Why Do We Even Sell Pizza?

I will refer to another co-worker as the 'Pizza Guy'.

Setting: I'm washing my hands when a customer comes in...

Me: "Hello! What can I get for you today?"

Customer: "Hello. I would like a cheese pizza please."

Me: "Sure thing! Well actually, our pizza is in the freezer right now, so it will take a while for it to thaw out first, is that alright?"

Customer: "That's alright."

Me: (Off to the freezer to grab a pizza and then I bring it back to the counter. I open the wrapping and then the man starts to tell me what kind of pizza he wants.)

Customer: "I would like extra cheese and then some of your vegetables."

Me: "Sure thing."

And so I begin to put on some of the vegetables he wants and the extra cheese.

In the toaster it goes and now we wait for a minute and twenty five seconds.

The timer goes off.

I pull the pizza out.

I put it into the pizza box.

Me: "Would you like that cut into fourths or eighths?"

Customer: "Fourths please."

I cut the pizza into fourths with some difficulty.

Hmmm thats different.

Maybe its just all the vegetables that is making it hard to cut.

Oh well.

Me: "Here you are sir! Enjoy your pizza!"

Customer: "Thanks." (Sits down at a table with his daughter and begins to eat the pizza.)

I start cleaning some counters and just doing my work...

When it dawns on me.

Customer: "Excuse me?"

I forgot to thaw out the pizza first.

Customer: "I dont think my pizzza was cooked enough or something...?"

Me: (Why do we even sell pizza? This is a sandwich place!) "I'm so sorry sir! Here, I'll make you a new one!"

Pizza Guy: "What happened? How long did you thaw out the pizza for?"

Me: "Not long enough."
