As usual I had to work Monday night. Which as everyone knows was the Packer Viking game. I wasnt really sure how busy we were going to be since there were a lot of bars having deals for the game. We had one order for seven O'Clock, that was six pizzas and 50 wings. We really didnt have many orders, so we thought that doing the big order was going to be no problem. At about 6:30 when we were going to start the order, the phones started ringing off the hook. Everyone was answering the phones along with trying to get everything else done. We had to call my boss in to help, so we could get the big order in and still complete every other order in a timely fasion. Everyone was running around trying to get everything done. Finaly the phones stopd ringing and it slowed down. We have a T.V. in the front of the building, so the employees can watch the games. I was really looking forward to watching the game, but first I had to fininsh dishes. Once those were done I had my boss's son take out the garbage, I was pickigng up in back when I hit my head on the sink, I have a bump. I finished cleaning then went up front to watch the game. I was standing there and when ever anything good or bad happened, you could hear my boss yell or cheer from the back room. After seeing the outcome of the game I do not think my boss was very happy. Since I did not have to close, I don't know for sure, but I have been there four years, so I know him pretty well.
It's kind of odd that we were randomly assigned to the same group because I really get what you are talking about when it comes to pizza. Don't you hate it when someone either orders a pizza for delivery or walks in the store 5 minutes before close?
ReplyDeleteYes, but thanks to my boss, who i am usualy closing with, we stop taking delivery orders 15 minutes before we close. So if our drivers are out on deliveries we can give them time to get back so we can leave on time. But when people come in we still have to take their order, and they are usualy drunk since there are three bars on the street we are on.
