    A genuinely heartwarming greentext. Probably fake and gay, but heartwarming nonetheless.

      As a gay, it’s definitely gay. There’s secret text that only gays can read. I can’t tell you what it says or the ghost of Anderson Cooper will have me excommunicated from the gay Mafia, but it’s there.

      … I fear I’ve said too much already.

        Are you people able to become ghosts even while you’re alive? How do I learn this power??

        While reading this text I definitely read some text. How do I know if that was the gay text or just a regular text?

        Meh, pretty low on scale of weirdness. Pizza employees remember regulars well. Friends of mine are vegetarian and also have some specific exclusions because they don’t like an ingredient. Each time she calls in now, when they hear her voice they immediately ask “vegetarian pizza with xx, without yyy, zzz, medium?” And all she says is “yup”, confirms the address and it’s ordered. Having a “quirky” guy call in with requests like these makes for a cool story you tell your new coworkers, a break in a busy day (“captain america called!”) etc. At the end of the day you’re not forced “to play the game” after all, you can just deliver and not interact.

          Yep, worked pizza delivery throughout college. There are some people who just become part of the schedule. At my place we would do stuff like keep a clean pizza slicer and paddle ready to keep things halal for the Muslim couple who ordered every Thursday night.

          We had a set up with a shut in that predated anyone’s employment at the store. Every Friday as soon as we opened we would drop off 2 cheese pizzas at the porch and take the money left in the mail box. Never met the person, but they had a pretty sweet deal because they still only paid the price from like 6 years before because no one could ever get a hold of them. They just became kinda a store tradition.

          We also had a couple of older regulars that we would literally call and check on if we hadn’t heard from them in a while. This was nearly 20 years ago in a small college town, so things may be different now.

        it’s so weird to me that people get so much out of living in the country they were born in. I’ve lived in 5 countries, it’s not that different.

      Nobody is forcing these people to take on the challenges. And clearly they enjoyed them enough to personally write a get well card.

          Yeah there is no difference between a delivery guy who at least has a job and a choice vs a homeless guy with literally no choice if it comes down to survival. Its not that hard to draw a long when you are not a complete dumbass

          Then they’re busking, people have made a living doing that since at least medieval times.

          Fact is, working for your money is effective even if you’re begging. People are more likely to toss a dollar to a guy with a guitar or some other gimmick than they will to somebody just sitting there with a sign. Is it cruel, or gross? Maybe, yeah, a little bit. Extra sucks for the disabled homeless, I do understand that. But being a street performer is a legitimate job in some places. People will pay money for entertainment whether you’re on TV or on the corner of 5th and MLK. If a homeless person wants to dance for a dollar I say let them. Begging for spare change is legitimately a competitive business. That can make the difference between getting food and a haircut or not.

            So… That was basically my point. They’re assholes. Tip or don’t. Be it a beggar or whomever. Just because the majority acts like that, doesn’t make it less asshole-y 😉

        Dunno if u know what those people make? I wouldn’t even wanna wake up for that salary, of course they do your stupid things to double the hourly salary. They already deliver you your fucking food. I tip 50 bucks and that’s it. I don’t need their get-well-cards. It’s a try to equalize things. A true thank-you that they’re doing that shitty work so i don’t have to.

      The local pizza delivery girl friended me on FB. I got excited because I thought she was cute and into me. Then I learned she’s super right-wing and weird (in a bad way.). She became WAY less cute to me after that.

      We also remember the regulars who don’t tip, and we control how long your order takes, if we make a stop at a gas station (or home, or the weedman’s) before or after we drop off, if your soda “got a little shook up” because we “had to slam on the breaks,” and not only that but even less scrupulous drivers have say 10-15min alone with your order. Just a word of warning for those I’ve just described. Might want to tip or vary your stores up…
