Ordering Pizza, Jwalamukhi style!
Alas all this is just a memory now....
This is something we did in our final year at IIT Delhi, Jwalamukhi hostel.
We used to get pizzas from pizza hut in Green Park. Now their pizzas are good but prohibitively priced. But the price we used to get them for was peanuts...
We had a 50% discount coupon, and pizza hut was also running an offer at that time of giving a pizza of the same value free with an order from the international range of pizzas. We also had those coupons. Normally they didn't club two coupons together but for us they did cause they had allowed us this double option once and we reminded them about this everytime they tried to deny this option. So we ordered pizzas, got a second pizza absolutely free and also a 50% discount on the total price. And so we got medium international range pizzas from pizza hut for about 60 bucks...
Sometimes the total order exceeded 500 bucks, after which the 50% discount coupon isn't valid on the amount that exceeds 500. If we were lucky the person taking our call didn't notice and we got a discount on the whole. I recall once that we had announced the coupon to the guy on the phone but that didn't show in the bill and we argued with the delivery guy and got the discount on the whole.
And we argued with the delivery guy if he was late, even if he was late by 1 min because that made him forget that he had to take the 50% discount coupon from us...we used the same coupon almost 3-4 times, and also did this with other 50% coupons we got. Sometimes the delivery guy gave us a coupon out of frustration.
At the end, these pizza hut guys had started getting wise to us and started arguing with us quite intensely.
We also used to play with their ordering system...we placed an order, and after 7 min placed another order for the same address, like when we were ordering pizzas for four of us. That invariably screwed their delivery and earned us a 50% discount coupon.
Guys, those were the days...
