This is somethin which I've always been wantin to pen down!!!! I remember those days when pizzas were introduced, we all used to hope that the pizza delivery wouldn't happen reach us in 30 mins, so that we could have the pizza for FREE!!! But very rarely have I seen or heard of anyone who was lucky to get the FREE pizza!!!
But hell, my contention here is somethin very different!!! How many of us know that if the pizza is not delivered, itz not the company which bears the cost of it, but the poor guy who tried deliverin the pizza within 30 mins would be debited from his salary???? News huh??? Well now your pizza isn't tasty as the FREE one huh????
Well then face this!!! Given the drivin/ridin conditions that are prevalent in our country do we realize that the guy actually risks his LIFE deliverin the pizza to our doorstep??? Not sure if you have noticed how the guy recklessly rides on the roads, just to ensure that we get the pizza in 30 minsflat, and of course hot enough for us to relish the delicious pizza????
My question is, is it OK for us to expect the guy to put his life on the line so that we get our pizza within 30 mins or even hopin that he would be late so that we get it free????? Whose responsibility is it end of the day to curb this practice??? I definitely would die of guilt!!! I rather walk into one Pizza outlet and relish if I'm soo keen or let them know that I'm good as long as they deliver the pizza and definitely don't want the guy to risk is life in ensurin that he gets the pizza to me in 30 mins!!!
Definitely, the pizza company is tryin to earn brownie points with its customers and definitely we as consumers have set our expectations and thatz the only reason why we see these kinds of inhumane offers!!!! I know I can't stop you folks from eating one but definitely it would be appreciated if you could just let them know that you are OK with the idea of pizza bein late!!! Definitely no one would want to eat a pizza when we put some one's life at STAKE!!!!

Well... i wanted 2 make a movie on this topic... 3yrs back... n cudnt coz of some pressure from pizza folks n also lack of funds... coz it was based on a real life story n also slightly documentry type.... See More
