Does the pizza delivery guy negotiate?

boards of FL wrote:You order a pizza and pay for it online.  A half hour later, the pizza delivery guy shows up.  He hands you your order and a credit card slip for you to sign and tip; however, you're suddenly thirsty.  You demand that the pizza delivery guy give you a 2 liter drink or else you're not going to proceed.  He obviously declines.  You then ask him to negotiate.  Perhaps he should give you a 20 oz  drink?  He still refuses.  You find this refusal to negotiate ridiculous, and you insist that he is presenting you with an "all or nothing" proposition.  You are now at an em passe.

Who is at fault here?  Is this the fault of the pizza guy, and his unwillingness to negotiate?  Are you being a douche bag for demanding a drink?

This is an easy answer. You're being a douche bag. I really kinda feel sorry for these delivery drivers, they have to put up with a lot of bullshit from a lot of idiots.

I highly doubt it's him... he's most likely going to draw some political analogy.

Then he's still a douche bag for attempting to use a lowly pizza delivery guy for a political analogy??  Damn political hacks, always got to zap the fun out of everything.

Well, pizza delivery people could probably do a better job negotiating than Congress does.

That's not saying much.  My 7 yr old little Impress can negotiate better than congress.

Let me clarify that you are not asking to purchase a drink.  You are demanding that he give you a drink in exchange for paying for the order that he brought to you.  You are essentially under the impression that you deserve something in exchange for simply doing your job of paying the pizza delivery guy.  You are refusing to pay for your order unless he gives you a drink.

Why?  I want to complete the order.  The pizza guy wants to complete the order.  We all want to complete the order and just move on.  In order to accomplish this, I am willing to sit down and negotiate over what type of drink the pizza guy will give me.  He is the one who refuses negotiate over what type of concession he will give me.  How does that make me the douchebag?

But I'm willing to pay for my delivery in exchange for the drink.  Granted, I'm not actually paying for the drink, but I am willing to do something (pay for the rest of my order), in exchange for the drink.  

Hell, I have even given the pizza delivery guy several proposals.  He refused on the 2 liter, so I submitted a proposal for a 20 oz:

"I will agree to sign the credit card slip if you include 1 20oz drink with my order."

He rejected that.

"I will agree to sign the credit card slip if you give me a free bottled water."

Ge rejected that.

I even abandoned the drink idea all together and just tried to get any concession, in good faith, so that we could simply move on....

"I will agree to sign the credit card slip if you return to the shop and add free pepperoni to my order"

But, alas, he rejected that as well.

Clearly I am the one who is serious about solving this debacle, aren't I?  Isn't this guy showing somewhat of a lack of leadership here?  He is a professional pizza delivery guy.  Why can't he lead me to a resolution that we all agree on so that we can each resume our lives?

If only congressional republicans possessed this logic.
