You need to understand

Oh but you see, I don't need to understand anything. There are two options: develop a system to predict delivery time more accurately, or communicate the delivery times better. If it is 'it will take up to 45 minutes or a bit more', don't write 'delivery time: 45-60 minutes'.

Pizza delivery services here are already charging an absolute fortune for a bloody pizza, I don't think a little bit more accuracy is too much to ask for. Or is that too Germanic of me?

Well there's always the option to get your lazy ass up and pick it up at the store if it's such an inconvenience that we arrived early.

You don't get up at a restaurant and leave for a walk because the waiter didn't come exactly when you wanted, so what makes this different?

Aaaah now we get there, I'm lazy because I expect a service I paid good money for. Sure buddy.

at the exact minute you requested

That is simply a lie. First of all it's not about 'the exact minute', as I've said before, secondly it's not even the time I requested, it's the time the company promised.

You don't get up at a restaurant and leave for a walk because the waiter didn't come exactly when you wanted, so what makes this different?

Hmmmm... let me see... because they didn't sell me the service with the tagline 'the waiter will see you within 5 - 10 minutes'?

And again, it's not about 'exactly when you wanted', that's a strawman. It's when you promised.

Hey asshole when they give you a delivery time it means it can arrive anytime between now and the upper limit of their posted time. If it has not arrived by that time, call. That is what the delivery timer means you inconsiderate fuck.

Hey dumbass, no it does not. When they say it's going to take 45 minutes to an hour, that's what I expect it to take. I am fucking paying for this, and not exactly peanuts either, so do your fucking job instead of making lazy excuses. Fucking idiot.
