It probably paid way better too, adjusting for inflation

Why is Nicolas Maduro working at domino's did he finally stop being Venezuela's leftist dictator? Wow, time flies
do people not still do this ??
Drivers rushing to make the deadline lead to some deaths, which was followed by lawsuits. I don't remember if there was a huge payment from one of those, but I know a bunch of pizza places have chosen not to risk it.
A lot of jurisdictions banned it too for that reason.
Oh man. I was stoned for like three years straight delivering pizza. Quit using a map after just s couple of months. Had it all memorized.
It was fun for a while.
'97 ranger with an I4, drive a '98 with a V6 these days. Put a system better than I wanted back then in my current Ranger.
Everybody was real fucking high including the manger. Smoking in the walkin, smoke in the office after close. Smoke a cigarette anywhere after close. A pack of Luckies and a pack of Newports in the truck.
Drugs, girls, crazy shit. Pulled a knife once cause I was too young to carry a gun. Got laid a few times cause I was the pizza guy, stereotypes are a thing, and it was convenient. Still have my leather jacket all these years later.
This is why I quit eating out places 😂.
i mean maybe the new drivers used maps, but even in the days of GPS I didn't use any kind of map after the first 6 or so months of delivering, faster to not look it up when the address already tells you everything you need to know when you know the area.
Didn't they end the 30 minutes or it's free promotion because it encouraged their delivery drivers to speed?
I remembered someone dying after their drivers ran over someone.
To add to what the other guy said, IIRC, people were also taking advantage of it by ordering from restaurants that were further away than 30 minutes.
And run red lights, and drive recklessly and...,
Chart navigation is truly a lost skill. Should be a part of educational curricilum
They generally asked for your cross streets, then looked at the giant street map on the wall to figure out where you were. Not exactly an unsolvable problem.
Edit: and it’s not like they needed turn by turn directions. Just figure out where to go from the cross streets. Oh it’s northwest of Maple and Cyan, 3 streets into the neighborhood. The drivers can get to the crossroads on their own, that’s just local knowledge.
Where I worked we had a bigass map broken out into a grid. If you didn't know where an address was you could pull out a huge book that had the grid sectioned by street/block address (at least where I worked). So for example if someone had 12013 Lemmy Ln. You could look up in the book Lemmy Ln. Block 12000 and find it was on A4. You learned the entire service area pretty damn quick so like 99% of the time you knew where it was off the top of your head.
It was fun as fuck. Like the most fun job I ever had. I wish money wasn't as important cause I would've done that job for the rest of my life.
