    I just got this beauty of an alert.

    That’s -34.44 Celsius for those not in the USA.

    I made an order for the next morning… and the first heavy snowstorm hit overnight. I wrote it off as well im not getting that order.

    But the crazy driver actually delivered. I felt so bad for them! No tip though, cause I don’t support the tipping culture.

      Yeah, I got some pizza delivered during yesterday’s snowstorm. Fuck tipping culture, my tip for the driver was to reccomend they get a better job that doesn’t have them driving in a blizzard.

    I used to run a pizza place. Bad snow was some of the worst. Half the staff would call off and we’d have double the orders. We were in a mostly flat city on a grid, so we would cut delivery down to just the grid. People would be furious to be denied delivery pizza. “I just drove up the hill an hour ago! It’s fine!” Yeah in your truck. My delivery driver is in a beat up twenty year old four cylinder.

    One day I tried to take our car to work and immediately put it in a ditch. I called my boss while I walked to work. I said we can’t do delivery today this is too extreme. He said oh just do the grid like usual. The only driver who showed up that morning wrecked his car on his third delivery. We always told them, take the topper off your car and hide it in your trunk. If insurance finds out you were doing commercial business they will not pay.

      Remember, if you drive your own car for work, and they aren’t insuring it, you are double subsidising your employer.

    It irks me when people order delivery when the roads are unsafe - no one should have to put their life on the line like that. I know some people rely on it, though. The snow has been terrible here for days and Meals on Wheels has been canceled so I cooked a big pot roast today to share with elderly neighbors. We’ve all gotta look out for eachother.

      I don’t see how that’s the customer’s responsibility. The order should be rejected by door dash if they can’t safely deliver.
