"Two Regular-sized Classic Chicken Pizza with extra cheese."
"Sure Sir. The order will be delivered within 30 minutes, else you can have it for free."
And thus starts the race,
His Bike In Top Gear,
Our Pizza Guy steady on chase,
In destinations far, and near.
Even a minute of delay would make Pizza Guy bear the entire cost of delivery as per company's rules. He had to reach on time.
His bike shook, hit and then, numb. Cold blood. Deep black sleep.
"Where's the pizza, dude?"
"We are sorry, Sir. We'll be providing it to you for free."

One man's pizza, another man's life!
ReplyDeleteThe harsh reality of life! :/
Very true :-(
DeleteYaar, why you have to pick pizza for this. I love pizza and this story will never let me redeem free pizza. I hate you.
ReplyDeleteTreat this as a fiction :-/
DeleteOh this is so sad. I'm never gonna order pizza home now. I'd rather go get it myself.
ReplyDeleteSelf help is the best help (y)
DeleteIt's just a percentage that's free btw. I don't demand for the free thing, since I'm aware of it getting cut out of the delivery person's salary :)
ReplyDeleteOk...didn't know about the percentage part :-)
DeleteThe side effects of fast food...It is sad how indifferent people have become.
ReplyDeleteHow sad! This makes me feel guilty about ordering pizza :(
ReplyDeleteDon't feel guilty ... even I order pizza :-(
