Striving Against Opposition

Side rant - We can put a man on the Moon but Pizza Hut can't get a Pizza to a University Residence because it doesn't have a Street Adress

This is a diversion from politics and the exercise of my owner personal perogative to be slightly petty. Pizza Hut seems to be using a call centre to place their orders, they also seem to have a people in a call centre who don't have a clue as to what their doing. I live in a residence on a university campus and they can't get a pizza to me because I don't have a street adress.

Them:"Where is that then?"

Me: "It's on the university campus, and a service road leads from the street to it, it does not have a street adresss."

Them: "Where is the university? What's the university's adress"

Me: "You do realize that the university takes up a large number of city blocks and is fairly hard to miss don't you? I happen to be off X street on the campus."

THEM: "Hmm..we need to put in an exact street adress into our system. I'll ask the supervisor."

Me: "Fine"

Them: "Hello, this is the supervisor...our system can't accept an adress without a street number."

Me: "So your basically saying your system doesn't believe where I live exists."

Them: "No we believe you but we can't make our system work."

Me: "You do realize you have competitors who get here just fine and that by doing this your losing business."

Them: "We can't make our computers do that."

Me: "You have a store fifteen minutes from here..."

Them: "Sorry our computer program won't let us."

Me: "Fine, I'll go to your competitors since you obviously can't do something as simple as getting a pizza to where I live."

*Chris then hangs up and phones Dominos who CAN figure out how to get him his damn pizza. Capitalism works.*
