1st May.. the Labour Day

Been quite a while since I last blogged huh..
hai. ok, gonna do a brief recap about the incident happened on Labour Day..

Scenario goes like this:

7:40pm
Tom and the rat family decided to call for a delivery service of fast-food since everyone were too tired to cook, and we thought "hey, why not order some pizzas huH?"
And true enough, the next thing I knew, is that I'm calling Canadian Pza..
After delivering my message to the acting manager then, who took down my orders, he finally end off the conversation that the delivery time will take about 1hr or 1hr 20mins.
Everyone were hungry at that point in time but we just hoped that the pzas can come asap~!!

8:40pm
Everyone is groaning in hunger and 1hr has passed, and I was thinking since the delivery guy should be on his way, if not on the lift coming up, why not I make a call to check my order status, and to make myself feel happier to know that the order has been sent out? Anticipated to know that the truth is the same as what I was thinking, as the dialling tone rang and rang. The acting manager picked up the phone, and after I filled him in about my particulars, he went to check my order status. But unfortunately, as he asks, I could hear the background exchanging of voices communicating.
Manager: Is the order for Mr.Lee ready? The 2 bacon pzas.
Kitchen Crew: Haven't do yet. We're going to do now.
When he returns to the phone, I requested for the pzas to be delivered at the corridor in 30mins' time. After negotiating with his kitchen crews again, he gave me a resounding YES that they'll deliver and reach in 30mins' time.
Although sad about the extension, we just have to bear for 30mins more to our highly anticipated pzas!!

9:15pm
After 2 commercial breaks from the 9pm show, I called again. I expressed my anger more, especially after he gave a poor excuse that, hey. the pzas are ready, but it's just that the delivery guy is not here yet. He even requested for another 30mins extension, for the pzas to reach at doorstep. Upon hearing my announcement to the rat's siblings about the another 30mins delaying, the big sister rat came into the line and requested for the manager. The guy on the line promised that the manager would get back to us soon. The phone call ended about 9:30pm.

9:35pm
The manager called, and mentioned that the driver is already on the way, and will reach in about 20mins. The driver would actually come from JE's outlet. Even bus during peak hours, from JE interchange, would take only 15mins to reach the bus stop below, and what's more the delivery vehicle is a motorcycle, and the road is not pack at all, as the time clearly proves. The manager even offered to give a 20% discount which is about $5, for damages - the hunger everyone endured, the 'scam' everyone believed in, about the pzas arriving much earlier, the anger of waiting for this dinner which will keep us hungry for quite a period of time.
As requested by the sister rat in the rat hole, the manager promised that the order would arrived in 10mins' time. After the call, it's about 9:43pm.

10:00pm
We decided not to wait any longer for this type of food delivery service, a service which will starve us for several hours. I went down to buy 'zhi-char', and 5 of us shared 3packets. I came back at about 10:10pm and the delivery guy is still not here yet.

10:30pm
While eating half-way, as our entrance's doors are closed, the delivery guy came, and knock on the door for about 3mins. Unable to take the stupid meaningless knocks from him, Jerry's father opened the door, and shoot:
"Don't you get what we're trying to tell you? You keep knocking and knocking, it's pointless. 7:30pm till now you know? you understand what is 7:30? Take the food back and tell your manager we don't want already."
We're having our dinner now" <-- This phrase was sort of shouted by Jerry, not very loud though. lol, I noticed it =P

Hmm that's about the scenario that day, that caused an uproar about Canadian Pzas' services. And I bet CP had took great notice about my handphone number, and I don't think I can ever call them using my phone again. Who knows what additional 'ingredient' not requested, be added in? The impression towards CP has became terrible since that hungry night. Even though the food is nice, but if the service is like this, not punctual at all, and keeps procrastinating, it's pointless to order from them then, since they provide the 'nice food', after starving us for hours and minutes, when we can buy edible nice food as well, and the good thing about this is, we need not starve.

Ok it's late. I gotta rush to bed!! Tired. Hopefully I can wake up, and eat with Jerry breakfast~
Jerry!! Your new hair style is gorgeous and perfectly attractive. Looks pretty and nice (:
