If you’ve all been exposed, they should have you at home with store closed; you shouldn’t be delivering any food/be open. Props to you.

I'm not against limited delivery staying going during this, but in this particular case, I agree. If there is KNOWN exposure, it's different

Domino's nets 30k/yr on each location... do the math on how that works out.
Franchise owner earns 30k/yr and parent company also gets ~30k/yr. 2018 net of 367.1M/~12,000 locations ~30k/yr net per location. 1/
Cost for a franchise is 120-400k, and gets about 5-20% yearly return. McD's typical franchise return is around 5%, so its not a bad return.
The risk is substantially lower to own a Domino's franchise as compared to other franchises or ventures, so its a lot more competitive.
More competition, means that benefits reflect industry norms, not the values or principles of the owner.
icthree
They all fired
They net ~30k/yr/location... its easier to fire everyone. Also they probably took a shaved 1-4k off the net for that single stunt.

Funny thing about markets. If who ever was serving the market goes under someone else will take their place.

3/? Plus with places still offering curbside/delivery it provides income for folks that would otherwise have none.
4/? Just don't be a dick if someone is out of something on your order because they are out of stock, and tip well.

What about the box? The delivery guys hands?

You shouldn't; when the food is put in the box, its internal temperature is too high for coronavirus. Coughing on the box is the problem.

Bullshit. It contaminates surfaces. Food is a surface. If the person prepping it is asymptomatic and touches it, that's potential infection.
As someone who works in food service, people touch the insides of containers and your food all the time.

I'm so fucking tired of so many different articles out there with all kinds of different damn "facts" that make it hard to know which's rigt
their hands on a good day, or think about the box being contaminated), then start eating, want to bet there's high chance of infection? 2/2

You can wash sauce packs, don't use napkins from outside home, transfer food to new containers and reheat.

It's called the burden of proof. You are claiming the story false, you must prove its false.

That’s not how “burden of proof works”

SetPriorityChaos
Domino's nets 30k/yr on each location... do the math on how that works out.
SetPriorityChaos
Franchise owner earns 30k/yr and parent company also gets ~30k/yr. 2018 net of 367.1M/~12,000 locations ~30k/yr net per location. 1/
SetPriorityChaos
Cost for a franchise is 120-400k, and gets about 5-20% yearly return. McD's typical franchise return is around 5%, so its not a bad return.
SetPriorityChaos
The risk is substantially lower to own a Domino's franchise as compared to other franchises or ventures, so its a lot more competitive.
SetPriorityChaos
More competition, means that benefits reflect industry norms, not the values or principles of the owner.
icthree
They all fired
SetPriorityChaos
They net ~30k/yr/location... its easier to fire everyone. Also they probably took a shaved 1-4k off the net for that single stunt.

If an infected person contaminates the boxes/packets/napkins you are holding, which you then touch your mouth with (people don't wash 1/

This is excellent. Thank you.

Not talking food. Talking infected handlers and contaminated surfaces.

Transfer food out of containers, reheat properly, and wash your hands with soap and water before you eat. Dispose garbage immediately.

Don't think the virus clings or attached to objects. I've seen too many articles discussing the low chance of it passing via nonanimate

The Diamond Princess Cruise that was infected? They found it 17 days after they disembarked. It's also found on contaminated surfaces.

I'm so fucking tired of so many different articles out there with all kinds of different damn "facts" that make it hard to know which's rigt

their hands on a good day, or think about the box being contaminated), then start eating, want to bet there's high chance of infection? 2/2

Once again, I didn't talk about the food, but the containers/surfaces.

Boxes maybe. Sauce packets? Absolutely not. No one is saucing their food and thinking "lemme go wash hands again"
ajchafe
You can wash sauce packs, don't use napkins from outside home, transfer food to new containers and reheat.

More like parmesan packets that are tossed in by an infected person.

This is basically a workers union, which is essential in securing rights for the working class.
BubblesTheFish
No, those are evil and never work.
DidItForScience
Anyone remember the '80s when conservatives were gung ho about unions?
AmArschdieRaeuber
They work extremly well everywhere outside the US. It's one of the reasons why walmart left Germany. The US workers kind of stopped doing it
AmArschdieRaeuber
due to rampant propaganda.
wadatahmydamie
They also stopped doing it because Walmart will shut a store down completely if they unionize.

which is preferable to wage theft. Someone else will take their place, probably someone who pays decent wages.

You forgot the /s

Did he? I can't tell sarcasm from actual trump voters anymore.
JHawke
You can choose whether I was optimistic or sarcastic :P
manulofdoom
Touche.
BubblesTheFish
I don't care about downvotes, but just so you personally know, I didn't think that needed an /s because it was so obviously sarcasm.

Thrown into the pepperoni slicer and replaced by temp workers.

Peperoni pizzas are cheap for a reason.

guy who made the post deleted his account, people are saying its a fake

Well if it was china they would've just machinegunned them by now
Rin007
Well neither the post nor the user exists on reddit so...make your own conclusions.
catsnacks
It did a few hours ago. I wonder why they took it down....
pandastrafe
Either fake or the person was overwhelmed by the attention.
greggbert
Guy who posted this BS troll story feels pretty satisfied with himself.
AcquiredSire
What's not believable about people striking at a time like this?
UhhuhSpaceRunner
May not be a bs story, factory near me had 1000 walk out thismorning
cepacolusmaximus
Ok that's the second time you made that claim. Can you back it up?
DarthJ0e
Probably doesn’t fit his narrative.
Pandiaa
he was right

greggbert
You want me to prove that something that nobody has evidence of happening didn't happen?
reduglie
*No
SpaceBoi0529
Goes both ways. If you're wrong, you become "the b.s. guy".
greggbert
I was right tho
DillPixels
If you make a claim it’s your burden to supply evidence to back it up.
greggbert
I agree that's why the post is not credible
rusrsdude
If you make a claim you gotta give it substance. That's called burden of proof.
greggbert
Agreed. OP claim had none, was false
KMakyra
It's called the burden of proof. You are claiming the story false, you must prove its false.
greggbert
Reddit deleted the story because it was false
BQZip
That’s not how “burden of proof works”
BQZip
You have it backwards. I see NOTHING other than this post that shows it is true!

Check the post reddit deleted it because it was fake
