If you’re in India, if you’re Hungry AND if it’s Wednesday. Domino’s is what you’re looking for. 8pm
So I call up Domino’s and order 2 large pizzas (well that effectively 1 pizza, as you’re not paying for the other).
On an average, it takes about 40 minutes but never exceeds an hour. Meh, I wouldn’t be typing this down “a life-changing story” if it were average. 9 pm
Pizza not yet delivered.
Not a call. Not a correspondence. 9.30 pm
An hour and a half.
A Test of patience. I ring them up. Claiming it’s Wednesday and a typical rush hour, they apologize, instill a fake will-be-there-in-half-an-hour hope and I give in.
(Half an hour delay vs. A free Large pizza ?.. Half an hour delay)
10.15pm
I umm… fall asleep wake up at about 10.15.
Realizing it was 45 minutes since I called them and more than 2 hours since I placed my order ….. I call ’em up again and am told that my pizza has left and is on its way. 2 mins later I get a call from the delivery guy (Ahhh..
Finally) who asks me if I could collect my order from IIT* (which is about 20 mins away) as the management guys messed up orders ….or place a similar order the next morning. Frustrated, agitated and pissed beyond comprehension…. I blast at the guy harping on the ” I shall not be victim to your inefficiency, GET ME MY ORDER NOW”.
11.15pm
By now, I was the only person in my home still awake in hope of that pizza. I get a call from the delivery guy as he tries to locate my address in the labyrinth of dark lampless streets. Even before I guide him, I narrate my misery almost abusing him and his inefficient system.
What happened next changed everything… FULL STORY on the next page.
