are you saying you can just make up a coupon over the phone? eg, "i gotta coopawn fo' a large one toppin' fa six dollas"? i highly doubt that, i think most coupons have codes, and they ask for the coupon when you pay. you might get away with that once, if they already cooked your pizza but i doubt you could do that every time you order
rant on behalf of pizza delivery...
can't verify that other stores actually "record" it, versus, just testing the customer "can you give me the code" and inserting it into an adaptive predetermined coupon system (nearly impossible with the crappy programming interface).
however, this was never truly an issue for our area, since i delivered to one of the richest cities in the state, upper middle class region.
most people in our area ordering pizza didn't care what they paid for, so no one took advantage of this, realistically.
and last but not least, the interface on the computers do not track marketing coupons as well as large retailers.
no one on the inside cared enough to actually go out of their way to verify every single coupon, how fast paced the job was, and coupon codes are never redeemed upon delivery or at the register.
the convenience was to make sure customers got their orders processed quickly over the phone as to move onto the next customer.
of all the times i've delivered to dozens of hundreds of customers, no single customer has ever, not once, disclosed a coupon with credit card payments or cash/check or even asked if we needed a proof copy of any coupon(s).
if it's snowing, don't b!tch about the pizza being late. guess some people in minnesota don't drive enough in the snow to realize if they're dumb enough to "always" expect on time deliveries during a snowstorm, every single driver should drive fast in the tundra and risk their lives entirely for one customer (lol), which essentially is what drivers are doing in the winters.
fvck pizza hut, did the math with ratio to profit-income to car maintenance and repairs. it's a scam.
was a part time job for the hell of it, and it was the easiest job ever, except i didn't have night vision goggles (white snow reflection made it easier to navigate in the dark believe it or not). had an awesome car with an awesome after market sound system, 95% never applied the logo-topper on my vehicle (cop magnet; "here's someone we can fvck with..."), and almost got into a car accident only once (worst conditions; 0 degree unsinkable icy roads).
but i could be doing in-building remote access at a software deployment site for $18 an hour, 20 hours a week, installing VMware and deploying software with the press of a button, and still make more money than a driver doing 40 hours on minimum wage + tips, 'cuz all their money will someday go back into their vehicle; transmission ($500+), tires ($400), oil (25x1.5 months), gas (+5 gallons/day on economy car), etc.
$18 x 20hrs = 360/week
$360 x 4weeks = 1440/month
$1440 x 12months = 17,280
$17,280 x .83gov = 14342.4 average after taxes
roughly, 14K cash. won't make you rich, but it's better than bein' someone's delivery-b!tch.
