Oktoberfest Weekend

As everyone in La Crosse knows when Oktoberfest comes around everything is going to get crazy. There is no exception when it comes to working in a pizza place. This year as usual we recieved phone calls to have pizzas delivered on the parade route. There usualy many people who call and order, but this year we only had one person who call Thursday and Friday night. Thats right this crazy person was sitting in the rain waiting for the parade on Thursday night, when the parade itself is not until 10 a.m. on Saturday. Friday night was suprizling slow, but Saturday night was crazy busy. We had tons of orders starting at 5 o'clock and not slowing down until 9 o'clock. Many of these people had been drinking, you could tell by their slurred speach, and lack of ability to recall their own address. Many of these people did not cause a problem. There was one person who had a pizza delivered to the Stoney Creek Inn, our delivery driver knocked on his door for 5 minutes, went down to the front desk and called his room, and the bar and he still did not answer. Our driver called us and wanted to know what he wanted us to do. There wasn't much we could do, so we just told the driver to come back. About five to ten minutes later the phone rang, like it had all night, it was the guy from the Stoney Creek Inn. He wanted to know where his pizza was. I told him how our driver had knocked on his door and even called his room and the bar and he had not been their. He still wanted his pizza, so when our driver came back, we had to send him all the way back out there. He was not a happy camper, so we gave him a few more deliveries to take with the one back to Stoney. That guys was our only issue over the weekend. Well besides the fact that my boss's son's girlfriend had their baby on Sunday. So my boss's wife did not work on that day so I had to come in and work, which was no big deal, it was all worth is when I got to hold him on Wednesday night.
