You Promised You Wouldn’t Touch My Humanity, Domino’s Pizza

A delivery to remember

I recently ordered Domino’s online and selected a marvelous delivery option:

“Contactless.”

The website described it beautifully:

“A Contactless Delivery prevents direct personal contact between you and your Delivery Expert.”

I loved that.

But I wondered, How will you do it, Domino’s? Don’t forget: If we see you, that’s a contact, and my son and I will be watching for you unblinkingly. How, without help from the Devil, do you expect to make a zero-contact delivery while approaching a house that’s all eyes?

Knowing giant corporations are capable of anything, my boy and I hoped for the best:

We’d hear a hardwood creak behind us and cry out in terror then spin around and see nothing but a steaming box of pizza on the floor.

The website, to insure delivery accuracy, micromanages customers by forcing them to include “Instructions for Contactless Delivery Driver.”
