Pizza Hut

On June 29th, we ordered 8 pizzas for carryout for my daughters birthday and scheduled a pickup on the app for 5:15 P.M. We arrive and it was ready for such a large order. There was a paper taped to the door with their operating hours of 4P.M.-8P.M. and finding labour now is hard. There was no delivery driver on hand, no manager, no anything. I noticed no one around but a gentleman cutting our pizzas while the phone kept ringing. I asked him "Are you the only one here?" and he replied "Yes". As the night went on all I could think about a lone employee who showed up to work and knew he was defeated before he unlocked the door. I thought I should have grabbed an apron and helped. Pizza Hut is not at fault for this. The franchise owners I'm sure are trying desperately to find help. I dont know the gentleman's name but on Tuesday, June 29th at 5:15 P.M. is when the order was scheduled for pickup. I think we ordered around 2-3 to give plenty of time for it to be ready. Sometimes our heros run into fires or spend times on the front line. Maybe they sit in a desert months away from family. Maybe they are just being the lone person to show up for work when nobody else would. I would never ask to inundate this person with a flood of orders but stop on at the Pizza Hut on Shore Drive and bring this man some food, put out a tip jar, order nothing and add money to the jar. Just say hello and if it's not busy, get something to go. Even if it's just a 20oz soda. Sometimes you can feel empathy and inspiration from one lone person. Sir, I love you work ethic and it will carry you on to bigger and better things in the future. Thank you for making me humble. I wish you the best.
