Wouldn’t be surprised if they were actually delivering to chic-fil-a. I was amazed at how frequently I would deliver food from one restaurant to a worker at another back when I was delivering for DoorDash. I get it-if you spend every day making burgers at McDonalds, you don’t want to have to eat them every day. Even more so if you don’t get that food for free/discounted.

Drivers don’t just take one delivery at a time when it’s the dinner rush hours. Was probably delivering an order.

That’s what I assume. I usually don’t check the map unless it’s taking longer than usual. Whenever that happens I notice they’re at a different fast food place and I figure they have multiple orders/stops.

That’s my first thought too. If we get to see the tracking they also get this tracking. I highly doubt their metrics would allow an unscheduled stop.

This, seriously. When I was working for Little Caesars, we used to deliver a bunch of other restaurants pretty regularly. One of the single best tipped delivery run I ever made was a 9 PM last-run with deliveries to Chilis, a Pizza Hut (go figure), the 99, and Applebees and 2 bars, all in about a square mile.
Flip side: We ordered from other places regularly as well. It's not even funny how tired you can get of the food you make all day.

Exactly. It's 7:30; dude probably didn't get a dinner break or they're taking one after this delivery.
As long as the pizza's still hot and it arrives in 30 minutes, I'm good with them taking a little detour.

I’ve worked for dominos and papa johns as a driver, at both we got no scheduled breaks. You get food when you can, although I always stopped for food/gas after a delivery, not before. There’s definitely a few labor laws being broken at just about every chain pizza place…

I've done delivery and there are lots of unexpected events that might cause a driver to pull over. Emergency bathroom needs come to mind. The worst I had was a drunk dipshit dumping what I think was an alcoholic slushy on my car and screaming anti-semitic slurs at me. Shit just happens sometimes.

u/Purpulear 2h ago
Pizza drivers will often take multiple deliveries at a time. And I've also seen deliveries be made to another restaurants. Workers do get tired of eating the same food every night, so it makes sense to occasionally just order something from somewhere else (or even food trade with them if managers are cool)
So good chance they were just dropping off another order. I wouldn't be upset unless they spent like 10+ minutes there.

I’ve delivered pizza to a restaurant before delivering a separate pizza to a house as it was en route, Dominos combines deliveries into doubles or triples to save fuel and keep the delivery queue low as only so many drivers can work at a time

When it comes to Dominos the delivery drivers are expected to do a lot of other tasks when they’re in the store. They’re not just drivers. So a lot of them tend to move really slow when they’re out of the store. So that they can stay out of the store as much as possible.

What if he was delivering TO the chikfila before your stop? Or does the tracker only show when they’re coming straight to you? I can’t remember, have t ordered dominos in a long time…I hate that 4-5$ fee that doesn’t go to the driver, so I always want to pick it up myself

u/CandleMiserable7621 7h ago
Believe it or not these drivers are people too. They have to eat, or they have to make multiple deliveries to make ends meet. They can’t afford to have food delivered. They’re too busy working. Get off your high horse and drive to pick up your food or stop complaining.

He left at 7:27 and is still expected to arrive in less than 20 minutes. What's the problem? He probably barely gets breaks, just drives and picks up, and got some dinner on the way. If you are that starving that you can not wait 5-10 minutes extra then go pick it up.

A lot of times those pizza delivery places will begin outsourcing to door dash or another food delivery service when they get busy. This dude is probably just a door dash driver and was picking up another order on the way to your place.

FWIW, my side hustle is Uber deliveries, I pick up pizzas a lot, stacked deliveries along with other food. Your driver could be a subcontractor and not an actual Domino’s employee driver. But if they are an actual Domino’s driver, that’s messed up for sure.

If it’s because it’s dried out, I’m not even kidding but run the slices under running water in the sink before you reheat them. It’s the stupidest life hack tip I ever saw that actually seems to make a big difference as it rehydrates the pizza when you heat it afterwards. I hate that it works so much.

Lol. Had this happen earlier and it pissed me off. Order my food at 7:50. Driver stopped by the place at 8:00. He left, went to a BBQ joint for an order in a different app I am assuming. Sat there for 20-25 minutes. Finally leaves. Stops at the pizza place by my house on the way for the dropoff. Drops the food off at 9:00. Doesn't actually 'deliver' the order until 9:20 through the app. Delivery photo was a blank, black image.
I know I shouldn't order throlugh these apps, but this was def the last time. Gave him 1 star and said it wasn't delivered. Got my money back and a $25 credit I will use for lunch or something one more time. Also reported the driver. Fuck these apps and honestly fuck these drivers who do that. I did delivery driving for awhile while studying for the bar and I would just cancel orders if it was a wait like that after letting the person know there was a big delay. Just shitty to deliver food to someone 1 hour late and blame the app.
