Delivery Pizza Complaints

[shilala]

I like pizza. I'm not complaining, cause they'll just spit in it. And if I don't tip, they'll spit in it more next time. The pizza guy gets five bucks even if the pizza is half eaten and two hours late. Period. IF it's more than one pizza, he gets more.

See, that's what I hate. People going out of their way to be a pricksicle. Since it's a forgone conclusion that it's ok for you to tamper with my food if I don't provide gratuity, or gratuity as you see fit, if I get service that I deem as crappy is it acceptable for me to take a crap on the hood of your car?

I think the difference lies between what you think is right and what actually happens.
It is not right for people to spit in your food but it happens.

I don't think it's a forgone conclusion that it's okay to honker on my pizza, but I do think it's a reality, albeit a very slim chance.
I don't think it's acceptable to crap on anyone's car, either.
In the event I was to catch some kid defiling my pizza, it's going to open up a whole world of "acceptable" possibilities, though.

Expound upon this please. I think I know what you're trying to say, just want to be sure.

Forgone conclusion was too strong, but we as a consumer almost expect something afoul to happen if the service industry isn't given decent gratuity regardless of the level of service. That's my beef.

They're hiring kids, you pretty much have to expect that kind of thing. I don't think for a second that it happens as much as we might think it does, but that fear is a chip they don't even have to play. We play it for them.
I guess it's built in. We know what we're up against when we order a pizza. You give the kid five bucks, that's the deal. If I don't want to give the kid five bucks, I shouldn't order a pizza.
It's really just like everything else. If you don't want crappy service and soggy cigars, don't buy them from CI. The list goes on and on.
I suppose we could argue forever how it should be in a perfect world, or how it should be so we'd like it better, but that isn't gonna change that it is what it is. Pizza sure isn't the only place we have to "play by their rules". It's life.

Back home we have Frank's Pizza. It is easily the best pizza in the universe. It's so good that spit isn't going to matter. You could dip this stuff in a tub of spit and it'd still make your eyes tear from the sheer goodness. I think everyone should order from there (but then it'd turn into that commercial goo like Pizza Hut and Dominos).

My complaint is levied against pizza delivery guys, but the service industry in general.

Holy **** Scott, too funny, the place I order from on Friday nights when I'm working at the lounge is Frank's Pizza and their pie is the same quality!

My second sentence is meant to expand.
It is not right for them to spit BUT they do regardless.
