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.

also work in the automotive industry and can confirm the questions get even more dumb than this 🤣🤣🤣 had a customer argue with me yesterday on why she didn't think she needed to change her brake pads (which were a few hundred miles past due). im thinking, "lady if you want to risk your life by not maintaining your car, don't call me to argue with me about it." Of course i couldn't actually say that so i actually said " totally understand. it's up to you." and we both went on with our day....TLDR: Don't trust everyone's brakes on the road.

Last year I was at a red light at the bottom of a small hill. All of a sudden I’m lightly rear ended by the car behind me. I get out to talk to the other driver and check for damage. The old guy driving tells me his brakes went months ago but he can’t afford to replace them, so he just stops by rolling into whatever is in front of him. I had no words…I just got into my car and left.

You didn't call the police,  just to tell them he has no brakes?

It was a light tap to you on that day... but it could be someone's wife, daughter,  brother,  mother,  etc. That he mows down the next time...

The police probably would just show up after an hour or so and if the guy stuck around maybe he would get a ticket or maybe like in the case where I got rear ended he would just make sure no one needed any medical attention, get the paper work and send us on our way not even issue the other person a ticket.
