Best way to fix this is for the pizza companies to charge for the pizza before delivery. He would soon get bored of paying good money to send a pizza to someone else’s house at his own expense.
No kidding. Print a “never deliver to this address” card and give it to all the local pizza joints, and it wouldn’t take more than a month or two for all the places to accept and learn to help the poor dude.
I thought caller ID ended prank phone calls for all time. Guess not. Maybe I will call up a tobacco store later today and ask them if they have Sir Walter Raleigh in a can.
I think this story is fake. He says he always refuses the orders and has never paid, but is shown with a stack of delivery receipts? And the article mentions the paper as being “completely legitimate”? Something’s funny here. Anyway, it’s got us thinking and talking small talk, so what the heck. I’ll look up the name of the paper.
Belgium is influential, but it’s not a big country. Seems like this man could make a few appearances on a few morning shows and make it public knowledge that he wants no more deliveries.
This would be a good place for investigative journalism, if people still do much of that these days. Apparently the police can’t be bothered. Too busy arresting anyone who posts an anti Muslim remark on Facebook or Twitter.
They’re stupid is why. If you’re that stupid for nine years, you deserve no sympathy.
But with the world getting unkinder by the day (thinking that "Love thy Neighbor" is not good; throwing out Judeo-Christian values), folks are going to have to deal with this at all levels more and more.
What I would do it to keep a database of phone numbers, phone ID logs, addresses on a backed up computer. Then flags the phone numbers or addresses abused.
When the order comes in and is entered on the computer it flashes in BIG Letters PAY IN ADVANCE ONLY when it hits the abused number or address.
The order taker then explains to the customer "We will need your order to be paid in advance". Why asked why, to explain "This number/address has not paid in the past, so we require payment in advance at this time." If the customer demands delivery without payment (and they will), to forward the call to the manager or to give the manager's phone number and to be ready to hang up if the hint is not taken.
I bet he gets a lot of free pizzas though.
