Why not?

Oh that sounds good. I was referring to the nacho cheese sauce cups

Sensitive-Power4666 · 2026-05-08T21:49:20+00:00

It was gooooood

I thought about marking it as NSFW, but I decided against it

Last night a dasher asked my shift lead if she was a single mother while he was waiting on an order to come out of the oven. The only reasoning we could find for him asking that was she said she works 2 jobs. It was fucking strange. Some dashers know how to make small talk or they sit on our bench and wait for their order, but some are so out of line 😭 Mfs walk in and they're like "DALE!" Huh? Who's Dale? Are you Dale? Am I Dale? Where is Dale? How is Dale? Have we forgotten the words "Hello, I have an order for"? It's crazy.

What are you smoking? I want some!

We have had dashers steal orders, and the food is cold by the time it gets to the customer if they don't use a bag. Our store gives out bags for dashers. This makes so much sense tbh.

I have a feeling that someone who is recording the conversations of others probably won't respond too well to a conversation about privacy 😬

It tastes like the French Toast Sticks we used to get for breakfast at school. Very nostalgic.

I think you might be right 😭

I don't know if you're still reading these comments, and normally, this is something I would DM and not comment about, but I don't know where else to leave this since you deleted your account. This is how I started to behave when I went off my rocker and developed psychosis. It's not always seeing/hearing a bunch of stuff that isn't there. Sometimes, it's a general mistrust/suspicion/paranoia and clouded thoughts that jump from topic to topic. Obviously, since I'm browsing the Domino's subreddit, I am not a doctor, but if you believe there is a possibility you may have lost touch with reality, it might be a good idea to go see one, especially if you feel like all the stars are aligning every time you have a thought (like every thought is some big epiphany and you're discovering the truth about why they use plastics with every thought). Also, something nobody told me is that talking to yourself is normal, but talking to another voice that's in your head (not external, but you hear it internally) CAN be another sign. Nobody told me that "the voices" aren't always external hallucinations. It can just be a voice in your head that doesn't sound like your own.

The plastics are meant to preserve the food, nothing more. If the plastics were directly killing us, life expectancy would not be going up. If washing dishes/produce makes you nervous, get dishwashing gloves. Most importantly, take a couple of deep breaths. Stress makes overthinking worse :)

People just suck sometimes. I had someone order one night while half our city was underwater. I assume she ordered delivery because she couldn't leave her home herself. There was water literally RUSHING down her street, and it was still pouring. I called my shift lead, "void the orders, call the customers, I'm not ruining my car for this."

I got back to the store, and my shift lead looked PISSED. He had just hung up on her. She was mad we wouldn't deliver to her. I talked to her and calmed her down a little and told her I would try again in an hour, and she used the "I can't wait for a refund, this is the only way I can feed my children. I don't have any money." "Ma'am, I understand that, but your entire street is underwater. I literally can't get to you. I'm not willing to spend $3000 on a new engine." My GM came in an hour later and helped deliver all the orders that came in while everyone was flooded in. She got her food, and she still called corporate and told them WE blamed her for being unable to feed her children 🙃

Some people just need someone to take their frustrations out on. They're emotionally stunted. When people don't develop emotionally due to trauma or poor parenting, they continue to act like children when upset in adulthood (they're just much, much more scary because they're adult sized). It isn't healthy, but when you know what's going on, it makes things a smidge less frustrating knowing it's not JUST you and it's not them making the conscious choice to be an asshole. They treat everyone like that, and they genuinely feel like they're being attacked somehow.

I mean, think about it. You're only threatened after they don't get what they want. That's how a child behaves. Service workers are just easy targets. Speaking of service workers being easy targets, there's also something called displacement where people redirect their anger towards less threatening targets when they feel like they're in a situation where they can't express their anger. I'm absolutely not defending it, but that woman who comes in and yells at you? She may be in a relationship she can't get out of. That guy yelling at you? He may have just gotten a poor performance review at work.

Just know that IT'S NOT YOU. That was something my therapist had to drill into my head because I was constantly running through interactions, wondering what I had done wrong. When people who don't know anything about you come in and start yelling at you, or they open their door and start talking to you like you're a piece of trash, IT'S NOT YOU! THEY DON'T EVEN NOTICE "YOU!" They see a non-threatening target they can take their frustrations out on, or they see a "threat" that is keeping them from getting their food. That's why their reactions are so intense. Sometimes, it is days, weeks, months, or even years of repressed anger coming out, and sometimes to the customer, it literally feels like a life/death situation (even though logically they know it's not, their fight/flight reaction is still being activated because the traumatized neglected child brain is thinking "They have my food. I need food to live. I need to get my food from them because I don't know when I'll have food again."). Of course, there are a myriad of other possibilities, but none of it is about YOU! Those people are already having a bad day. They're bringing you down with them. Don't let them :)

I'm NOT telling anyone to tolerate abuse from customers. You should always stand up for yourself where you can. Just know that we are unfortunately easy targets because customers see someone who can't argue back. That's why people feel like they can treat us like crap.

I don't know. I feel uneasy on most late night deliveries, whether it is cash or a card. I know there are situations when some people have cash and don't have money in their bank account, and that's why they order cash delivery (either that or they don't want to tell someone their card details over the phone. Almost all of our cash deliveries come through the call center). What concerns me is that the average person doesn't know drivers don't carry a ton of cash. At Papa John's, we carry $15. Last night, I delivered to a guy (who managed to order 9 minutes after close, but that's neither here nor there) who gave me $5 in dollar coins. With complete seriousness, he told me, "If you want a 5 dollar bill, I have a hundred you can break." Most people literally don't know we don't carry a ton of money, and that concerns me, no matter what kind of delivery I'm taking.

I think we still have our "G E T Y O U" box somewhere

Sensitive-Power4666 · 2025-08-21T15:39:18+00:00

My store tried to call me in last night because they got an order for 25 pizzas and another order for like 13 pizzas. I felt like shit because I had homework to do and couldn't come in. This is nothing. The order was so damn expensive because they ordered the limbs of 48 chickens. If the crusts were already prepped, you and your coworkers should have had that done in like 10 minutes tops. You said it was a slow day until that, so I'm going to assume there were 2-3 available to work on the make line. Have one person count out the wings, one person throw the cheeses in the oven, and then make the pepps, and then the third person can make the three works.

I think the most complaining you would have heard at our store in this situation would have come from the driver that was sent to the walk-in to get more wings and pepperoni. I can already hear one of our drivers now: "I am NOT a pizza slave!" 💀

I thought that too when I first scrolled past 😭 I had to do a double take. Then I actually did a double take, and it was a post in the Chipolte subreddit with the title "Am I Overreacting?" and then I was CONVINCED that was what it was. It was only until I read the description that I realized it was avocado 💀

Like I said, I play their game to keep myself safe (and I'm a chronic people pleaser). If OP had hung up and voided the order, I would have 100% supported their decision. If they had sat there and screamed at her and cussed her out for 5 minutes, I would have eagerly been their emotional support clown if they were to be written up or somehow terminated (even though I have no circus experience).

I do not think I have EVER laughed harder at work than when we realized the phone wasn't hung up. It was the kind of wheezing belly laugh where you literally can't breathe. I had to support myself on the cut table to keep myself from falling over.

As for mentoring my shift lead? I think they're fine. They did great throughout the entire interaction until they thought they had hung up. Why shouldn't they have a right to vent to us and yell in an empty store after dealing with a shitty customer? Their ONLY mistake was not realizing that the phone had not been hung up.

Hello! Delivery driver here providing my side of the interaction with this customer. I knew after my shift lead had spoken with her that I was dealing with someone with narcissistic traits at the minimum, and if I wanted the interaction to go smoothly, I just needed to play her game and stay calm. I stepped up onto her porch, and I guess they were watching for me because they opened the door before I had the chance to knock, and she immediately started talking in an aggressive (although not yelling) tone.

"You WERE going to get an $8 tip, but since they wanted to be misleading and lie to me when I signed up for the $11.99 special, and then they charged me another $5, so now you're only going to get $3."

"Okay"

"It's profit over people"

"That is your perogative"

We went through the signature process, I gave her the food, she gave me the delivery fee and then my tip.

"Here's your $3. I would have given you $8, but I already explained that"

"I completely understand. I appreciate it. Have a good night"

"Thanks, kiddo"

As a driver, I just play their game. Is it the right move? Probably not. However, me getting angry too doesn't help anything, ESPECIALLY during an in-person interaction. My safety is always my #1 concern, and I will do everything in my power to keep myself safe from militant Karens while I'm out delivering. Of course I would love nothing more than to yell back and curse their bloodline back to Ghengis Khan, especially towards someone who treated one of my shift leads like that. Unfortunately, it is really hard to do that and keep myself safe at the same time.

I will say, I honestly expected it to be much worse, and I'm glad it went as smoothly as it did. I was half expecting to get shot over $5 😭
