Why do I need to have "shared experiences" with the person I'm ordering pizza from? I'm trying to order pizza, not get a date. It's not about "worthiness" or anything as elitist as that either; I just want to buy a pizza.

Or that they can't afford to build an online order service? I seriously doubt the guy working the counter at my local pizza restaurant has any particular desire to speak to me personally.

I agree that forcing people to talk to a poorly designed phone tree with terrible voice recognition would be rude, but this isn't that.
