A pizza joint located near Stanford University is used to getting odd requests from college students attending raucous parties.
But this party turned out to be different. Very different.
Pizza My Heart received an online delivery order for two large pizzas. In the request field, the customer had entered, “Send us your cutest delivery boy. Tell me I’m pret,” which the restaurant assumed meant “pretty” but the online form had cut off the last part of the message.
The male pizza employee expected to encounter a group of college girls when he made the delivery. Instead, he found a house decorated for a birthday, but only one woman at home, according to Fox News.
The woman told the delivery driver that she had thrown herself a birthday party but no one else came.
She invited the driver in for cake. Hesitantly, he accepted.
The driver reports that he stayed with the woman for about an hour, and they talked and laughed the whole time.
Before he left, he hugged the woman and told her she was pretty.
Good deeds sometimes are punished, as the employee received a written warning from his manager for taking so long on the delivery order.
The employee, who has not been identified, says the time spent on the unusual birthday request was well worth it.
