Beet Needs to Hire One More Fucking Person.

Beet thai kicks ass, and they've got a 100% secure spot in our family's order-in rotation. That being said, every time I call them at delivery rush hour it ends up sounding like a Wall Street margin call.
HelloBeetThaiKaiHelpYouCANYOUHOLD!
The woman who picks up the phone literally sounds like what I'd imagine a stock broker would sound like these days. (I wouldn't know because they've already taken all my money so I don't get to talk to them anymore.)

AND THEN?????
Calm the fuck down lady, YOU'RE MAKING ME FORGET MY WIFE'S NOODLE.
Well damn, it's not this poor woman's fault - when I go to pick up the food so we can save $4 on a tip, the phone is always ringing off the hook. She's the delivery manager AND the cashier, AND the hostess - she's like the JudgeJuryJailor from the Phantom fucking Tollbooth.
Beet sweatshop owner: Can you hire one more fucking person?
Go look at Red Hot's operation - Three asian high school ladies, sweet as can be, and you CANNOT fucking shake them. Call Red Hot at any time - call them at 8pm on a Friday night with a speech impediment - they will still give you all the calm, friendly time in the world.
Yo Beet: It's a recession and your place is packed - make the 7 dollar an hour investment and do the right thing.

First of all, nice Phantom Tollbooth reference. You don't get those very often.
Secondly, can we also talk about Song? Great, cheap Thai food, but I've given up ordering from there. Every time I try I get a busy signal; usually takes at least 10 minutes of redialing to get the phone there to actually ring. And once I'm actually talking to someone there the call is constantly being interrupted by their call-waiting and being placed on hold to take other calls. SONG: Get another (a third? fourth?) phone line and another employee! You can handle the expense! (And we won't even go into the incredibly loud techno music and noise in the background...)
Beet beats Song, yo. Those salad rolls are blazin' amazin' (although I'm pretty sure they're not even listed on the menu anymore).
I, personally, haven't had a problem ordering from them. But I hear your cries for help.
