Nah, if you were an otherwise good employee that wouldn't deserve firing.

I guess you'd have to know the chefs I've worked for. They weren't the most reasonable

serious.

i doubt there's an army of passive-aggressive people lining up to order pizza 5 minutes to closing; more than likely the person who has been working and let time slip by and realizes nothing is open but dominos and gets in right under the wire is actually more grateful and generous than someone ordering pizza at 7pm.

Thank goodness, you're right. People should definitely exercise consideration for others and try to avoid doing this. Nothing wrong with advocating that and still agreeing Dominos needs to fill the order when people DO place them last minute. As I said earlier, one does not exclude the other.

It is completely possible to feel both simultaneously.

Personally, I think what the Dominos employee did is funny. Guess that's why I don't run Dominos.

You are confusing a socially acceptable practice with the business standard set by the company. It is absolutely within the company policy and there is little to debate here. I cannot wrap my head around how you can justify it to yourself as the consumer to knowingly lay a task upon someone that you know full well will run beyond the operating hours. You wouldn't walk into a bank at 5:25 if the lobby closed at 5:30 to discuss a loan with a loan officer out of the blue. Why do you feel the same courteousy shouldn't be extended to "lowly" food workers?

No, I'm not. It should be 100% socially acceptable to place an order during business hours. Again, are you serious?

You are so angry. Poor little fella.

ETA: And you're right, I don't give a shite someone has to do their job during the posted hours.

Exactly. Most people on the "other" side in this thread are doing exactly this. We all know/agree that it is company policy. No debate there.

Going into Izzos and eating my food and throwing all my trash around and leaving it on the table is also "okay" in the sense that employees are required to pick it up as part of their job. But it is a shite thing to do.

I am still waiting for you to explain how your early posts to me I quoted correlate to the definition of entitled I posted. I won't hold my breath.

You're defending an entitled attitude. Quit trying to win at semantics, because you're failing.

Then you must also believe it should be 100% acceptable for them to begin cooking your order while still open and then stop making it 4 minutes later when closing time hits. Right?

If we are getting technical, there is no law that says they must continue working past their hours of operation. If the service you order lasts beyond business hours, couldn't they just offer you 4 minutes of that service and then stop doing it?

But they don't do this. Because they aren't assholes. So it is our place to also not be assholes.

I would never spend time with a person who did this. I don't care what the company is required to do. I would end a date with the quickness and possibly slap the person across the face

Very very very very very unattractive quality for a prospective friend, employee, romantic partner, etc.

Are those new pizza delivery cars equipped with pizza ovens legit?



I don't know. I've seen one on the road so far.
But Not really sure how cost-effective this new aspect of delivery model will be in long term. But at least two things are true:
1. pizza will never be cold
2. They are saving about $2 a delivery by not paying the driver a delivery fee(pct)

So that's probably ~$20 saved each night the car is used by a driver. If used 20 shifts a month that would pay a car note for sure.

No, we've covered this already. Restaurants are a special case where closing hours does not mean the place is actually shut down. At least not the way things are currently. Until they institute a last call time, the closing hour is the last call hour.

GTFO. Sorry being responsible and doing what you're supposed to is an unattractive quality.

So you also think that if you go to a bank before the loan officer leaves he/she has to sit down and go over a new loan even if the meeting extends 30-45 minutes or more after the bank closes without an appointment. You got there before they locked the doors right?

No you are just once again proving why you are so disliked on this board.

They could do that if their goal is to go out of business.

Most places you make an appointment though for that. Also when you sign in they will likely tell you it's too late in the day. Which maybe restaurants should do.
