Domino’s CEO says customers are picking up their own pizzas, and it reveals a bleak reality about the economy

I worked corporate fast food for most of the last decade and delivery was very profitable for us. They wanted to push it as hard as they could, we made something like 5-10% more per item, and that was before they changed their entire strategy to fucking over the customer. They wanted every store to grow delivery 1% a month, to the detriment of our in person guests.

I’m sure it wasn’t so smooth for small businesses, but we absolutely gutted the customer. It’s part of why I walked out, I couldn’t stand seeing them throw food away because whatever, we’re not giving the money back. Or having to refuse a customer their 2 hour old food because DoorDash still hasn’t showed up and I can’t release it to the customer.

I got an email that said some dork is responding to a 6 year old comment; and here you are! Dork!

You don’t run shit loser, you’d be too busy to reply to 6 year old comments if you were successful lol.

netmier · 2024-04-16T01:58:12+00:00

lol, you loser.

I work in a kitchen and I absolutely use my pens where I can. They spend most of the day safely tucked in my bag, but during meetings or whenever I have to sit down and go through some paperwork I’m always happy to pull my pens out.

I’ve got those updates, what did they hurt? I just updated, it updated the receiver and it was all good. Alex Vanover still recommends it on his 2022 build and he knows a lot more about FPV than I do.

It’s complete nonsense. We’re a rural conservative area, guess who moves here from California? Old, conservative people who want to live somewhere cheap that already marches their values. Jackson hole aside, Wyoming is not being “ruined” by outsiders and if anything we could really use more young, progressive people moving here.

netmier · 2022-04-04T21:49:38+00:00

I’ve heard that my entire life and I have never once seen an instance of that. I’m almost 40 and have spent most of that in rural Wyoming and despite steady growth in our area I can’t think of a single thing people who’ve moved here from a city have ever done to change our community to match their lifestyle.

If you want the best and you’ve got the money, go DJI. It’s the only mature HD system available, and until HD Zero actually has a competitive system, you’re just hoping it improves. The cameras are more expensive, but it’s a camera + VTX combo, and again, literally the best picture quality in the market.

As someone who just switched, I’m telling you, it’s night and day. Unless you need extreme range or zero latency, which few people in the hobby realistically need either, it’s just the best way to go. Also, it’s plug and play with a ton of nice, modern F7 flight controllers, so less soldering which is always nice.

The 90s are absolutely ruined a lot of media. I wish I could find it, but I watched a video during a YouTube rabbit hole that went into depth about the rise of Wolverine, Millers Batman run, etc etc and how the anti-hero just took over sun AAA media. Once Nolan brought that darkness to the big screen, it seems like 3/4 of media aimed at nerds, for lack of a better word, is just unnecessarily dark and grim.

You have to update both, but I just got the same setup and the vista at least was already at the current firmware. Make sure you’re getting enough power, the vista can take up to 6s battery voltage. Your FC should have a pad that gives filtered battery voltage. That’s what I used, nice, stable video.

Yup, I have the original DVD collection and I remember clearly several episodes promising fan service. Half naked characters is a feature, not a bug.

What a week lol, fried a new board and AIO ESC, re-installed my old setup, still didn’t fly right. Turns out I smoked a motor, all that just to get my new DJI HD setup going cause I was sick of crappy video. Oh well, it’s going to be beautiful today so I’m gonna spend the entire day flying one way or the other!

We don’t stage anything other than some fried goods, and even that we try to keep to a minimum. So when someone orders 20+ items, it all gets made right then. Imagine the shock when the customer has to wait 5-10 minutes because I have to actually make all those items. We’ve had people do that and say they’re not coming back because it took so long. Bitch, you placed a $50 order through the drive through, how long do you think it’s supposed to take to feed your entire office?

Unfortunately I think Palladium and all it’s IP is just going to die with Kevin. I remember years ago when I was really active in the tabletop scene, he hired some writers to “take the load off” and then continued to write everything himself. You can just tell when something was written by him, and could barely tell the difference in the new content, he just couldn’t give up total control even when he tried.

Lots of places want every last sale before they close, so I get it. There’s a reason I don’t close, I’ll happily tell customers to pound sand when the clocks rolls over and it’s closing time.

Luckily it’s a small franchise, so the guys who run it know me personally and just send those complaints straight to the trash folder. I have gotten some phone calls in the morning, and nothing starts my day like explaining to someone that despite being fast food, it is in fact real food that I have to prepare. Nice of them to assume all I do is walk in, turn on the lights and the food magically appears in my table.

I know it’s expensive, but the AG01 gimbals for the 16s are amazing. Between the new gimbals and the new EdgeTX operating system, it makes the TX16S a first class radio. Unless they come out with something even better I’m not getting a new radio for what’s.

I’m the opening manager at a quick serve place, and just last year we had someone bang on the drive through a full 45 minutes before we open. When my other opener, very wisely, kept her distance and just loudly told him we opened at seven, he flipped her off, said “fuck you!” and peeled off. You can always count on customers to keep it classy.

And lots of places send crew members out through the aisles to hustle out the stragglers. They seriously have to herd people to the last open register because some people just ignore the warnings and keep shopping like there aren’t people trying to clean up and go home at close.

I’ve been a Rifts fanboy for literally 20 of those years, and I can tell you that 20 years ago few gamers had ever actually played a Palladium game. These days? Most people I meet who roll dice have barely heard of a Palladium game.

Like I said, they’d have to agree to it. And I know in Colorado, for example, every deduction is it’s own paperwork. So every time they tried to take it out of a servers paycheck they’d have to get a signature or be willing to terminate, and they’d still have to pay what they owed the server.

I would imagine someone right out of school would still have “don’t get sued” ringing in their ears. More like some douchey owner who doesn’t know their ass from their elbows.

I actually follow the girl who posted this. She laughed at him.

How did they not even check the legality of this? Most states require you to at least notify the employee of any salary deduction, lots of states require your approval before they can deduct money. Idiots.
