Your pies will be ready soon! Holiday pickup days at Birdie's Pie Shop are the best times of the year. It's busy, there are lines, fun, new friends and lots of pie! This little guide will help you get ready for pickup day!
Piecrastinators (Is there hope for you?)
- Sweet Pies: Gingerbread, Cranberry Orange, Candy Cane Cream, Chocolate Cream, Triple Berry, Key Lime, Pecan, Apple, Raspberry Cream, Peanut Butter Chocolate
- Savory Pies: Christmas Breakfast Pie, Chicken Pot Pie, Veggie Breakfast Pie
- Rules: No call-ins, no holds. First come, first serve. If you can't get off work, send family or friend. If you don't have family or friends, send your neighbor. If you don't have family, friends or neighbors - message me - I'll be your friend.
*rules caveat - if you're pregnant (or a ginger) I make exceptions for you.
General Pickup Rules:
- Rule #1: We don't control the weather. We wish we did. But, we don't. So please check and dress appropriately in anticipation for lines outside.
- Rule #2: Be kind. Mean or grumpy people in line are not tolerated. I'll smile, give you hug, a refund and ask you to leave. Love you. But, serious.
- Rule #3: We cannot and will not take phone orders or save pies for those who message or call us. That would be unfair to those in line.
When can I pick up my preorder or come buy pie?
- December 23rd from 10am to 6pm
The 10am Line:
Remember, if you preordered you can come whenever you'd like. You don't need to come at 10am. Come at noon. Maybe 1. You'll say, "this is the best ever." If you come at 10am, just remember, 90% of that line is ALSO preorder folks...all coming and excited to pick up pie at the same time. So you will have a line. You've been warned.
You'll have to trust us when we says after about 50 holiday pickups, we've tried just about everything to move that line quickly. We've done pickup locations, we've had two lines, we've had exclusive hours for pick ups. We've tried it all. Our system now, I very much promise, is the best and quickest.
The single line is really "two lines in one". This is for safety, too. Our shops are small. We need clear entry and exits. If you're in line, preordered and need more pie, you just stay in line. If you don't need more pie, there will be gals with tablets that pull you aside, look you up and "runners" go and grab your pies. That's how it works! Each preorder person takes about 45 seconds to help.
Can we ask a favor of you: If you are going to have someone else pick up your order, can you ensure they know what they're picking up? As you can imagine, we're trying to move quickly. If we make a mistake, say we grab a chocolate peppermint instead of a chocolate cream - that's an easy accident. So if your pick-up person knows exactly what their picking up - it sure helps. :)
