A ‘No More Order’ Disorder

(I order a pizza for dinner and am told it will take over 20 minutes as they are extremely busy. I take a seat and watch the guy making pizzas. More customers come in to order pizzas.)

Pizza Guy: *to his staff* “No more orders for pizza tonight.”

(Next customer comes in to order a pizza.)

Staff Member: “I’m sorry but we aren’t taking any more orders for pizza tonight. We are flat out.”

Customer #1: “Oh, okay, that’s fine. I’ll order something else then.”

(This goes on for each customer, each opting for another item, until one guy with a heavy accent walks in.)

Staff Member: “I’m sorry, sir, we are no longer taking orders for pizza tonight.”

Customer #2: “I want pizza. You can make one for me.”

Staff Member: “Sorry. The boss has said no more orders for pizza, but you can have anything else.”

Customer #2: “Where’s your boss?”

(He gets directed to the boss who has not stopped making pizzas while I was there.)

Customer #2: “I want a couple of pizzas. You can make them for me.”

Pizza Guy: *pointing to the pile of orders he still has to do* “Sorry, but I already have an hour’s worth of orders waiting to be made and we close in 15 minutes.”

Customer #2: “You can squeeze a couple more in for me. We are hungry. Just for me.”

Pizza Guy: “No, sorry, I can’t, I’ve already turned many away and can’t make an exception. All of my staff leave in 15 minutes. I’ll be left alone making these. You should have come in earlier.”

Customer #2: “But it’s just two more.”

Pizza Guy: “I’ve already said no. You should have been earlier than 15 minutes to closing.”

(The guy hovered around the counter, obviously trying to make the pizza guy feel sorry for him. He just got ignored before finally giving up.)
