On the other hand, they actually get to talk to the people they make food for which is a nice human moment, the restaurant doesn’t lose money to some shitty app company, you might be more likely to give a good tip to somoene you speak to, and the workers get paid by the hour. As long as there’s at least one worker who enjoys taking calls as a way to get a break from the kitchen, everybody benefits.
Comment on Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery?
KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 6 hours agoThis is likely more disruptive and annoying for the people working there, who then have to manually create a ticket and enter it into their ordering system, vs. an online order that does that automatically.

I work at a Domino’s. We all avoid the phone like the plague, it’s the one thing that will make everyone in the store suddenly very busy, playing the “not it” game.

What a strange take. I get that being interrupted with a phone does cause a context switch, but so would coming in and ordering. Or picking up pizzas to deliver. And also, for me I just think of answering the phone as part of the job at a pizza joint. So many memories of sitting in lobbies waiting hearing the constant “hello papa johns” drone on. I do concede I’m old though.
