As a gay, it's definitely gay. There's secret text that only gays can read. I can't tell you what it says or the ghost of Anderson Cooper will have me excommunicated from the gay Mafia, but it's there.
Meh, pretty low on scale of weirdness. Pizza employees remember regulars well. Friends of mine are vegetarian and also have some specific exclusions because they don't like an ingredient. Each time she calls in now, when they hear her voice they immediately ask "vegetarian pizza with xx, without yyy, zzz, medium?" And all she says is "yup", confirms the address and it's ordered. Having a "quirky" guy call in with requests like these makes for a cool story you tell your new coworkers, a break in a busy day ("captain america called!") etc. At the end of the day you're not forced "to play the game" after all, you can just deliver and not interact.
Dunno if u know what those people make? I wouldn't even wanna wake up for that salary, of course they do your stupid things to double the hourly salary. They already deliver you your fucking food.
I tip 50 bucks and that's it. I don't need their get-well-cards. It's a try to equalize things. A true thank-you that they're doing that shitty work so i don't have to.
The local pizza delivery girl friended me on FB. I got excited because I thought she was cute and into me. Then I learned she's super right-wing and weird (in a bad way.). She became WAY less cute to me after that.
We also remember the regulars who don't tip, and we control how long your order takes, if we make a stop at a gas station (or home, or the weedman's) before or after we drop off, if your soda "got a little shook up" because we "had to slam on the breaks," and not only that but even less scrupulous drivers have say 10-15min alone with your order. Just a word of warning for those I've just described. Might want to tip or vary your stores up...
