Pizza Delivery-Computer Malfunction

Canada

Just my luck.. so I get lazy tonight and decide to order out for dinner. Get a pizza deal from Greco one of the only places in my area with Debit at the door. Pizza guy gets here, we try three times machine comes up declined Comm error. Wasn't too much of a big deal, pizza guy gets me to fill out a form swearing I will go into town within fivedays to pay the bill. Not too much of a big deal, just an inconvience. Just wondering if anyone has ever had this happen to them? I never had this problem in my hometown, which was a big city. Yet, I'm pretty sure if it did, they wouldn't just give the order on good faith.

Nope they want the money when they bring the pizza and if you don't have it ready they will take the pizza back.

I know and that's the way it was where I used to live. It's so sad that faith in people dwindles in big places. I will never live in a big place again. The lifestyle and enviorment is so different, and they are my kind of people. Honest and Trustworthy.

I have had this happĂȘn a few times before. It was just the internet not connecting. Yes, smaller towns we tend to be more honest.

Exactly. I'm sure thats what it was here as we live in the middle of nowhere basically.

@indiandevil I live in the middle of no where . We get it sometimes at work just error of the system. Most cases restarting the system works. But sometimes its some kind of outage.

I haven't had that happen, but living in a small town I think they would do similar. Enjoy your dinner!

Ive had my card declined but not saying comm error. That is too bad. Did othet cards have the same error coming up? Glad they let you keep the pizza anyway!

I only had one card and the pizza guy said that "comm error" meant it was having trouble connecting to internet.

We don't have that here. I usually order pizza online and pay online too.

Next time that's probably what I'm going to have to do.
