21 Wild Ways People Ended Up on ‘Do Not Deliver’ Lists

The concept of having food delivered is totally straightforward. And yet, there are still always a few customers who want to buck the system and go rogue in unbelievable ways, forcing establishments to place them on “Do Not Deliver” lists.

One Redditor recalled a customer who, knowing that her total was $40, handed him a twenty. When the Redditor asked for the rest of the money, she said that he “must’ve dropped” the other bill. He didn’t accept her blame, so she took things further and asked what he would do if she only gave him $20 and refused to pay for the rest. He replied by saying, “Well, I guess you’d only get half of your food.” 

After weighing her options, she decided to threaten him, saying that she was going to call the manager and tell them that he stole the other twenty. But he informed her it was a family business, and that she could call and talk to his dad if she wanted. She scowled and begrudgingly handed over the rest of the cash. She then, of course, was put on The List™.

Other Redditors have shared the wild ways customers have gotten banned from delivery services, including one family that forced drivers to take the first bite.

CrakAndJaxter 9y ago When I worked at Domino's, there was a guy on a no deliver list because he would always make the driver eat a piece of the food before he would accept it. Apparently he thought people were trying to poison him. - 4 Share ...

thebipeds . 3y ago We moved into a new place and the address had been blacklisted. Took a while to convince the pizza place and debt collectors we are not the old tenants. 16K Reply ...
sharlayan 9y ago Our delivery store has a woman who used to come in every so often, or order delivery, who did not want black people to interact with her or her food at all. One of our drivers, a really nice old black dude, delivered to her, and she simply slammed the door in his face. Another time, she walked out on a black cashier, because she swapped places with the white driver who was originally taking her carryout order. Finally, the manager put his foot down and told her not to come back or order from us ever
 9y ago I worked at a Little Caesars when I was a teenager. On a really snowy night one of our drivers got into a car accident and sadly lost his life on his way to deliver the pizza. The customer called in a little while after we learned about the accident and absolutely lost his shit that his pizza hadn't been delivered. When the manager explained the situation, he stated he did not give a fuck and wanted his pizza delivered for free. Needless to say, he got an earful from my manager and then was put onto
Origmavtak 9y ago I worked for a few places in a few towns. The most humorous was my hometown. We had a whole area marked as 'do not visit after dark.' We called it Light's Trailer Court. Literally, about fifty trailers in an oval set down in this bowl shaped valley. Everyone living there was a drunk. Men, women, old people, even some of the kids. We stopped visiting after dark because they went from the not so cute 'trade pizza for beer' to 'give us the pizza before we gut ya' one night. We also had a Mental Health
EuphoricFarmer1318 8mo ago . Edited 8mo ago My husband used to be a delivery driver and once delivered to a house with white power and several nazi symbols spray painted on it. Even as a white man he noped out of there and blacklisted them. It was a total wtf moment for him pulling into the driveway and seeing that
 8mo ago I was a night owl in college and took an evening delivery job for fun. I had a pretty sweet car at the time too, so I thought it would be a great job. One night I got sent to a less than nice part of town and a man much, much larger than me answered the door. Everything was fine and normal until he looked over me and said, Nice whip, want it. I laughed and looked up at him, quickly realizing he wasn't kidding and gestured to a large bulge in his pants. I felt
muzzy_logan 8mo ago We had to put Ben Aflecks house on the no delivery list because his scum bag friends never paid, never tipped. They would always say to put it on Ben's tab and racked up thousands not just with us but a lot of other places as well. Не would eventually pay the tab but his lame ass friends got his house black listed. This was almost 20 years ago and | still think about how shitty they were to us. 188 ...
GrouchyPasta . 8mo ago We had a regular who was only home maybe 1 out of every 10 deliveries. When he wasn't home, his instructions were to enter his unlocked home, and place the pizza on the bar in his basement. Не would encourage the drivers to help themselves to anything in the bar. I told my boss I didn't wanna end up chained to a radiator or blasted away by cops thinking I was breaking into the place. Huge fuckin creep. 361 ...
Airspirit26 8mo ago when I moved in with my brother, I ordered pizza hut, an hour later I called to see where they were and told me they do not deliver to this address and had cancelled my order.

EnglishMajorRegret 9y ago Edited 9y ago There was an older man who suffered from dementia that would order four fountain drinks and nothing else from my shop, then would tip about $300 every time. After hearing about it a couple times, I told my manager, and we all agreed to get in contact with his family, let them know we wouldn't take orders from him, and that they'd have to take some measures to keep him from doing the same with other establishments. God only knows how much money that guy gave away.
OldSkooler1212 8mo ago When I worked as a driver for Dominos in 1988 I put WVU's head basketball coach, Gale Catlett, on my personal do not deliver to list. Не lived about two or three blocks from the store and he would write a check for the exact amount of the bill and no tip. That part was fine, just another cheap asshole, but he also had a radio show a couple miles from the store. During the show we'd give them free pizzas every week and he'd say something like The dominos just arrived. It wasn't an official endorsement,
loose_lucid_elusive4 e 8mo ago There was this older lady we would deliver to. It was a 50-50 crap shoot on if she would tip 75 bucks or not answer the door at all. After enough of her not answering the door, she got banned. Everytime I delivered to her, was a no answer. My coworker got 2 consecutive deliveries with the 75 dollar tip. Bastard. 970 ...

Steelysam2 8mo ago When I was in high school I had a family order about $40 worth of food. I show up and she gives me a $20. Then she said I must have dropped the other one. When I said that she did not, she asked me what would I do if I o ly got $20. I told her that I guess she'd only get half the food. Then she threatened to call the manager and tell them I took the $20. It was my family's restaurant, I told her to go ahead and call my dad and

Happy_fairy89 8mo ago Many moons ago, in the early 200's my dad delivered pizza. On the team was one older guy, slightly frail with white hair so everyone called him Grandad. Не went on a delivery one night and didn't return so the boys went looking. Found him outside the house bleeding- they had waited for him in the bushes, hit him with a cricket bat and taken the pizza. They picked the wrong guy. All those pizza delivery guys exacted a revenge that | cannot talk about, the police were not involved and grandad recovered in hospital, returning some
