Destiney Turner of King Pizza on 4th received an unusual call just before opening time this morning, around 9:45 a.m. Seems the caller wanted to send a medium pepperoni pizza and a Pepsi to his True Love at the U.S. Bank call center. She'd forgotten her lunch. Destiney explained that the pizza shop wasn't open yet. But the caller responded with a plea she couldn't refuse: He had already called other pizza places without success. And, oh yeah, he was a sergeant in Iraq, where, he said, the temperature was 130 degrees. At that point, Destiney couldn't take the order fast enough and was glad to include the serviceman's dictated note: "I love you, Sugar Drop. I hope you're having a wonderful day." He wanted to add a $10 tip. But Destiney refused the tip and payment for the pizza. After she hung up, Destiny said she cried: "He's other there and concerned about her. Amazing." Indeed.
