EXCUSE ME?!?!?!
Today, I had a MAJOR craving for Jimmy John's. That's right, I needed a little Freaky Fast in my life. There is a whole back story to this story, so I kinda have to start there. Well first off, it was snowing today so I had decided that I was going to NOT shower ( don't judge, I know you all do it too) and I WAS NOT going to get out of my pj's. I had a court transcript to do ( super boring other than the fact that this gal was high on Xanax and driving) And when this craving hit, it came full force!!!!! I figured ordering in was the best idea because I could still get my work done while I waited for food to get to me. I was so excited so I gave them a ring and asked to place an order for delivery. Here is our discussion:
Man: Thank you for calling Jimmy Johns ( excuse me what's your name and why aren't you saying Freaky Fast subs?!)
Me: I'd like to place an order for delivery.
Man: Can I get your name?
Me: Yeah it's Traci
Man: ( Who's name I STILL don't know) Okay and where do you live?
Me: Uh, Founders Village.
Man: Okay, Founders Village right? Ohhhhhhh.... We actually don't deliver there.
Me: Danggit.
Man: Yeah, but do you want to place an order for pick up?
Me: No thanks, if I am going to drive down there I will just eat it there.
Man: Okay, hope to see you soon.
Me: Uh-huh, bye.
For one..... I DO NOT live that far away from our local store. Maybe two miles ( my mother seems to think it's farther but it's really not, but I shall Google it for entertainment purposes... one moment please.) Alright so Google Maps says it's 5.8 miles, I was wrong... BUT STILL... WHY IN HEAVENS NAME do we have such small delivery radiuses?! I mean at least the Chinese food places give you 15 miles or even 20 if it's a good place. But one with a less than 5 mile radius. Am I the only one who sees this as an issue?? I mean I wanted Jimmy Johns, the guy didn't know how much I was gunna order, and trust me it would have been plenty to justify the 5 mile drive to bring it to me. But no, they turned me down. They lost my business.
For those of you thinking well why didn't you just get your lazy ass up and drive there yourself?! I will tell you why, because I was bothered by the fact they don't deliver to my area. I don't live terribly far away and then remember how I mentioned that I didn't shower and was still in my pjs?? Okay and PLUS I have a two year old. Do you know how hard it is to get them bundled up to go anywhere. it takes a freaking Army to get a task like that completed. Now, also, I can understand having a small radius if it was a company who delivered by bike ( and I did have this conversation with a friend) that totally makes sense, who wants to ride more than a mile on their bike to deliver food? NOT I!!! So I would not ask anyone else to do such things. But we have cars now people!
So here is what I have to say to Mr. Jimmy Johns. YOU CAN STILL BE FREAKY FAST IF YOUR DELIVERY ZONE IS LARGER THAN 5 MILES. IT'S CALLED A MOTHER EFFIN' GAS PEDAL! Get on that shit, this is the 21st century and it ain't no rocket science. I'm taking my business to Jersey Mike's, even though I know I live outside their delivery radius.
