Last night, after getting off work at 6:30, 2.5 hours LATE, Bockchow said he had Insomnia so I dropped by his place to watch it with him before going home. I'd never seen it before and it got seriously kickass reviews on rotten. I hadn't eaten all day and felt like blowing off my attempt at eating healthy that I've been on for a few months now, so we ordered pizza for delivery.
We ordered a large cheese pizza and two orders of buffalo wings. They had a special for the large pizza and one order of wings for $16 with additional wing orders for $6. One order was chipotle BBQ and the other was spicy BBQ. Good stuff. Anyway, I was told 40 to 45 minutes until our order was delivered. 90 minutes later, we called back asking wtf was going on. The manager said that the computer that took the order fvcked up and the order was never saved, money never charged to my card (thus the phone number getting lost too so they couldn't call back), so he was going to take my order again and give me a hefty discount to attempt to build customer loyalty -which was very cool. He took the order again and said that they have a special running where you can get a large one topping plus an order of wings for $16 total and with the extra order the pre-discount total would be $23. I told him that's exactly what we wanted to order. Anyway, he mentioned something about $5 so I thought he was going to give me a $5 discount, which isn't bad considering how much profit these places make on their price-jacking. He said another 40 minute wait. Grr... oh well. When the delivery guy showed up, the receipt that I had to sign for my card said the total bill was $5! Five dollars!
I gave the delivery guy a $5 tip cuz I'm a softy sometimes. 
I would have posted this in hot deals, but the deal's location-specific and already closed :laugh:
