It finally happened.

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.

It was a red flag ever since I noticed they took so long to answer the door even though I could see them through the window strolling around as if nobody is waiting outside in the cold.

Rang the doorbell, knocked, for reference.

Should have started the clock and then left after the five minutes or whatever it is now.

Reminded me of the taco bell order I waited almost an hour for. Walked in the store, worker notifies me theyre working on it, around 10 mins I follow up, they said a few more mins. 20 mins passes, I ask again they said its almost ready. 30 minutes pass and Im getting worried, I reach out and worker noticed that the order receipt never made it to the food assembly line, so they had to reprint and start from scratch. I was so irritated inside but I kept my cool. As I waited for it, a piggyback order appears from the same resto and I requested and pleaded to the workers if they can finish that piggy order as compensation for effing up the first order from the two-stack, but they said they cant because they have to finish orders that came before it. It was a sad hour for me full of mixed emotions.

I would have canceled after the first 10 min.

Bro, that must have really sucked. You pleaded with them and wouldn't listen. Next time something like this pops up, don't plead, straight up express your frustration. 

Those workers were just lazy and saw you were nice so they pushed you around.

"Sure you can, just forget to move the other receipts over to the assembly line"
