Haha! I work at McD’s, and a few weeks ago one of our POS (Point of Service) machines somehow had gotten it’s system clock set forward 3 hours. Coincidentally, this was one of the machines we used to take orders in the drive thru. But the POS records the time the order was taken and attaches it to the order so as to put it on the receipt afterwards, and also to report and log the wait times.
Turns out that apparently that system doesn’t have any sanity check regarding the timestamps, so when these orders were then pulled up on the other systems (with the correct system clocks) to take the payment and display the orders at the prep stations, those systems were happily reporting negative three hour wait times. The system thought that we were serving orders three hours before they were taken! I joked that this meant we were either sending orders back in time, or we were seers that could see the future and know what people were going to order three hours before they showed up.
They fixed that POS’s system clock a few days later, but until then I found it hilarious to see my POS reporting wait times such as -10,770 seconds. Best wait times we’ve ever had!

They screwed up my order. All I got was cold crusts the next morning.

I can see humans inventing time travel for this reason alone.
Baarorso over 1 year ago
I’m sure they use DeLoreans to deliver! JUMPIN’ GIGGAWATTS! ;D
bigcatbusiness over 1 year ago
Does that mean the delivery guy will live in your house?

Well, “Paradox Pizza” sounds like a nice name for a pizza place.

Just make sure to put in your order once you’ve finished eating.
Blu Bunny over 1 year ago
So where’s my pizza! I’ve been hungry for more than an hour now.
Blu Bunny over 1 year ago
With Garfield hungry all the time, they would have to have a continual delivery run ever 10 minutes. or a live in pizza maker at their house.

This is just nuts! I have been using ‘Time Travel Pizza’ for 3 years now – and they never give me the extra cheese that I thought I ordered!

Replace pizza with chocolate bars and this would be my dream company

As lazy as Garfield is, a company that you don’t have to call seems very appropriate for him!
Goat from PBS over 1 year ago
I imagine they can be nowhere else except at Garfield’s house.
JonladY2K over 1 year ago
Surely you would still need to make the call in the future to make sure your past self gets it?

“WHY IS THERE A NAKED ITALIAN MAN WITH A PIZZA BOX AT CROTCH LEVEL AT MY DOOR !?!? I DIDN’T MEAN TO ORDER THIS, I AM JUST CONFUSED!??”
guenette.charlie(BozoKnows) over 1 year ago
That sounds a lot like the “Mind Ordering” ads Domino’s had tied to Stranger Things.
TheLordIsHolyForever over 1 year ago
Maybe they also use a time machine to deliver the pizza.

“No need to call, you already did.” So there’s no need to pay, I already did?
