So I worked again today giving out samples at the local grocery store. Today I was demoing Palermo's Pizza. The pizza was good and went fast, probably too fast. I mean it is like insane how fast that stuff goes. You have to sit there for between 15 and 20 minutes while the pizza cooks. All the while that is happening people are walking by asking when it will be done. When it is finally done, you pull it out of the oven and immediately there is a line of at least 5 people standing there waiting for you to serve the pizza. In the time that you finally cut the pizza and fumble to put the first napkins out on the table to put the samples on, the line has pretty much doubled. The pizza is then gone in less than 2 minutes, depending on how fast you are at dishing out the slices. And this isn't normal pizza slices where you might get 12 slices out of one frozen pizza. No, you have to cut it into squares and get about 30 pieces out of it just so that you can serve as many people as possible. And then you have to wait another 20 minutes to do the same exact thing. It is totally insane. Luckily I am not doing that again for awhile. My next demo is pretzels, a nice peaceful ongoing sample. That will be so much nicer. . . . although, probably not. It will most likely be super slow. Oh well, I can't complain (well I can), but the pay is pretty good.
