Pizza Parlors
OK. So I live in the Pizza Capital of the world...Central NY. I know you instantly think Italy, but I don't think that they actually are big Pizza eaters over there in the boot country....not the point. We're pizza crazy people. In addition to that, we are in Upstate/Central NY, so Buffalo Wings are the big deal as well. You absolutely, under no circumstance are allowed to order a pizza without your wings....it's like some kind of sac religious thing or something to even consider doing so...at least it is in this house.
Pizza parlor owners are aware of this....hence the pizza wings specials on every menu. They know that most people get their pizza with their wings...so that when their customer arrives and picks up their saucy meals all boxed up for them, that they will inevitably will be stacked one atop the other. It goes like this; the pizza box (maybe 2 or 3 depending on the shin dig that you are having) then Styrofoam boxes of wings atop of those...and maybe an appetizer, oh, and the baggie of celery and blue cheese. You pay your bill, and then the fun begins. It's a Circus Du Sole balancing act out the door and to the car.
So I ask you...No, I beg you....please tell me why it is, that every pizza parlor in this crazy ass area has double doors, and why one...ONE!!....is always locked?! And in case you're not from CNY, it's always the "out" door.
So there ya are...balancing your pizza, your wings, maybe some Mozz sticks....you push the door....nothing. You pull the door...nothing. Now you have to step to your left (to the left, to the left....thank you Beyonce.) Switch hands, because before you were pushing it with your right hand, and then you have to subtly maneuver your body through the "in" door, without smacking the edge of the pizza box on the tightly locked "out" door.
I honestly can come up with no imaginable explanation for this phenomenon, other then the people inside just like to watch. I think that it's mild entertainment for sadistic pizza makers all over Central NY. That's all I can come up with.
So maybe you have never noticed this before....but trust me....you will now.
UNLOCK THE OUT DOOR!!!!
