I was in a house close to this chipper, about five minute walk. So the best thing to do is to ring the place, order and then just collect. Seems to be pretty straightforward task right? This is where it gets somehow complicated and the ending is more than surprising. I ordered before over the phone two-three times and there was never a problem. I am ringing the chipper but there is no answer. I guess they are busy, that's seems to be obviously the reason they are not answering. I try 4-5 times and still nothing. So then I try again and still nothing. Seems to be a bit strange at this moment that they are not answering the phone at all in a space of 10 minutes... At this stage I decide to go there and see for myself what's the situation. I walk in and see the following: one customer at the counter. Three members of staff. One at the back mixing something in a large pot, two women at the fryers. Apparently they have nothing to do. As I am holding the phone in my hand I can hear their phone ringing at the back. Nobody cares. Woman #1 (with stupid looking fake eyelashes) asks me what I want to order. I told her that I am trying to ring them for like 10 minutes and I am asking her what's the story with that. She said "we are busy" ... I am baffled, I look around and tell her that it's obviously not busy at all and I wanted to order for collection 4 meals... she goes: "yeah, we are busy, do you want to order something"? I said no, at this stage I want to know where seems to be the problem, I don't want to order anything. It's not busy at all so why are you not answering the phone. I hear again: "we are busy" ... I have one simple question for this woman. If you are reading this, the question is: Do you consider yourself normal?
