Story 1: The Great Pizza Delivery
It was a typical Tuesday morning when the phone rang at 4:45 AM. The hero, John, groggily picked up the phone, hoping it was not a telemarketer. But it was not. It was the pizza delivery guy, calling to inform John that his order of 5 large pepperoni pizzas was ready for pickup.
John, still half asleep, stumbled out of bed and made his way to the door. As he opened it, he was greeted by a figure in a bright yellow jumpsuit, carrying a tray of steaming hot pizzas.
"Dude, I'm so sorry," the delivery guy said, "but I have to tell you, these aren't just any pizzas. They're artisanal. Made with love and care, just for you, John."
John was skeptical, but the aroma wafting from the tray was undeniable. He took a bite of the first slice, and his eyes widened with delight. "Wow, this is amazing!" he exclaimed.
The delivery guy beamed with pride. "I'm glad you like it, John! I put a little extra love into it."
John finished the pizza, and then the delivery guy handed him the bill. John was taken aback by the price. "Uh, how much did I owe you again?" he asked.
The delivery guy smiled. "Let's just say it's a small price to pay for the love and care that went into making these babies."
John handed over the credit card, and the delivery guy took it with a flourish. "Don't forget to tip your delivery guy!" he said, winking.
As John watched the delivery guy drive away, he couldn't help but wonder if he had just been robbed.
