Pine Away
(It’s late on 4th of July, about 30 minutes before the pizza place is going to close. I have been doing Uber for several hours and ready to end it for the night and wanting to order to pick up on my way home.)
Employee: “Thank you for calling [Pizza Place]. Is this for dine in, carry out, or delivery?”
Me: “Order for pick up.”
Employee: *after getting my name and number* “What would you like to order?”
Me: “A small pepperoni and pineapple.”
Employee: “Oh, I’m sorry, but we are out of pineapple tonight.”
Me: “Oh, no!”
Employee: “We are also out of chicken, green onions, and anchovies.”
Me: “Well, I’m not so sad about the last one but pineapple is kind of vital for my pizza…”
