Hey guys, it’s Jazzy. And it’s totally, terrific Tuesday. And actually, I decided to become a pizzeria owner.

So I’m doing it all by myself because it’s just one of those common last-minute thoughts, you know. Just a spur of the moment — I mean you gotta live every once in a while.

Anyway, I’m just gonna wait.

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

Are you kidding me?

It’s been a solid five minutes, and I haven’t even gotten a call.

[PHONE RINGING]

Oh my gosh! My first customer!

Jazzy: “Hi, welcome to Jazzy’s Pizza. How can I help you? . . . Oh, wrong number?

Uh, it’s a common mistake. Don’t worry. Thank you, bye.”

Unbelievable.

You know, maybe if I posted something on my social media, then I would get some calls.

There we go. Genius!

[PHONE RINGING]

Jazzy: “Hi, welcome to Jazzy’s Pizza. How can I help you? . . . Wait, you’re actually a customer?

Okay, what would you like?

One cheese pizza. OK. It will be ready in 20 minutes. Thank you so much.”

Okay, I’m ready to make my first pizza.

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

There we go.

I’m so excited.

This pizzeria idea was a really good idea.

Well, here we go.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Customer: “Oh, hello.”
Jazzy: “Hi. Thank you for ordering from Jazzy’s Pizza. Here you go.
Customer: “Oh, here you go.”
Jazzy: “Thank you.”
Customer: “Thank you. Looks good.”
Jazzy: “Bye.”

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

A second caller already? Man, today’s a good day.

Jazzy: “Hi, welcome to Jazzy’s Pizza. How can I help you? . . . Two pepperoni pizzas. Okay, that’ll be ready in twenty minutes. Thank you so much for calling.”

I’m ready to make my second order.

Yeah!

[PHONE RINGING]

Oh my gosh, a third caller? I wasn’t expecting this at all.

Jazzy: “Hi, welcome to Jazzy’s Pizza. How can I help you? . . . Four pizzas? Two cheese and two pepperonis. Can I get that to you in thirty minutes? You want it in twenty?

Okay, I’m going to do my best to do that. Thank you for calling.”

Okay, well, I have to do it, so.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Customer Two: “Oh, hi.
Jazzy: “Hi, here’s your two cheese pizzas.”
Customer Two: “Oh. Well that looks good, but we ordered two pepperoni pizzas.”
Jazzy: “Was that you?”
Customer Two: “Yeah, that was us.”
Jazzy: “Ohhh. Okay, I’ll go get your order. It’s not like I have a bunch of other pizzas to do. I’ll see you later.”

Oh my gosh. I can’t believe he was so picky. Why wouldn’t he just take the pizza? It’s pizza. I would take it.

Who’s that man think I am? Doesn’t he realize I’m the only person in this business?

[SIGN] People these days.

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

I don’t time for that. Ow, ow, ow!

Jazzy: “Hi, here’s your pizza. Bye!
Customer Two: “Hey, you forgot your money!”

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

I gotta go!

Are you kidding me?

I can’t believe I’ve just dropped four pizzas. What is my issue? I can’t take this anymore? Why did I even this about doing this?

Ahhh!

[PHONE RINGING]

Jazzy: “Hi, welcome to Jazzy’s Pizza. How can I help you? . . . Oh you still didn’t get your pizzas? Yeah, we’re on our way right now. We’ll be there in five minutes.

Okay, bye, thank you so much.”
