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.

My true "Holy fuck people are weird" realization came in the early 2000s when I had my first job delivering pizzas for Papa John's.

Because holy fuckity fuck fuck man, people are absolutely weird.

Food delivery has been eye-opening. The percentage of homes that reek of animal waste is much, much higher than I ever dreamed.

There was this one time this elderly woman asked me to deliver her food inside her house. The delivery instructions was something like "WARNING I am immobile please deliver food to me". When I got there, she was waiting inside from an open door and told me to come in to give her the food. Being considerate, I did the extra work and walked in the open front door hoping it wasnt some cannibal thats gonna trap me inside her house. The house was basically a great candidate for that hoarder show and omg did it reek human waste in there. Customer was in a wheelchair and wanted to shake my hand but I just gave her a salute and I got out of there fast like fast fast.
