I realize thinking outside the box is a rough on some people, but post up any experiences of unique thinking. Hopefully the kind that were POSITIVE.
So, I called my pizza place last night for the "Carry out special" I usually get, and asked them if it comes with ONE TOPPING and I get pepperoni on one side and mushrooms on the other, could they simply take both of those HALF portions and spread them across the whole pizza? After a minute of discussion since the order taker thought I meant TWO toppings on the pizza, his light bulb triggered we finally agreed on my math. He went and asked his manager if that was possible, and I could hear the discussion... about 3 other people were chiming in trying to figure it out. After some laughing, they all agreed and denied my request. Still, what is so wrong with that? SAME EXACT amount of food, just move your hand a little more and put half portion on BOTH sides of pizza. Does that hand movement cost more? Weird.
What outside the box thinking do you guys/gals do?
