Sounds stupid (thus I'm here) but here me out. Where I live, we don't have numbered streets. We have all these stupid names like Palm Estates, Sea breeze Ave, Cocowood Ct, Lake Wilson Rd, etc.
I don't even know names of roads 1/4th mile from my house. Did driver's have a giant map of the city, like you see 80's movies joking about when making cross country drives? Were they just expected to learn all the roads?
I mean a 1990's pizza delivery guy at least did one delivery at a time. I know they had maps and stayed in smaller areas near their store. UPS/FEDEX does any address period, in a larger area.
Hey, I'm debating quiting my retail job and working as a pizza delivery driver. My current job pays minimum wage (16.75CAD) and dominos pays 23-28CAD. i have a mazda 3, good on gas. although im getting a truck soon, but i plan to keep the mazda 3 to deliver pizzas in. my problems is that id have to insure both vehichles, and since im a new driver my insurance is through the roof. and it would be alot of money. any thoughts on this? need some help :)
Was in the mood for a BUDGET friendly pizza delivery.
Picked a 12" Medium Pep-Mush Pan Pizza. That's all. One 12" Two Topping.
Cost, with $4 delivery tip: THIRTY TWO DOLLARS.
$32 medium pizza. From DOMINOS.
Anyone remember the days when a Large 2 topping and 2-Liter of Mountain Dew was $20 including tip for delivery?
It really wasn't that long ago. We are headed in the wrong direction.

I really don’t want to use Uber eats/Door dash. Are there good delivery pizza places or other delivery places that will deliver downtown?
The pizza place is literally 2 min from my house, less than half a mile. I’m on my own with young kids tonight and really didn’t feel like dealing with car seats. I have a $10 tip on a $38 order.
This dude just drove past my house and is now about 15 minutes away in an apartment complex. Clearly multi-apping and for some reason decided to go to the further order first. And no, it’s not a stacked order. The app tells us when there are other delivers, and it routes it better than that. UE support doesn’t care unless it arrives after the latest delivery time.
Texted the driver and he just responded that he’s on his way in Spanish. No response when I asked (in Spanish) why he went the wrong way. I’m betting he hoped I couldn’t speak/read it. I don’t, but that’s also why the app has translation built in. I really, really hate lowering tips, but this one just pissed me off.
Guys, if you do take orders from other apps at the same time, remember we can see you doing it. At least put some thought in your route and don’t BS the customer.
Edit: update, getting a partial refund at least because one of the pizzas was straight up from another order. I hope whoever got mine isn’t allergic to olives 🙄
In the town I work in there is one specific little caesars that is insanely packed the whole day because the workers don’t care at all and just work so slow 😭. Worst thing is doordash always assigns me to that store, I’m pretty sure most dashers in my area also always refuse to go there because multiple times had to decline the same order twice or even more lol. Sometimes im also so far away from the store and they still assign me the delivery probably again because no dasher wants to take it. AND the worst part is..the tips are almost always the best ones.. its just a heartbreak because I want to take it but I know if I do i’ll wait an hour for the order to get ready..
Just makes me mad how at that specific store the workers don’t give af about people, they take like an hour to get your order ready and take breaks in front of you while you’re waiting for the food.
Also why tf are so many people ordering little caesars, since when it became the best pizza spot (this is the most outrageous part of this post for sure).
Do you guys also have that one store where you hate going but sometimes you do because of the tip and instantly regret it once you get there?
… then I was right and she’s a desperate, pathetic pickmeisha.
Just read her comment on the other sub: “Men are inherently non monogamous beings”. Peak pickme behavior. So, she’s totally OK being the other woman. She’s totally OK with Andrew hooking up with Cindy every now and then.
Imagine baby-trapping a married, stoned, pizza delivery guy whose ex-wife-to-be is a crazy, manipulative 40% cured queen. Yeah... Poor innocent baby, though.
It’s like a “gaydar” but “dramadar” or “toxicdar” (or “gorldar”) for people like Cindy and the squad. They flock to each other. Good. Keep your toxicity and drama fuel to each other. Don’t drag people who don’t want to put up with your bullshit into your rollercoaster, over-emotional games.
Why play the sims, when you’re living in the gorl’s paradise?
OK, that’s all from me. Bye everyone, it was fun snarking with you. 🫡
So, I delivered pizzas about 9 years ago. At the time, it was really good money and I enjoyed the freedom being out on the road. I smoked, A LOT of weed on my drives.
Anyway, one time i was the last delivery guy in the store. It was me and one manager. We stopped taking orders by 2am. However, this night we were pretty slow and started doing sidework to get ourselves out by closing time.
SUDDENLY! Someone calls at 1:57am. I sigh, and go to answer it and my manager looks at me and says “Dont pick up for that. We’re not opening the kitchen for one order less than 3 minutes before close.” Well, wouldnt you believe these fuckers placed the order online with about 30 seconds to spare?
I watched my manager, fuming, start up the oven and break out the ingredients. i then watched her take her shoe off, rub it on the dough, and then spit in the pizza. I felt slightly bad but I was pissed too and I aint no rat.
Drive was about 15 minutes each way to the shittiest neighborhood in my town. I got to the door and this customer came to the door after 5 minutes of me waiting there. No tip. I laughed and no longer felt bad about what they were eating.
I got back to the store and my manager says “do you want to get high and then do the dishes or do the dishes and then get high?” I took the latter; dishes arent fun even when high.
I got home at like 3:45am which was about an hour and twenty minutes later than when I would have… all for no additional tip… but i still enjoyed the outcome.
