Pizza problems
Within a short drive there are probably 8 maybe 10 pizza joints that offer take out. Our preference is one of the national chains.
I order online and go pick up. For several times it seemed that the order wasn't started until I arrived to pick up. I complained to corporate headquarters. I get a call a few days later from a corporate muckety muck. After she understood the complaint she was trying to credit me with a free pizza. I sort of declined and the conversation went like this.
M: I'm not trying to scam a free pizza.
Mm: What do you want then?
M: I want someone to kick rear end and take names.
Mm: I can certainly do that.
She certainly did because now my pizza s ready about when I arrive.

So you got the desired result. Why a Muckety muck? Sounds a bit disrespectful to me.

Hopefully your name wasn't passed on, I'd hate to think what extras you might receive in the topping.

How are you paying?
If you are paying on pick up, they might not start making it before you arrive in case it is a ghost order.
If it is pre paid, they should commence the order ASAP as they have the money up front.

Generally a Muckety muck is one of those that reside on Mahogany row in a corporation.
Actually I think that there is a management system that rewards the employees for walk in orders rather than on line orders. It's the mentality of 'You brought the order in rather than the order just came in from the Internet.'
As I've said over the years, "When employees are managed by numbers, the employees will manage the numbers."

We try to support the local companies rather than the big chains. Scandals here in Oz lately with Dominos underpaying employees, using dodgy accounting practices, and franchisees finding it impossible to actually make a dollar. If you buy from a local company it is simple - if they make a dollar they stay in business. If they don't make any money, they close. Sure, they charge a little more. But the pizza is much better (otherwise they don't make a dollar), and I mean muuuuuccccccchhhhhh better.

Local talent can exercise discretion too.
Many years ago a small shop in a D.C. suburb overcooked my pizza. OK by me, but the owner refused to let me pay for it. A major chain would likely want to start over, while I wait.
Yesterday (Tuesday) a local shop in Tallahassee had a one-day special: pizza pie for $3.14 to celebrate pi day.

If you did it would be a circular argument surely...

A bit obtuse but. . . .
I sent a "Happy pi Day" message to my sons. One responded with a smile emoji and the other responded with "Nerd".

Correct value of Pi
All the above numbers for Pi are incorrect. PI has a value of 3.141592653... And when rounded down to the numbers given in the above it should be 3.1415927
just saying...
Dilbert would be so proud of meregards,

In High School I did the math of 22 divided by 7 to arrive at Pi. It was close but not Pi. So I asked the teacher, a real math nerd type of bloke. It took him about 20 minutes to realize that he couldn't explain it.

It is actually the number you get when you divide the circumference of a circle by its diameter. No matter what the size of the circle, it is always the same answer, which has intrigured mathematicians. "Why is it so?"
Wiki does an interesting article on the history of this constant value. It is an interesting number, doesn't repeat itself anywhere, goes on forever in what appear to be a totally random collection of digits Why, they even made a movie called PI
Wiki extract: The record for memorizing digits of π, certified by Guinness World Records, is 70,000 digits, recited in India by Rajveer Meena in 9 hours and 27 minutes on 21 March 2015.[183] In 2006, Akira Haraguchi, a retired Japanese engineer, claimed to have recited 100,000 decimal places, but the claim was not verified by Guinness World Records.regards,
