I just called Pizza Hut for a delivery, called the local number I call about every two weeks, I am not in Alabama...I live 3 miles from my " in the country Pizza Hut." Guess What I got an answer from a Pizza Hut Service in ALABAMA with a woman with an accent that was not from anywhere in the States. Has anyone else ever had this happen. I have been dialing this number for ten years and never had this happen. Gotta love outsourcing. I think I just ordered my pizza from someone in Bangladesh. A new one for me...Know you think this ought to be under dining...BUT I THINK IT OUGHT TO BE UNDER POLITICS. So the question is HAS THIS HAPPENED TO YOU I mean in calling what you think is in your area and gotten someone WHO HAS NO IDEA where you are calling from?

Oh and so you know she had to "connect" me with the number I had called to begin with. How much money can that save?

For Cavinue...no we do not live in the same country. My WE applies to all....even if you live in the Country that took my call how would you like it if WE here in American took YOUR job by having the job outsourced HERE.

Yupchagee...you may not have seen the 20/20 on outsourcing calls such as this. They learn the dialect for different parts of America and speak in that dialect stating they are from AL, GA, NY etc. The people trained to take these jobs are extensively trained to "loose their accents" and speak English....next time you call one of the Major hotel chains for a reservation ask what is a good local restaurant nearby, suddenly they will admit they are not in that state. If you ask what state they are in...when they make one up, simply ask oh really do you have a "Pizza Hut" or any other American known chain nereby and they will not know.

They are selling t-shirts in the UK that say "My job went to India and all I got was this lousy t-shirt".
I don't support outsourcing abroad. If Pizza hut or whoever want to move their call centers to India then they should try selling their pizza's there instead of in the US. See how much money they make then.

Last November my partner and I moved out of the city with a pop. of 2.5 million people into a community of 10,000. On a canal with boats and open spaces. Needless to say the change was dramatic. We have a city about 30 minutes away that is about 30,000 where we can shop. We find the people are far more friendly. Shopping is a breeze without the crowds. Now you need to realize my partner and I are both in our fifties and were fed up with the crowds and traffic congestion in the city. There are no clubs or nightlife to talk about where we are. If you wish a quiet serene life the country is the place to be. Should we wish to go into the "Big" city it is only 1 hr. away.

I prefer to eat home made food & not plastic junk..& no that's about impossible to have happened to me, as where I live there is no such thing as "Pizza hut" & even if there was I wouldn't order from there! =Z

Well, my rule is if I find a company has outsourced jobs to another country, they don't get my business anymore! If enough of us do this, maybe these corporations will take notice. In your case, there are plenty of "mom and pop" pizza places that deliver for a competitive price, and the product is usually better!

What do you mean, we? It's ironic that you whinge about international outsourcing and don't even consider that this is a global forum.
WE, that is you and I, do not live in the same country.
I never order crud like Pizza Hut, so I can't share your experience.

Pizza Hut has lousy pizza, and so is their service.

1) We are in the USA.
2) It doesn't make sense to me, but I don't have access to their financial data.
3) At least it was somewhere in the USA where they speak English.
