“I love your food! and I live 40 minutes away. It's 2:00 pm on the Friday after Thanksgiving and I'm craving lots of things from your menu! I know you close from 3 to 5 pm, so I thought it would be wise of me, and helpful to you, to go ahead and call in my order now... to be ready for pickup at 5:15 pm. Whoever answers your phone says "we don't take pre-orders" (really??) and that "we are really busy right now" (which is great! that's exactly how you want to be!) but alas, my desire shall have to wait until another day.“
