Well it has to do with food anyway. __________________________________________________ _______ = NZ General Chat / Debate =================================================N Z= Msg : 1530 [1-1530] From : Miles Maxted 23-Apr-04 05:09:00 3:772/1 To : All Subj : Chips with the Meatlover ================================================== ==================NZ_FIDONET= G,morning all, Let me share this thought from kiwioenz@yahoo.com.au who wrote... "In these days of rampant credit card fraud, you may also not be suprised there's the temptation out there for your local pizza driver to rip you off! (not saying they would) Pizza Hit plainly print at the bottom of their DELIVERY receipts the following information about your credit card payment for all to see: * Credit Card Type * FULL Credit Card Number * Expiry Date * Credit Card Name Make the most of Pizza Hutt, mug your pizza boy - not for his cash (you're cleverly reminded on the same receipt that PLEASE NOTE OUR DRIVERS DO NOT CARRY MORE THAN $20), but for his receipts. If you're lucky you'll come away with a wad of valid credit card details and get free pizzas for life!!!" However, seems to me that he's missed the real point; consider this conversation.... Operator: "Thank you for calling Pizza Hut. May I have your national ID number?" Customer: "Hi, I'd like to place an order." Operator: "May I have your NIDN first, sir?" Customer: "My National ID Number, yeah, hold on, eh, it's 6102049998-45-54610." Operator: "Thank you, Mr. Sheehan. I see you live at 1742 Meadowland Drive, and the phone number's 494-2366. Your office number over at Lincoln Insurance is 745-2302, and your cell number's 266-2566. Which number are you calling from, sir?" Customer: "Huh? I'm at home. Where d'ya get all this information?" Operator: "We're wired into the system, sir." Customer: (Sighs) "Oh, well, I'd like to order a couple of your All-Meat Special pizzas." Operator: "I don't think that's a good idea, sir." Customer: "Whaddya mean?" Operator: "Sir, your medical records indicate that you've got very high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol. Your National Health Care provider won't allow such an unhealthy choice." Customer: "Damn. What do you recommend, then?" Operator: "You might try our low-fat Soybean Pizza. I'm sure you'll like it." Customer: "What makes you think I'd like something like that?" Operator: "Well, you checked out 'Gourmet Soybean Recipes' from your local library last week, sir. That's why I made the suggestion." Customer: "All right, all right . Give me two family-sized ones, then." Operator: "That should be plenty for you, your wife and your four kids, sir. Your total is $49.99." Customer: "Lemme give you my credit card number." Operator: "I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid you'll have to pay in cash. Your credit card balance is over its limit." Customer: "I'll run over to the ATM and get some cash before your driver gets here." Operator: "That won't work either, sir. Your checking account's overdrawn." Customer: "Never mind. Just send the pizzas. I'll have the cash ready. How long will it take?" Operator: "We're running a little behind, sir. It'll be about 45 minutes, sir. If you're in a hurry you might want to pick 'em up while you're out getting the cash, but carrying pizzas on a motorcycle can be a little awkward." Customer: "How the hell do you know I'm riding a bike?" Operator: "It says here you're in arrears on your car payments, so your car got repo'ed. But your Harley's paid up. Customer: "@#%/$@&?#!&?#!" Operator: "I'd advise watching your language, sir. You've already got a July 2006 conviction for cussing out a cop." Customer: (Speechless) Operator: "Will there be anything else, sir?" Customer: "Yes, I have a coupon for a free 2 liter of Coke". Operator: "I'm sorry sir, but our ad's exclusionary clause prevents us from offering free soda to diabetics." .............. If you've rung Pizza Hut for the second time ever in NZ, you'll know exactly what the conversation above is based upon... :-)) ___ MultiMail/MS-DOS v0.45 --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: === Maxie BBS.
