Mr.Ruby and I made an executive decision this evening to have pizza for tea and while waiting in the shop for our order I suddenly remembered a post from a forum (can't remember which one) about using pizza boxes to safely and flatly store fabric pieces and blocks for a quilt.
So I'm sitting there thinking......do I ask for boxes, dare I ask........will I look like a dill......but do I ask anyway......do I care if they think I'm a nut.......does it matter if they say no......I'll just never go back there again, I'll buy my pizzas elsewhere that will probly give me hundreds of boxes for nothing........yeah that'll teach them for not letting me have some boxes.......what the heck has happened to good customer service these days......it's not like I'm asking for a free pizza is it.......man, they're taking forever to cook my pizzas.......cripes........did I turn the iron off before I drove down here.......what about the heater.....did I leave that on........was it well away from the curtains.....blimey these pizzas are taking forever....nah, won't ask for any boxes, I don't like the colour of them...bleuh.....cripes these chairs in the waiting area are hard on your butt........nothing wrong with storing my fabric and blocks in plastic bags anyway.......dumb idea to use pizza boxes for that.......what if I ask for some boxes and they laugh at me....or the other customers snigger.....
And then my number was called and I bolted out of my ruminations and strode to the counter, paid for the pizzas, took a big breath and asked.............Do you think I could buy 6 of your boxes in assorted sizes?
And you know what the bloke behind the counter said?
"Sure! For storing stuff are they? Would you like them flat or already folded?"
What a lovely bloke, what a lovely shop, what lovely pizzas they make and my oh my don't I just LOVE the colour of the boxes!!!! Yeah, and on reflection, the chairs aren't too hard on my butt either!
