Several years ago, I delivered pizzas, first for Pizza Hut and later for Domino's. Anyone who has done this for an extended period of time will have tons of stories to tell. This blog series will be a combination of my own stories and those of former coworkers.

I'uh Su'ins
This particular year, the basketball team at the local community college held some of the rudest customers Pizza Hut had when they would order deliveries to the college apartments. Over time, we would get to know them and learn to get on their good sides to make transactions smooth (and even get the rare tip).

One night, I was between runs and took a phone call. Since I was familiar with this individual from past orders, I could speak his dialect of food ordering. The conversation went like this:

Me: Thank you for calling Pizza Hut. Will this be for delivery or for carry out?
Unknown Customer: I'ah su'ins.
Me: (Number shows on caller ID.) Is this TJ?
TJ: Yeh.
Me: An order of wings for delivery?
TJ: Yeh.
Me: Extra ranch?
TJ: Yeh.
Me: Paying with cash?
TJ: Yeh.
Me: Okay, the total is $9.16, and the order will be to you in about 30 minutes.
TJ A'igh'.
