Just your normal everyday casual software dev. Nothing to see here.

People can share differing opinions without immediately being on the reverse side. Avoid looking at things as black and white. You can like both waffles and pancakes, just like you can hate both waffles and pancakes.

been trying to lower my social presence on services as of late, may go inactive randomly as a result.

  • Dominos doesn’t have to be a government entity to have a moral compass and not provide food to companies that are intending to put their workers at risk by delivering to locations that the same establishment has decided isn’t worth the risk to their own employees. There is proper ways of doing this that doesn’t involve risking people who don’t have the ability to easily say no without it effecting their contractor or employment status.

    I agree with your statement that they(doordash) /could/ give that alert, but they don’t. The closest to my knowledge that they use is a weather/crime reporting service that only triggers with major crime events(such as a mass shooting) or major weather events (and even that is iffy). Instead they do the opposite: they ding the drivers account if you deny or reject the order, and if you do it too many times they terminate you as a contractor. There is no system in place to allow for an opt out like you describe. If they did that would be amazing and make it a slightly better solution. My opinion is that since doordash knowingly doesn’t provide that system, Domino’s as being the source should step in. Honestly, you could hot swap Dominos with any establishment that DD works with and my opinion would be the same. As it would if you hot swapped DD with any of the other big food delivery services because to my knowledge they don’t offer any way for drivers to opt out either, it’s against their own self interests.

    being said, I thank you for your responses to it, I do understand your POV and what you are saying. I just respectfully disagree and I don’t see that changing.






  • Firstly, I don’t think the statement of I can’t do anything about it is valid here. Those chains could for sure offer a safe way of delivering it to those areas, but they choose not to because of cost, which is somewhat understandable but still bleh to me.

    The food deserts, as you described, is going to happen regardless of if Domino’s allows DoorDash to deliver to bad areas or not.As at the end of the day, Dominos decides where they open and how they operate and that’s not changing any time soon.

    I can’t wrap my head around any situation where, logically, you should be sending someone in to a risk area that’s known for people getting mugged slash robbed because someone lives there. especially for the wages that those delivery drivers make on both Domino’s and DoorDash.

    There are solutions to the problem you listed there and allowing a company to pawn everything off to a company that isn’t putting the proper safety measures in for their drivers is not the solution.


  • Oh, don’t get me wrong. DoorDash is as much at fault as Domino’s would be in this scenario.

    I just don’t see the comparison of oh, it’s not safe enough for my company to send people there, so let me allow another company to send people there because they are willing to give me money for it.

    If it’s not safe to go to, then neither company should be sending there, and anyone that’s assisting in allowing that to go there would be equally at fault.

    it sucks for the people who live in that area, but I don’t see where it makes logical sense to cause additional human risk for someone else’s situation for the intent of increasing profits. It’s morbid.

    the core issue is exactly like what you just mentioned. DoorDash could do that, however they don’t, they even actively penalize their drivers for refusing routes that go to specific areas. if DD isn’t going to do it, then that responsibility morally falls on dominoes the supplier.














  • Yes, I post a review on every product and restaurant I visit. I wish more sites let you review more than once as there are some places/products that had amazing visits at one point, but then some visits that sucked hardcore, so allowing the average visit would be nice.

    Why? Because I want to share what /my/ expereience with the service was. If they screwed up, others should know. If they did amazing? Others should know. If I was in the other persons shoes, I would rather have known.
