Thursday –
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect to get Pizza at Pizza Hut, do you?
Went to lunch at Pizza Hut today, not by my choice (I hate buffets). But, off to the Pizza Hut buffet we did hi. They open at 11:00am, for the lunch rush. We arrived at 11:03, ready for some pizza moshing action.
But, hark, there is no pizza on the buffet, only a salad. Hmm, says I, where might the flatbread with goodies be? Oh, not to worry, says the matron, we’re baking it up right now.
Well, since I can get a pizza delivered in 30 minutes or less, certainly it takes less than 30 minutes to make the ‘za, no? Apparently Texas time really does run slower than the rest of the world. After 20 minutes of breadsticks and soda, we wonder again if they knew that lunch had started.
Oh, the pizza is almost done, we are reassured yet again.

11:30, and a steaming mass of Italian food arrives at the buffet, with a large mass of massively large people elbowing to get some. Ziti? I was hoping for Pizza, not ziti!
Finally, at 11:33 (or so) the master of food brings out a circular object, placing it in the position of honor on the buffet steamtable. But, wait, that is not red sauce, it is some other shade. Argh, it is dessert pizza! How can you have pudding if you don’t eat your meat?
Now 11:35, the first tiny pie shows up at the buffet, followed by 20 people trying to get the 10 slices. Thin crust? Thin Crust? Why, thin crust pizza takes merely 10 minutes to bake! Why, oh, why, would Pizza Hut require 20 minutes more to make a pizza than I require at my own home?
Then the floodgates opened and, yea verily, unto us did come a multitude of pizza pies. But, I can’t help but wonder if the opening of the store at 11am was a surprise to the employees of said establishment. Naturally, it took 10 minutes to pay the damned bill, too.
Oh, yeah, I added a mini-bio to my homepage, for ease of finding my photos. Am I cool or what?
And, the obligatory screenshot du jour. I’ve returned to Windows as my primary OS for now. It isn’t because it works better or is more stable or even faster or prettier. It’s simply because employers are still focused on Windows products, so I need to get back into practice with those products. Sucks, but there ya go.
So, the standard full-size and smaller-size versions are available. Have fun.
Umm, FYI Pizza Hut Lunch Buffer doesn’t start until 11:30. They may open at 11, but the official hours of the lunch buffet are 11:30 – 1:30. I absolutely loooooove Pizza Hut Lunch Buffet. Trust me, I know the hours.
Um, this was written 3 years ago. Perhaps things have changed. It’s kind of irrelevant. If the buffet doesn’t actually start until 11:30, then why bother opening the doors at 11:00?
