Reflecting on this and that

Reflecting on this and that

Let me tell you a little story of me yesterday and how it inspired this post

Yesterday we ordered Pizza for delivery from a place we have used many times before, we ordered our usual pizzas, and I made a point of at least twice saying no tomato sauce on either.
Well a while later they were delivered and I was ready to dive in as I was quite hungry and I opened both pizzas only to find they both had tomato sauce, now for my wife that wasn't an issue but for me it was as I am allergic to tomatoes and if I have them I come out in a rash.

So I called the place, not to make a fuss but just to point out they had got our order wrong and the guy who answered the phone, first told me I never said no Sauce, and then secondly that I always order with no sauce and he thought it odd I didn't today and had a real snarky attitude, well as steam was about to come out of my ears and I was feeling pretty annoyed by this stage I just said sorry I can deal with your nasty attitude and hang up on him as I knew I would loose my cool if I didn't.
And I was fuming as I scraped the tomatoes sauce off my pizza slices, well two of them then I gave up ate one with the sauce and just ate the crusts of the rest of the pizza.

MY wife said to me a little later WOW that shows how run down and frustrated I must be feeling letting that get to me so bad as I am generally such a laid back guy.

And i laughed and said yes and let it go.

Well I woke up this morning and no surprise I had a bit of a itchy rash although not to bad, and it got me thinking or reflecting on how I let it get to me, gave myself a pep talk and then came onto my PC and thought why not find some shots with reflections for todays post and here they are

A shot looking at Palmers Island here in New Bedford

Beautiful photos, JJ, I love the first one most 😀

I am not allergic to anything, but I can imagine the feelings you have had when you saw the tomato sauce.
My niece is allergic to some food including some tasty things. Sometimes she just doesn't care and eats these things although she knows that afterwards she will feel bad and even has to take pills 😉

Reflections photography each a feast for the eyes, not so much that pizza I would have been a lot more abrupt especially if you have used them regularly.

Tomato is a strange one, I know folk with peanuts and seafood. Why make oneself uncomfortable if you can avoid it.

Sometimes we just lose it on some of the simplest things. Nice to have a good chat with yourself and reflect. Sorry about the pizza though.

And i laughed and said yes and let it go.

I am happy to read that you ended the situation with a laugh, and that nothing serious not happened after you ate one pizza slice with the tomato sauce. And I am glad that I do not have any allergies at all. I like tomato and every vegetable.

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Ah yes nothing like a virtual trip to the water to wash away the negative experience of someone having a tough time doing their job.

We do marketing for a pizza place that was purchased from someone who let service and quality slide previously. We had to communicate that it was under all new ownership with a passion on becoming the best. When business ramps up, especially in a commodity with competition, a call back in is an opportunity to lock in a customer with good service. It is a call for help that you can simply make better in one fell swoop and should! They completely dropped the ball on this and it is a shame. They will later blame their business problems on staff shortages or some shit when they blew it themselves likely with other customers as well.

Once you find the place that cares for you properly, you will be inspired to post pizza pics maybe!

We do generally really like the pizzas from there so I am debating giving them anther chance and stating clearly and multiple times no sauce LOL or trying another local one that I checked out online and has godo reviewsd

Yeah you make a good point about the importance of customer service

Beautiful reflections. I hope they provided the therapy you needed 😉 in my house the conversation would be more like

WOW that shows how run down and frustrated

you are that you didn't jump in the car and go give that guy a piece of your mind 😳 But seriously I try hard to stay mellow but I do have a temper and short fuse if I'm not careful and mindful of my actions. Hope you are having a great day today!

I think we all get that way from time to time. I've found myself getting frustrated while driving quite a bit lately. I get all worked up, then I think about it and start chuckling to myself. Why am I letting it bug me so much. I don't know that person, they aren't going to change. May as well just do me. It doesn't make it any less annoying though! Beautiful shots as always!

I can imagine how you must have felt! Sometimes we get to a point where we just have to blow off steam.

I'm glad the rash wasn't too bad though.

And this all lead to some beautiful photos!
