So it's perfectly acceptable to walk into a restaurant that closes at 10 at 9:55, order your steak and bottle of wine and proceed to drink it until 3 in the morning if you want?
I have gone into plenty of restaurants that close their kitchen before the official closing time. Business closes at 11 but kitchen closes at 9:30 for example.
Who drinks a bottle of wine for 5+ hours anyway...bit over dramatic with your example don't you think?

say you were a waiter at a restaurant that closed at 10...you would rather no groups come in at 9:55 so that you wouldn't have to stay and close?
quote:I fully understand the concept as I did then. You are premising that the business should take orders up to "close". Should they also then not ask customers to leave at 10:01 in your argument? They are closed.
Why do you think schedules are listed as 5-close for employees? why not 5-10 if the business closes at 10?

When I used to work in a restaurant I used to hate people trying to squeeze in an order right before close. It's pretty inconsiderate. A small to go order isn't that bad, but the worst were people who would dine in and stay for 30 minutes past close. I remember one night a 20 top came in 10 or 15 minutes to close and stayed an hour or so after close. Had an impromptu little party. Bastards.
The nurse wasn't that bad, but it's still bad form. Hopefully she left a little bigger than normal tip.

No I am saying unless the owner/management has a policy in place that says we do not accept orders after this time than they are open to take orders until the closing time.

never seen a restaurant ask people to leave in the middle of their meal.
Back to the dominos driver. What if 2 other drivers had left at 11:58 to make deliveries and actually returned later than the one delivering to the hospital?

That's how examples work. Let's shorten it to 2 hours. 2 hours is a reasonable amount of time to enjoy a bottle of wine. So you're saying it's perfectly acceptable to make an entire restaurant full of employees wait 2 hours after closing for you?

They made the order and delivered the order.
Yes, with a note that falls outside if set protocol which is set in stone!
Plus, this employee did this to probably one of the biggest reoccurring customer locations in their territory! A HOSPITAL! And one dipshit has that entire staff now aware of the rudeness if the mngment!
Think about it kid.

So your statement was that requesting an order be placed earlier was an offense worthy of litigation.
No dumbass, just no.
I'll get you whatever you want when the owner finds out what happened, not some low level location manager, will send a ton of complimentary pizzas to said location!
They don't think of morons like you, they think of possible loss of customers and revenue.
The customer did NOTHING wrong. They ordered and it was accepted.
If they would not have taken the order, the customer would have looked elsewhere for food.

There are restaurants that will let you sit for 2-3 hours past closing even if you haven't ordered anything new. It's a douche move IMO but it's all relative.
I.E. if you go into a high-end place for the latest reservation they'll make, order $1000 worth of shite and want to sit until 2AM then that's probably within reason. On the other hand, wanting to sit for an hour or two after closing time at Chili's with your 7 church friends when 1 person gets an entree, 2 people get diet Coke, and everyone else splits chips and queso..that's a dick move.
Anyway, the guy(s) at this Domino's obviously don't know how to handle late orders.
Step 1: Answer the phone and say "Thank you for calling Domino's. Please hold, another line is ringing."
Step 2: Never pick the call up again.
Step 3: When they call back a couple minutes later, say "Thank you for calling Domino's. Our business hours are 10AM-12AM."

Which they did. The argument was if taking advantage of this is a count move. Which it is.

The business is more courteous than the consumer, because it relies on the consumer. The American consumer often takes this weight and forces it to an extreme knowing the business will kowtow to avoid ridicule.
Take away social media outrage and demands for free stuff and I would fully agree that dominos was fully in the wrong. My bet would be this staff has done this on numerous occasion and that this was a boiling point moment (though not excusable) for the driver because the nurse(s) assumed it was ok.

Take your blood pressure medicine and breathe. This is rhetoric which can be discussed. Forcing your beliefs is trite.

How was this note rude?
Looked like they were just asking for some consideration

Best comment: "The note doesn't seem rude nor unreasonable. Probably a poor decision, but hardly worth going to BLM extremes of self-martyrdom and protest by the nurse.

And we ALWAYS make sure to write the patient a note saying "Please make sure to attempt to die more than 5 minutes before my shift ends. Thanks so much! -the nurse that just missed her daughter's recital to save/attempt to save your life"
Dumbfrick.
Did I say anything of the sort, you dumb twat? Nope. And if you think I inferred anything remotely close to that, I feel sorry for you. The point of my post: EVERYONE likes to get off of work when they are scheduled to. Is that clear enough for you? Sheesh.

I wouldn't do it but I know people will do that. Its up to business owner/management on how they want to handle those situations.
