my wife needs pizza

7 minutes before we close, the phone rings. g-dogg answers it and tells the guy three times that we are not open for carryout any more, we're only doing delivers. he gets the guys address and i tell g-dogg that it's out of our delivery area. g-dogg tells the guy to call the store that delivers to him. hang up.

5 minutes to close, we can feel the anticipation growing. we want out of there. i answer the call and it's the same guy from before. he says that the other store he called is not answering (not surprising since they are closed), and that he just wants to pick up the pizza. i tell him we can't do pick ups, but we can deliver if the address is in our area. he says that his wife really needs a pizza bad. he tells me the name of an apartment complex and i ask him for the address. he tells me to hold on. i can hear him asking some other dude what his address is and explaining the whole situation to him. he gets back on the phone, tells me the address, and this one is also out of our area. i explain it to him and he really doesn't want to give up.

i tell him i'm sorry, but there is nothing i can do for him. then he asks me if there are any other places open. i tell him i don't work at any other pizza places, so i wouldn't know what their hours are. he clarifies by asking if there are any other hell's pizzas open. i tell him there is one location that stays open later than ours, but i tell him they aren't going to be able to deliver to him. he says that's ok, because he'll just go pick it up.

yeah, you do that, buddy.
