Free pizza!

We’re close upon a deadline which means long evenings in the office.  Tonight we wanted pizza, but it was my new colleague’s first time at Lambarellis, the excellent local Italian deli, so I popped down the road to pick up a pizza leaflet listing what they had.

Shock, horror, they had no leaflets!  I had to borrow their laminated shop copy to show H the range of pizzas.  Then I noticed the shop copy was in red and black, and our printing machine can automatically take red-and-black originals and reproduce them in two colours.  This was a feature of the machine I hadn’t yet tested, so the pizza shop leaflet went on the printer, and when I went back 40 minutes later to collect our orders, I took 60 two-colour copies of their leaflet with me to tide them over til their own came back from the printer.

They were really chuffed.  Which was nice.  And they let us have the pizza for free. Not bad for a few minutes work.
Mind you, we are very frequent customers at Lambarellis.  Then again, that’s because they’re so good.  Huge range of sandwiches, pizzas, salads, jackets, panini, booze.
