It's also really, really easy to lose your job as a pizza delivery person.
Turnover is already high due to shitty work conditions and low pay, but most franchises will also look for reasons to fire so they can keep wages low.
A few minutes later than the customer wants but still within reasonable time? Oooh sorry they called to complain so we have to give you a strike.
Customer doesn't want to pay? Tough shit, you shouldn't have given them the pizza without getting paid and that's two strikes.
You were 30 seconds late according to the managers watch which is 3 minutes fast as proven by everyone's cellphones and the wall clock? Too bad, fired.
And I'm not exaggerating. I'm just giving a real-world example.
Including the manager's watch one?
Especially that one. Seriously.
Ultimately I was just done and had already been looking for another job, so I just went ahead and dropped the shit on the floor and spent the rest of the day chilling at the park. I even had witnesses to the insane bullshit.
It's not so much about how pizza delivery drivers get easily fired. It's more about how cops get away with literal murder. If a pizza dude killed somebody who called for them, they wouldn't have a union and PR team fighting for them and showing that the murder victim was maybe kinda asking for it because they ordered pineapple on their pizza. That's a metaphor for a light criminal record, yes.
I propose that pineapple on pizza is the equivalent of personal quantities of pot possession in the legal world. Sure, a lot of people who claim to have never done it sure spend a lot of time talking about how terrible it is on a personal and societal level, but the ones who are actually using it just shrug their shoulders and say "more for me."
blue cheese, pineapple, and pepperoni
Pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapeno.
Not more for me. And I have tried it. No thank you. You can have my slices.
pizza delivery guys don’t get qualified immunity
Fun fact: qualified immunity is illegal according to the law as passed by Congress. The 1982 SCOTUS unintentionally legislated from the bench in Harlow V Fitzgerald

"here is 6 months access to my onlyfans"
Only if you have an order with extra meat. The same problem goes for plumbers.
Know a guy whose friend murdered.a guy and didn't get paid leave or nothing. Straight up fired.
