Sizza Delivery, Star Date 2020
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=
Operator: Thank you for calling Sizza Hunt. May I have your...
Customer: Hi, I'd like to order...
Operator: May I have your NIDN first, sir?
Customer: My National ID Number? Yeah, hold on, er...
it's 210704758-23-9102460."
Operator: Thank you, Mr. Billygate. I see you live at 13531
Midland Drive, phone number's 001-223-7896, office number
over at Best Insurance Inc. is 222-3894-123 and
cell phone is 6783-20198. You are now calling from home.
Customer: Huh? Where d'ya get all this information?
Operator: We're wired into the system, sir.
Customer: (Sighs)--Oh, well, I'd like to order a couple of your
All-beef Special Sizza.
Operator: I don't think that's a good idea for you, sir.
Customer: Whaddya mean?
Operator: Sir, your medical records indicate that you've got
high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol. And your
National Health Service provider does not allow such an
unhealthy choice.
Customer: Shi#*%... What do you recommend, then?
Operator: Try our low-fat Soybean tofu Sizza, you'll love it.
Customer: What makes you think I'd like something like that?
Operator: Well, you checked out "Gourmet Soybean Recipes"
from your local library last week, sir. That's why I made the
suggestion.
Customer: All right, all right. Give me two family-sized ones,
and what's the damage?
Operator: That should be plenty for you, your wife and your four
kids, sir. The "damage" as you put it, comes to $69.99
Customer: Lemme give you my credit card number.
Operator: I'm sorry sir, I'm afraid you'll have to pay in cash.
Your credit card balance is over its limit.
Customer: I'll run over to the ATM and get some cash before your
delivery van gets here.
Operator: That won't work either, sir. Your checking account's
overdrawn.
Customer: Never mind. Just send the sizzas. I'll have the cash
ready, how long will it take?
Operator: We're running a little behind, sir. It'll be about 45
minutes, sir. If you're in a hurry you might want to pick 'em up
while you're out getting the cash, but carrying sizzas on your
motorcycle can be a little awkward.
Customer: How do you know I'm riding a bike?
Operator: My screen info says here that you're in arrears on
your car payments and got repo'ed. But your "Harley's" paid up,
I assumed that you'd be using it.
Customer: @#%/$@&?#!
Operator: Please be reminded to watch your language, sir.
You've already got a Jan 2019 conviction for cussing out a cop.
Customer: (Speechless)
Operator: Will there be anything else, sir?
Customer: No, nothing. Oh, yeah, don't forget the two free
liters of Fizz's your ad says I get with the sizzas.
Operator: I'm sorry sir, but our ad's exclusionary clause
does not allow us to offer free soda to diabetics.
