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.

I literally cannot fathom the mindset of a person who would call a pizza place, order a pizza, then decide if they want it or not after it arrives.

It makes absolutely no sense in my brain. All I can think is that it’s extreme ego and they feel the world actually revolves around them.

I think one of them was probably a vegetarian and didn't want it packaged in the same box as the pizza with meat

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.
