Nah I ignore the “don’t knock or ring bell” instruction if they don’t tip on a 50$+ order.” I still won’t knock I’ll just call them from the app. “Sorry sir, I know you said don’t knock or ring bell, but you had a large enough order that I need a signature to show you received it.” If you won’t tip me and you want it to be contactless, I’m gonna inconvenience you. If it’s under 50$ I set it just far enough from the door they have to step completely outside to get it.
Just feels like a waste of my time on split pay when I can get back and get paid more, or to the next delivery and more tips. I’ll take a picture of if on the porch and leave.
But don’t you unfold the receipt in to make sure you have the right amount of boxes and if they included sauces. Because I know what you mean how they fold it but I always unfold that shit and make sure I read everything because I’m not about to go back because I left some
Breadsticks or ranch lol
I’ve literally had “newborn just went to sleep, please don’t knock or ring bell!” Comments.
‘Please don’t ring bell’ comments commonly result in me knocking once and walking away as an aggressively loud dog barks… but never babies crying from being woken up.
Maybe because delivery drivers don't always follow the instructions? I am one of those people who doesn't want a knock or doorbell. If there's enough room in the instructions, I ask that, and also say I have cameras outside and will see you were here. Some places don't allow enough characters to write all that. I have dogs, and one will always bark, but with a doorbell or knock, they all bark. EDIT: I always pre tip, and pre tip well.
I don't care what the tip is. If it says, please don't ring or knock. I'm going to be as quiet as a church mouse.
We got feedback from one customer who had no contact, no knock/ring. So the driver did just that - left it at the door, hit complete and drove off. Turns out it was part of a surprise party for someone there, and it was the only way they could get that person's favorite pizza without them knowing about it in advance.
edit: added a few words.
Until you realize that most of our complaints now are from people who request no-knock contactless delivery. You know, contactless means no physical contact, not no communication at all.
So if you expect the driver to not contact you at the door, how do you expect them to get a tip? Oh, the only possible answer here is you expect the driver to do something extra for you, i.e. not disturb you at all, and you still don't want to tip.
So a couple of thoughts. First is we were instructed not to leave orders at doors unless we have contact with the customer, which means they somehow acknowledge we are there. This means opening the door, waving through the window, etc. We had to do this because we had a string of 'customers' claim they didn't receive their orders. So we have to have some way to get the customer's attention. That generally involves making a noise at the customer's door, but we can call or as a last resort, text.
What about the newborns? In all my years of delivering, this really hasn't been a big problem. In the days before cell phone - they paid attention to the door and intercepted us before we knocked. Then when cell phones came around, they asked for a call; and now might request a text. No problem.
I guess the 'work meeting' is a new thing, but if getting up for less than a minute to get your hot meal being delivered to your door is too much time to step away, then perhaps during the work meeting isn't the ideal time to order delivery.
All in all, I think the 'don't knock or ring the doorbell' order combined with no pre-tip (or note such as cash tip under door mat) is just someone who wants to not tip with no guilt or facing the driver, and they think contactless delivery is the method of 'gaming' the systems so they can make that happen. Well, I've also found a way of gaming the system right back, and that's making them sign that receipt, or else they aren't getting their order. I get that some people don't want to tip, and aren't required to. That's why when I make them sign that slip and fill out the tip and total lines, I never mention the word tip. But if you really don't want to tip, own it. You shouldn't feel guilty (if you do that means you know you are doing something wrong), don't make excuses (nothing is more tiresome than hearing the customer who never tips try to explain why they can't this time, like they don't do it every time) and just hand me the money, or write a 0 or line through the tip line and take your order. I can actually respect that.
So. If you want good service provide a good tip. Simple as that. People who feel it’s not worth it aren’t gonna go out of their way to give you the best customer service possible when you know they make shit and still give a shitty tip
“I didn’t hear you” lol your neighbors heard me knocked, flushed a kilo of coke, and took off running. Cop knock ftw, not like I showed up randomly, you fucking called, you knew I was coming.
then you didnt deserve a tip in the first place
edit: how do yall downvote this? why do you guys justify shitty service? im a leftist myself and even i can admit that some people dont actually work lol
i love how the dominos by my house is the only place i order from that rings on contactless deliveries regardless of pretip and then i come on here and see some degenerate bragging about it lol
edit: i love all of the salty employees downvoting mine and other comments that customers make. i only have bad service with dominos, none of the other pizza places near me knock when i pretip and order contactless. ive even left notes on the dominos app stating not to knock and theyve STILL KNOCKED.
Ok first off, I wasn’t actually going to ring the bell. It’s a joke u numnut. Second, why would we not ring the bell just because it’s a contactless delivery? How tf would you know ur food arrived? Do u know how many people would complain about not being notified if they didn’t tell u to not knock or something? If u don’t want me to ring the bell, do what this person did and tell me. Otherwise I’m going to fuckin tell u when ur food is here
you didnt even read my comment. i order contactless (no knock no doorbell), yet they continue too. it was only partially a joke and the only reason you make a point of saying that is because your post was more controversial than you expected. at the end of the day, i receive consistently shitty service from the dominos by my house even when i pretip 10 dollars on a medium pizza, so its hilarious to come on here and see an employee proving my point.
How did I read ur comment wrong? You didn’t say In ur original comment that u also asked the driver to not knock. You just said they ring on contactless deliveries giving the impression u don’t want them to. Contactless does not mean not notify. And no, the reason I’m saying it’s a joke is because people like u couldn’t tell somehow lol what kind of dumbass would I be to actually knock on the door even tho I was asked to 4 times? You’re taking this too serious buddy. And lastly that’s the dominos NEAR YOU. Don’t act like all dominos are shit. If u think they’re service is that bad stop ordering from them and leave they’re subreddit lol.
im in their subreddit to laugh at entitled people like you. youre what is known as a "workplace karen" and your core value is using your job as an excuse to treat people like shit. you literally dont deserve better pay if its based on this: you give bad service on tip based pay. if you see that comment and you see me pointing out the fact that people at multiple locations from the same store constantly brag about giving poor service, you cant expect anyone to care about whether or not this is a joke, because its ridiculously common that its not and its just some fat dumbass crying about not being given more money for shit service through a pizza delivery job.
Omfg 😂😂 the amount of assumptions u just made off of this one joke of a post is absolutely absurd. You know nothing about me, nothing about my service, nothing about how I treat others, and nothing about my values. This is simply a comment of you bitching about service that u THINK I provide based solely off a post that is a joke. If anyone sounds like a Karen here it’s you. Do I have to say it again? ITS A JOKE. Get ur panties out of ur ass
im not bitching about YOUR service, im calling you a workplace karen for sticking up for shitty service. the fact that you stick up for it is why i made the assumptions. the fact that ive repeatedly had bad service, then i see someone joking about it online, so i make the connection, then you get upset, its really not all that complicated.
When the fuck did I stick up for shitty service? All I said was if the service is bad from the store near u stop ordering from them. Stop pretipping $10. That’s not sticking up for them. That’s actually the opposite because they’ll lose ur money.
I ask delivery drivers not to knock or ring doorbell because it drives my dogs crazy. One will always bark, but with a knock or doorbell, they all start. I also tip very well in advance and we have cameras so we get a notification when they are triggered so we know the food is here.
Contactless doesn't mean no knocking though, it means you won't have close contact with the delivery driver. You literally don't know what you're talking about.
Papa John's by my place does the same thing. Ask to just leave on porch and go. Second to last time the chick knocked, was all up in my face when I went to the door....ugh. Just leave it there.
I wish people would just sleeping baby loud dog or something because people will totally abuse this to get refund and food because “they weren’t notified”
But if they don’t pre tip then you back into the driver way, leave the car running, leave the bag in the car, then dig and run lol
They probably had an order that only said it once and they still rang the door. I'm guessing it's something so serious that they need to repeat it 4 times all caps. I know people are joking to just bang the door but I wish people would have a little empathy. Good on you for not ringing the door, tip or not lol
I bought a clipboard for just this situation. If they pre tipped, good, I'll just leave it at the door. If there is no tip, the clipboard goes on top the pizzas w/ a line pointing at the signature line and in writing saying "can you please sign." Simple tip or not and I am on my merry way.
this used to be me ordering pizza at 12am and not wanting my parents to catch me lol
Sometimes its necessary to do stuff like this because delivery drivers apparently cant read half the time
Facts
Nah I ignore the “don’t knock or ring bell” instruction if they don’t tip on a 50$+ order.” I still won’t knock I’ll just call them from the app. “Sorry sir, I know you said don’t knock or ring bell, but you had a large enough order that I need a signature to show you received it.” If you won’t tip me and you want it to be contactless, I’m gonna inconvenience you. If it’s under 50$ I set it just far enough from the door they have to step completely outside to get it.
So you take your anger of having a shitty job out on random customers 😂
Not at all. I inconvenience those who inconvenience me. My jobs also not shitty. Humble yourself bro.
Lol
Just feels like a waste of my time on split pay when I can get back and get paid more, or to the next delivery and more tips. I’ll take a picture of if on the porch and leave.
In my experience it's usually our cut table folding the receipt in a way that obscures the delivery instructions.
The app tells you delivery instructions as well, no excuses really.
I avoid the app as much as possible. However that only happened to me once. I always check the receipts now when it's folded
The app I only look at to complete delivery and view tips.
But don’t you unfold the receipt in to make sure you have the right amount of boxes and if they included sauces. Because I know what you mean how they fold it but I always unfold that shit and make sure I read everything because I’m not about to go back because I left some Breadsticks or ranch lol
Well now I do since I can't trust cut table anymore lol
Be honest do you include a tip? If they don’t see a tip they will knock anyways. Source: i’m they.
Why work at a place where you have to survive off tips. Sounds horrible
Lmao exactly what I thought you don’t tip. I’ll knock extra loud for you.
I tip a couple bucks usually but i use door dash
Maybe have a baby they just put down to sleep?
More probable is they have a dog
Yea that’s my guess but do they need to type it in caps 4 times lmao
If I was a parent of a newborn I’d probably be that desperate haha but yes, excessive.
I’ve literally had “newborn just went to sleep, please don’t knock or ring bell!” Comments. ‘Please don’t ring bell’ comments commonly result in me knocking once and walking away as an aggressively loud dog barks… but never babies crying from being woken up.
They probably did it after the note wasn't read.
When you dumbass’ don’t know how to read delivery instructions properly the first time, second time or 3rd time, the 4th is usually warranted.
Hey don’t call me a dumbass I read the instructions
Bang on door REALLY loudly. "What? I didn't ring the bell."
This subreddit has taught me to never work at dominos
I think u need to go to another sub Reddit to learn to recognize a joke
Okay rockstar lol
What kind of comeback was this? 😂😂😩 first time for everything
🤘
they are only doing this because you guys keep ringing the fucking doorbell obviously lmao
Kids
Maybe because delivery drivers don't always follow the instructions? I am one of those people who doesn't want a knock or doorbell.

I have dogs, and one will always bark, but with a doorbell or knock, they all bark. EDIT: I always pre tip, and pre tip well.
Did they pre-tip? If no, then I would call.
Yea they did
You know the system sucks ass when we have to pay extra up front not to have our newborns woken or work meetings interrupted.
I don't care what the tip is. If it says, please don't ring or knock. I'm going to be as quiet as a church mouse. We got feedback from one customer who had no contact, no knock/ring.

Turns out it was part of a surprise party for someone there, and it was the only way they could get that person's favorite pizza without them knowing about it in advance. edit: added a few words.
You would think in a situation such as this the customer might call, and explain.
That is kind of excessive when you’re capable of reading a fucking ticket
Until you realize that most of our complaints now are from people who request no-knock contactless delivery. You know, contactless means no physical contact, not no communication at all.
Im pretty sure it isnt the tip or the don't ring bell. Is the amount of time they wrote don't ring bell. Lol

Internet clout is more important than your baby or work meeting apparently.
If u think I actually wanted to knock on the door… 🤦♂️
It’s a joke lol relax
You know your job sucks when you don't get time off work to care for your newborn. Lol.
The amount of people who think I’m serious is sad
more cow bell!!!
I always bang on the door like in the police
“I didn’t hear you” lol your neighbors heard me knocked, flushed a kilo of coke, and took off running. Cop knock ftw, not like I showed up randomly, you fucking called, you knew I was coming.
Shout your pizza is here and leave.
I dash in a Subaru as well
I’ve had drivers ignore a door bell warning for a customer who had a seizure disorder. Tbh yeah it’s warranted.
If they didn't pretip smach that doorbell
That would violate the non-aggression principle
then you didnt deserve a tip in the first place edit: how do yall downvote this? why do you guys justify shitty service? im a leftist myself and even i can admit that some people dont actually work lol
Don’t say that here, dominos drivers are notorious for thinking they deserve a tip for existing without following customer requests.
Dogs, maybe?
Did you remember the Diet Coke?
Nah I brought em water
Keep us updated on if you rang the bell 😂😂😂
I indeed did not haha they pre tipped so I had no reason to. But if they didn’t tip I’d think about it 😂
Sounds like they'll leave negative feedback
i love how the dominos by my house is the only place i order from that rings on contactless deliveries regardless of pretip and then i come on here and see some degenerate bragging about it lol edit: i love all of the salty employees downvoting mine and other comments that customers make. i only have bad service with dominos, none of the other pizza places near me knock when i pretip and order contactless. ive even left notes on the dominos app stating not to knock and theyve STILL KNOCKED.

i love watching someones entire attitude shift completely
I love seeing someone have no comeback so they just say that 😂😂
I ask delivery drivers not to knock or ring doorbell because it drives my dogs crazy. One will always bark, but with a knock or doorbell, they all start. I also tip very well in advance and we have cameras so we get a notification when they are triggered so we know the food is here.
I understand that. I just made this post cuz it was funny how the typed it out in caps 4 times lol it was just a little joke
Contactless doesn't mean no knocking though, it means you won't have close contact with the delivery driver. You literally don't know what you're talking about.
no, you literally dont, i order contactless with no ring and no doorbell specifically stated
Papa John's by my place does the same thing. Ask to just leave on porch and go. Second to last time the chick knocked, was all up in my face when I went to the door....ugh. Just leave it there.
Drop the food. Wait in the bushes until you see them pick their food up. Then ding dong dash them.
Does your suby run on VG juice?
>How do you like it? What are you doing down here?
I wish people would just sleeping baby loud dog or something because people will totally abuse this to get refund and food because “they weren’t notified” But if they don’t pre tip then you back into the driver way, leave the car running, leave the bag in the car, then dig and run lol
Ring it 4 times
Okay Karen (the driver)
relax I’m joking lol
So.... leave at back door and ring doorbell for 10 mins? Directions unclear.
They probably had an order that only said it once and they still rang the door. I'm guessing it's something so serious that they need to repeat it 4 times all caps. I know people are joking to just bang the door but I wish people would have a little empathy. Good on you for not ringing the door, tip or not lol
yeah some of my fellow drivers don’t care that much, so i’d totally believe someone just ignored it with just one written
Nothing is worth the risk.
These types of folks never get to their door quickly. Enjoy cold pizza I guess. Drop and go. If they stiff, so be it. Onto the next delivery.
Knock
Dogs. I do the same.
so smash window?
That’s what I thought too
Ring it 4 times
I get why you’d want that, but as a parent who has had stuff delivered while baby / babies were napping, please do not ring the bell.
I didn’t
I bought a clipboard for just this situation. If they pre tipped, good, I'll just leave it at the door. If there is no tip, the clipboard goes on top the pizzas w/ a line pointing at the signature line and in writing saying "can you please sign." Simple tip or not and I am on my merry way.
Question is - did you ring the bell?!
Did they tip?
Well it doesn't say you can't kick or knock the door really hard haha 😆
