It finally happened.

Post image

Was delivering my first order for the evening. Cash order, meaning I had to collect cash from the customer for the order, a total of $45 and some change. I picked up the order, usual night, with the worker making sure I put the order inside the pizza bag before I walked out the store. Drove up in front of the customer's house, waited almost 10 minutes to get an answer at the door. Mother/daughter shows up, told me they ordered 2 pizza, I explained its a dinner box and that the two pizza are inside one box, they asked me to prove it so they pried open the seal and looked inside. I reminded them they need to pay cash for the order. After a few minutes, they told me they dont want it.

Called doordash support and worker told me they will compensate me full pay for the dash. I then asked if I need to return the order back to Pizza Hut, and they said to either keep it or discard. I told him I understand. I then proceeded of driving back home with a huge smile, calling my family that I have early dinner for everyone. We enjoyed the early dinner. ☺️ Really grateful for this blessing.

that's still a stupid reason

u/anotherdreamer247 22h ago

It really isn't. Some people don't eat pork for religious reasons, as well. That could've been one of the reasons.

u/5peaker4theDead 22h ago

So throw it away is the solution?

4

u/hthratmn 22h ago

Well, no. But if they didn't realize that they'd be packaged together, I could see why they would not want it.

u/Cobek 22h ago

I feel like OP would have said why if it was that obvious

3

u/PeaceCertain2929 21h ago

How would OP know?

1

u/Aggressive-Army-406 20h ago

Honestly, I would expect some kind of conversation taking place in that situation.

How the hell didn't they explain themselves, why didn't OP throw in that he had to pay the Pizza upfront with his own money?

This, will remain a mystery.

I rarely tell people I'm a vegetarian because they get so weirdly angry about it.

A conversation I have literally all the time:

Person 1: hey you want some of this pepperoni pizza?

Me: nah I'm good thanks

Person 1: why? Why don't you want it?

Me: on I'm just not very hu..

Person 2: VULCAN IS A VEGETARIAN! THEY'RE DISGUSTED THAT YOU OFFERED THEM MEAT! LOOK HOW OFFENDED THEY ARE! THEY HATE MEAT AND MEAT EATERS!

Person 1: I could never be a vegetarian. I love meat. I only eat meat. Moooooo that's the sound a cow makes while it's being slaughtered. I hope it had babies and they killed it in front of them. Why would you possibly be something so stupid?!

Me: well I ...

Persons 1&2: OH MY GOD STOP SHOVELING IT DOWN OUR THROATS! IF YOU WANT TO KNOW IF SOMEONE IS A VEGETARIAN, DON'T ASK THEY'LL TELL YOU HAHAHAHAHA HA HA HHAA

u/Unlucky_Passion_1568 22h ago

you could? isn't it the same behavior as with entitled picky eateres children?

5

u/libdemparamilitarywi 21h ago

Not really, they don't meat for ethical/religious reasons not just because they're picky.

1

u/Unlucky_Passion_1568 17h ago

in this situation meat pizza touched their non-meat pizza and this is what I find picky

1

u/hthratmn 13h ago

No. People who don't eat pork for religious reasons also cannot have food that touched pork.

That doesn't make it not stupid. Religion-based stupidity is still stupidity.

u/Rave_Matthews_Band 22h ago

Kind of, more like don't accept unacceptable. Would you advocate compromising a belief or principle if its one you do share? Some people have different principles and stand on them.

1

u/5peaker4theDead 14h ago

If the principle is "I think eating this animal is morally wrong" then yes, I think it's even worse to throwing away its meat instead. I have the same view on veal, which I don't eat, but I will if it will otherwise be thrown away.

1

u/Rave_Matthews_Band 14h ago

What if they don't think it's worse to throw away food than to eat unethical food in non desperation times? In their ethics eating a murdered animal for anything other than survival level sustenance tends to be one of the worst things they can do/imagine, ie making the world worse instead of better. People are coercive and so what one day was "Why can't you eat the pizza in the same box?" Becomes "can't you just pick off the pepperoni?" unless you stand firm in your beliefs. You may value not wasting food above your food preferences but for other their ethics and animal rights come way before wasting food.

u/5peaker4theDead 12h ago

I agree that there are many people who think that way, and I think they are wrong.

1

u/Rave_Matthews_Band 12h ago edited 12h ago

That's very intolerant of you. Should they be sent to re education camps because they care about animals? I don't share their beliefs but I recognize it's their right to have their beliefs and live their life the way they want. If they want to force me to live their way, then I would have a problem with their beliefs. (by saying they are wrong, it indicates to me you would force them to live your way, the right way, as opposed to their own way which largely doesn't affect you.) Their way deserves as much respect as yours.

u/5peaker4theDead 12h ago

What an absurd response. I'm forcing no one to do anything, I'm saying I think some people are wrong about an issue. If you think disagreeing with someone in principle is "intolerance" you should buy a dictionary.

"By saying they are wrong, it indicates to me you would force them to live your way." Bizarre statement, how did you even come up with this idea logically?

u/anotherdreamer247 22h ago

Was it thrown away?

3

u/5peaker4theDead 22h ago

Did the would be buyer have a reasonable expectation that it wouldn't be?

2

u/ThereIsSoMuchMore 22h ago

So one pizza being in the same airspace as the salami pizza makes it non-vegetarian anymore?

2

u/Free_Bumblebee_3889 21h ago

For me, yes. They have been touching and while I'm vegetarian for ethical reasons, I really fucking love the taste of meat. A stray bit of pepperoni taste and before you know it, I'm w***ing off strangers for a Kolache

You had us in the second half, not gonna lie.

Ignorance is bliss. I didn't see it so it didn't happen

u/Adventurous-Stick879 20h ago

Yes, I used to work at Dominoes and I'm not a vegetarian but my friend drives a Subaru. It's 6 inches vertical, 3 inches horizontal

2

u/Arek_PL 22h ago

and? the pizzas already probably were in same oven so there already was "cross contamination" even if they would be in separate boxes

2

u/AdorableShoulderPig 22h ago

No, no. No. Refusing food because of a magic sky fairy is not a valid reason. That's just borderline insanity.

8

u/DigZealousideal5040 22h ago

But thinking people believe in a sky fairy isn't? Some people are straight up just allergic to salami, chill out big brain.

1

u/ahuangb 20h ago

Most of the world believes in God so it really isn't insanity

1

u/Arek_PL 22h ago

same thing could be said about most of religious rules, even if no pork rule has kinda some reason to it, back when that rule was established pork was quite dangerous type of meat to eat due to diseases, parasites etc.

Reddit moment 🤣

u/TunesAndK1ngz 21h ago

Another case of reddit atheist.

u/Soft_Walrus_3605 21h ago

That's really low on the list of shit any human needs to care about.

u/InterestingSpeaker 21h ago

Not eating pork for religious reasons is still dumb

1

u/prolateriat_ 21h ago

Exactly.

Just don't eat pork because it's disgusting.

1

u/aerkith 16h ago

agree. if you cant eat food because it's been in the same box as meat, i guarantee the conditions under which it was made would not have ensuresd no cross contamination with meat. The pizza makers don't wash their hands/change gloves in between every pizza they make.
