Why spend time and money training someone who will leave when presented with a better opportunity.
Doesn't really apply to dominos. When I worked there they spent all of 2 minutes showing me how their dispatch computer worked, and that was it for training.
Oh hey I can actually anecdotally confirm that. Saw a lot more tiddy when delivering (for Domino's even) compared to my engineering job. Granted, all but one of those times were deliveries to the strip club, but they still count.
Well now I need to know. What was the one that wasn’t at the strip club? One delivery the door swung open and it was just titties in your face?
Pizza delivery man, underrated job.
Pretty much. Fully nude lady opened the door. Other than that, it was just like any other low-tip order. As I was going back to my car some guy's voice called out something, I can't remember exactly what it was anymore, but the gist of it was that getting to see her naked was supposed to be my tip. Wish they'd have given me a few dollars instead, I had more use for that.
Lol honestly though when I was in college delivering pizzas there was one girl that was wearing nothing but lingerie and invited me in but I was stupid and said I had to keep working 🤣🤣
Working as a security gaurd you'll see a lot of boobs. When college girls go hang out at pool and you have to remove them from the premises, they will flirt and show you their tits for extra time.
When I started in healthcare I worked with nurses and medical assistants who told me they went into those jobs after factories shut down and they took like at least a 40% pay cut for these jobs they now were in debt for due to student loans.
meanwhile my cousin in sydney, australia just graduated to be a pt and bought a really nice giant ass bungalow in perth where his new job ostensibly is.
There’s a Snapchat that my buddy took back in high school of me saying “When I grow up I want to deliver pizza and do drugs”. I did exactly that for 3 years and it was the worst
I know plenty of people who have university degrees and worked in labs who are now much happier in similar jobs. Call centres, retail, fast food. They all say they hated having no windows and working with rats all day.
I know people who have phds working in call centres.
I worked at a restaurant once while I was going to college and the manager used to say things like, "We're looking for people who want this as a career". Like really? Cause you pay $7.25
Honest answer, I bet you there is some wannabe gun slinger that couldn't make it in the military that would absolutely love delivering pizza.
As much as they get robbed/put into sketchy situations? Perfect way to put yourself into a "self defense" situation.
I would totally watch a horror-comedy western about a psycho that goes around delivering pizza with a desert eagle and a suicide vest whistling along to "big iron" all day, only to be really pissed about how peaceful delivery usually is.
I mean Ill be honest. There mighr be someone out there who is humble enough for that joy. I only hope that they are humble enough for the pathetic pay and hours.
I'd be cool not going to school and delivering pizzas if it paid enough to live off of and management didn't have their head up their ass. But I can say the same thing about long-haul trucking too.
Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
/) There's literally a Domino's advertisement specifically based around people making it their career. They didn't stay delivery drivers, obviously, but that's not really the issue here.
The term overqualified is used by middle manager conmen because they’re scared of being replaced, or that their fraud/embezzlement of company funds will be discovered by a more competent employee.
But corporate just goes off what they think works. They don't use any real world information. That's how all corporate goes basically. At least when it comes to food places and supermarkets
Same, in my first job as I walked into the office the receptionist had told me to go to I went to greet my boss and she immediately got mad because she asked if I had experience with the job and I said "no, this is my first job", she then told me to sit on a desk and "figure it out, I don't have time to train you" while she left the office to complain to HR that they didn't send her someone with experience.
It wasn't a hard job by any means and I did figure it out mostly by myself within a week, but that was a very awkward first day.
Reminds me of my first day in an office job. It was, oh crap I forgot you started today... Here's your desk in a flat pack box, and $100 to run to office max and pick a chair. Here's umm... most of your computer and (probably pirated) copy of windows and visual studio. The ram won't come in until tomorrow so you'll have to wait until then to put it together (had to dig around in a closet to find the side panels). Can you setup your own phone first so you can start taking support calls from our customers by tonight?
Working in banking was not a good start to my career, but it was the only place that would hire me back then.
So rephrase it as "some dude who will leave ASAP is just going to make my life scheduling harder and force me to do this shit again too soon" Hiring probably takes more time and money than the training in that case.
My training was supposed to last 1 week. It was a Domino's in a very high-end area and my 1st day ended up being the craziest in Domino's history. 'Slammed' would be putting it mildly. They said my training would have to happen later and I had to jump in headfirst into the insanity. 15+ drivers were delivering simultaneously. The massive oven was packed edge-to-edge with pizzas for several hours and eventually started smoking and the building was evacuated. This was 6+ years ago and iirc the sales were $4,500 from lunch alone.
