I order a lot of pizza. Well over $ 100 worth every month when I moved to this adresse.I the past I've had a problem where they send me pepperoni instead of pineapple. It is not the most surprising mistakes well. I generally order online, and I generally late at night, so most times it is too late to call back and have a replacement sent aften.Det same happened again a little over a week ago. I decided to go to the store and speak with a manager as I did. He was very friendly, even gave me his personal cell number in case I had a problem in fremtiden.I Last night I ordered my typical pizza online: extra large green pepper, onion, spicy Italian sausage and pineapple. I waited … and waited. Two hours went by. I gave them leeway because it was Saturday evening and there is a great festival started in the city. After two hours I called to find out what foregik.Lang story short the manager on duty – not the same guy I had talked to – said they had no record of the order. He also said that other people had called to say they had the same problem tonight (online orders not going through.) He eventually offered to send me free pizza, but with modvilje.Så came and it was pepperoni in Instead ananas.I today (Sunday), I went back over to the store. The leader I had previously spoken with were at work, but apparently away from the shop. The sub-manager (I guess?) A beautiful young woman listened to me and agreed to send a replacement pizza order pizza from the night before. I asked her to have it delivered within a time.Jeg came home and waited a little, then decided to take a quick shower. It's 90 degrees today, so … go 30 blocks made me pretty sweaty. I get out of the shower and my roommate says "have you order a pizza?" It turns out that the driver came during that four minutes, but instead of getting out of his ass and squeezed, he shouted. Again and again. My roommate had made a long distance call on my cell phone, and asked the guy to come to your door. As he never did. So he has forladt.Så I called the store again and talk to the young woman. I told her to tell the driver to call. Fifteen minutes later, my roommate – who was still on the phone long distance – got another call from him saying he was udenfor.Jeg ran down and the guy was still sitting in his car. I went to him and I asked him why he had not telephoned? I was angry, but calm and polite. He swore up and down that he called "20 times" even said I could ask my elderly neighbor who sat on her bow. I did not feel like arguing, so I took my pizza and went to bukke.Da I got there I asked my neighbor if he had run the clock. She shook her head no. So I hear over my shoulder: "I called 20 times! F * GG * TM * TH * RF * CK * R! "I think it's basically the end of my story. I do not even know where to go with it. I know that in my state – PA – discrimination against a company based on sexual orientation is a federal crime. I do not know if nicknames are technically discrimination, but it seemed to justify fyring.Min inclination is to discuss it with customer service, but they do not have a number where you can talk to one person – you can only complain online, or leave a voicemail complaint. So I guess that's what I want gøre.Det is so sad to go through a series of mistakes by other people – and carelessness on one in particular – and then be hit with an epithet. It is not really evil, because I'm better than that. But it still shocked mig.Åh and for the record … I opened the door to my little apartment complex (only 3 apartments) rang and I could hear it ringing in my apartment from all the way down. I do not think I would have missed 20 low, nor would my værelseskammerat.Sandsynligvis not a good way to ensure future business.

Matthew writes that the local Pizza Hut used to have a $ 10 minimum for online delivery orders. It is fair enough and a common practice. But when the chain raised the minimum $ 10.50 at the same time that they debuted a $ 10 pizza promotion. Is Pizza Hut deliberately trying to encourage customers to order extra things they do not have to make minimum? I used Pizza Hut's online ordering service for about five years now and I've probably put over 100 orders in the period. When they first started online ordering service, the minimum delivery amount was $ 8 This seemed like a fair price to me, although they still charge you a $ 2 delivery amount, so honestly, I do not know why they would enforce a minimum delivery amount, but it is irrelevant. Roughly a year ago they raised that amount to $ 10 This seemed kind of unfair, but I've been a customer for a while, and I think I did not mind too much. This meant that sometimes I'd have to add a bottle of water (which I do not really want) to my to get it delivered. It was annoying, but I made due. Recently I tried to order a pizza during their "Any pizza for $ 10" promotion. I was told when I attempted to checkout, that now the minimum delivery amount was $ 10.50. This seems absolutely crazy to me, and I have no idea why they did raise the minimum delivery amount by $ 0.50 other than to screw over their customers and force them to buy things they do not want. I contacted Pizza Hut from their online contact form as soon as I came across this and had an automated response back, but no real e-mail (although I wanted to be contacted). I also called their customer support line (which is only open a few hours a day) and told them my problem and was told that they did not know why it was raised, but someone would call me back in three days. This has never happened enten.Jeg was hungry for pizza last night and submitted an order from Papa John's online service for a large pizza for $ 10 and they had no problem delivering it to me. As soon as I placed the order, I told Pizza Hut that I did it via their online contact form, but as of yet, I still have not heard anything tilbage.Hvis I called the store, I am sure they would deliver a pizza to me for $ 10, but I'm not sure why Pizza Hut is pushing the online service, but to punish the people who use det.Jeg just wanted you to be aware of this issue, so hopefully it will come forth in the light and they want to change this ridiculous politik.Personligt I do not understand the problem because there is no sense to order from Pizza Hut, if you will not get Breadsticks. But that's me. Plastic Jungle, a marketplace for gift cards, hoping to shake the gift card market, gift card holders to use certificates for a given shop at another online retail business. Plastic Jungle you can buy, sell and exchange gift cards online. Instead of receiving cash for the gift certificate, also Plastic Jungle, you can trade value in an Amazon gift certificate or give your money to charity. Users can receive cash for unwanted gift cards for up to 92% of the unused portion and buy gift cards at up to 30% rabat.Plastic Jungle, which has just raised another $ 7,400,000 in grants will partner with online retailers to operate a payment portal in the purchasing process, which will allow traders to use a credit from another shop to make an online payment. You enter the gift certificate as you would a credit card based on the unique serial number and pin code, every major gift card has. Like its exchange on the website, will Plastic Jungle offers you up to 92% of the uncommitted balance on the card. So if you want to spend a $ 100 gift certificate at Target.com Gap.com, you'll receive $ 92 from Plastic Jungle to put toward your Gap.com balance.Plastic Jungle will then transfer that $ 92 into another Target.com map and re-sell the remainder of the card at PlasticJungle.com. Plastic Jungle is working with both gift card processors and retailers to make the process be done electronically and therefore immediate. And the start will be to implement this check-out system with a major retailer that will go live by mid-summer (Plastic Jungle declined to name the retailer). And it will only be used and implemented in line transaktioner.Det seems like a stretch to believe that retailers would be on board with this. Gap or Target can enjoy when no user cards but because then they get to keep the cash without handing over any goods. Helping Plastic Jungle make a more liquid market out of gift cards might not be in their best interesseMen Plastic Jungle CEO Gary Briggs insists that with more than 30 billion dollars wasted in unused gift cards, the ability to transfer balances will kick start the movement of these short and inevitably lead to more e-commerce transactions and more money for retailers. The startup also just launched a partnership with Facebook that allows users to sell unused gift cards and receive Facebook Credits.Briggs recently told us that Plastic Jungle's revenues are eight times more that what it was a year ago. Briggs also said that "millions" of dollars have flown through the marketplace since its launch two years ago. Plastic Jungle faces competition from Card Pool and others.
