Due to lack of response

Last night a few of us where interested in getting some pizzas. It is or was my brother, Wendy, two friends from college, and me. Wendy is having a girls' weekend. Since the other girls were not at the house yet and Wendy had to finish getting ready and watch Joy, my bro and I went (sent) to pick up the pizza.

I thought I would be proactive and call ahead. The first dial did not go through. It was the busy signal. Then I call back and it rings repeatedly. I try a few minutes later and get the busy signal. So we go since we have time anyway. We arrive at the pizza place. It was very busy. All my bro wanted to do was watch the game. Fortunately, it was on in the background because we were there for a while. We waited what felt like an eternity. It might have only been about 30 minutes because the game went to halftime.

I want to support local shops, but sometimes I enjoy the convenience of the chains. The speed is sometimes faster and sometimes the price is better. However, once we claimed our food, we were not disappointed. Maybe that extra weight is a marketing ploy to make the food seem like it taste better.

On an unrelated part about customer service, it does seem like when I get a vibe that something is not right or something out of the ordinary happens, that is when I get strange service. I could just be looking back from a bad experience and thinking oh yeah, there was that marker.
