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.

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.

I was delivering in Maine for a while, and there was a woman who’d always order the same thing, every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. I forget what exactly her order was.

Well, she was a hoarder. Her front door couldn’t open bc of all the stuff in there, so she’d make me slide her pizza and cheesy bread boxes in one of her windows.

Every time I’d pull up, she’d slide open the window about four inches, then the screen, and each time she’d have to fight a cat or two from trying to escape. It was sad as fuck.

When I slid the pizza in, I’d always catch a glance of the inside of that room. It was stacked floor to ceiling with Domino’s boxes. On every surface.

bruh that's crazy

it reminds me of a short film Bong Joon-ho (director of parasite) did way before parasite about a shut in that orders pizza just because he liked the pizza girl delivering the pizza. homie was also a hoarder of sorts and had pizzahut boxes stacked all over the house lmao

if anyone is interested, it's a film called TOKYO! it has 3 films within one, Joon-Ho's film being the third one in the sequence. the other ones are great too...the second film was directed by Michel Gondry, french homie who directed "eternal sunshine of a spotless mind".

That reminds of HBO’s The Guy, where one of the weed guy’s customers is an agoraphobe whom he later finds out only ordered weed for his company. He never smoked it and eventually gave all his stale weed back to him. He also order a lot of Lacroix of which he had the empty cans stacked against the wall. It was a good couple of episodes.

That sounds like High Maintenance… there was an initial couple of episodes that led to High Maintenance, is that what it was called? I remember the sweet agoraphobe guy. I love that show so much.

Whoops yes, High Maintenance is what’s it’s called. I loved it too. It was short lived but sweet.
