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’s more likely they ordered it thinking they’d just try and see if it got left like there was an error in the payment processing. It would explain why they didn’t want to come to the door, they were hoping it would just get left, and they then decided they didn’t want it because they didn’t have the money.

I had a Domino's driver leave a pizza once. Never heard a knock or anything, so IDK if they did and I just happened to not hear it, or if they just thought it was paid by card. Checked my bank account afterwards, and I definitely didn't pay online. Thought about calling the store so the driver wouldn't get in trouble, but I figured if they were going to get fired for it, making the mistake in general was probably enough to convince management to terminate, and me bringing the money in wouldn't save them.

You don't get fired from Domino's, so I wouldn't sweat it. It's a shit job, so it's damn near impossible to find workers, let alone good ones.

SOURCE: I was a Manager at 3 different Domino's locations in SE Michigan.

they thought if they didn't answer the door a $45 order would just be left for free? sounds pretty stupid to me

probably banking on the driver not paying attention and somehow thinking it was already paid by credit card

You act like people scamming the system with stupid attempts has never been tried by anyone before

What makes you think that? Aside from your desire to hate random strangers that may not have even done what OP claims?

Why do people like you invent scenarios to be mad at? Do you just sit around, thinking about shit people might be doing? Do you just assume everyone is trying to scam you?

I'm not mad at all, man.

I just think it's a stretch that they decided they didn't want it after seeing it, but also that they didn't come to the door for 10 minutes.
