to have a rant about this takeaway service?

[JambalayaCodfishDIE]

Regular takeaway, ordered our usual at about 5pm.

At 5.45pm I got a call on my mobile, a rude man demanded to know why I wasnt answering the door at ***? I said that as it wasnt our address, I couldnt - I didnt live there!

At 6pm our takeaway arrived - a little chilly having been on a journey, and missing a portion of garlic bread. When I raised this with the driver, he bluntly said "Call the shop".

So I do - This is where it gets wierd.

An hour passes and our garlic bread hasnt arrived. I call again, and the polite young girl re-assures me its on its way.

Twenty minutes later, I get another phone call, its the shop owner, checking we got our garlic bread. I say no, not yet.

He goes on to say that the driver dropped it off with the lady with the dog, as she was getting out of he car??!?!

Having explained that we have neither a dog, nor a car, the owner says he will bring the garlic bread himself.

Ten minutes later, original driver and owner arrive - with garlic bread (Yay!)

Driver goes on a MEGA rant about how he gave ME the garlic bread, when I got out of the car, and that I had a big dog. He was adamant that we'd already had the garlic bread, and we were scamming them (out of garlic bread?!)

Then he stropped back to his car, muttering, leaving me and the owner on the doorstep, with me repeating that we dont have a car, or a dog.

Owner shrugs that he's sorry, and gets back in the car.

I dont even want the garlic bread now. I want wine, but im pregnant. :(

wierd

can't say it's a good business model...

I take it that's the last time you use your 'regular' takeaway?

I think I'm mostly intrigued as to whos got my garlic bread.

Bizarre - we had the great missing chicken balls fiasco last night.

Suffice to say when the lady on the phone said she sent us a bottle of lemonade instead, I rather thought my husband was going to implode, maybe explode, and possibly tell her to repartriate her self to Hong Kong.

We be all doomed, I tell ye, we be all doomed . . .

I know Andrew, whats the world coming to, eh?

I've had problems similar to this, do they really get scammed out of food to make them like this though?

What about the missing ham and pineapple from the ham and pineapple pizza.

Slightly worried now, that I have a look of 'garlic bread scammer' about me....

Your garlic bread will be with the woman at the first address he tried to deliver at. She didn't answer the door because she was in her car with her dog. The driver wasn't in the queue when they handed out brain cells was he.

Somewhere there's a very confused woman with a dog wondering why, why, some strange bloke gave her garlic bread.

You don't live round the corner from me do you? Three times in the last month, we've had pizza delivered to our door. Great! Except we never ordered any pizza! Don't know if the order included garlic bread though.

That's the kind of dog walking I'd like to do...when strange blokes hand me free garlic bread to munch while I walk

New Years Eve last year, our local Chinese didn't bring Chips we had ordered with the meal (for DS, who doesn't like Chinese, but was out voted on the dinner choice), then tried to charge a second delivery charge for bringing them when they finally arrived an hour later, I told them to stick the chips and a drunken argument debate on the doorstep started...twas only when DS offered to pay for them himself that I remembered he still hadn't had anything to eat .

I paid for the chips AND the delivery...but have never used that Chinese since mostly because I'm so embarassed about slightly tipsily arguing on the doorstep over £1
