GREENWICH PIZZA SUCKS!!! HERE’S ONE SECRET THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW…
I was doing the usual routine which was driving everyday to work. All of a sudden here comes this cocky Greenwich Pizza motorcycle delivery guy who overtook my car then suddenly tried to cut me off in front. We almost crashed into one another. It’s a good thing he and I immediately stopped.
Then this motorcycle delivery guy did something idiotic: he was still gassed up but he let go of his handbreak. Needless to say, he crashed into my fender, almost somersaulted his motorcycle, and scattered all the pizza boxes he was supposed to deliver. The pizzas didn’t spill out of the box but considering the force of box fall, the pizzas inside were probably no longer visually appealing.
The first thing he did was call for support. His support, another motorcycle delivery guy, came over to finish the delivery. Suddenly, I felt bad for the buyers of those pizzas.
After the rendezvous, the first motorcycle delivery guy demanded that I pay for the pizza. I said to myself, “WTF?” I told him why should I pay for the pizza when they’re on their way to their shortchanged buyers? Also, why did it become my fault? It was this guy who crashed into me. He even had the nerve to move his motorcycle a little bit under my car so it would appear to the MMDA traffic enforcers that it was my fault.
I said to myself, “Okay, lets stay calm. Even though this is an almost backwater country, there is still a slight chance that justice will be dealt. I’m not going to fall for this cheap trick.”
So the MMDA traffic enforcer arrived and checked the scene. The enforcer saw the skid marks that point to the motorcycle delivery guy as the one at fault. The motorcycle delivery guy and I exchanged some heated arguments. Then, like instinct, he reached for his cellular phone and called his manager. He argued that I talk to his manager. I agreed to talk to the manager coz it would somehow end the charade.
Guess what happened? The manager argued that I should pay for the pizza. I said to myself again, “WTF?” I told the manager why would I pay for pizza that wasn’t damaged and on its way to its buyer? Also he’s not in the position to discuss such things coz he wasn’t around when it happened. This manager is probably somewhere sitting around comfortably worrying about his sales. I later learned that this manager is not really an employee of Greenwich Pizza but is a third party company that deals with the delivery. I thought to myself why even food companies nowadays would hire mercenaries to do their dirty work.
The motorcycle delivery guy wasn’t planning on moving his motorcycle out of the way until his demands are met. This charade continued on to the police precinct where the MMDA traffic enforcer explained about the skid marks that clearly point to the motorcycle delivery guy as the culprit. Seeing that the case is cleared and my time has been wasted by this fool, I decided to tell the motorcycle delivery guy to let us just all go our separate ways and deal with our own damages.
The motorcycle delivery guy, being the bloodsucker that he is, continued on by saying I should pay for his lost time and supposedly “wounded” leg. Any intelligent person would conclude that I earn more money than he does. Therefore, I lose more money during the same amount of time wasted. Also, it was his fault why he’s supposedly “injured”.
In highly developed countries, even if you’re all covered with blood and lost a leg, if it’s your fault, you still pay for all the damages. Good thing for the motorcycle delivery guy that he’s in an almost backwater country. He’s in good hands coz he knows how to talk his way around.
Not to brag, but I’m highly educated and taught by my parents to be both courageous and wise so, basically, I shouldn’t tolerate this guy’s crap. This guy’s wicked and he wasted a lot of my time and patience. The police suggested to just give him some money to “get rid of him”. I didn’t want to but people were waiting for me at work so I agreed.
I decided to give him ₱300. You know what this motorcycle delivery guy said? He said what if he gets tetanus from his so-called “injuries”. He said I should give more. Deep down inside I was already strangling him to death. The wisdom of my parents were slowly slipping my mind. But wisdom was stronger that day so I finally gave him ₱500 instead. I thought, you know, this motorcycle delivery guy should be paying me instead.
I really felt bad that day because although I love my country, she can’t help me much that day because Philippine society has grown so wicked.
Greenwich Pizza would simply say it’s not their fault. That it’s the fault of their third-party company of mercenaries. Well, that would be typical of Philippine society… always blaming someone else for a responsibility that is ultimately yours to keep anyway. After that event, I never again purchased anything related to Jollibee Food Corp. – Jollibee, Chowking, Greenwich Pizza, etc.
Noticed I said “motorcycle” several times? I firmly believe that motorcycle drivers should exercise more discipline on the road and that stronger penalties should be given to erring motorcycle drivers.
99% of all the motorcycle drivers that I encountered in my lifetime never ever followed traffic rules compared to other vehicles at 50% only.
Except for police, athletes, and Harley Davidson collectors, I recommend that motorcycles should be totally banned in the Philippines. That thought is for the good of the country.
I love their Lasagna! Sorba! HAHA
I used to like their lasagna. Dunno if it’s still good now…
I miss the solo size ham & cheese we’d order before.
we just had a bad service experienced not only to your food but to your customer service as well. the said place we had this is at GF SM Manila, Arroceros, Manila. July 1,2010 16:17. i took pictures from our
take out lasagna, and a mallow capuccino, which was surprisingly different from your sample pictures/posters, and certainly questionable from what we ordered. one of the staff/crew/manager told us “wala ng big size” wherein we ordered and paid bigger size lasagna. we were expecting that there would be a refund from what she said “mamaya na lang” after showing her the receipt. but then as soon as we leave we did asked her again “so pano na po ito?” she answered “yung lalagyan/box lang yung small size, pero same yung laman”. we leave confused, and somehow expecting that she was telling the truth.
we sat down, as i opened the lasagna box and my capuccino, i am terrified from what i saw. the lasagna looks like a mess!, my swiss mallow capuccino doesn’t have any marsh mallow, not even one!, the cover of the cup don’t fit in that’s why your crew taped to hold the cover. where can i send the pictures i took so that your management could see?
i agree with jessica eugenio…talagang ang service ng greenwich ay hindi ok ..ibang iba ang pinapakita sa picture kaysa sa actual size ng food at napakabagal ng service.. needs more crew…attention management…
