A Weird Happening

A guy, Nick, I was teaching with at a Japanese university with told this to me.

One night, feeling hungry, he walked up to a Pizza Hut restaurant. It was one of those take-out-only places, a box without wheels.

Anyway, Nick, walked up to the drive-in window and said, "I want a small pepperoni pizza, please."

The guy at the window looked at Nick and said, "Sorry, we only take phone orders."

My friend was upset; he replied, "What? I am standing right here. I want to order a pizza!"

The Pizza Hut guy at the window, following his training, repeated that a call-in was mandatory.

Then the absurd happened.

Nick took out his cell phone and, looking the guy straight in the face, called in an order for a pepperoni pizza.
