Ordering for delivery. Why oh why must the delivery be of a certain value. Why don't these people seem to cater for single people any more 

 

I've just ordered a pizza (same shop I've been using for a few years now) Because it's the only one in the area that does 8 inch ones. I cant eat a 10 inch one all to myself. Anyway, tried to order one tonight and they now say order has got to be a fiver minimum. They've just lost a customer and I told them so.

I like yesterday's pizza, pop it in the fridge for tomorrow then microwave quickly with some beans. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

But given your experience, I would not use them again. I don't stand for poor customer service even from businesses I have used for years.

 

How was it?

I'm not using them again EC, or any others. Like I say I used that one cos it was the only one that does small 8 inch ones  I'd rather do without now.

 

It wasn't up to it's usual standard if that's what you mean

That's a shame it was not up to the usual standard, maybe it was tainted by your experience. They do some decent frozen pizza's these days. Have you considered getting a couple in for when you fancy one?

I think I'll have to do that EC, but that would mean making my mind up to have one that night, as I would have to get it out the freezer before I went to work

Ah, well I am quite fortunate as I mostly know what my evening meal is going to be. But yes, you would need to defrost.

When we go over to England we live in resturants cos its so cheap there..Our chinese does'nt deliver but chicken ball special would be about ₮8..our Indian is 5 miles away and their minimum is about ₮15 or ₮18 if its below they charge you ₮5....

That's scandalous!  Luckily we have a chinese, chippy, pizza place and Indian all within a few minutes of us so we usually don't order it for delivery and just collect it instead but most of the other places are in town and it's only between ÂĢ1.50 - ÂĢ2.50 delivery charge and not many places make you place a large order....in fact there's only one that I can think of but then they rip the arse of their prices too.

 

We get loads of people up from over the border to do their shopping here aswell (we're on the border with donegal) as the prices seem to escalate the further south you go!

OK.. someone has to say it.    There can't be much eating in them?  

 

What's a chicken ball special?
