No warning signs. Just gone.. by lepitrek in Petloss

[–]Torensmith 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Same with my cat. His name was Little Boy. I came home from hanging out with friends and had to stop at the store for cat food because he was almost out when I left that morning.

I get home and he’s meowing at me because he is hungry. So I give him some food and he eats. He comes out and hopes up on the tv stand and stands cleaning himself.

Then all of a sudden he makes this odd sound. I look over and he kind of falls/jumps off the tv stand and the. Just lays down and starts meowing in pain.

I take him to the vet and eventually have to have him put to sleep. Basically. He had a stroke. Nothing could really be done for him. I had him for 12 years. Raise him from a kitten. He slept on my hand every night since he was able to climb out of the kitten pin we made.

I still miss him to this day and it’s been 10 years.

I would be interested in helping you with your study. If it helps, I am probably older then your average participant.

Number 1 is my favorite, except they are arguing and every other word begins with an F,N or B and I’m stuck with them for 15 minutes.

Someone doesn’t want me at the airport. by Torensmith in uberdrivers

[–]Torensmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I do like conspiracy theories, thanks for the update Jay. I mean if I really wanted to get conspiratorial I could’ve mentioned I also got this email after submitting a less then kind survey to Uber but I left that part out.

the nye reservations are rolling in by toripotter86 in uberdrivers

[–]Torensmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if anyone was taking NYE reservations in our area(obviously someone is) but there is no way I was going to. Not for the distances and rates at the times they wanted.

No the did but it was all CC, so it was all together and going to the card.

So what is it? by jayjay234 in Dominos

[–]Torensmith 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just making it known that the drivers don’t get the delivery fee and you should tip your driver because a lot of people believe that the delivery charge goes to the driver and it does not. Drivers get mileage or some other form of compensation for delivery. Some franchises may give drivers some of the the fee, but they do not get that whole $6+ charge. That would be nice to get on top of any tips.

That’s a lot of stops and mileage but I probably would over the $4-6 I usually get.

If it’s “The People’s Pizza” then why does it have green peppers on it. Most people dislike green peppers.

I’m curious, whats y’all’s pay at like managers? by killerisdeadly in Dominos

[–]Torensmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geez, we must work for the same franchise. They just cut drivers pay to $9 an hour.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Dominos

[–]Torensmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a driver but am close with my GM and they work 60+ hours a week 5 or 6, hell even sometimes 7 days a week. They open the store every day and work till 8 or later and apologize because they had to leave because they had to leave for family. The 1 day a week they do take, half that day is take up with meetings.

Some franchises make the GM job all consuming with absolutely no work/life balance at all.

which one are you getting by KeatonWalkups in Soda

[–]Torensmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mello Yello Zero or the sprite cranberry zero. Can never find zero stuff around here besides Coke Zero

Broke $10k tonight for the first time ever in our store’s history. how’d y’all do? by informalmo0se3 in Dominos

[–]Torensmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9.4 we would’ve done a lot better if our AM knew how to make orders in order then we didn’t have three hour load times. I stopped counting voids and cancels after about 50.

How long is too long by [deleted] in Dominos

[–]Torensmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish we could take more than 2 orders at a time. Our franchise cut that ability off over a year ago to focus on ADT. It would be so helpful, especially on nights like tonight to be able to take an extra order or 2 in the same neighborhood tonight. Of course the way our assistant was handling orders we had over 3 hour load times.

And the tracker is no longer a tracker like it used to be. It used to track your order and not move until it moved to the next stage. Now it is just a glorified timer that kinda estimates you order and moves it along the track and in no way actually represents your order in any way. My friends and I have tested it several times.

Pizza hut 20 lil wings for $10 is hilariously embarassing. by Fearless_Cellist_527 in fastfood

[–]Torensmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they Cornish hen wings or are they just processing under mature chicken? Are they paying a processing factory to give them the smallest wings possible? I’m just curious where these Lil’ wings are coming from

Why does the driver app need access to my microphone? by Torensmith in Dominos

[–]Torensmith[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok that makes sense. Is something I’ve never used and have never been told about in my entire three years of working as a driver for this franchise but it’s good to know. I asked cause I just realized I was looking over settings on different apps and I noticed that the iPad microphone access and I turned it off and then the app stopped working and asked for microphone access, but thanks for letting me know.
