I can't say that I've ever done this before, but personally, I don't
see anything particularly wrong with it. I have been known on occasion
to get carry out from several places when we couldn't agree on what to
have for dinner. Sometimes different family members want different
things. <shrugs> As long as they order something from the restaurant
in which they're actually eating and local health codes don't prohibit
it, what's the big deal? I don't really blame the family you talk
about for being irritated. If I'd been in their shoes, that would have
been the last time we ever dined at any Pizza Hut.
