I remember working at Subway and instead of chanting the customer is always right, the managers would always remind us that we had a right to refuse service to people because there were some really bad people who’d show up (were talking people who would try and abuse us into caving to give them free food or discounts)
Businesses really coddled customers far too much and rewarded the worst behavior, and now the worst customers attempt to use social media to damage businesses. Management sets rules and makes employees enforce them, but immediately cave in the instant they are called. Stand firm, call the cops, and have the customer removed. Or change your ducking rules if you won't enforce them yourself.
The one with the old man with dementia was really surprising. Instead of "not delivering because he was rude" or "because the area is dangerous" it being "not delivering because he wastes huge ammounts of money without noticing" is a bizarre, but pretty wholesome, change of pace.
It’s so common for people with dementia. It’s so sad. I’m very happy the pizza place stepped in and advocated for him. My coworker has a mother with dementia and she spends 10,000 a year on sweepstakes she sees on TV. It’s so sad
@@alexisgeiser4387 well my grandma got diagnosed with some sort of dementia a couple of days ago, its pretty light now but i hope she doesn't do this kind of stuff in a couple of weeks/months, but anyway, what's exactly dementia?
@@galobrasil6928 There are different types of dementia and it doesn't always affect everyone exactly the same way. The closest it can be described is that it manifests as being unable to understand and/or remember things which they could before. The sufferer might fail to recognise people they've known for their entire life, or remember people they've met in the past but fail to remember anyone new. They may become confused about where they live or how to get to places. Sometimes they'll become furious for seemingly no reason, although it's speculated that this happens because of the frustration they feel due to being unable to understand things or explain things, which they could have understood or explained if they didn't have dementia.
@@melkiorwiseman5234 you described it perfectly. and this is coming from someone who is taking care of a loved one with it and all i can describe it as is the most evil thing there is. that disease has cost me so much emotionally and its not even done.
@@kyraptor2521 Thank you for the kind words. I like to be right about things. Partly that's what appears to be a built-in desire for perfection, but I suspect that it's also my fragile ego wanting to be stroked. I can't imagine what it's like for you... or more to the point, I probably could but I don't want to because even imagining it is too painful for me. I consider myself fairly fortunate in that regard since I've never had a relative who got any form of dementia. Everything I know about it is what I've picked up by reading and listening.
When I bought my home, I found out it was blacklisted from all the local delivery places. I learned from the staff at a Dominos that the last owner was a coked up drug dealer who turned the garage into a drug lab. I distinctly remember that not being listed in the seller's disclosure forms. So I told my realtor and she called me back the next day with good news, the guy who sold the place had inherited it from his dad (the cook) and chose not to mention that the garage had been a drug lab. Rather than go through a huge lawsuit, they offered to return half my money. I gave 15% to my realtor and used the rest to pay off the balance of my mortgage.
I deliver for papa John’s. My scariest encounter was when I delivered to a farm in the middle of the night and was attacked my a turkey. Scared the crap out of me.
We had an old dude who ordered a pizza every Friday and answered the door in a bath robe and would let it "accidentally" fall open when the girls would show up. They got big tips, but we're so creeped out the owner said to only send the guys. I went once, he looked disappointed but paid and tipped me well. He stopped after the girls quit going.
the fact that a 5-6 year old would even go around saying what he said is even more shocking! what kind of place is this? do children there carry Glocks and SMGS?
"We had no-delivery neighborhoods". We all know what those looked like. That mom that disciplined her son, you know she has sleepless nights because of the hood mentality. She wants her son to be successful. I hope he doesn't become a statistic.
Back when I delivered pizzas, drivers were EXPLICITLY instructed not to enter anyone's backyard for any reason. We'd knock or call, and if nobody answered, we drove away. I only ever went into a backyard once. Rang the doorbell, the guy who answered was a middle-aged white guy who had no idea why I was on his doorstep - then has an "aha" moment and directs me to his backyard, says "the other family must have ordered it." Nervous as all hell, I approach the wide-open fence, and what do you know, there's a hand-built extra room attached to the back of his house, and there's like two Mexican families living out of it. One of them ordered, thanked me, tipped heavily.
I've delivered for the Postal Service and FedEx before. I'd see those signs and completely ignore them. The doorbell's broken? Good thing _knocking on the door_ still works...and I have a pretty strong door-knocking hand. No way am I going into anyone's back yard unless I absolutely must; that's usually where they keep the _dogs._
Haha! My neighbor has a sign, use back door. It's more of a side door, but the main purpose is (in my experience) so you don't smell how dank the living room is.😉
Delivery guys always have a doorbell experience at my house, none of ours actually work, so we had to get an actual bell. Tricks people every time so they just knock instead.
I delivered for Pizza the Hut in Texas in the late 1990s. One of the Apartment complexes was student housing for the local university. We always had trouble with people ordering pizza and then claiming to not have enough to fully pay. There was a bunch of jocks in one of the apartments who always got fresh and handsy with one of my coworkers (a really cute 4ft 10inch, 85lb asian girl). I got tired of hearing about this becaue nobody should have to put up with that crap. I took my coworker aside one evening and gave her this really small flashlight for her keyring. They called later that night for delivery and she took the order. She came back from the delivery with the biggest crap eating grin on her face. About an hour later we get a visit from the police wanting to speak with her. The idiots had grabbed her and tried to pull her into the apartment and she used her new "toy" that i had given her. The flashlight that i had given her was actually a 200,000 volt stun gun. The police left the resturuant and came back about 20 minutes later with 3 guys in hand cuffs for her to identify as the guys that tried to pull her into their apartment. They were all charged with attempted kidnapping and attempted sexual assault. The next monday we got a visit from the university officials with a formal appology and were told that every one of the jocks had been expelled from the university and kicked out of their housing. They also offered her a 4 year scholarship to the university as she was going to major in the medical field. She had been planning to go to a different less expensive uni but now was able to study in her home town.
I once got arrested shortly after ordering a pizza and the delivery driver arrived as we were all sitting out front in handcuffs and the cops were cool enough to actually let us eat the pizza then they took us to jail.
I love the fact the cops tagged along to the obviously sketchy order and not only stopped the robbery, but got the ordered pizza as a thank you. And to think it wouldn't have happened if the cops hadn't of come in to pick up their own order at the right time
what would have happened is that the OP at that time would have refused to deliver there as it's on their do not deliver list. But because the cops offered to tag along, he just went with it.
We had several 'do not sell to'. Two couples that would order massive orders, pay with a card then cancel payment. They did this to so many places they were banned from every single store in town.
No one is supposed to die in a car accident that's just wrong and here you are thinking I don't deserve pizza because you screwed up and died? This post is a joke
The guy is D E A D .. The pizza place can't do anything to help him -- -- BUT they can get someone else to deliver the pizza's (And life goes on for the living)
I remember a few. We'd give them nick-names. "Pineapple Dude" ordered 2 large Pepperoni and Double Pineapple pizzas 10 minutes to close, then complain we skimped on the Pineapple and demand refund, free pizzas, etc. Did it for 6 months. Then he threatened the GM, and on the list he went. "Wing Nut" ordered Plain wings with hot sauce on the side every day for months. Towards the end tried all the tricks to not pay. The last order was 70 wings. Had started ordering them sauced, then call and complain to get them free. So we put the sauce on the side. Driver came back 20 minutes later covered in hot sauce. Insta-Banned from ordering. Female drivers make the best tips, but get the most creeps.
Back when I used to deliver for an international pizza chain that mentioned Hatsune Miku in an American ad in a desperate attempt to get weebs to buy their pizza, we had three people get put on a no-delivery list. One was a woman who wasn't clear about her order, and refused to give more details. She paid with card, so we made and delivered the pizza anyways. A coworker goes to deliver it, and ends up with burns when the crazy lady opened the box, saw some of the toppings were incorrect, and flung the pizza back at him; the cheese was still molten, so of course it was hot enough to burn. He was given a few days off, police got involved, and the company sued the lady on his behalf and put her on a delivery ban. Another guy was, unfortunately, just in a bad neighborhood. He did nothing wrong; however, a prostitute approached a coworker while he was on the job and offered sex for the pizza. Coworker, fearing for his job, sped off. Management instituted that that entire neighborhood was a "deliver if you're brave enough" zone. I still delivered, because if there's one thing you notice when delivering food, lower class tips exceedingly well and the rich don't tip at all. I've seen some things delivering pizzas, including hand-built additions to the back of homes where you'd have to go into someone's backyard to deliver a pizza to one of the two other families living out back. I won't say which state this was in, but it was close to or along the border to Mexico, so don't be too surprised. The last guy was on a delivery ban because of me, personally. This morbidly obese dude who had clearly never once in his life taken a shower would order the same thing every time, and I remember it to this day; thin crust, triple pepperoni. We called it The Heart Attack because it was so oily that the crust was soggy every single time it got to his house, and it was soaking through the box, every single time. As for why he was banned, whenever he opened the door to his house, the absolute REEK of cat urine and body odor would hit you in a wave so thick that you'd gag. Some coworkers vomited, and he called to complain about it. When the manager realized that absolutely nobody wanted to deliver to this man, he delivered one last pizza personally - and decided that it was legitimately a health risk to stand on that man's doorstep. The only other stories I have to tell are about people who tried to rip off drivers; had a family in a trailer park who were clearly white trash wait until the very last minute to order delivery, then conveniently not have enough cash; they surrounded my car and tried not to let me leave in the hopes I'd get impatient and just give them the pizzas. Didn't have to have them banned because they never ordered from us again when I got back in my car and drove off with their pizza still in my passenger seat. You don't cough up the dough, you don't get the pizza. One last one; same kind of story as above, where I get to the house and nobody has money. Five VERY, VERY high teenagers, all around sixteen, three boys and two girls. They order three pizzas, and apparently were all under the impression that SOMEONE in their group was going to pay for it, without verifying who. They eventually cracked open a piggy bank, and paid for their order in quarters. At least they still tipped.
My dogs love pizza guys. When someone approaches our house they do the usual "vicious pit bulls guard this domain!" act until I say, "It's pizza!" Then they sit down and start wagging their tails. I always give them a little tiny piece of pizza as soon as it's in the door to keep up the positive association.
I worked at a pizza hut when I was in college and we banned an entire high school from getting orders. One friday night this school had ordered a ton of our $20 sheet pizzas, literally something like $500 worth and had us deliver it to their concession stand at their football field. Obviously we knew they were flipping the things for a few bucks a slice but no big deal. They ordered so much it took me 2 trips to get it all there. They didn't tip. At all. This was a private catholic school too. My manager was so pissed he blacklisted them.
I'm pretty immune to most things but stuff like that makes me feel like I need to steadily and methodically wipe out sections of the population. I still feel sick.
Companies that have policies against hiring women nowadays generally have a reason behind it. That is one hell of a good reason never to hire another female delivery driver.
I spent 8 years in the military. When I moved back home I was really tight on money, so I delivered pizza for a little while. The manager, obviously since they were the one who had hired me, knew I was ex-military and asked me to deliver to these two apartment complexes that the other drivers wouldn't go to because a lot of muggings and stabbings occurred there. The complexes, I later learned, were almost entirely MS-13. I agreed to make the deliveries as I had been in areas of Iraq that made a couple MS-13 apartment complexes look like a nice holiday retreat. On my first delivery to one of the apartments, this younger Hispanic guy answered, probably early 20's, covered in tattoos, socks pulled up, etc. He told me that apparently every other delivery place had blacklisted those complexes due to the amount of problems the drivers were having there. He thanked me and gave me a $20 tip on top of his $50 order because I had brought pizza for his daughters birthday party. I tried to tell him that wasn't necessary as it was only a couple blocks from the pizza place and hard times are hard, but he insisted.
The irony of this story is that I was injured while I was deployed. So had I really ended up in a fight or something, I doubt I would have been able to hold my own for long.
as rough as the entire situation of you both is, i'm sure you cross his mind from time to time and mean a lot to him. kudos for making that little kid's day
@@wesleytakahashi5334 yeah my sister carries pepper spray 2 tasers and a handgun in the car with a dash cam on front and back of a car. you can never be too safe my mother almost got raped on her first day in austin TX
@@clay4444 This is kind of a dumb sentiment. If you need a job to pay your bills, you're going to work at wherever will hire you. Most people aren't aiming specifically for those type of jobs; they're choosing based off of job availability and salary lol. Its naive of you to assume the women taking these jobs don't already know of the risks involved.
Oh I can answer that, though they aren't really "DND" anymore seeing as they both fucked up. You see, it's mostly girls in highschool that apply for delivery positions at our pizza place, and the owner has a daughter a little older than them who works there as well. Well these two gentleman, one well into his forties, the other in his *eighties* , got their rocks off by hitting on the girls. The aforementioned fuck ups are as follows. "Robe Guy" was the man in his forties who loved to answer the door in only a robe that would "slip open" and flirt with the girls. Well he did this to a 16 year old, which is very illegal. The eighty year old man asked a 17 year old girl if she would sleep with him... For twenty dollars. Also illegal. Both of them had the cops called on them by the Owner. Robe Guy is in jail, Old Guy is blacklisted by many of the delivery places in the area due to his actions and is on a strict probation. (Like I said, dude was 80 and on an oxygen tank. Doesn't excuse his actions but explains the outcome.)
We had a guy that was on the phone screaming at my GM "I WILL MURDER ANY EMPLOYEE I SEE SET FOOT ON MY PROPERTY!" because he was mad about his order being wrong. The police said "Do NOT deliver, do not even allow him to pick up the order." Our area supervisor said "deliver the pizza or youre fired." Great management so I left so fast.
The only place that I knew that was a caution when delivering was a biker gang clubhouse. I'm not sure how many people delivered there But I would. I'd walk in there; politely decline the free beers. Get the cash say hello to several folks and walk out. No problem.
Had a customer come in to place an order from the pizza place I work at. Total Karen. She came in and said "Last time I ate here the food was shit, maybe we'll do better this time right?" My co worker and I looked at each other and when she left we both laughed. My co worker told our boss(the owner) and he laughed it off too. We still served her with a smile, even though my boss was actually pissed at the lady.
Should have said, “If the food was shit, why’d you come back for seconds? Most people would just go somewhere else.” Reminds me of people who order in restaurants, clean their plate and then try to get a refund by saying the food was shit. If you can get away with it, tell them they must enjoy eating shit then, because they’re full of it. (Or just think it to yourself, so they don’t start giving _you_ shit. 😉)
Worked at a pizza place and we had a new, young manager. It was his second day, and a busy one at that. We were short on drivers which meant some people had to wait 40+ minutes on their food to arrive. One person called in and he answered. She was very rude and he hung up on her when it was clear she wasn't listening to anything he said anyway. Then she showed up at the store. Basically, she made a scene, yelling, cursing, threatened, so he said he'd call the cops. After a minute and while he's on the phone with the cops she starts to leave. I guess the cops told him to get a picture of her lisense plate because he followed her. When he came back in he said she had kids in the car, saw what he was doing and tried to run him over, laughing maniacally. No one else saw this and there wasn't a camera pointed that direction. Surprisingly his second day wasn't his last
@@minecraftmarioboy5012 not much, he still works there. We went to the police and she can no longer come in the store, banned. But she called in under another number and we still delivered to her
We ordered pizza so much and my mom was such a good tipper to the young college students, everyone knew us and fought over who got to deliver our food lol
When I was younger, my previous step-dad got our address put on a do-not-deliver list, can't remember which store, when he called in to order, then said at the end, "Is (Black Driver) delivering? ...No, I only ask because I feel bad when I don't tip him. I don't tip n******, you know." Like it was the most casual thing in the world. Very rightfully, the store cancelled his order and blacklisted our address.
what part exactly? fining an employee for an assault? or making them deposit in drop boxes? or refusing to blacklist addresses where an assault on an employee happens?
It depends most states illegal but some allow because you broke policy but in every state u can fire the person for not obeying the policy so its usualy u can keep ur job or u can pay the differnce
First real job I had was an independent pizza place. Had a lot of fun. The assistant manager taught me to make a phony order for a weird combination of toppings, so when it was never picked up, we could have it for lunch. Later, that guy broke into the restaurant after hours, stole the cash box out of the manager's office and fled the state.
There's this one chick I used to hang with and give long rides to for gas money, til she valued my time and gas less and less, and I was done putting up with her ungratefulness, and dropped her. (It takes A LOT for me to drop someone.) Lo and behold I start a delivery job at Dominos, where she was constantly trying to screw us over, and one time when I delivered to her, she and her boy toy tried getting me fired, yet failed. I refused to deliver to her after that. Later on she tried calling in on another delivery saying "The pizza was still frozen."........WE NEVER FROZE OUR PIZZA. Well, one of my coworkers lived with her, mainly because at that time it was with her or live in his Tahoe with a leaky sunroof. He ran back to her apartment raging mad as he nearly lost his discount over her shenanigans. I don't think she's blacklisted, but no more free food for her. Fast forward and I now work for Pizza Hut, as delivery as well. I've never seen her order from there while I worked here, but when asking my manager, they know of her too, so there's that. She's the reason both PH and Domino's debate not delivering to those projects sometimes. Funny enough, when she later desperately needed a ride, her new man who is acquaintances with me and whom I was still cool with, reached out to me for said ride. I said that I'd take him, but wanted nothing to do with her. He said that she said she was sorry and all. I said "she's only sorry because she needs something from me. She threw the word "harassment" at my job, and nearly got me fired for that false claim. I enjoy my job, and she messed up big time by trying to ruin it for me. She's SOL." She also has a son that's just under a year old, so I hope he isn't raised to pull these shenanigans too. She needs to grow up. Shes's pretty much on MY DND list, if not my workplace's. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
One guy I worked with rolled his car drunk so didn't have a car. Started asking me for rides to the bus stop. I started driving him. Then I dropped $300 into new tires, thought 'you're getting some benefit from this, why don't you pitch in?' I was afraid of how he'd react if I started asking for gas money; so, just cut him off. Cut him from mooching my cigarettes, too.
@@phlushphish793 She initially agreed to pay me, as we were friends. It was just her attitude change over time that killed it. She began to value my time and such less and less, paying less and less, and her attitude grew more and more short. I put up with it for far longer than I probably should have, but I don't like dropping people if I don't have to. It was eventually where, here I am with a car needing an oil change, shes paying JUST ENOUGH to cover gas, not even compensating for my time or maintenance. I don't ask much, just enough to cover gas and my time, and probably cheaper than an Uber. One time, I was voicing my concern about her attitude and lack of value for my time, and she started to get short with me about it, like "It's not that bad, not that big of a deal." Right, how dare I get upset, right? That escalated, until I dropped her at home. She counted out some ones, threw $9 at me (not even the promised $10, which given the time and distance, was bare minimum as it was), threw it at me, and said "There, bye." I told her "It's not even worth your friendship anymore, and your attitude is unacceptable given multiple chances and hints to correct it. I'm done, find another taxi." I drove off. a month or so later, after I was hired at Domino's, she pulled that stunt. Then, months later, apologizes only after she needs a ride again. I told her man "Sorry, but not with her." He hasn't said much to me since. Haven't heard from her since either. Good riddance. I don't need the negativity. I'll do anything for my friends, but I won't be treated like dirt.
I had a friend I drifted apart from after high school who stabbed a pizza man to death in a robbery. I’ve always tipped my drivers more since I realized it’s actually a dangerous job going to strangers homes.
Call some of the restaurants in that area BEFORE moving in, and just ask if they deliver/don't deliver to that area. Do it soon, and then do it again a few weeks before moving in. If they ask why you're asking, just explain "I've heard stories of some areas being placed on a Do Not Deliver list because they're dangerous, or there was a bad customer, or whatnot. Just want to be sure that I can still get pizza if I live here."
Have been in the food delivery business for almost 15 years..there are these apartments in our city where drivers were robbed, but we still delivered there. Until a female driver got robbed and raped there and it became a no delivery, pick up only place..this was 10 years ago, the apartments have been restored and that part of town has been gentrified and is now a nice part of town, still a no delivery place...the female recovered as much as possible and sued the restaurant because of the history of robberies and got a nice pay day.....
I once worked at a Domino's. Our Caller ID screen let us know about previous problem deliveries. One home came up as prepay cash only because of three previous calls from that number when they had denied ordering a pizza. One night the number called and the lady wanted a delivery. I explained to her the terms and she demanded to know why. I told her, well on *this date* and *this date* and *this date* we had orders from your number when they denied ordering the pizza - so all of your orders going forward are prepay cash only. I think she had to have a little chat about attempted theft of services with her teenager and his/her friends after that.
Pizza dude's at the front door, we open it and he goes "man it smells good in there" we threw him a 20 and had him lean in the door to hit the bowl lol. He said "hope you guys call next Friday!" Coughing walking away
We do, we’ve blocked off a whole street because our drivers have had multiple incidents there. Like people who didn’t order the pizza trying to pry it out of the driver’s hands and borderline assault. We have an area in town we don’t go to after dark for the same reason. There are also a few addresses where people have tried to shortchange the driver.
I been saying the same shit about 2 weeks ago with these dual ads. They was rare last year but umm they're every video now! And unskippable! Some even got the nerve to say something about not skipping the ad!
@John Contor Some ads begin before the video starts. If they're like 15-20 seconds I just close the video and open it again. Usually once is fine, sometimes you need to do it twice
10:34 - Worked at a pizza place with an owner who wouldn't develop a list either. He didn't listen to us when we told him about the really bad areas, got robbed himself, the drivers got robbed. One day he was actually shot and killed after trying to jump over the counter and chase the robbers.
I really like how they're doing things for delivery during this pandemic and I really like paying and tipping online. The delivery person brings the pizza, I open the door, I say thank you, and they leave.
Around 12:12 when they talk about the delivery driver that was homeless and had anger issues- the fact that he was having a bad day and really was like “nah” to the guy pulling a gun on him has me DYING.
I chased a guy 12 blocks one night that I caught literally trying to climb in the window of my GFs house at 2am. The first story made me think of that.
Let's see, I got plenty of stories to go around. I work at a local Dominos in Tampa. We had a woman coming in only to argue with us about her "late order". We warned her in advance that all of our drivers are on the road and her delivery was on route for another 45 minutes since we have 30 deliveries ahead of hers. We went as far as refunding her when she arrived even gave her a remake on her food FREE OF CHARGE. Mind you she kept changing up her story let alone demanded a full cash refund even though she paid with card even went as far as to yelling curses and death threats at us before punching at the sneeze guard at the front counter that almost toppled over and hit four of us who were up there; my manager included!! Long story short, we banned her from our franchise, so every branch she tries to order from are never serving her nor delivering to her address again. The customer may be "right", but we cannot and will not tolerate abuse at our store!
If ever you have a manager that won't believe you, record the act with your phone. Recording things is a life saver, when it comes to proving your innocence.
This is backwards from the asked prompt but i saw a show called Obsession Dark Desires & this lady was getting stalked, and the guy had her number & knew where she lived all of that. She changed her number and started staying at her moms- he found out her new number and where her mom lived- turns out it was the pizza guy
I was the closing driver for a pizza spot for 3 years straight, but there was one night I couldn't forget. A kid called my manager and wanted something to order something for less than 10 bucks, she tried soo hard to help this kid, working out the items he wanted, but the kid settled on, was adamant on a dessert piece and a medium pizza. That item alone made the order impossible to complete without the kid coming down to pick it up, and so the conversation slowly devolved. This took less than 15 minutes before the kid snapped and called calling my manager a bunch of names. She slammed the phone after he called her a whore and got a tad bit angry. Fortunately for us, I had memorized the address she punched in, it was apart of an apartment complex just off of the freeway. An order popped in and we both got started making it. The order contained an address, and i instantly recognized it, causing the manager, Kirstie to cancel it in an instant. Another phone call arrived, and i took it. A medium pizza and a dessert piece. I gave the customer on the other line a chance right up until the squeaker said that my manager was a filthy piece of shit. I stopped the call right there and then. For 30 minutes, that kid tried every avenue of approach but we shut all of it down, even when the kid claimed a free pizza that his friend had (turned out he had the money) but we just kept canceling the orders. The calls increased with frequency, with the kid threatening us, calling us names, to crying and asking why he could not get any food. we had little goodwill left for this kid, and the manager ripped him a new one in a professional matter. The calls stopped after that. This kid managed to land himself and the entire building of that apartment complex (1 of 10 buildings) into the no - go list. Whenever I delivered to that location, I always made sure to explain to people who live in that particular building why their orders are never accepted.
Back in the mid-2000s, the brother-in-law of someone who was in my extended family (by marriage) at the time was a pizza delivery guy. He got robbed and car-jacked at gunpoint by some teenagers in an otherwise okay neighborhood (neither good nor bad 'hood, just "okay"). What makes this story interesting is that #1, one of the teens used his own cellphone to order the pizza and was traced that way. #2, some of those same teens also car-jacked another friend (and neighbor) of ours in our apartment parking lot. At gunpoint too. It was his work vehicle for the limo/executive sedan company he drove for. The story I got was that the car was recovered (intact) and one of the teens was arrested because a sharp-eyed Police Officer spotted a teenager driving the "executive sedan" with an approximately 1¼ inch (30 mm) airport car service approval sticker on one of the rear windows. Another teen from the group was arrested because of the aforementioned cellphone. There was one other attempted car-jacking blamed on the same teens from the same week as the other two incidents (this other car had mysterious circular/oval holes in it with traces of lead around the circumference. Luckily the driver had no additional holes in him). AFIK, around here, teenagers cannot legally drive for limo/executive sedan companies (probably not taxi service of any kind either). The apparent visible youth of the driver and the tiny airport car service approval sticker made the Cop's "Spidey sense" go alarm bells. The big airport in our metropolitan area only allows taxis and car service vehicles to pick up paying customers if they meet certain criteria (age/model year, safety equipment including fire extinguisher, etc.), pass an inspection above and beyond the state annual inspection, and receive/display the aforementioned sticker. Picking up family/friends at the airport in any road-legal vehicle is allowed - only "for hire" vehicles require the additional vetting. I believe those teens got an all expenses paid vacation in an exclusive facility where pizza deliveries are not allowed. The Grey Bar Hotel.
my son is a pizza delivery driver. has worked there for 6 yrs. its a very small town..2k ppl. i asked if they have a list. he said ooohh ya. usually for non payers or constant bitchers. but one old lady like 80 old lady is on the list because she would come to the door in a nightie or less...after the 2nd time in 'less" they put her on the list. my son is 6"3 275-300 pounds so most ppl dont screw with him. he says he gets contact highs just from delivering some places.
@@computernerdinside he doesn't mind them either. but this little town is full if them. you drive by with the windows down and can smell it. said he went to deliver at a usual place. the older woman was sitting on the porch he took the pizza in for her and realized she was smoking a joint.. she was older and we assumed that she used it as medical even though its not legal here yet. he has older folks he delivers to that they trust him. so he brings in the pizza, and will even take a minute to get them a slice if they have trouble getting around. everyone loves him. 2 Christmass ago they churches got together and everyone in town, that could, pitched in and got him a nice sized gift card.and a really nice food and snack basket to say thank you for being so respectful, caring well just being a decent human that could be counted on to help when and where he could. especially with kids and older folks. edit for spelling
@@mordeys That's pretty cool of him! I be the best person I can be on my deliveries, as them people remember me, and hey, maybe I'll get a big tip next time. That and I love helping people.
@@computernerdinside i think everyone can be a hero. i have tried to teach my kids that. i bet you are a hero to someone. it doesn't take huge effort to be a hero. sometimes its 1 minute out of your day. or a simple sentence.. so I'm pretty sure you have been a hero to some little old lady or some little kid that is looked over by everyone and you laughed at his silly joke....
What gets me is that the female delivery driver was held for "days". Didn't the shop notice that she hadn't returned from that delivery? That she didn't clock out? That she didn't turn up for her next shift? Didn't she have friends or family who wondered why she hadn't come home?
Thankfully I know I'm not on any of them lists. If anything I'm on the "get this one first" list, because I always tip big on top of the delivery charge, and if the delivery guy just so happens to comment on the skunky/herby/marijuanaey smell wafting from the door, then they might just leave with a lil extra extra too. When I was in college, there was a pizza place a block away around the corner from my apartment, I could see it off my back porch, right into their kitchen and dining room. Their delivery charge was 2 bucks, and I always tipped 30-50% since I could have just as easily walked and got it myself, and short drives are murder on vehicles with the stop and go shit, and that's when I found out that the 2 delivery guys would race to get my order whenever I called in, since they would just spend the minute to walk it over to us. Those guys wound up saving an entire college during a blizzard too, because no one could get weed and we were all snowed in for 2 weeks. But I had a connect with the 1 delivery guy, who saved the day. Called everyone up who was hurting, and told them to "order a pepperoni with green sauce", and when asked what size, small was an 8th, medium was a quarter, and large was an ounce. As long as they paid the delivery guy a nice tip, they would walk it over with your herbals, since this was a small town and all. Not like they were going miles
Uh the Papa Johns delivery guy that got mugged and then had to pay the store. Uh yeah that is illegal as fuck. Don't ever pay a company like that and complain to your local labor board if they take it out of your check.
One of my coworkers was 16 and got off the phone with someone and was like "this guy was flirting with me and kept asking for my number". I saw that a call was coming in from the same guy and told her I would take it. Guy asked to talk to my coworker by name and by this time I was pissed and was like "sir she's underage, how can i help you?" He replies that that's okay and keeps asking to talk to her and I keep replying tersely "how can I help you?" He orders one (1) ranch cup and then asks me if I'm free to which I reply "I'm gay, did you need anything else?" He's stunned for a couple of seconds then proceeds to go "I can change that." So i hung up on him and told my manager. Fast forward like an hour later, the delivery driver (who is also a girl) who delivered to him told us about how he kept trying to get her inside his house and needless to say we blacklisted that address.
Here is an interesting story: One night I answer the phone at the pizzeria I work at. I take the phone order and the guys name and address pops up on the screen. On the bottom right hand side a note pops up saying "On the no delivery list, under no circumstances do we deliver to these people." I say unfortunately turn them away, but decide to write the name down on a piece of paper (you'll understand why in a bit) Thirty minutes later they call again and get a different employee. They give a different (fake phone number) and the same address. I look over the employees shoulder and say "We don't deliver there." and we have a funny idea. We take the order and the customer agrees to pay cash for the $100 order (shocking I know) and we call the number they gave us to verify it was indeed not them but a yoga studio. We laugh and put the receipt on the back burner. Over an hour later they call demanding where their food is, and we tell them we could not verify their phone number, so we checked the address and found we couldn't deliver to it. We couldn't call them to tell them we couldn't deliver to them cause the phone number they gave was clearly wrong.
I lived in one of these "no delivery neighborhoods" and it really fycking sucked, my family was like the only white family in a black ",projects area", I couldn't leave anything on my porch without it being stolen, literally anything from Amazon was stolen the minute it was left on our doorstep, even the an employee of the "management" signed for 2 tablets we bought, stole the tablets and quit the next day. No delivery place would ever deliver to us either because of the amount of times they were robbed doing it. Really fucking glad we live in a good neighborhood now...
For the thing about the guy that died while delivering the pizza, why would someone do this. “My food is late and idc if someone lost their life!” Damn man, why-
Ok but if they bashed his knee in while he was on the job the company has to pay any medical bills which could last the rest of his life because now he is disabled. If he had to pay 125 dollars (which i doubt) then big whoop because that company is going to have to shell out a whole lot more to him for the rest of his life. Thats the way insurance and on the job injuries go.
1:39 I was actually scared for the narrator for a second when I heard "The hell you think you're doing boy", as I thought it was gonna transition to, "You must be lost if you're coming to my neighborhood, you're gonna have to pay the toll" or something like that.
I had the same thing happened to me after I moved into the large apartment complex. I found this out the first time I tried to order a pizza after dark. I was told that this was because the complex didn’t have enough nighttime lighting. By the time I moved out it had gotten a lot worse, with the exception of Thermal Nuclear War, you name it and it had happened. It was so bad by that time that all of the office and maintenance staff, including the manager had quit. The owners didn’t care and sold it about a year later.
The rottweiler one. People who can't handle large dogs, or haven't trained them well enough, should not be allowed to have those dogs, legally. "love" won't stop them from biting and chasing people in those moments.
My entire town was on a pizza shops blacklist in the city. The owner took issue with some of our residents (rightly so because my town is full of racists) and refused deliveries. All orders from our town had to be carry out. I didnt find out until after highschool why.
When I started working delivering pizzas, the store had recently changed the delivery zone. If the person was close enough to the boarder we would take it. One night my manager asks me about how far the guy on the phone was from the boarder. I it was only about 5-7 minutes off the boarder. So I said I would take it.
The story about the delivery driver getting shot could have been my aunt’s ex-boyfriend. They came over to our house a couple times and he would always be creepy and verbally abusive towards my aunt. Then we went to visit my grandma and my aunt and cousins came over, but the BF wasn’t around. My grandma mentioned him and my aunt got so mad it caused an argument. My mom decided to take us home, and on the way we asked what happened. My mom told us the BF had shot a pizza delivery driver and was in jail; my aunt, who had been repeatedly physically abused, was still defending him. He was the father of my aunt’s twins.
The one where the neighborhood didn’t want to do wrong by the one guy willing to deliver pizza to them made me laugh harder than it should have. Kind of feels like a movie plot point where you have to gain some village’s trust in order to reach an objective.
In Valdosta we had an entire neighborhood that we put as a no go zone. One armed robbery, one stolen car, a group smashed all the windows and took all the pizzas from a driver while he was delivering, most of the callers pronounced street as “skreet”, they’d threaten a driver and just take the pizza. We just call blocked anyone who called from that area.
Sometimes it's amazing to see instances of actual, unironic racists. How the heck does somebody decide they want nothing to do with something based entirely on the skin color or ethnicity of the person that worked on it? Seems like such a petty thing to get hung up on.
You say that, and by all modern western standards it makes sense. But put yourself in any place of the world 1000 years ago and even most places now, people only want to affiliate with those they know and trust. Ethnic groups have been killing each other in wars throughout history. Its not an excuse to be racist but should really make you appreciate the timeline you live in as well as the place you live in where that's looked down upon. China will vilify you just for not being Han. Or throw you in a work camp if your religious. Modern day nazis.
Yeah, that's typically only seen with really old people, and people who have been secluded to one social group with very old conservative views and don't get out much. Most socialized people have the common sense to not outwardly express their racism, even if it's pretty strong.
I used to work at my local Pizza Hut, but I was a cook, not a driver. I was friends with one of the drivers who was new too. I was once working on the deep fryer when I noticed he was studying a map of our town with colored zones. I asked him what these colored zones mean and he said that non-colored areas are OK to deliver to, yellow zones are to follow the dotted lines as entry/exits, and reds we are to say we do carryout for if you feel uncomfortable driving in there. I remember that while I passed one of the inlets to this neighborhood across the highway a year before, they had a drug bust with barrels being rolled out by SWAT. That was one of the red zones. Fun times.
Why would anyone mess with a delivery person? Mate, I'm a lazy sloth, you deliver me food, I'd consider you my life saviour. Also, I was injured and recovery took a while, without delivery people, I would be in a whole load of trouble since I couldn't stand for too long. Don't fuck with people working jobs to make life a little easier.
Work at a gas station with a full kitchen. We have a one topping large pizza deal for $5.99. So we had this guy that would order a plain cheese then went over to our free Sandwich/hotdog topping bar (Onions, hot peppers, ex) and litterly took all the toppings and put them on his pizza. Turning his $5.99 pizza into a $15 one. He was asked a few times not to do that. But he kept doing it till we just stopped making him pizza. Didn't mind if he took like a few scoops of toppings. But he would litterly empty each topping. His pizza had to have been soggy and nasty with all that on it.
Honestly that's on you. Well not you personally. Gas station had free shit, he took free shit. Seems like the brass got pissy at clever people not wasting money
Two separate stories but one time I was delivering food to a house a 20 year old college student female invited me in as she had to count the money she went to the kitchen and came back completely naked I fell out on her floor (she has seen me before and thought I was hot and wanted to surprise me) Next story was I delivered to a house that ordered 8 pizzas in rough neighborhood at a house party they had taken the pizza paid me and tipped very well then I get blocked in and guns drawn by swat team and local pd apparently my car and uniform wasn’t enough to show that I was just delivering pizza and thought I was also delivering marijuana or meth
Currently a Driver for a franchise. There are plenty of people I wish we could black list or at least force them into a “carry-out only” One lady in paticular kept ordering and, like one of the other stoies in the vid, keeps claiming something is wrong and wants a refund. Now whenever she demands a refund she has to return the entire order to the store, not a single bite missing. When she asks for someone to come pick it up we twll her all the driver are busy and she has to return it herself if she wants that refund. She’s the only person we have to do this with.
I worked at a Pizza Hut that was really busy in Orlando, FL. the delivery guys nick named this one customer as "the poopy guy" and would practically draw straws for who made that delivery. That store would not put someone on the list unless they pulled a gun on you. Tip your pizza guys, they see some shit.
When I spent a year working delivery, there were 4 streets that were the main “nope” zones. Jay Bay Clifford Ward I tried hard to get “Weld” officially added to the list. I could refuse that street, but fuck was I bothered when someone else didn’t look at the sign that said “NO JAY NO BAY NO CLIFFORD NO WARD” and then had my handwriting in pen saying “NO WELD!!!!” Every once in a while someone would hear “we don’t deliver to that street” and would beg me to bring them food. If they sounded sincere or old, sometimes I’d make the exception. Those were the deliveries I put a knife in my pocket before I left my car, though. Of course, when I developed a crack problem a little while later, those were all streets I became familiar with. Funniest moment from my 5-ish month crack problem? I got a newer car after my grandma died, and a few weeks later, went to get some crack. Heard one guy asking another who I was and why I knew to buy there. Other guy goes “He used to have that red Chevy. He’s good money!” I have since left that city... but, without major changes, if I ever go back, I could easily find myself in an area where I could get drugs. Scary. Should anyone want to know, I’ve been clean for about a month, now that I’ve moved. Have had some pot with family, but haven’t touched crack again or anything stronger than pot. Moral of the story? Be careful what you do when you learn dangerous information... like where in town one can get drugs.
Congratulations on staying clean! And don't ever go back to that town. I've got friends and acquaintances in recovery, and I know that sometimes the geographic solution is the only one that works.
For that lady that wanted 200 sandwiches. Yeah. You don't get your food till you sign. I'll go back to my car and donate the food if need be. God I'm glad I picked up a trade and no longer have to deal with that bs
I swear people that cannot control their own dogs shouldn't be allowed to have children. I have always wondered why you need a license to sell lemonade but you can shit out kids without the government batting an eye.
How about when we ordered a Supreme pizza from the Hut, the driver drops it off, saying truly inappropriate things to a 13-yr old me (girl), we called to report him afterwards only because he then called our house trying to get my name. He would be "reported". And they had gotten the original order wrong in the first place. They sent along a new pizza with a credit to our address/number. The delivery driver was the same guy...who said bad things to my mom, called us repeatedly that night and said nasty things whenever I answered the phone. He was fired that night but he almost didn't made us change our number because of how much he called. Randomly. He never spoke to my dad or brother if they answered...just my mom, sister, and especially me. Also, my mom was awful in her last 10 years of life. She didn't get enough oxygen to her brain and she had serious narcolepsy which gave her delusions. She seemed like a crazy person and it made delivery places an issue. She would forget things... even the police were used to her phone calls. We were always trying to be there with her to be between her and the world as a buffer for others sensitivities because explaining brain injury and constant oxygen deprivation behavior is impossible. Why can't you get this adult to do what her doctor says?!... She thinks she only needs to do half of whatever they tell her to.
There's a seedy Motel 6 in my city and has become a regular place for addicts, pimps and prostitutes, and dealers to spend their time. It's across the street from a Taco Bell and Walmart, right next to the porno store and just down the street from a rundown strip joint. The rates are low and some rooms have garden tubs. No one will deliver to that motel bc of the activities that perpetuate within. Not even Grub Hub or Post Mates. Uber will take you through a drive thru and back though.
I love that the "customer is always right" thing is starting to fade. Reality hits Karens hard these days.
I remember working at Subway and instead of chanting the customer is always right, the managers would always remind us that we had a right to refuse service to people because there were some really bad people who’d show up (were talking people who would try and abuse us into caving to give them free food or discounts)
It's absolutely disgusting that it needs to fade
Yeah, when people just decided it means I can do and say whatever the hell I want it needs to go.
Businesses really coddled customers far too much and rewarded the worst behavior, and now the worst customers attempt to use social media to damage businesses. Management sets rules and makes employees enforce them, but immediately cave in the instant they are called. Stand firm, call the cops, and have the customer removed. Or change your ducking rules if you won't enforce them yourself.
It's a distortion of an actually very good saying: "The customer is always right about what they want."
Once had a cute girl deliver me burgers and she said thx for not opening the door naked
Apparently a lot of guys been opening the door naked
Poor girl
With the pandemic, a lot more people are working food delivery, and I've considered it. This is one of the reasons I won't do it.
Poor girl!
She should get a different job that doesnt sound worth it.
I wouldnt take minimum wage plus tips to stare at dongs no thnx
The one with the old man with dementia was really surprising. Instead of "not delivering because he was rude" or "because the area is dangerous" it being "not delivering because he wastes huge ammounts of money without noticing" is a bizarre, but pretty wholesome, change of pace.
It’s so common for people with dementia. It’s so sad. I’m very happy the pizza place stepped in and advocated for him. My coworker has a mother with dementia and she spends 10,000 a year on sweepstakes she sees on TV. It’s so sad
@@alexisgeiser4387 well my grandma got diagnosed with some sort of dementia a couple of days ago, its pretty light now but i hope she doesn't do this kind of stuff in a couple of weeks/months, but anyway, what's exactly dementia?
@@galobrasil6928 There are different types of dementia and it doesn't always affect everyone exactly the same way. The closest it can be described is that it manifests as being unable to understand and/or remember things which they could before.
The sufferer might fail to recognise people they've known for their entire life, or remember people they've met in the past but fail to remember anyone new. They may become confused about where they live or how to get to places. Sometimes they'll become furious for seemingly no reason, although it's speculated that this happens because of the frustration they feel due to being unable to understand things or explain things, which they could have understood or explained if they didn't have dementia.
@@melkiorwiseman5234 you described it perfectly. and this is coming from someone who is taking care of a loved one with it and all i can describe it as is the most evil thing there is. that disease has cost me so much emotionally and its not even done.
@@kyraptor2521 Thank you for the kind words. I like to be right about things. Partly that's what appears to be a built-in desire for perfection, but I suspect that it's also my fragile ego wanting to be stroked.
I can't imagine what it's like for you... or more to the point, I probably could but I don't want to because even imagining it is too painful for me. I consider myself fairly fortunate in that regard since I've never had a relative who got any form of dementia. Everything I know about it is what I've picked up by reading and listening.
When I bought my home, I found out it was blacklisted from all the local delivery places.
I learned from the staff at a Dominos that the last owner was a coked up drug dealer who turned the garage into a drug lab.
I distinctly remember that not being listed in the seller's disclosure forms.
So I told my realtor and she called me back the next day with good news, the guy who sold the place had inherited it from his dad (the cook) and chose not to mention that the garage had been a drug lab. Rather than go through a huge lawsuit, they offered to return half my money. I gave 15% to my realtor and used the rest to pay off the balance of my mortgage.
Nice!
That's some shit. Good for you though.

I deliver for papa John’s. My scariest encounter was when I delivered to a farm in the middle of the night and was attacked my a turkey. Scared the crap out of me.
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
Turkey farmers like pizza, too. But apparently the turkey are not as easily won over...
never fuck with turkeys. especially wild ones, those can fly and there will be like ten in one tree.
Makes me think of pets 2. My daughter ( three years old ) loves that turkey scene.
Between the beak and talons, turkeys can be mean nasty jerks sometimes
We had an old dude who ordered a pizza every Friday and answered the door in a bath robe and would let it "accidentally" fall open when the girls would show up. They got big tips, but we're so creeped out the owner said to only send the guys. I went once, he looked disappointed but paid and tipped me well. He stopped after the girls quit going.
I like how the mother from that neighborhood realized that He was the only one willing to deliver there and made her child apologize.
Same :)
the fact that a 5-6 year old would even go around saying what he said is even more shocking! what kind of place is this? do children there carry Glocks and SMGS?
"We had no-delivery neighborhoods". We all know what those looked like. That mom that disciplined her son, you know she has sleepless nights because of the hood mentality. She wants her son to be successful. I hope he doesn't become a statistic.

I drive for Uber Eats and have decided that if I see a “Front doorbell broken. Use back door.” Sign, I’m leaving the food and driving away.
Back when I delivered pizzas, drivers were EXPLICITLY instructed not to enter anyone's backyard for any reason. We'd knock or call, and if nobody answered, we drove away.
I only ever went into a backyard once. Rang the doorbell, the guy who answered was a middle-aged white guy who had no idea why I was on his doorstep - then has an "aha" moment and directs me to his backyard, says "the other family must have ordered it." Nervous as all hell, I approach the wide-open fence, and what do you know, there's a hand-built extra room attached to the back of his house, and there's like two Mexican families living out of it. One of them ordered, thanked me, tipped heavily.
@@macabremage6374 Thats actually very funny 😂
I've delivered for the Postal Service and FedEx before. I'd see those signs and completely ignore them. The doorbell's broken? Good thing _knocking on the door_ still works...and I have a pretty strong door-knocking hand. No way am I going into anyone's back yard unless I absolutely must; that's usually where they keep the _dogs._
Haha! My neighbor has a sign, use back door. It's more of a side door, but the main purpose is (in my experience) so you don't smell how dank the living room is.😉
Delivery guys always have a doorbell experience at my house, none of ours actually work, so we had to get an actual bell. Tricks people every time so they just knock instead.
I delivered for Pizza the Hut in Texas in the late 1990s. One of the Apartment complexes was student housing for the local university. We always had trouble with people ordering pizza and then claiming to not have enough to fully pay. There was a bunch of jocks in one of the apartments who always got fresh and handsy with one of my coworkers (a really cute 4ft 10inch, 85lb asian girl). I got tired of hearing about this becaue nobody should have to put up with that crap. I took my coworker aside one evening and gave her this really small flashlight for her keyring. They called later that night for delivery and she took the order. She came back from the delivery with the biggest crap eating grin on her face. About an hour later we get a visit from the police wanting to speak with her. The idiots had grabbed her and tried to pull her into the apartment and she used her new "toy" that i had given her. The flashlight that i had given her was actually a 200,000 volt stun gun. The police left the resturuant and came back about 20 minutes later with 3 guys in hand cuffs for her to identify as the guys that tried to pull her into their apartment. They were all charged with attempted kidnapping and attempted sexual assault. The next monday we got a visit from the university officials with a formal appology and were told that every one of the jocks had been expelled from the university and kicked out of their housing. They also offered her a 4 year scholarship to the university as she was going to major in the medical field. She had been planning to go to a different less expensive uni but now was able to study in her home town.
FUCK YEAH. Thank you for stepping in and helping one of us out

I once delivered to bank about 45 seconds after a robbery like so close after he left they were just locking the door as i walked up
That police officer sure played that lego game where a prisoner breaks out thanks to pizza
I once got arrested shortly after ordering a pizza and the delivery driver arrived as we were all sitting out front in handcuffs and the cops were cool enough to actually let us eat the pizza then they took us to jail.
I love the fact the cops tagged along to the obviously sketchy order and not only stopped the robbery, but got the ordered pizza as a thank you. And to think it wouldn't have happened if the cops hadn't of come in to pick up their own order at the right time
..and people want the police defunded.
@@ventexovakon2178 you can't judge that large of a group by the best of their actions. Nor the worst.
what would have happened is that the OP at that time would have refused to deliver there as it's on their do not deliver list. But because the cops offered to tag along, he just went with it.
We had several 'do not sell to'. Two couples that would order massive orders, pay with a card then cancel payment. They did this to so many places they were banned from every single store in town.
What card even lets you do that?
Nice to see those scumbags get theirs.

I remember a few. We'd give them nick-names. "Pineapple Dude" ordered 2 large Pepperoni and Double Pineapple pizzas 10 minutes to close, then complain we skimped on the Pineapple and demand refund, free pizzas, etc. Did it for 6 months. Then he threatened the GM, and on the list he went. "Wing Nut" ordered Plain wings with hot sauce on the side every day for months. Towards the end tried all the tricks to not pay. The last order was 70 wings. Had started ordering them sauced, then call and complain to get them free. So we put the sauce on the side. Driver came back 20 minutes later covered in hot sauce. Insta-Banned from ordering.

11:48 that homeless driver is an absolutely legendary madlad.
He is indeed. When you're in a 'homeless' situation, you'd be surprised at how little you care about society's bullshit norms and expectations.
Back when I used to deliver for an international pizza chain that mentioned Hatsune Miku in an American ad in a desperate attempt to get weebs to buy their pizza, we had three people get put on a no-delivery list.
One was a woman who wasn't clear about her order, and refused to give more details. She paid with card, so we made and delivered the pizza anyways. A coworker goes to deliver it, and ends up with burns when the crazy lady opened the box, saw some of the toppings were incorrect, and flung the pizza back at him; the cheese was still molten, so of course it was hot enough to burn. He was given a few days off, police got involved, and the company sued the lady on his behalf and put her on a delivery ban.
Another guy was, unfortunately, just in a bad neighborhood. He did nothing wrong; however, a prostitute approached a coworker while he was on the job and offered sex for the pizza. Coworker, fearing for his job, sped off. Management instituted that that entire neighborhood was a "deliver if you're brave enough" zone. I still delivered, because if there's one thing you notice when delivering food, lower class tips exceedingly well and the rich don't tip at all. I've seen some things delivering pizzas, including hand-built additions to the back of homes where you'd have to go into someone's backyard to deliver a pizza to one of the two other families living out back. I won't say which state this was in, but it was close to or along the border to Mexico, so don't be too surprised.
The last guy was on a delivery ban because of me, personally. This morbidly obese dude who had clearly never once in his life taken a shower would order the same thing every time, and I remember it to this day; thin crust, triple pepperoni. We called it The Heart Attack because it was so oily that the crust was soggy every single time it got to his house, and it was soaking through the box, every single time. As for why he was banned, whenever he opened the door to his house, the absolute REEK of cat urine and body odor would hit you in a wave so thick that you'd gag. Some coworkers vomited, and he called to complain about it. When the manager realized that absolutely nobody wanted to deliver to this man, he delivered one last pizza personally - and decided that it was legitimately a health risk to stand on that man's doorstep.
The only other stories I have to tell are about people who tried to rip off drivers; had a family in a trailer park who were clearly white trash wait until the very last minute to order delivery, then conveniently not have enough cash; they surrounded my car and tried not to let me leave in the hopes I'd get impatient and just give them the pizzas. Didn't have to have them banned because they never ordered from us again when I got back in my car and drove off with their pizza still in my passenger seat. You don't cough up the dough, you don't get the pizza.
One last one; same kind of story as above, where I get to the house and nobody has money. Five VERY, VERY high teenagers, all around sixteen, three boys and two girls. They order three pizzas, and apparently were all under the impression that SOMEONE in their group was going to pay for it, without verifying who. They eventually cracked open a piggy bank, and paid for their order in quarters. At least they still tipped.
My dogs love pizza guys. When someone approaches our house they do the usual "vicious pit bulls guard this domain!" act until I say, "It's pizza!" Then they sit down and start wagging their tails. I always give them a little tiny piece of pizza as soon as it's in the door to keep up the positive association.
I worked at a pizza hut when I was in college and we banned an entire high school from getting orders. One friday night this school had ordered a ton of our $20 sheet pizzas, literally something like $500 worth and had us deliver it to their concession stand at their football field. Obviously we knew they were flipping the things for a few bucks a slice but no big deal. They ordered so much it took me 2 trips to get it all there. They didn't tip. At all. This was a private catholic school too. My manager was so pissed he blacklisted them.
That's how -Mafia- the Papal States work -s- ...
The one story involving the female driver being kidnapped and violated for days what in the actual fudge
Yeah that one fucking scared me
I'm pretty immune to most things but stuff like that makes me feel like I need to steadily and methodically wipe out sections of the population. I still feel sick.
The literal hell man
Companies that have policies against hiring women nowadays generally have a reason behind it. That is one hell of a good reason never to hire another female delivery driver.
Serenade2461 damn straight. Im glad they actually care enough to like put people’s safety first.
I spent 8 years in the military. When I moved back home I was really tight on money, so I delivered pizza for a little while. The manager, obviously since they were the one who had hired me, knew I was ex-military and asked me to deliver to these two apartment complexes that the other drivers wouldn't go to because a lot of muggings and stabbings occurred there. The complexes, I later learned, were almost entirely MS-13. I agreed to make the deliveries as I had been in areas of Iraq that made a couple MS-13 apartment complexes look like a nice holiday retreat. On my first delivery to one of the apartments, this younger Hispanic guy answered, probably early 20's, covered in tattoos, socks pulled up, etc. He told me that apparently every other delivery place had blacklisted those complexes due to the amount of problems the drivers were having there. He thanked me and gave me a $20 tip on top of his $50 order because I had brought pizza for his daughters birthday party. I tried to tell him that wasn't necessary as it was only a couple blocks from the pizza place and hard times are hard, but he insisted.
The irony of this story is that I was injured while I was deployed. So had I really ended up in a fight or something, I doubt I would have been able to hold my own for long.
as rough as the entire situation of you both is, i'm sure you cross his mind from time to time and mean a lot to him. kudos for making that little kid's day
We thank you for your service. :)
This is making me so glad that my daughter doesn't deliver pizzas anymore!
Girls and women shouldnt work at gas stations at night and deliver pizza. It's so nieve to think those are safe jobs.
Young woman shouldn't do it. I actually used to carry my gun delivering in New Orleans.
@@wesleytakahashi5334 yeah my sister carries pepper spray 2 tasers and a handgun in the car with a dash cam on front and back of a car.

@@clay4444 This is kind of a dumb sentiment. If you need a job to pay your bills, you're going to work at wherever will hire you. Most people aren't aiming specifically for those type of jobs; they're choosing based off of job availability and salary lol. Its naive of you to assume the women taking these jobs don't already know of the risks involved.
i was just thinking about Archer then I saw your profile pic lol.
Oh I can answer that, though they aren't really "DND" anymore seeing as they both fucked up. You see, it's mostly girls in highschool that apply for delivery positions at our pizza place, and the owner has a daughter a little older than them who works there as well. Well these two gentleman, one well into his forties, the other in his *eighties* , got their rocks off by hitting on the girls. The aforementioned fuck ups are as follows. "Robe Guy" was the man in his forties who loved to answer the door in only a robe that would "slip open" and flirt with the girls. Well he did this to a 16 year old, which is very illegal.
The eighty year old man asked a 17 year old girl if she would sleep with him... For twenty dollars. Also illegal.
Both of them had the cops called on them by the Owner. Robe Guy is in jail, Old Guy is blacklisted by many of the delivery places in the area due to his actions and is on a strict probation. (Like I said, dude was 80 and on an oxygen tank. Doesn't excuse his actions but explains the outcome.)
We had a guy that was on the phone screaming at my GM "I WILL MURDER ANY EMPLOYEE I SEE SET FOOT ON MY PROPERTY!" because he was mad about his order being wrong. The police said "Do NOT deliver, do not even allow him to pick up the order." Our area supervisor said "deliver the pizza or youre fired." Great management so I left so fast.
The only place that I knew that was a caution when delivering was a biker gang clubhouse. I'm not sure how many people delivered there
But I would. I'd walk in there; politely decline the free beers. Get the cash say hello to several folks and walk out. No problem.
Had a customer come in to place an order from the pizza place I work at. Total Karen. She came in and said "Last time I ate here the food was shit, maybe we'll do better this time right?" My co worker and I looked at each other and when she left we both laughed. My co worker told our boss(the owner) and he laughed it off too. We still served her with a smile, even though my boss was actually pissed at the lady.
Should have said, “If the food was shit, why’d you come back for seconds? Most people would just go somewhere else.” Reminds me of people who order in restaurants, clean their plate and then try to get a refund by saying the food was shit. If you can get away with it, tell them they must enjoy eating shit then, because they’re full of it. (Or just think it to yourself, so they don’t start giving _you_ shit. 😉)
Worked at a pizza place and we had a new, young manager. It was his second day, and a busy one at that. We were short on drivers which meant some people had to wait 40+ minutes on their food to arrive. One person called in and he answered. She was very rude and he hung up on her when it was clear she wasn't listening to anything he said anyway. Then she showed up at the store. Basically, she made a scene, yelling, cursing, threatened, so he said he'd call the cops. After a minute and while he's on the phone with the cops she starts to leave. I guess the cops told him to get a picture of her lisense plate because he followed her. When he came back in he said she had kids in the car, saw what he was doing and tried to run him over, laughing maniacally. No one else saw this and there wasn't a camera pointed that direction. Surprisingly his second day wasn't his last
What happend after?
@@minecraftmarioboy5012 not much, he still works there. We went to the police and she can no longer come in the store, banned. But she called in under another number and we still delivered to her
We ordered pizza so much and my mom was such a good tipper to the young college students, everyone knew us and fought over who got to deliver our food lol
When I was younger, my previous step-dad got our address put on a do-not-deliver list, can't remember which store, when he called in to order, then said at the end, "Is (Black Driver) delivering? ...No, I only ask because I feel bad when I don't tip him. I don't tip n******, you know." Like it was the most casual thing in the world. Very rightfully, the store cancelled his order and blacklisted our address.
PSA: 16:25 is illegal in most if not all U.S. states, but some employers still try to get away with it.
Yeah. I noticed that, too.
what part exactly? fining an employee for an assault? or making them deposit in drop boxes? or refusing to blacklist addresses where an assault on an employee happens?
@@assassintwinat8 my guess is the forcing the employee who was robbed to pay the amount over the $25 limit. But that is just a guess
It depends most states illegal but some allow because you broke policy but in every state u can fire the person for not obeying the policy so its usualy u can keep ur job or u can pay the differnce

First real job I had was an independent pizza place. Had a lot of fun. The assistant manager taught me to make a phony order for a weird combination of toppings, so when it was never picked up, we could have it for lunch. Later, that guy broke into the restaurant after hours, stole the cash box out of the manager's office and fled the state.
There's this one chick I used to hang with and give long rides to for gas money, til she valued my time and gas less and less, and I was done putting up with her ungratefulness, and dropped her. (It takes A LOT for me to drop someone.) Lo and behold I start a delivery job at Dominos, where she was constantly trying to screw us over, and one time when I delivered to her, she and her boy toy tried getting me fired, yet failed. I refused to deliver to her after that. Later on she tried calling in on another delivery saying "The pizza was still frozen."........WE NEVER FROZE OUR PIZZA. Well, one of my coworkers lived with her, mainly because at that time it was with her or live in his Tahoe with a leaky sunroof. He ran back to her apartment raging mad as he nearly lost his discount over her shenanigans. I don't think she's blacklisted, but no more free food for her.
Fast forward and I now work for Pizza Hut, as delivery as well. I've never seen her order from there while I worked here, but when asking my manager, they know of her too, so there's that. She's the reason both PH and Domino's debate not delivering to those projects sometimes.
Funny enough, when she later desperately needed a ride, her new man who is acquaintances with me and whom I was still cool with, reached out to me for said ride. I said that I'd take him, but wanted nothing to do with her. He said that she said she was sorry and all. I said "she's only sorry because she needs something from me. She threw the word "harassment" at my job, and nearly got me fired for that false claim. I enjoy my job, and she messed up big time by trying to ruin it for me. She's SOL."
She also has a son that's just under a year old, so I hope he isn't raised to pull these shenanigans too. She needs to grow up.
Shes's pretty much on MY DND list, if not my workplace's.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Hope karma catches the bitch. I have a similar from the UK
One guy I worked with rolled his car drunk so didn't have a car. Started asking me for rides to the bus stop. I started driving him. Then I dropped $300 into new tires, thought 'you're getting some benefit from this, why don't you pitch in?' I was afraid of how he'd react if I started asking for gas money; so, just cut him off. Cut him from mooching my cigarettes, too.
@@phlushphish793 She initially agreed to pay me, as we were friends. It was just her attitude change over time that killed it. She began to value my time and such less and less, paying less and less, and her attitude grew more and more short. I put up with it for far longer than I probably should have, but I don't like dropping people if I don't have to. It was eventually where, here I am with a car needing an oil change, shes paying JUST ENOUGH to cover gas, not even compensating for my time or maintenance. I don't ask much, just enough to cover gas and my time, and probably cheaper than an Uber. One time, I was voicing my concern about her attitude and lack of value for my time, and she started to get short with me about it, like "It's not that bad, not that big of a deal." Right, how dare I get upset, right? That escalated, until I dropped her at home. She counted out some ones, threw $9 at me (not even the promised $10, which given the time and distance, was bare minimum as it was), threw it at me, and said "There, bye." I told her "It's not even worth your friendship anymore, and your attitude is unacceptable given multiple chances and hints to correct it. I'm done, find another taxi." I drove off. a month or so later, after I was hired at Domino's, she pulled that stunt. Then, months later, apologizes only after she needs a ride again. I told her man "Sorry, but not with her." He hasn't said much to me since. Haven't heard from her since either. Good riddance. I don't need the negativity. I'll do anything for my friends, but I won't be treated like dirt.
I had a friend I drifted apart from after high school who stabbed a pizza man to death in a robbery.
I’ve always tipped my drivers more since I realized it’s actually a dangerous job going to strangers homes.

I hope whatever low-income apartment complex I move into next year does food deliveries.
Call some of the restaurants in that area BEFORE moving in, and just ask if they deliver/don't deliver to that area. Do it soon, and then do it again a few weeks before moving in. If they ask why you're asking, just explain "I've heard stories of some areas being placed on a Do Not Deliver list because they're dangerous, or there was a bad customer, or whatnot. Just want to be sure that I can still get pizza if I live here."
Have been in the food delivery business for almost 15 years..there are these apartments in our city where drivers were robbed, but we still delivered there. Until a female driver got robbed and raped there and it became a no delivery, pick up only place..this was 10 years ago, the apartments have been restored and that part of town has been gentrified and is now a nice part of town, still a no delivery place...the female recovered as much as possible and sued the restaurant because of the history of robberies and got a nice pay day.....
I once worked at a Domino's. Our Caller ID screen let us know about previous problem deliveries. One home came up as prepay cash only because of three previous calls from that number when they had denied ordering a pizza.
One night the number called and the lady wanted a delivery. I explained to her the terms and she demanded to know why. I told her, well on *this date* and *this date* and *this date* we had orders from your number when they denied ordering the pizza - so all of your orders going forward are prepay cash only.
I think she had to have a little chat about attempted theft of services with her teenager and his/her friends after that.
Pizza dude's at the front door, we open it and he goes "man it smells good in there" we threw him a 20 and had him lean in the door to hit the bowl lol. He said "hope you guys call next Friday!" Coughing walking away
We do, we’ve blocked off a whole street because our drivers have had multiple incidents there. Like people who didn’t order the pizza trying to pry it out of the driver’s hands and borderline assault. We have an area in town we don’t go to after dark for the same reason. There are also a few addresses where people have tried to shortchange the driver.

10:34 - Worked at a pizza place with an owner who wouldn't develop a list either. He didn't listen to us when we told him about the really bad areas, got robbed himself, the drivers got robbed. One day he was actually shot and killed after trying to jump over the counter and chase the robbers.
I really like how they're doing things for delivery during this pandemic and I really like paying and tipping online. The delivery person brings the pizza, I open the door, I say thank you, and they leave.
Around 12:12 when they talk about the delivery driver that was homeless and had anger issues- the fact that he was having a bad day and really was like “nah” to the guy pulling a gun on him has me DYING.
I chased a guy 12 blocks one night that I caught literally trying to climb in the window of my GFs house at 2am. The first story made me think of that.

Let's see, I got plenty of stories to go around.
I work at a local Dominos in Tampa.
We had a woman coming in only to argue with us about her "late order". We warned her in advance that all of our drivers are on the road and her delivery was on route for another 45 minutes since we have 30 deliveries ahead of hers. We went as far as refunding her when she arrived even gave her a remake on her food FREE OF CHARGE. Mind you she kept changing up her story let alone demanded a full cash refund even though she paid with card even went as far as to yelling curses and death threats at us before punching at the sneeze guard at the front counter that almost toppled over and hit four of us who were up there; my manager included!!
Long story short, we banned her from our franchise, so every branch she tries to order from are never serving her nor delivering to her address again.
The customer may be "right", but we cannot and will not tolerate abuse at our store!
If ever you have a manager that won't believe you, record the act with your phone. Recording things is a life saver, when it comes to proving your innocence.
Problem is, there's places where it's illegal to record someone without their consent, even if they're committing a crime.
This is backwards from the asked prompt but i saw a show called Obsession Dark Desires & this lady was getting stalked, and the guy had her number & knew where she lived all of that. She changed her number and started staying at her moms- he found out her new number and where her mom lived- turns out it was the pizza guy
I was the closing driver for a pizza spot for 3 years straight, but there was one night I couldn't forget.
A kid called my manager and wanted something to order something for less than 10 bucks, she tried soo hard to help this kid, working out the items he wanted, but the kid settled on, was adamant on a dessert piece and a medium pizza. That item alone made the order impossible to complete without the kid coming down to pick it up, and so the conversation slowly devolved. This took less than 15 minutes before the kid snapped and called calling my manager a bunch of names. She slammed the phone after he called her a whore and got a tad bit angry.
Fortunately for us, I had memorized the address she punched in, it was apart of an apartment complex just off of the freeway.
An order popped in and we both got started making it. The order contained an address, and i instantly recognized it, causing the manager, Kirstie to cancel it in an instant.
Another phone call arrived, and i took it. A medium pizza and a dessert piece. I gave the customer on the other line a chance right up until the squeaker said that my manager was a filthy piece of shit. I stopped the call right there and then. For 30 minutes, that kid tried every avenue of approach but we shut all of it down, even when the kid claimed a free pizza that his friend had (turned out he had the money) but we just kept canceling the orders. The calls increased with frequency, with the kid threatening us, calling us names, to crying and asking why he could not get any food. we had little goodwill left for this kid, and the manager ripped him a new one in a professional matter. The calls stopped after that.
This kid managed to land himself and the entire building of that apartment complex (1 of 10 buildings) into the no - go list. Whenever I delivered to that location, I always made sure to explain to people who live in that particular building why their orders are never accepted.
Back in the mid-2000s, the brother-in-law of someone who was in my extended family (by marriage) at the time was a pizza delivery guy. He got robbed and car-jacked at gunpoint by some teenagers in an otherwise okay neighborhood (neither good nor bad 'hood, just "okay"). What makes this story interesting is that #1, one of the teens used his own cellphone to order the pizza and was traced that way. #2, some of those same teens also car-jacked another friend (and neighbor) of ours in our apartment parking lot. At gunpoint too. It was his work vehicle for the limo/executive sedan company he drove for.
The story I got was that the car was recovered (intact) and one of the teens was arrested because a sharp-eyed Police Officer spotted a teenager driving the "executive sedan" with an approximately 1¼ inch (30 mm) airport car service approval sticker on one of the rear windows. Another teen from the group was arrested because of the aforementioned cellphone. There was one other attempted car-jacking blamed on the same teens from the same week as the other two incidents (this other car had mysterious circular/oval holes in it with traces of lead around the circumference. Luckily the driver had no additional holes in him).
AFIK, around here, teenagers cannot legally drive for limo/executive sedan companies (probably not taxi service of any kind either). The apparent visible youth of the driver and the tiny airport car service approval sticker made the Cop's "Spidey sense" go alarm bells. The big airport in our metropolitan area only allows taxis and car service vehicles to pick up paying customers if they meet certain criteria (age/model year, safety equipment including fire extinguisher, etc.), pass an inspection above and beyond the state annual inspection, and receive/display the aforementioned sticker. Picking up family/friends at the airport in any road-legal vehicle is allowed - only "for hire" vehicles require the additional vetting.
I believe those teens got an all expenses paid vacation in an exclusive facility where pizza deliveries are not allowed. The Grey Bar Hotel.

my son is a pizza delivery driver. has worked there for 6 yrs. its a very small town..2k ppl. i asked if they have a list. he said ooohh ya. usually for non payers or constant bitchers. but one old lady like 80 old lady is on the list because she would come to the door in a nightie or less...after the 2nd time in 'less" they put her on the list. my son is 6"3 275-300 pounds so most ppl dont screw with him. he says he gets contact highs just from delivering some places.
I usually never mind the potheads, as they tip well usually. Always hungry.
@@computernerdinside he doesn't mind them either. but this little town is full if them. you drive by with the windows down and can smell it. said he went to deliver at a usual place. the older woman was sitting on the porch he took the pizza in for her and realized she was smoking a joint.. she was older and we assumed that she used it as medical even though its not legal here yet. he has older folks he delivers to that they trust him. so he brings in the pizza, and will even take a minute to get them a slice if they have trouble getting around. everyone loves him. 2 Christmass ago they churches got together and everyone in town, that could, pitched in and got him a nice sized gift card.and a really nice food and snack basket to say thank you for being so respectful, caring well just being a decent human that could be counted on to help when and where he could. especially with kids and older folks.

What gets me is that the female delivery driver was held for "days". Didn't the shop notice that she hadn't returned from that delivery? That she didn't clock out? That she didn't turn up for her next shift? Didn't she have friends or family who wondered why she hadn't come home?
They probably did since the police were on the lookout for her car. They probably couldn't find the guys.
Thankfully I know I'm not on any of them lists. If anything I'm on the "get this one first" list, because I always tip big on top of the delivery charge, and if the delivery guy just so happens to comment on the skunky/herby/marijuanaey smell wafting from the door, then they might just leave with a lil extra extra too.
When I was in college, there was a pizza place a block away around the corner from my apartment, I could see it off my back porch, right into their kitchen and dining room.
Their delivery charge was 2 bucks, and I always tipped 30-50% since I could have just as easily walked and got it myself, and short drives are murder on vehicles with the stop and go shit, and that's when I found out that the 2 delivery guys would race to get my order whenever I called in, since they would just spend the minute to walk it over to us.
Those guys wound up saving an entire college during a blizzard too, because no one could get weed and we were all snowed in for 2 weeks. But I had a connect with the 1 delivery guy, who saved the day. Called everyone up who was hurting, and told them to "order a pepperoni with green sauce", and when asked what size, small was an 8th, medium was a quarter, and large was an ounce. As long as they paid the delivery guy a nice tip, they would walk it over with your herbals, since this was a small town and all. Not like they were going miles
Uh the Papa Johns delivery guy that got mugged and then had to pay the store. Uh yeah that is illegal as fuck. Don't ever pay a company like that and complain to your local labor board if they take it out of your check.
One of my coworkers was 16 and got off the phone with someone and was like "this guy was flirting with me and kept asking for my number". I saw that a call was coming in from the same guy and told her I would take it. Guy asked to talk to my coworker by name and by this time I was pissed and was like "sir she's underage, how can i help you?" He replies that that's okay and keeps asking to talk to her and I keep replying tersely "how can I help you?" He orders one (1) ranch cup and then asks me if I'm free to which I reply "I'm gay, did you need anything else?" He's stunned for a couple of seconds then proceeds to go "I can change that." So i hung up on him and told my manager.
Fast forward like an hour later, the delivery driver (who is also a girl) who delivered to him told us about how he kept trying to get her inside his house and needless to say we blacklisted that address.
Omg, Sacramento, CA, I grew up around there....hoooo boy, that's a place. No one gonna fuck with that delivery person ever again 🤣
Here is an interesting story:
One night I answer the phone at the pizzeria I work at. I take the phone order and the guys name and address pops up on the screen. On the bottom right hand side a note pops up saying "On the no delivery list, under no circumstances do we deliver to these people." I say unfortunately turn them away, but decide to write the name down on a piece of paper (you'll understand why in a bit)
Thirty minutes later they call again and get a different employee. They give a different (fake phone number) and the same address. I look over the employees shoulder and say "We don't deliver there." and we have a funny idea. We take the order and the customer agrees to pay cash for the $100 order (shocking I know) and we call the number they gave us to verify it was indeed not them but a yoga studio. We laugh and put the receipt on the back burner.
Over an hour later they call demanding where their food is, and we tell them we could not verify their phone number, so we checked the address and found we couldn't deliver to it. We couldn't call them to tell them we couldn't deliver to them cause the phone number they gave was clearly wrong.
I just realized I've never heard "pizza girl" before today
Yoo you are right. Never in my 18 years have I ever seen a pizza girl!
My whole town consist of pizza girl no bois allowed other than late teen pizza girls for some reason
I lived in one of these "no delivery neighborhoods" and it really fycking sucked, my family was like the only white family in a black ",projects area", I couldn't leave anything on my porch without it being stolen, literally anything from Amazon was stolen the minute it was left on our doorstep, even the an employee of the "management" signed for 2 tablets we bought, stole the tablets and quit the next day. No delivery place would ever deliver to us either because of the amount of times they were robbed doing it. Really fucking glad we live in a good neighborhood now...
For the thing about the guy that died while delivering the pizza, why would someone do this. “My food is late and idc if someone lost their life!” Damn man, why-
I always tip 50% on my pizza orders. These are kids trying to work through high school.
Keep in mind modern soft body armor was invented by a Detroit Pizza delivery guy.
Ok but if they bashed his knee in while he was on the job the company has to pay any medical bills which could last the rest of his life because now he is disabled. If he had to pay 125 dollars (which i doubt) then big whoop because that company is going to have to shell out a whole lot more to him for the rest of his life. Thats the way insurance and on the job injuries go.
1:39 I was actually scared for the narrator for a second when I heard "The hell you think you're doing boy", as I thought it was gonna transition to, "You must be lost if you're coming to my neighborhood, you're gonna have to pay the toll" or something like that.
I feel like I’m the only person who has never had pizza delivered in my whole life.
10:44 I quit my job amd report the manager because the job isn't worth your life.
I had the same thing happened to me after I moved into the large apartment complex. I found this out the first time I tried to order a pizza after dark. I was told that this was because the complex didn’t have enough nighttime lighting. By the time I moved out it had gotten a lot worse, with the exception of Thermal Nuclear War, you name it and it had happened. It was so bad by that time that all of the office and maintenance staff, including the manager had quit. The owners didn’t care and sold it about a year later.
The rottweiler one.
People who can't handle large dogs, or haven't trained them well enough, should not be allowed to have those dogs, legally.
"love" won't stop them from biting and chasing people in those moments.
The pizza delivery story with the attack dogs were pretty hilarious ngl .
the really bad one is inside wtf then a third dog bites the manager 😂😂😂
Why have 3 dogs that bite with no warning or reason?!?!
My entire town was on a pizza shops blacklist in the city. The owner took issue with some of our residents (rightly so because my town is full of racists) and refused deliveries. All orders from our town had to be carry out. I didnt find out until after highschool why.
Plot twist: Your town is the headquarters of the KKK.
God damn that first one. Scary man to be chasing a freaking car. What a king.
if a dog attacks you unprovoked, you have the rights to attack it back, regardless of wether you own it or not
You always have the right to defend yourself dosent matter if it's a human or animal you are fighting
4:49 R.I.P. that driver. :(
The most pressing question, however, is the origin of the thumbnail.
Yeah these Reddit videos always have the most ridiculous click bait thumbnails.
Isn't it negaoryx
@@isaacj.7989 is it?
@@isaacj.7989 I don't think so, I can't find anything like that from her

Eh, a lot of streaming thots call for pizza just to surprise the guy with naked body. Rarely something follows tho
When I started working delivering pizzas, the store had recently changed the delivery zone. If the person was close enough to the boarder we would take it. One night my manager asks me about how far the guy on the phone was from the boarder. I it was only about 5-7 minutes off the boarder. So I said I would take it.
Every restaurant delivers now.....Thanks, Covid-19.
The story about the delivery driver getting shot could have been my aunt’s ex-boyfriend. They came over to our house a couple times and he would always be creepy and verbally abusive towards my aunt. Then we went to visit my grandma and my aunt and cousins came over, but the BF wasn’t around. My grandma mentioned him and my aunt got so mad it caused an argument. My mom decided to take us home, and on the way we asked what happened. My mom told us the BF had shot a pizza delivery driver and was in jail; my aunt, who had been repeatedly physically abused, was still defending him. He was the father of my aunt’s twins.
The one where the neighborhood didn’t want to do wrong by the one guy willing to deliver pizza to them made me laugh harder than it should have.
Kind of feels like a movie plot point where you have to gain some village’s trust in order to reach an objective.
In Valdosta we had an entire neighborhood that we put as a no go zone. One armed robbery, one stolen car, a group smashed all the windows and took all the pizzas from a driver while he was delivering, most of the callers pronounced street as “skreet”, they’d threaten a driver and just take the pizza. We just call blocked anyone who called from that area.
Sometimes it's amazing to see instances of actual, unironic racists.
How the heck does somebody decide they want nothing to do with something based entirely on the skin color or ethnicity of the person that worked on it?
Seems like such a petty thing to get hung up on.
You say that, and by all modern western standards it makes sense. But put yourself in any place of the world 1000 years ago and even most places now, people only want to affiliate with those they know and trust. Ethnic groups have been killing each other in wars throughout history. Its not an excuse to be racist but should really make you appreciate the timeline you live in as well as the place you live in where that's looked down upon. China will vilify you just for not being Han. Or throw you in a work camp if your religious. Modern day nazis.
Yeah, that's typically only seen with really old people, and people who have been secluded to one social group with very old conservative views and don't get out much. Most socialized people have the common sense to not outwardly express their racism, even if it's pretty strong.
I used to work at my local Pizza Hut, but I was a cook, not a driver. I was friends with one of the drivers who was new too. I was once working on the deep fryer when I noticed he was studying a map of our town with colored zones. I asked him what these colored zones mean and he said that non-colored areas are OK to deliver to, yellow zones are to follow the dotted lines as entry/exits, and reds we are to say we do carryout for if you feel uncomfortable driving in there. I remember that while I passed one of the inlets to this neighborhood across the highway a year before, they had a drug bust with barrels being rolled out by SWAT. That was one of the red zones. Fun times.
the store making you pay for someone stealing from you is illegal...
Why would anyone mess with a delivery person? Mate, I'm a lazy sloth, you deliver me food, I'd consider you my life saviour. Also, I was injured and recovery took a while, without delivery people, I would be in a whole load of trouble since I couldn't stand for too long. Don't fuck with people working jobs to make life a little easier.
Work at a gas station with a full kitchen. We have a one topping large pizza deal for $5.99. So we had this guy that would order a plain cheese then went over to our free Sandwich/hotdog topping bar (Onions, hot peppers, ex) and litterly took all the toppings and put them on his pizza. Turning his $5.99 pizza into a $15 one. He was asked a few times not to do that. But he kept doing it till we just stopped making him pizza. Didn't mind if he took like a few scoops of toppings. But he would litterly empty each topping. His pizza had to have been soggy and nasty with all that on it.
Honestly that's on you. Well not you personally. Gas station had free shit, he took free shit. Seems like the brass got pissy at clever people not wasting money
If you are good at something, bever do it for free.
@@steelbear2063 , those toppings were free for hot dogs; not pizza. That was stealing.
Two separate stories but one time I was delivering food to a house a 20 year old college student female invited me in as she had to count the money she went to the kitchen and came back completely naked I fell out on her floor (she has seen me before and thought I was hot and wanted to surprise me)
Next story was I delivered to a house that ordered 8 pizzas in rough neighborhood at a house party they had taken the pizza paid me and tipped very well then I get blocked in and guns drawn by swat team and local pd apparently my car and uniform wasn’t enough to show that I was just delivering pizza and thought I was also delivering marijuana or meth
One has to either do math(s) or meth... You do math, don't you? :)
Currently a Driver for a franchise. There are plenty of people I wish we could black list or at least force them into a “carry-out only” One lady in paticular kept ordering and, like one of the other stoies in the vid, keeps claiming something is wrong and wants a refund. Now whenever she demands a refund she has to return the entire order to the store, not a single bite missing. When she asks for someone to come pick it up we twll her all the driver are busy and she has to return it herself if she wants that refund. She’s the only person we have to do this with.
I worked at a Pizza Hut that was really busy in Orlando, FL. the delivery guys nick named this one customer as "the poopy guy" and would practically draw straws for who made that delivery. That store would not put someone on the list unless they pulled a gun on you. Tip your pizza guys, they see some shit.
He was a real *FLORIDA MAN* ...
When I spent a year working delivery, there were 4 streets that were the main “nope” zones.
Jay
Bay
Clifford
Ward
I tried hard to get “Weld” officially added to the list. I could refuse that street, but fuck was I bothered when someone else didn’t look at the sign that said “NO JAY NO BAY NO CLIFFORD NO WARD” and then had my handwriting in pen saying “NO WELD!!!!”
Every once in a while someone would hear “we don’t deliver to that street” and would beg me to bring them food. If they sounded sincere or old, sometimes I’d make the exception. Those were the deliveries I put a knife in my pocket before I left my car, though.
Of course, when I developed a crack problem a little while later, those were all streets I became familiar with.
Funniest moment from my 5-ish month crack problem?
I got a newer car after my grandma died, and a few weeks later, went to get some crack. Heard one guy asking another who I was and why I knew to buy there.
Other guy goes “He used to have that red Chevy. He’s good money!”
I have since left that city... but, without major changes, if I ever go back, I could easily find myself in an area where I could get drugs. Scary.
Should anyone want to know, I’ve been clean for about a month, now that I’ve moved. Have had some pot with family, but haven’t touched crack again or anything stronger than pot.
Moral of the story? Be careful what you do when you learn dangerous information... like where in town one can get drugs.
Congratulations on staying clean! And don't ever go back to that town. I've got friends and acquaintances in recovery, and I know that sometimes the geographic solution is the only one that works.
For that lady that wanted 200 sandwiches. Yeah. You don't get your food till you sign. I'll go back to my car and donate the food if need be. God I'm glad I picked up a trade and no longer have to deal with that bs
Pizza delivery is a dangerous job mate!
"Challenging work, outdoors. I guarantee that you won't get hungry. As long as there's 2 people in the planet, someone would want someone's pizza."
I swear people that cannot control their own dogs shouldn't be allowed to have children. I have always wondered why you need a license to sell lemonade but you can shit out kids without the government batting an eye.
When they say "they'll tip big" for going outside your delivery area, they don't tip.
How about when we ordered a Supreme pizza from the Hut, the driver drops it off, saying truly inappropriate things to a 13-yr old me (girl), we called to report him afterwards only because he then called our house trying to get my name. He would be "reported". And they had gotten the original order wrong in the first place. They sent along a new pizza with a credit to our address/number. The delivery driver was the same guy...who said bad things to my mom, called us repeatedly that night and said nasty things whenever I answered the phone. He was fired that night but he almost didn't made us change our number because of how much he called. Randomly. He never spoke to my dad or brother if they answered...just my mom, sister, and especially me.
Also, my mom was awful in her last 10 years of life. She didn't get enough oxygen to her brain and she had serious narcolepsy which gave her delusions. She seemed like a crazy person and it made delivery places an issue. She would forget things... even the police were used to her phone calls. We were always trying to be there with her to be between her and the world as a buffer for others sensitivities because explaining brain injury and constant oxygen deprivation behavior is impossible. Why can't you get this adult to do what her doctor says?!... She thinks she only needs to do half of whatever they tell her to.
Watching this while waiting for my pizza to get here
1:52 respect your pizza delivery guy/gal.
A like for the Arnold Schwarzenegger chasing Jonah Hill 😂😂😂
Someone needs to set that up.
@@jimmyseaver3647 yes
There's a seedy Motel 6 in my city and has become a regular place for addicts, pimps and prostitutes, and dealers to spend their time. It's across the street from a Taco Bell and Walmart, right next to the porno store and just down the street from a rundown strip joint. The rates are low and some rooms have garden tubs. No one will deliver to that motel bc of the activities that perpetuate within. Not even Grub Hub or Post Mates. Uber will take you through a drive thru and back though.
