What is this?

The latest in Domino's directly attacking their delivery drivers.

No. It's within walking distance but a bit far to be carrying pizzas.

@DrizztLink yeah corporate is fucking inhumanly terrible when it comes to expectations of drivers (and employees in general).

-expected to have relatively new vehicle and have it always be in pristine condition (what delivery driver could afford this?)

-expected to randomly give free pizza to neighbors of people who ordered, when said neighbors did not order (knock on random doors and disturb people, risk getting shot, give away product for free... all to just try and get new customers)

-expected to give speech to customers when delivering ending in "now watch me safely hustle back to my vehicle!" which is supposed to be said enthusiastically.

-expected to never carry more than $20 cash at any time (this is unreasonable. During peak hours where I worked, drivers would often take a dozen or so orders each trip. If most customers are paying cash which is less likely now than it was at the time, but still... $20 to make change for that many orders is not gping to work).

-there is an official dominos song and dance that all employees are expected to know and perform on command. I never witnessed it. I just know of it from managers who went to some corporate event.

-premade deep dish and thin crusts are expected to be used only after reachong room temperature but are expected to be thrown put after 2 hours if not used. Employees are expected to know exactly how many are to be sold in every 2 hour time bracket, which is inpossible because a bunch could sell all at once or there could be literally 0 of either sold durinf an entire shift. It's completely unpredictable.

-employees are expected to wash hands and use hand sanitizer after every pizza they make (during busy times in some places, this can be several hundred pizzas per hour. That much hand washing will leave a person without skin on their hands eventually).

-there is literally a book made by the corporation teaching franchisees and managers how to indoctrinate minimum wage workers(primarily immigrants) into being company loyalists who would work to climb the ladder instead of trying to find better opportunities in other lines of work. I've seen it and skimmed through it a bit.

I don't do Dominos. I always get my pizza stolen by the Noid.

$3 tip isn't enough for me

They are all real. None were enforced at the one I worked at. We really didn't follow any rules at all. It was sort of a wild west culture, but because we serviced multiple colleges including a major state university, we made so much money (off drunk college students when all other delivery places were closed lol) that we basically had a "corporate will fuck off and not breathe down our necks" pass. We had unwritten exemption because our situation was that anomalous.

Sort of. I use pickup with apps like Grubhub it costs less and sometimes they give you exclusive deals

The Domino's deal is a trick because they don't actually give you $3, they give you $3 credit for the next pizza you get. So you have to buy more Domino's

I don't know they tried to give me an entire free pizza for the next week once though, decided I don't want to eat pizza every week and let it go lol.
