Pizza order 373
Rain rain go away
don’t come
Till dominos learn some hygiene sense
Or till the flies learn not to make us ill
without our will…
Or till the pizza guy keep the table clean
To lee me sit with ma gal,
And enjoy a pizza meal
Pizza delivery experts, they boast themselves indeed true very true, but I guess they should rename themselves to “illness delivery experts”.
It was June 11, 20011 I decided to go for a nice warm cheese filled pizza and then take a walk home in rain. It was a lovely idea. But I never knew that would chance what I feel about the pizza shop dominos round the corner.
It was around 10.0 pm I reached dominos it seemed to be a nice and cozy place since I was enjoyed pizza from the very first day I came to Goregaon. I still have the memory of my first pizza in Goregaon Dominos, but has been over written now.
Well I reached Dominos, it had same tables, same AC, same light bulb , same pizza guys who behave differently on every visit, as if they are doing us a favour forgetting that we do the a favour by visiting them. Any way that has never discouraged me to stop going there.
Only thing I noticed that has changed was a blue coloured plastic sheet covering the open space where we use to sit and enjoy open air, watched the traffic on the road next to us start directly above us and enjoy natural breeze not because we liked it because Ac said to me I am out of order please bear with me…so was I.
Coming to the incident on that fateful day, I had ordered the cheese bust pizza yummuuyyyy with a coke and that too with a discount coupon, noting could be more exciting than to get discount. Finising order we were handed over a bill numbering 373.
Having finished ordering we tried to make us comfortable out side the enclosed space with that non working AC, under the blue apron. I missed the sky, other thing that was different was I could hear rain splashing down on the road and the apron , which I had not heard while I was ordering my pizza, and AC was hanging on the wall crucified like Jesus Christ. Sorry dude. Talk to your owner.
The table we placed ourselves was one of 6 that had enjoyed serving us many times over the period of 2 years. I don’t remember it was his which turn. Never mind… I was happy to see that none of the table was empty. It was either occupied by humans or by files with their mum, daddies, kiddos, girl friends, uncle, aunts, … sorry I couldn’t differentiate their age by looking that them nor did I any intention to ask. I wished they could have left my table as soon I occupied it.
I had my patience for long 10 minutes, they were unrelenting enjoying, it seemed that they were followers of Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare and had ended their fast and had ordered pizza to break fast. Sorry guys go on… five more minutes to go for my pizza.
It was enough, Hey guys why don’t you go now, it my turn, now enough is enough, Hey Man please would u ask these guys to leave I said to one of the dominos guys, he nodded his head as if I had asked him to do a crime.
Any way another 5 minutes passed, other tables surrendered by humans, were taken over by the flies. We humans were reduced to minority. I feel dominos can have scheme to book the entire shop for their birthday, anniversary parties, that would earn fortunes.
Suddenly a fly past my nose, saying these dominos guys are corrupt like government officers and politician, and they have been bribed to let us have uninterrupted fun. It was a challenge, I cried for justice, which I would say was a behavior against a civilized society. But I couldn’t help. Sorry Domino Dude.
Finally a guy came to pick up the trash lying on the table, reluctantly he removed it, but couldn’t dare to wipe the sticky, cheese, ketchup off the table, hah!! I forgot he has been bribed.
Next guy came with pizza , coke and paper napkins, I asked for more paper napkins to cover corner of the table, where the flies were hovering with intention to hover munch longer. But I had decided to fight for my right to privacy.
Hot pizza box, has made stomach jump, and it was like a trophy after a ordeal. Well box was opened oregano , chili flakes were sprinkled, and Hey!!!!! where is the ketchup………I again shed my civilized personality, the pizza guy replied,.. sorry no ketchup, we don’t have it in stock now… oh!! This confirms that they have been bribed and ketchup has been black marketed for these flies.
Anyway finally the first piece of the pizza was torn apart and first drop of cheese trickled out, It seemed I can enjoy little cheese in cheese bust pizza as the recession is finally over from India and dominos in particular.
While we were having our pizza , I realized that not all files are uninvited, quite few of them work here , they have been employed by this dominos branch. They were employed to taste the each pizza dough bolls brought in by the dominos guys .Just as souvenirs I had to click the pictures of flies at work. It shows how smallest of species can help so called superior humane race, and let these guys serve mankind with delicious pizza.
Ah ha!!! There is the secret of their success. Other pizza chain shall learn this trade secret and improve their platter. I guess wiki leaks would like to leak this trade secrets with photos was well. I have posted here on my blog for them.
Having finished clicking pictures I left home walking home in rain. It was memorable day.. thanks guys. We humans own u.
