I've found the most effective way to place an order is to call directly. And I hate talking on the phone.
It seems backwards, but I don't want to give aggregators my business or my data, and most local websites either suck or require I retype all my data.
Calling is most analagous to just ordering at the counter.
- uoaei 6y agoYeah, the person on the other end of the line also wants the call to be over as soon as possible. There's no predilections of cordiality, you just say "pickup order", they say "OK", you list the things you want, they read it back to you, both hang up. It's awesome.
- jmondi 6y agoSometimes there is a language barrier when calling on the phone that is just not there when you order at the counter (without a mask). Ordering at the counter these days (wearing a mask) is actually very similar to ordering over the phone. It is much more difficult to hear what the other person is saying, and when you do hear it, you don't get the mouth movement to help you understand what is being said.
