A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
Today I went to the place place for lunch. I went to the cashier and I said I want two slices of vegetable pizza to go. And the cashier ask you want the two pizza special. And I said no I want the two slices of vegetable pizza please. He ask again repeatedly and said 5.50 please. Then the woman yelled and she said he want two slices of vegetable pizza. And he said that $6.00. Then the woman said don't jipped him because the way he is. The man ask what is he then. The woman said he's disabled. The man asked it this true. I said yes I got ADHD and Autism. The woman actually knew that I was disabled because of my social problems. She said that I work with disabled kids at my job I hate it when people try to take advantage to disabled people. I thank her for defending me because I feel like I was discriminated because of my disability and she said you're welcome sweety. I paid the $6.00. and got my two slices of vegetable pizza place a diet Coke and I left. There a few good people in the world and she one of them.

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
I'm happy to hear that, but to be honest I'm having a bit of trouble following the story.
It looks like the guy at the pizza place told you $5.50, and then changed the price to $6.00 after being confronted by the lady... that sounds like the price got worse, not better.

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
so the guy was going to give you the special, which would have saved you 50 cents.

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
As someone with autism myself, I actually can see why I might not want to save money (especially if it's just 40p/50 cents). Maybe the two pizza slice deal didn't include vegetable pizza, just to pick the most obvious example (I do not want to go into routines and rituals here, it's a topic specific to each individual person and it affects me massively differently than with other autistic people I know).
Heck, if it came with a can/bottle of drink and I didn't have my bag on me (not that it's likely to happen, I feel uncomfortable without my bag) I might very well refuse a deal because I don't want to carry the drink with me. Maybe I'm not interested in whatever extras the offer gives and just want my darn pizza. Maybe there's some information here that we don't know about that affects it, anything's possible.

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
I believe i understand.
The 'Two pizza slice special' for one reason or another is not something that applied to 'two vegetable pizza slices' as a result, the actual misunderstanding was what kind of pizza Bartmanhomer actually wanted, rather then the price.
(so in short, the cashier didn't understand that he wanted vegetable pizza and tried to give him a different kind.)
Do correct me if I'm misreading this situation.
Edit: largely ninja'd it seems. Oh well.Last edited by Aragehaor; 2017-01-17 at 06:29 PM.

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
It sounds like the guy was trying to get you to order the two pizzas as a special, which cost $5.50 instead of $6.00. He was trying to save you $0.50, but if you order "two vegetable pizza slices" instead of ordering the special, technically you're telling him not to give you the special price.
The thing about retail places, especially food places, is that to eliminate any possible confusion over what the customer ordered, the employee will enter the order exactly as the customer ordered it. So if a place has a "3 tacos and 2 burritos meal for $4.00" but you go and order 3 tacos and 2 burritos (which is normally $5.00)- the cashier will usually say something like "do you want the 3 tacos and 2 burritos meal for only $4.00?" and you insist on ordering the food "a la carte" or individually, eventually the cashier will give up and just charge you $5.00.
It's very easy for someone who is distracted or has issues reading social cues to mistake the offer of a daily special that will save them money for the offer of a post-sale addon ("Would you like fries with that") that will cost them money.This signature is no longer incredibly out of date, but it is still irrelevant.

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
My interpretation is also the same as Icewraith's, but right now there's no way to be sure until the following question is answered:
If Bartmanhomer had given him that $5.50 he was asking for, was he going to give him the two slices of veggie pizza he wanted?
It seems that 1 slice costs $3 while getting 2 slices gets you a slight "volume discount"... if you accept it.Offer good while supplies last. Two to a customer. Each item sold separately. Batteries not included. Mileage may vary. All sales are final. Allow six weeks for delivery. Some items not available. Some assembly required. Some restrictions may apply. All entries become our property. Employees not eligible. Entry fees not refundable. Local restrictions apply. Void where prohibited. Except in Indiana.

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
I already said that I wasn't interested the two pizza special. And if you're going to make an argument for me getting the two veggie pizza slices and turning down for a measly discount, Don't waste your breath. What's done, it's done. Beside I rarely go to the pizza place anyway.

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
Don't get so defensive, you won! You got to overpay for pizza and a minimum wage cashier was lectured for trying to help out a customer, everyone's happy.

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
I agree, it's absolutely terrible when somebody takes some minor and innocuous situation that they don't fully understand and turns it into a major issue.

Thank you, Kid Jake, for saying just about everything I was thinking so I don't have to.

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
If I may, I believe I can clear things up a bit.
You have said you did not want the two pizza special, but nobody here knows what the two pizza special is. Is it two slices of any pizza, such as the veggie pizza? Is it two slices of a specific pizza, so that you cannot choose veggie pizza? Is it two slices of pizza with a drink that you could not carry? Is it something that I haven't listed at all? We do not go to your pizza place, so we have no way of knowing.
Anyone here who is questioning what happened is basically saying, "can you tell us what the two pizza special is?"Last edited by Peelee; 2017-01-17 at 10:04 PM.

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
Am I the only one who is routinely confronted with personnel that does stuff wrong? Giving you something instead of something else, not doing their job at all, pretending not to be there, ignoring the bell used to call for service while badly pretending to be doing something else, mixing up with payment, misusing your credit card, deliberately withholding information, giving wrong or false information, not correcting their mistakes when notified?
The costumer isn't always right, but the low pay doesn't mean that the worker is a good worker, or that good workers don't screw up occasionally, or that there aren't bad workers around.Originally Posted by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
"None of us likes to be hated, none of us likes to be shunned. A natural result of these conditions is, that we consciously or unconsciously pay more attention to tuning our opinions to our neighbor’s pitch and preserving his approval than we do to examining the opinions searchingly and seeing to it that they are right and sound." - Mark Twain

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
I hate to be the one to break it to you. Often they actually aren't there, or they are actually doing something more important. We have these legally mandated things called lunches, for instance, during which you are not on the clock and legally cannot do work.
Or are mopping, or scrubbing baseboards, or changing lightbulbs, or are filing essential paperwork, or taking out the trash.

Re: A Woman Defended Me At The Pizza Place
Even out in the boonies, there's always been more than one person working at a time. If Al is on lunch, that's fine, Bob ain't. Burker King isn't gonna close for an hour, they're gonna stagger the breaks. Same for mopping, trash, or other non-counter jobs.
And I've never known a non-manager employee to do any essential paperwork.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.
