While in my early 20’s, I delivered for PJ’s in the Hampton area of Virginia. My service area included a “low income” area, Fort Monroe ( a fortress with an actual moat!) a college campus, a yacht club, and just regular customers. I had a lot of fun with all the different people I met. Here are a couple of highlights:

  1. One Sunday, HOOTERS called. Apparently the ladies wanted pizza…during business hours! When I walked in with the order, I was taken care of VERY well by the waitresses! The customers enjoyed the show…lol! It was all for fun, and nothing inappropriate happened. However, I was asked to autograph their shirts. :-) They paid for the order in wings!
  2. Some bored military police gave me a personal escort at Fort Monroe… lights flashing, the whole nine! I was delivering to a family gathering at the enlisted housing area.
  3. I have bartered extra pizzas for gas and burger king. At the time, a large supreme was worth a tank of gas!
  4. I have delivered to storm damaged areas. Being near the coast, we had a few tropical storms come through, and wipe out power, etc. If we still had power, pizza orders would flood in. I would have to drive around downed trees, flooded streets, and other obstacles to get to the customers. Tips were really good on these days!
