Oh, so that means I think it should be something that happens all the time?
It is 100% acceptable as a social norm but it shouldn't happen all the time?! Do you not see the irony in that?

But what if hours of operation is defined as the hours they do anything at all for you?
If that is the case, they are not required to continue making and/or deliver your pizza.
If you wanna argue that side, argue Dominos policy or something. Hours of operation could mean literally any operation. Driving to the hospital is part of the operation and it was done after hours.
Like LNCHBOX said, they should define their hours of operations/have a "last call" time. Until then, we can go back and forth all day because hours of operation could mean literally any step in the entire "operation" and plenty of those steps were done after the posted hours.

It's the same as me thinking it's OK but not going to a restaurant before closing most of the time. It's not hard to not deal in absolutes.

I got here during operating hours, do your damn job
I think this side of the argument is only coming off with this type of attitude because it's hard to believe anyone see differently and after arguing it, you start to speak this way. I would never have that attitude to the employee, but if you treated me that way, I certainly would view your company in a different light. I know for a fact the manager of that employee would say to them "do your damn job" so that this wouldn't happen.
I never served for very long. I delivered for a good while. I'd wait tables a few months here and there while on break. I admit I probably wasn't the best, but I wasn't horrid. I once had a lady write on the receipt everything that I did wrong. And when I say did wrong, I mean petty shite. Like "appetizers took longer than 7 minutes to come out", "did not offer steak sauce until after I already ate a few bites of my food", etc. You could tell this bitch had worked at another location (was a shitty chain) and knew the protocols given to waiters on how to handle your table. That's some entitled bullshite right there. Expecting to be served during operating hours is not. And don't be confused, if they let you in the door, it's operating hours.
Also for delivery, I delivered well after we "closed" finishing out orders. We used to have an hour wait for delivery and people would still order. Not going to shut down the kitchen an hour early. It was just part of the job. Whine about it all you want, I used to if I wanted to go, but smile in front the customer.

I don't know of a restaurant that does this. Do those exist? (serious question)

I am simply saying that the courteous thing to do as a human freaking being is to treat person x as you would person y as a customer. You are the one refusing to see beyond white/blue collar.

Sure. If we had no more customers in the restaurant and were shutting down for the night at 8:55 (we closed at 9), if someone called with a to-go order at that time, we'd deny it politely. Because by the time the food is taken out, cooked, boxed, and the customer arrives, it would be out of our hours of operation.
We'd only take to-go orders last minute if customers were still in the restaurant and we weren't leaving anytime soon.
If anything, I think the fact that it is Dominos makes it even more on "my" line of thinking because they are delivery. The nurse didn't call to swing by and grab a pizza while they were cleaning up the store. She called for them to get into a work vehicle and make a work delivery after their posted hours. I personally think Dominos shouldn't have even accepted the order. But I don't own Dominos.
I've tried to order from Roly Poly online when they are nearing closing hours. The website will not allow it to go through. Places do this. Dominos simply does not.

I've never once compared it to that. My job may as well be blue collar, so you can just stop trying to paint me with that brush.

The courteous thing goes both ways. Sometime teh situation dictates a l;ate order. DO you your fricking job and shut up.
I was supposed to get two hours early leave from work on the Thursday before Easter, but something came up last minute in the field that had me end up staying 2 hours later than usual. Did I complain about the 4 hour swing, no. Sometimes it happens.

I think it's generally understood that when Domino's is open for business it means they are cooking and delivering food. Domino's corporate seems to agree.

But that isn't a posted policy followed everyday. I meant are there restaurants that say this is what we do every single night.

I've honestly never understood it that way. I Googled a pizza joint just a few weeks ago and when the hours of operation showed on Google and I saw that was 10 minutes from now, I immediately searched for another pizza place.

Only places I know that stay open but no longer take orders are bars that also serve food.

Was it a sit down place or delivery?

i would politely never do business with you again if you couldn't honor your basic hours of operations.

Delivery. My mind immediately thought, "They close in 10 minutes. No way we can get delivery now". Not even because I wouldn't do it in my heart, but because I honestly assumed pizza places said no that close to closing.

The place would have to have a bad manager to be denying customers before close.

as opposed to picking up a freaking phone and asking politely if they could still deliver?
"i'm asking you with my mind"

Dominos should deliver the pizza and do their job according to set hours. They should have not taken the order and the passive aggressive comment was unnecessary.
Nurse is "wrong" by milking this and demanding apologies.
The end

No one ever had a problem with it. And I think in the actual situation, you wouldn't either. Most people called asking what time we closed and said "nevermind" before we could even say anything. The general person knows that if we close at 9:00, nobody will be available to help you at 9:20 when your order is completed.

Do you not know what a hypothetical is? From now on, I will only use places I know of and not you
