have you tried ordering a pizza in pizza express without getting the olives/bread/doughballs hard-sell?
Yes, frequently, I eat in there once a month typically, I've never noticed any hard sell. They might say* "Would you like any olives/bread/doughballs?", you say "No, I'm fine thanks.**" and that's it. That's not a hard sell. I'll tell you what they do do though, everytime I sit down some money-grabbing little toe-rag will shuffle over, rubbing their hands and ask me if I want a drink, a DRINK! The evil, thieving BASTARDS!!!
On the other hand, some people might call that customer service.
*Except they don't, I've NEVER been asked that and I've eaten in more PE's than I care to remember.
** Except I don't, I usually have some olives. I like olives. I, however, usually ask for them, for the reason listed above***.
*** Sorry about all these footnotes, I've just finished reading Terry Pratchett's latest book****, it seems to rub off on you.
**** It's very good, I heartily recommend it.
