re: Which side are you on- Nurse or Dominos Pizza?

Is it really shocking to you that someone wouldn't feel comfortable doing that? Really?

because they might still have 15 drivers out and are waiting on them anyway?

why are you so afraid to talk to them in person?

quote:

I had a customer show up yesterday a few minutes before I close.

define a few? 3 minutes? 5 minutes? 15 minutes?

Would you never do business with my company based on that situation?

depends on amount of time left verses time needed to complete transaction

OK, you're pulling shite out of your arse now. Good day.

About ten.

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.

You keep arguing this fictitious notion that the hours on the front door have anything to do with how long they are willing to work to complete your experience with them. It is obviously not the policy of any restaurant you've ever seen. Why do we keep circling back to it? The only issue is your opinion on how you make the employees feel when forcing them to stick to the policy of working until close. Which if you ask any owner or manager, is when the work is done, not when the clock strikes a certain number. It is inconsiderate to do anything that causes them to work above and beyond the appropriate time for you to finish your meal or have it delivered. But otherwise, it is the expectation, so there's nothing wrong with it. I make no distinction between sit down and delivery. Employees make a practice of starting to shut down the kitchen early since it is likely they will not have any more customers and they can get out quicker. They are weighing that option against the likelihood of someone coming in. Just because they guessed wrong, doesn't mean the customer is an arse. It's just become accepted, but in reality, they are inching their way into getting out early.

And to the comment of this is way past the comment.....it's not to me. That is the biggest issue. That note, however inconsequential it seemed, makes the customer feel like they don't have the right to use that service. And ultimately, that's the server's opinion based on their selfish feelings. Not even looking at it from a customer perspective, but as a business, who gives a shite what someone you hired to do a job thinks about actually doing their job. If you don't like it....quit. It gets me from that perspective more than I care about this bitchy nurse. Owner is paying you money to do this, don't frick with his paying customers.

I still don't get the hours of operation arguement. You worked in restaurants and if you ever closed your shift said 5-close not 5-9. This shouldn't be about whether it's inconsiderate to go into a business near closing.

I get off at 4:30 but occasionally have hot jobs that come
In that keep me from leaving on time. It sucks but I would never tell the customer they need to get their projects in earlier

It depends how well I know the contact.

good point

WHY WOULD YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE CALLING A BUSINESS FIVE MINUTES UNTIL CLOSING TO ASK IF THEY COULD STILL DELIVER A PIZZA?

BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I FEEL AND THAT IS THE CONSIDERATE PERSON I AM. Get over it. It isn't just asking a question because I wouldn't LET them deliver to me after their hours of operation even if they said they "can". I also walk my shopping cart and any I pass on the way up the store back INSIDE OF THE STORE instead of the cart lanes. I also stack my plates in appropriate restaurants and clean my area for the bus boy. I also refuse to let the cashier take my carry-basket from me in the checkout line and stack it so she can put it up later.. because I'm the one who passes the carry-baskets, not her! I am considerate of others in literally every single aspect of my life. It is who I am. You have no reason to question that.

If you want to sit here and justify your side to someone else, go for it. I'm not going to sit here and bitch back and forth with someone who has no shame at putting others out, and you won't convince me otherwise.
