That would be the coolest pizza delivery ever.

If anyone is ever wearing an Evil Dead T-Shirt or a Duke Nukem thing when I deliver I swear I'm going to say 'I'm here to kick ass and deliver pizza, and I'm all out of kick ass."

As long as you don't kick the pizza, or deliver ass.

Evil dead? are you sure you don't mean a "They Live" T-shirt?

Wait.... I kinda remember Ash saying that in evil dead. Nevermind.

The pizza place I used to work for, we ran out of large dough once. Luckily, the small was exactly half the large, so we just gave them two smalls. And no, it wasn't my job to order the dough. It was the guy that I covered for and saved his ass on many occasions.

Here's a weird thought, has anyone been given a Diet Soda because the regular Soda had run out or vice versa?

I've been to Arbys when they ran out of beef, & Subway when they ran out of bread.

I once ordered two cheeseburgers from McDonalds. Get home, and they put ketchup, mustard, cheese, and onions on the bun, but no burger. I go back, and the dumbass made the entire line of burgers that way.

Wait, what kind of ass are we talking about here? I mean, ass might be good, depending on whose ass it is.

Yeah, I've been to a Subway that ran out of bread too. How does that happen?

At my school dorm, the vending machines were always out of diet sodas.

But Coca Cola? Always available.

True story.

I had to get a milkshake with my value meal one time because the McDonalds was out of soda completely. They didn't get a shipment of their syrup or something so they had to give milkshakes or coffee.

After a long holiday or weekend, supplies tend to run thin at Restaurants. If it's an unusually busy weekend or if a shipment gets delayed, it's not that hard to run out of stuff. It's not like they have a year's supply in the back, you try to order enough to get your through the time between deliveries to prevent waste.

I worked at Wendy's for a while. We often ran out of Frosty's on weekend's because our delivery days meant an extra day on the weekend without any shipments.

Once, on Christmas Eve, we ran out of meat. We were supposed to close at 2, but the line backed up and our manager wouldn't let us turn anyone away as long as there were customers until we literally ran out of food, which happened about 8 or so.

At least they didn't like make you wait on them going to get more boxes.

At a burger joint I worked at, we had to wait once because we ran out of onions. I had to chop them up when the manager came back from Wal-Mart with a couple of onions. The air was so thick with onion gas when I was done that I had to hide in the freezer to regain my composure.

You're not the guy from the old Letterman skit where we worked at McDonadl's are you?

Letterman was running the drive-thru, one guy pulls up tries to order. Letterman says they're out of onions and would he mind going to the store and getting them some? The guy actually did it!!

That exact thing happened to me. Unfortunately, I couldn't just go back, but I called and they took my name and number and next time I went in, they comped my entire meal.

I had a funny one a few months ago. Ordered 2 chicken sandwiches from the drive-thru at Burger King. I got home and noticed on the ticket that it said "2 Big Fish Sandwiches" and I immediately start to scream in anger. I take them out saying "Well.....maybe they're Tendercris.....no it's f***ing fish!"

Head back to Burger King, go inside and say "Hi, I just ordered 2 chicken sandwiches from your drive-thru and these are fish sandwiches." "Oh, I'm sorry, I'll get them right out to you."

I hear her talk to the manager and the manager says "I need 2 original chicken sandwiches up right now."

10 minutes passes....

5 more minutes pass....

I hear the manager say "Where's those 2 chicken sandwiches?" and the guy making them goes "They went out in the drive-thru order like they were supposed to." and the manager goes "No....I needed two that WEREN'T on the board."

5 more minutes pass....

A woman walks up to the counter with a wrapper and says "Um, excuse me. I ordered a chicken sandwich specifically because there's no tomatoes on that and there's tomatoes on this....my husband is allergic to tomatoes."

The manager turns and says "I need THREE chicken sandwiches now that AREN'T on the board"

2 minutes later....

The manager "NO! STOP PUTTING TOMATOES ON THOSE CHICKEN SANDWICHES!" and the kid says "But it says 'Chicken Sandwich plus tomatoes' right there" and she says "No...I need 3 regular ones that aren't on the board. Now throw that one away and make them again."

I finally get my 2 chicken sandwiches after literally a half hour waiting. I go home, I eat the first one. I open the 2nd one......and there's tomatoes on it.

I was really half tempted to call them up and say "Oh by the way, I was the one who got the chicken sandwich with tomatoes on it. Just thought you should know."

When I first moved out of my parents house, our place was like a flophouse. We ended up at one time with like 6 guys living there. We all worked different hours and had different habits, so we rarely ran into each other.

All being single we ordered pizza all the time.

One night we ordered up Dominoes, like 2 large pepperoni. After like an hour and half, we got curious as to where the pizza was. So we called them.

"We thought it was a joke order."
"2 pizzas? Besides that between myself and my roomates you're here like 6 nights a week, why would it be a joke this time??!"

The pizza finally came, I think we got a $5 off coupon......for next time, of course.

Yeah, but this wasn't a busy weekend or holiday or anything. This was a Wednesday or something.

Maybe they missed a shipment? Maybe rats got in and ate all the bread? Maybe their ovens failed ?

Crap happens at every job, things you can't control (and things you can). Sometimes that means you run out of stuff you wouldn't. I think anyone that's worked in the food service industry for any meaningful length of time has run out of stuff at their restaurant.

Same exact thing for me. In August or something.

One time our KFC ran out of chicken. No f'ing joke, the only chicken they were serving was nuggets. No thighs, no drumsticks, no wings. All you could buy that day was nuggets and a side.

This one has happened to me a number of times actually.

Subway running out of bread as well. But that was an employees fault. She didn't bake it because no one told her too and she wasn't doin no work she doesnt has to do. Or so she said. Then I think she got her ass fired.
