Domino's Pizza in 30 minutes or is it free. Would you claim the free order if it takes over 1 hour?

none of this is important. my pizza is late.there's a reason Domino's stopped this in the USA nearly 30 years ago: because the corporation was liable for damages from so much reckless driving by their delivery staff.

Yes. NFL is big here. Tons of fans. Unfortunately there is going to be too many reunions today because of the Super Bowl (tons of infections will happen today).
Damn I've never seen such vested interest in Domino's Pizza 😅
I don't think i would ever do this kind of thing tbh. Like getting stuff for free if someone fucks up. That would just make me feel bad.
Does this affect the hourly employee in anyway? If so, I'd be lenient most of the time. I don't really care if my pizza arrives a little late.
If it doesn't affect anyone but nets me a free pizza, then sure.

This promise actually killed a ton of people in the US and I'm sure other countries as well.
My local Pizza Hut has something baked into their automated system, where if the timestamps show your delivery was more than like 15-20 minutes later than expected after leaving the store, they'll automatically email you a coupon for a free 1-topping medium.
This franchise is extraordinarily punctual, however.

If it means the delivery driver is going to get in trouble or it comes out of their paycheck, then no.
Why the hell wouldn't I claim a free pizza? It's not like it goes bad after an hour. It's not like I don't eat cold or microwaved leftovers. There's not reason not to claim the pizza
Also where are people getting that a late pizza is deducted/paid for by the delivery person? Was that stated someone or by a former delivery person?

These days if your pizza takes too long Dominos just automatically emails you a code for a pizza (well, 60 rewards points, but it's basically a pizza). You don't even have to do anything.

30-40 minutes, no big deal. I'll still tip even.
Over an hour? Nah buddy. I'll take that free Za, no shame.

Aren't you the guy with no debt or something, trying to be a millionaire?
You gave up quick on class solidarity.
I have never claimed it, nor have I ever thought of it. Pizza delivery sucks and the drivers are not always the best paid. And usually if it takes awhile, there's something going on either a large unexpected influx of orders, or workers not showing up, or anything else.
If I wanted the pizza fast, I'd get my ass in the car and go get it myself. I'm not going to cause a problem because I am too lazy to go get my own food and rely on others to bring it.

An hour is ridiculous. I'd still tip the driver but I'd definitely get the free pizza.
On the other hand, I never order delivery. I'd rather save the expense and just go get it myself.

This is a good point. 90% of the poll are just Karen in the making.
It's been ~4 years since I ate Dominos, but I'd claim a free pizza even if they were late by 1 second
I get that workers deserve better treatment, but the answer to that is not "customers deserve shit service", dude. And yes, if you make someone wait 90 minutes for their food that's shit service.
I mean, there's your answer. I would just let it go. It's a pandemic. It's Super Bowl Sunday. Delivery drivers are already overworked right now.
There is nothing to indicate that this is systemic or that the service itself is at fault though. And some posts suggest that it's a heavy work night. You can't expect service to be great every single time, it's just not a reasonable expectation. This idea of a free pizza makes people think that any single instance of failure is to be compensated and the workers will be thrown on their swords by mgmt because of this unrealistic notion that things can always be good. They're not. It's impossible for things to always be good.
dominos thanks those of you spending your weekend trying to guilt a customer into saving them a few bucks
There is a gap between "great" and "trash". If your pizza is one minute late (so thirty-one minutes total) and you demand a free pizza, you're a dork. But over an hour? Maybe my conscience stops me from asking for a free pizza...but it'd also stop me from patronizing that store again. There's a limit to everything.
I'll give you that I didn't see the part about the Super Bowl. In an instance like that you just go pick it up--you're asking for trouble asking for a delivery. Plus you'd also need to tip like crazy 'cause they're swamped.

So, the order arrived 1 hour and 45 minutes late.
The delivery guy hands me the order, and I told me I won't pay for the order. And the told me, angry (literally): "And why wouldn't you pay me for the order, uh". He was literally in fighting pose.
I explained to him that it was very late and he told me it wasn't his fault and he wasn't authorized to give me a free order.
Fuck Domino's. I told him to get out of there with the order.

I wouldn't consider having to wait to be "trash" service... trash would need to be legitimately antagonistic. If, in this instance, all that has happened was that the order was lost/given in error to another person and they're trying to catch up, i would definitely not consider that trash service, just unlucky.
lol. You handled this in a hilariously bad fashion, and justified blame space making fun of you. The delivery guy isn't the person you tell. You were supposed to call Domino's and tell them.
Is super bowl Sunday a thing in other countries?
I'm usually not tripping over late food. If they get the order wrong, sure. Not if it's late.

But I didn't get mad at the driver. I just told him I won't be paying for the order, calmly.
He got aggressive in 1 second.
why would people possibly think this? no it won't.
The delivery person is almost never the reason your pizza is late.
But why wouldn't you pay? You should just contact Dominos later.
