Row Z

I was a big fan of work at a pizza place from 2013-to 2015. I named my first account, pizzaboy, after the game. However, I quit it after finally getting bored and the pretty terrible community. Then, in 2016 I decided to go back. A bit like a reunion, I guess. What I wasn't expecting was how the game looked when I joined.

From looking at gameplay videos, I can tell that my server was different. It just felt off. I noticed that you couldn't choose Delivery as a job, so I picked Chef. When I picked it, I noticed how evenly spread the teams were apart from Delivery. Looks like things would work out if Delivery was accessible! The manager kept asking people to take the job. Every time he tried, people would say "No" or "Thanks but no." Eventually, he came to me.

Manager (for some reason, that's all the leaderboard called him): Please could you be delivery?

me:i can't

Manager: Why not?

me: you can't get to the spawn

Manager: I'll get you there. Follow me

We went into the manager's room and the first thing I noticed was the vent above his desk. He let me stand on his head so I could get into the vent and said "Go.". The vents were kinda long. It took me about 2 minutes to get to the Delivery room.

There was only one pizza box for me to deliver. When I picked it up, however, it said Z7. How was there a Z7? I'd been exploring the map earlier, and there were only A, B, C, and D rows. No row Z. But it had arrows directing me where to go, so I followed it. There were no cars, so I walked. Suddenly, I got a popup saying, "Use a car!". I noticed that a random car had unexpectedly spawned, so I used it to drive onwards, following the arrows. They led me midway down row C when my car suddenly started glitching and flung me out of it. I noticed that it didn't seem to be random flinging. My character appeared to be controlled by the game to land in a place. About 30 seconds later, I landed on Row Z. For some reason, the chat and leaderboard GUI slowly disappeared out as I walked. I noticed something when I was looking for Z7: There wasn't a house called Z7. There was just Dued1, the creator. His character had an angry face on it. When I walked, his gaze followed me. Suddenly, the leaderboard came back, and this time it was just him and I. "Why did you leave us?" he asked me in the chat. This began a conversation between him and me, which went like this.

me: the community was getting bad and i got bored

Dued1: You shouldn't have left us. We had great work to accomplish.

me: such as?

Dued1: More people. More friends. mOrrre fun

me: i couldn't help you with that

Dued1: Oh yes you could. And you still can.

me: how?

Dued1: I know how. Give me your account.

me: no man, i like this account

Dued1: Fine. Have it your way.

Suddenly, people came out of the other houses. They began to circle me. I noticed they looked like the people that were previously in the server. More and more names began to add into the leaderboard, and more and more people came out of the houses. They all began to chant. The chat changed to          "MORE PEOPLE

MORE FRIENDS

MORE FUN"

as more and more people circled me, eventually, they began to close in. When they touched me, my game crashed. When I tried to get back to pizzaboy, I was greeted with a screen of the work at a pizza place thumbnail that said

"MORE PEOPLE

MORE FRIENDS

MORE FUN".

I've made a new account now. I make sure never to go back to Work at a Pizza Place. If you decide to quit there, NEVER. I REPEAT. NEVER. GO BACK.
