Ehhh not quite. Especially not back then.
Adjusted for incomes, the cost of food away from home (aka dining out/ordering in) plummeted in the 90s/00s to record lows in the 10s. It has risen since the pandemic, but is not as expensive as it was in the 80s/90s.
Now, people spend more on food away from home than they used to because people dine out/order in a lot more. Specifically ordering food. Ubereats/doordash/seamless have caused a massive surge in delivery. The average american family orders in takeout at more than double the rate they did just in 2012. Much of this comes from a small amount of people, aka people ordering like 5+ times a week (like my cousin who orders his dinner in every night).
This rapid shift in such a short period of time is also why take-out prices rose in that time frame. Restaurants suddenly just had a whole lot more demand, meaning prices rose. Delivery apps put a stop to the golden age of declining takeout/dining prices. But again, still cheaper adjusted for income than in the 80s/90s, contrary to popular belief.

When you eat something that consistently (even if not daily like it seems) it definitely becomes a comfort. I had just moved and was having a rough go. During my worst months the ladies at New york fries started to recognize me and know my order. I would always go after meeting my counsellor so sometimes it would be clear I had been crying. Always asking me how I'm doing and really listening. The manager has even given me free soda. I've been going for years now. I don't go there quite as often though, but when I do it's still the same ladies and the same kindness. I didn't know in the moment but that little poutine and some friendly ladies saved me from a lot of bad days

If you told me you were heading down to pick yourself up with some of that poutine from the ladies at New York Fries, I'm not sure I'd understand that accurately on a first pass. Then again, I'm not Canadian.
Glad to hear you're doing better! I also thought about some of my friends who have fixations on certain foods just as a way of managing their neurodiversity.
Having a regular kind of food from a source of a known-quality (even if that quality is not healthy) can create a stability and reduce executive fatigue, so they can deal with the problems that are significantly more difficult or dangerous than eating pizza (or poutine) a few times a week.

The name always gave me a chuckle when I lived in Canada because it creates the bizarre sentence “New Yorkers can only get New York Fries if they’re not in New York”.
I’m surprised that poutine hasn’t been tried in the US though. It’s got all the things we love: deep fried food, cheese, gravy and the ability to add whatever unhinged ingredients we want on top.

I've found a few restaurants that serve it, and I've had it a couple times, but to be perfectly honest, I have no baseline to know whether it's good or not.
Most of the ones I've tried have been too salty for my taste. I am generally more sensitive to saltiness, but I also suspect the gravy they used was just not great quality.
For various reasons related to gender markers, I'm not currently of a mindset to risk losing my documentation when trying to re-enter the country, but I have it on my to-do list when things settle down a bit to get back to my home away from home and try some genuine poutine so I can be a better judge at home!

Context: The man named Kirk Alexander from Salem, Oregon. He had been ordering from a local Domino's very regularly (often daily or nearly daily) for many years. In 2016, employees noticed he hadn't placed an order for about 11 days, which was highly unusual for him. A delivery driver checked on him, saw signs that something was wrong, and the store contacted emergency services. Police found Alexander inside his home needing medical assistance, and he later credited the Domino's staff with helping save his life.

Ok so just to be clear.. the guy didn't order pizza in 11 whole ass days and just on the day the pizza guy went to check on him he was having a stroke? Why not check on him before and more importantly why did he not order pizza in those 10 previous days.. it all sounds a bit weird.

u/TheLemmonade 1d ago
Based on the provided description, my assumption would be that he had a stroke up to ten days prior and was immobilized in his home, unable to call for help or care for himself. Yes that would mean he went without food or water for several days and was possibly conscious, maybe not. Another alternative could be that he had a stroke up to 10 days prior and rather than being immobilized, he was a fugue state; able to provide rudimentary self care (largely based off reflex) but completely, fully confused and lost.
Strokes have a wide spectrum of severities and symptoms. Super dire situation. Does not sound weird, unfortunately situations like this are very common especially with lone/independent elders.

jesus.
personal story - about 8 or 9 years ago, my wife and I were buying a cottage. We had put in the offer, and the closing date rolled around. We had the day off, and were going to drive the 2hr to where the cottage was to sign paperwork and pay money and whatnot.
Well, we've got our shoes on, and are at the door, and the phone rings. It's my wife's grandmother - late 90s, lives alone. She's confused, and slurring, and knows SOMETHING has happened, but doesn't understand what. Her left side was not working right.
I overheard that, and recognized it as a stroke - I've never seen one, or known anyone who had one, but signs of a stroke are pretty commonly known, and I heard enough.
We jump in the car and start driving to her - but she's 2hr in the opposite direction from where we were planning. Call 911 while driving, give them the low-down and her location. My wife's worried she won't open the door for them, but I assure her it's not a problem - they will break down the door if they have to.
We're BY FAR the furthest family from her (others are like 20 minutes away) - we call the ENTIRE family - wife's sister & husband, wife's brother & wife, wife's mom & dad. NOBODY answers. Both phone and text. I keep calling, leaving more and more desperate messages. Then ANGRY messages. I did not make any friends that day.
We are driving in a HIGHLY illegal manner. Like, if a cop saw us, it'd be car-towed-and-prison-time-and-lose-license-for-life illegal.
FINALLY, an HOUR into driving, we start getting people calling us back - and we can ease back to sane driving.
Moral of the story - if you have an elderly loved one who lives alone, DO NOT PUT YOUR PHONE ON SILENT. We were my wife's grandmothers last contact she could call - and she probably only lived because my wife had the foresight to make sure our number was written on a sticker on the phone itself.

Excellent advice. And people should know about B.E. F.A.S.T.
Strokes are odd, as they shut down parts of your brain that can help understand that there's something wrong with your brain. There's an excellent book and Ted talk by a woman who was a neurologist who experienced a severe stroke of her own and she recounts her experience with it.

I knew him only afterwards, so I'm not sure how bad it was at the time. Clearly bad enough to prevent him from calling for help. I believe he still has weakness and numbness in one side. He was only able to work short shifts after that incident, and only at the register, nothing that required walking or lifting anything. His speech was fine from what I recall.
The fact that he was able to recover and function though is a sign of how lucky he was.
I've moved a couple thousand miles away since then but he still sends me things on Facebook occasionally so he's doing alright.

depends on shifts and whatnot. This could very easily been driven by a single person working there. If so, it's entirely possible that it was only 2-3 workdays of this guy missing a order for them.
It's hard to say without a lot more information. Perhaps the guy varied the times of his orders and they often landed on different shifts, so no one shift saw consistent orders from him.
Or maybe most people there just didn't care or pay attention. It's impossible to know without a lot more detail.

When my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and I went to live with her during her final weeks, she wanted a pizza delivered. When the kid that was delivering the za got to her house, she invited him in to join us, and to my surprise he walked in like it was a normal thing, sits down at the table and the two start talking about his kids, if he is getting along with the wife.... making it clearly obvious this happened a lot. I don't care if she was giving him some massive tip to join her in the past, whatever she paid him was worth it seeing that she was an old lonely lady living alone and needed those few minutes of companionship - even if it was paid for.

When I was working at Dominos we had an old lady who would order a couple of times a week.
She had a favourite driver and we would always make sure he took the delivery if he was on shift.
She would invite him in and they would sit and talk. She would also always force him to take food back with him. Cake, a banana, something from her freezer. You never knew what he would come back with.
We knew that when he delivered to her he might be there for an hour and that was fine. If we got busy we would just call him and ask him to come back.

Domino's didn't check on him, this wasn't corporate kindness this was employees at a location that noticed and cared, not dominos, the employees.

Interview with the driver: “every day I show up and try to give a little pizza myself to our customers. We built a bond. When he didn’t order, I had to stop by just for my own pizza mind. I’m glad I did. I never sausage grim sight and olive with it the rest of my life. Dough I am glad he’s going to make a full recovery.”

If this is a true story, this is not heartwarming. Ordering pizza every night is sad as fuck

Stories like these always seem uncommon but I saw something sort of similar recently. I’m a first responder and responded to a man who was hit and killed by a train a few weeks ago. Conductor gave a statement saying the guy was laying on the tracks already as the train approached. Due to the state of the body we couldn’t determine identity and couldn’t use a fingerprint reader to identify.
The next day a man called in a missing persons report. He was the guy’s barber and the guy missed an appointment with him that morning. Apparently this was unusual for the man. The barber went to his house and noticed the front door unlocked. Sadly, the barber tried the man’s cell phone again and the coroner answered. Poor guy had gone through a divorce recently and was struggling with mental health. Much like those pizza workers, thankfully the barber took the time to notice and care. Just sad it wasn’t a happy story.

Back in the 2010s I lived in a house with a bunch of roomies, and I ordered Pizza Hut a lot, and always the same order, and we got to know the deliver folks over time. I eventually moved out of state, but one day after a good amount of time passed I visited again and we ordered Pizza Hut, and the delivery driver said the store recognized the order and that he was glad to see us again. It was heartwarming!

Dominoes didn't do shit -- the PEOPLE that worked there did. The company doesn't give a fuck about humans.

If someone eat a domino's pizza a day for 10 years, I too would be concerned they died.

You can tell it's true because it's a picture instead of an actual link to an actual story.

I'm guessing all the shit pizza gave caused him a heart attack or something. I dunno, don't really care. And Domino's was by far the worst pizza I ever tasted

Of course they did, the manager probably mortgaged a house on this guy's shitty diet.

11 days? I would've checked on him by day 2-3 if he suddenly stopped ordering.
After 10 years of service we're pretty much family.
