<p>Most pizza delivery drivers have their fair share of annoying customers. There are the bad tippers, the late night customers who fall asleep, the rude entitled people who expect pizza to magically appear within moments, and those that inexplicably give off strange vibes. Most of the time, these customers are frustrating but ultimately harmless, but there are some whose behavior goes so far it gets them blacklisted.</p><p>While the concept of blacklisting normally conjures up images of exclusionary Hollywood executives, or potentially dangerous travelers, the same rules apply to shady customers who repeatedly put people&#39;s safety or comfort at risk.</p><h2>In <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/4aea9w/pizza_guysgirls_does_your_shop_have_a_no_delivery/" target="_blank">a popular Reddit thread</a>, pizza delivery drivers shared stories of the places they no longer deliver to, and it ranges from bizarre to terrifying.</h2><h2>1. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/bend1310/">bend1310</a>&#39;s manager went full Terminator.</h2><blockquote> <p>We had a guy and two girls order separately, then grab the pizzas and run.</p> <p>The girls had picked the food up and left, while the guy was paying. After 30 seconds the guy bolted.</p> <p>It was a $100 order.</p> <p>My manager, who is a frequent gym goer, leapt the counter and gave chase.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>The two girls had gotten into a car with the food, but when the saw my manager they drove off leaving the guy.</p> <p>My manager chased him three blocks, and was gaining on the guy when the girls pulled up and the guy got into the car.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Unfortunately, all three of them went to school with a kitchen hand at the store, so we had names, jobs, addresses, and facebook accounts.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>We contacted them all on facebook, and got them to pay for the pizzas the next morning under threat of contacting police. We also put them on the no delivery list.</p> </blockquote><h2>2. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/MyWordIsBond/">MyWordIsBond</a> was the lone deliverer.</h2><blockquote> <p>I&#39;m sure I&#39;m too late for this to really be seen, but here&#39;s my positive story...</p> <p>I delivered for a while in college, and there was two &quot;we don&#39;t deliver there&quot; neighborhoods. The manager actually allowed it to be driver&#39;s choice, but pretty much everyone said no. I actually had a friend who grew up in one of these neighborhoods and I knew it wasn&#39;t just drug dealing murdering psychopaths running rampant so I said yes, and I delivered to these neighborhoods.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>One time I was delivering to an apartment that was part of a tri-plex or quad-plex and some kid outside, probably like 5 or 6 years old, stuck his finger at me and said &quot;this is a robbery! Give me your money,&quot; I just chuckled and kept walking. While I was giving the person their pizza i heard from behind me &quot;The hell do you think you&#39;re doing, boy?! Don&#39;t you know he the only one who deliver here?!&quot; then as I was walking back to my car he was standing on the sidewalk (mom several feet behind him) and he said &quot;I&#39;m sorry&quot;</p> </blockquote><h2>3. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/colonelkidney/">colonelkidney</a> had cop escorts.</h2><blockquote> <p>Okay - we had a really nasty apartment complex in one area of Sacramento. Totally a no. One night a new guy took an order and actually accepted one from there. I was about to call back and say no (I was asst. manager at the time, but running pizzas that day), when in come two cops to pick up their pizza.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>They listen in and offer to &#39;tag along.&#39; I was dumb and crazy then, so we made the pizza and I loaded into my little truck and drove out there. As soon as we pull into the parking lot, the cop turns off ALL his lights and coasts in to th spot next to mine. I walk up, start the spiel, and start listening to their story of &#39;this guy&#39; or &#39;that guy&#39; ordered it.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>I started to walk away and one of the shady dudes steps out of the bushes next to me, where he&#39;d been hiding. Instantly, every light came on on the cop car, flashers, both spotlights pointing right at me, the cops getting out of the car - fast. Dude steps way way way back, I walk back to my car, and a couple cops got an extra free pizza that night, and I got a great story.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>4. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/myheadfire/">myheadfire</a> didn&#39;t deliver to the scammer dude.</h2><blockquote> <p>When I worked at a pizza place, we just had one person that we wouldn&#39;t deliver to because he would always refuse to pay and hassle the delivery guy, saying the pizza was cold, took too long, wasn&#39;t the right order, whatever. He probably got a couple free pizzas at least before we stopped bothering sending him anymore.</p> </blockquote><h2>5. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/J31ch0n/">J31ch0n</a>&#39;s shop banned a few sex creeps.</h2><blockquote> <p>At our shop we banned an older man who tried to molest one of our larger male employees. Another guy just happened to be masturbating facing the window so the drivers could see him this happened a couple times so the cops were called... turned out he had a record of doing this but also doing it in front of school buses.</p> </blockquote><h2>6. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Booner999/">Booner999</a> wished they could throw 200 sandwiches at this lady.</h2><blockquote> <p>I used to deliver sandwiches for a shop. We had to blacklist this one lady who would call up last minute and demand 50-100 sandwiches for her meetings and she wanted them delivered in 15 mins. We explained things to her over and over again that this was not how it worked, but she still demanded her order. So, when it showed up 45 mins later than expected, she became a monster, causing a scene, not tipping, sending in complaints to the district manager, etc.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>This happened so many times, and finally, one day, she called in an order for 200 sandwiches, wanted it in 15 mins. I delivered it myself and she took the sandwiches from me for her meeting. I sat there and waited for her to sign the receipt... and waited......... and waited. Turns out, she took the sandwiches in to her meeting and booked the hell out of there, not signing the receipt.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>She then called her bank to cancel the charge on her card and called us in for fraud. She had the nerve to call up our district manager and said that we OWED this to her since all of her orders were late. She was blacklisted after that and my district manager finally apologized for not believing me on this story. Drug Reps are the WORST!</p> </blockquote><h2>7. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Isord/">Isord</a> lives in a &quot;do not deliver&quot; complex.</h2><blockquote> <p>Apparently our entire complex is on the &quot;do not deliver after dark&quot; list at a local pizza place. That was encouraging to find out a week after moving in.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>8. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/sharlayan/">sharlayan</a>&#39;s store cut off a racist.</h2><blockquote> <p>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.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>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 again.</p> </blockquote><h2>9. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/BassAddictJ/">BassAddictJ</a> wasn&#39;t trying to die on the job.</h2><blockquote> <p>Former Dominos driver in a Central FL hood. The no service list were apartment complexes or streets where drivers had been robbed at gun point. The downtown store had some it&#39;ll do in daylight but no service after dark.</p> <p>F*ck that job.</p> </blockquote><h2>10. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/atsinged/">atsinged</a> had a lot of places on the list.</h2><blockquote> <p>Long time ago for me, but we had a huge delivery area and several entire apartment complexes blacklisted because they were hideously unsafe for anyone thought to be carrying money. There were also a couple where we would deliver to the front gate only, not go in to the complex itself.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>Greenspoint area, north side of Houston in the early 90s for those aware of the area.</p> </blockquote><h2>11. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/AreNotOnFire/">AreNotOnFire</a> is relieved they didn&#39;t see the goods.</h2><blockquote> <p>I used to be a delivery driver for Pizza Hut. I used to work the Sunday afternoon shifts and would have the same man order a supreme pizza every week. I was always the one to deliver his order because most of the time I was the only driver on duty at that time of day. Alan was a nice, quiet man who had a lovely front porch.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>One day, I didn&#39;t take his delivery for some reason. Poor Marvon took the delivery instead on the day that Alan decides to open the door stark naked. Alan wanted to show me (a small redheaded girl) the goods, not big black Marvon.

No one new knew this trick, and she just kept taking orders from all the newbies, I worked there for about 4 months and caught on after the first month or so, after that I spent the next few months claiming that the HORRIBLE tippers, were AMAZING tippers.

20 pizza delivery drivers share stories about houses on the 'no delivery' list.

Most pizza delivery drivers have their fair share of annoying customers. There are the bad tippers, the late night customers who fall asleep, the rude entitled people who expect pizza to magically appear within moments, and those that inexplicably give off strange vibes. Most of the time, these customers are frustrating but ultimately harmless, but there are some whose behavior goes so far it gets them blacklisted.While the concept of blacklisting normally conjures up images of exclusionary Hollywood executives, or potentially dangerous travelers, the same rules apply to shady customers who repeatedly put people&#39;s safety or comfort at risk.In a popular Reddit thread, pizza delivery drivers shared stories of the places they no longer deliver to, and it ranges from bizarre to terrifying.1. bend1310&#39;s manager went full Terminator. We had a guy and two girls order separately, then grab the pizzas and run. The girls had picked the food up and left, while the guy was paying. After 30 seconds the guy bolted. It was a $100 order. My manager, who is a frequent gym goer, leapt the counter and gave chase.  The two girls had gotten into a car with the food, but when the saw my manager they drove off leaving the guy. My manager chased him three blocks, and was gaining on the guy when the girls pulled up and the guy got into the car.  Unfortunately, all three of them went to school with a kitchen hand at the store, so we had names, jobs, addresses, and facebook accounts.  We contacted them all on facebook, and got them to pay for the pizzas the next morning under threat of contacting police. We also put them on the no delivery list. 2. MyWordIsBond was the lone deliverer. I&#39;m sure I&#39;m too late for this to really be seen, but here&#39;s my positive story... I delivered for a while in college, and there was two &quot;we don&#39;t deliver there&quot; neighborhoods. The manager actually allowed it to be driver&#39;s choice, but pretty much everyone said no. I actually had a friend who grew up in one of these neighborhoods and I knew it wasn&#39;t just drug dealing murdering psychopaths running rampant so I said yes, and I delivered to these neighborhoods.  One time I was delivering to an apartment that was part of a tri-plex or quad-plex and some kid outside, probably like 5 or 6 years old, stuck his finger at me and said &quot;this is a robbery! Give me your money,&quot; I just chuckled and kept walking. While I was giving the person their pizza i heard from behind me &quot;The hell do you think you&#39;re doing, boy?! Don&#39;t you know he the only one who deliver here?!&quot; then as I was walking back to my car he was standing on the sidewalk (mom several feet behind him) and he said &quot;I&#39;m sorry&quot; 3. colonelkidney had cop escorts. Okay - we had a really nasty apartment complex in one area of Sacramento. Totally a no. One night a new guy took an order and actually accepted one from there. I was about to call back and say no (I was asst. manager at the time, but running pizzas that day), when in come two cops to pick up their pizza.

As soon as we pull into the parking lot, the cop turns off ALL his lights and coasts in to th spot next to mine. I walk up, start the spiel, and start listening to their story of &#39;this guy&#39; or &#39;that guy&#39; ordered it.  I started to walk away and one of the shady dudes steps out of the bushes next to me, where he&#39;d been hiding. Instantly, every light came on on the cop car, flashers, both spotlights pointing right at me, the cops getting out of the car - fast. Dude steps way way way back, I walk back to my car, and a couple cops got an extra free pizza that night, and I got a great story. 4. myheadfire didn&#39;t deliver to the scammer dude. When I worked at a pizza place, we just had one person that we wouldn&#39;t deliver to because he would always refuse to pay and hassle the delivery guy, saying the pizza was cold, took too long, wasn&#39;t the right order, whatever. He probably got a couple free pizzas at least before we stopped bothering sending him anymore. 5. J31ch0n&#39;s shop banned a few sex creeps. At our shop we banned an older man who tried to molest one of our larger male employees. Another guy just happened to be masturbating facing the window so the drivers could see him this happened a couple times so the cops were called... turned out he had a record of doing this but also doing it in front of school buses. 6. Booner999 wished they could throw 200 sandwiches at this lady. I used to deliver sandwiches for a shop. We had to blacklist this one lady who would call up last minute and demand 50-100 sandwiches for her meetings and she wanted them delivered in 15 mins.

Apparently our entire complex is on the &quot;do not deliver after dark&quot; list at a local pizza place. That was encouraging to find out a week after moving in. 8. sharlayan&#39;s store cut off a racist. 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 again. 9. BassAddictJ wasn&#39;t trying to die on the job. Former Dominos driver in a Central FL hood. The no service list were apartment complexes or streets where drivers had been robbed at gun point. The downtown store had some it&#39;ll do in daylight but no service after dark. F*ck that job. 10. atsinged had a lot of places on the list. Long time ago for me, but we had a huge delivery area and several entire apartment complexes blacklisted because they were hideously unsafe for anyone thought to be carrying money. There were also a couple where we would deliver to the front gate only, not go in to the complex itself.  Greenspoint area, north side of Houston in the early 90s for those aware of the area. 11. AreNotOnFire is relieved they didn&#39;t see the goods. I used to be a delivery driver for Pizza Hut. I used to work the Sunday afternoon shifts and would have the same man order a supreme pizza every week. I was always the one to deliver his order because most of the time I was the only driver on duty at that time of day. Alan was a nice, quiet man who had a lovely front porch.  One day, I didn&#39;t take his delivery for some reason. Poor Marvon took the delivery instead on the day that Alan decides to open the door stark naked. Alan wanted to show me (a small redheaded girl) the goods, not big black Marvon. Alan never got another delivery. 12. EnglishMajorRegret&#39;s shop protected a man who was overtipping. 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&#39;t take orders from him, and that they&#39;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. 13. jsnoots got bitten by a rottweiler. I delivered pizza in NJ, I went on the porch to see a snarling Rottweiler behind the door. Not a big deal, happens a lot, I&#39;m a stranger the dog is just being a dog. The lady pushes him back, we do the pizza transaction and as I&#39;m turning to go the lady said, &quot;Oh my god, he&#39;s out.. &quot; the back door was open and the dog was charging around the house about to come on the porch.  I quickly opened the door to run inside but the lady screamed &quot;no, the really bad one is inside&quot; and I see a bigger Rottie just inside the hall so I stick myself between the screen door and the real door and I&#39;m trapped in an angry dog sandwich. The outside dog bites my calf because I can only close the screen door so much, not much damage but I&#39;m bleeding.  The manager goes to talk with the lady (it is like 1/8th of a mile from the store or that lazy bastard wouldn&#39;t of bothered) and Rotties are penned up out back. As soon as the lady starts talking to him another small mutt dog zips out the door and bites him on the hand. He made the call on no more pizza for them. 14. scottevil110&#39;s owner refuses to protect the delivery drivers. Our greedy a*s owner refused to develop such a list, even after two of our drivers were mugged at the SAME HOUSE. They wouldn&#39;t let us avoid neighborhoods, no matter how unsafe, no matter what time of day. 15. chronologicalist did not return to that house. In the late 90s I was still living in Detroit and in between desk jobs, so I delivered pizza as a part time gig. Detroit&#39;s neighborhoods have been rough for a few decades now, but the 90s seemed like they were on their own level. I won&#39;t say the specific neighborhood, but there were some really rough ones.  This one house, though...this house was just in awful shape. I kind of figured this would be bad even as I was driving down the street to get there. Every other house (literally) was either burned out or very obviously abandoned.  This one was just sh*tty looking, but I tried to be optimistic. I walked up to the door, awning kind of drooping over my head, and knocked. Almost instantly, the door cracked open, and all I saw was a dark hand with what looked like a glock. &quot;Leave the pizza and walk away.&quot;  I complied, obviously, and told my manager that I wouldn&#39;t be delivering to that neighborhood anymore. Still stuck around with that job for another 6 months or so, but that was probably the only thing on that level I&#39;ve seen. 16. esteban42 had a long list. We had a few blacklisted numbers/addresses. Mostly were for people who wrote bad checks or would constantly complain/return orders/make threats. One address that was on the absolute edge of our delivery area (a business all by itself on the edge of town) got blackballed because people from outside the delivery area would give that address and meet us there.  A couple of bad neighborhoods (including one that was literally 6 dilapidated trailers in the middle of a field with a two-track going back to it, nothing but crackheads with Pit Bulls and Rottys with no leash) were blacklisted too. 17. BruschiOnTap&#39;s boss was a scammer of sorts. Let me tell you this. One time I worked for this lady that owned Nardonne&#39;s Pizza in Atascadero, CA. She was the worst person ever, no one ever worked there longer than a couple months, and she just shit on everybody. She didn&#39;t have a &quot;No Delivery&quot; list but what she did have that was even worse was her own personal &quot;Whitelist Delivery Book&quot; that had EVERY single good tipper in the world on it.  Example: Delivery boy gets back and goes, &quot;Wow that guy tipped me 20 bucks!&quot; Owner then writes down that order/name/number in her book. Next time that guy calls to order a pizza she doesn&#39;t let anyone else deliver, she takes the delivery. No one new knew this trick, and she just kept taking orders from all the newbies, I worked there for about 4 months and caught on after the first month or so, after that I spent the next few months claiming that the HORRIBLE tippers, were AMAZING tippers. I would watch her go to these repeat customers and come back with a disgusted look on her face, I would ask her what&#39;s wrong but she didn&#39;t want to talk about it.  TL;DR: Pizza Owner would write down all the big tippers, she would only deliver to them, not share tips or nothing. I eventually started claiming the people that tipped horrible to be AMAZING tippers. Hilarity ensued. 18. Fail_Panda was remembered as one of the good customers. My house got put on the a &quot;deliver first&quot; sort of list because we ordered so much and so often. Eventually, they would know people&#39;s phone numbers and knew the address automatically and sometimes give us a discount. 19. I-come-from-Chino does not miss their job. Worked at papa john&#39;s the only place on the no delivery list were bounced checks. We had one driver get his knee bashed sideways with a baseball bat and money stolen, I delivered to the same place the next night. They didn&#39;t care about getting robbed because the driver is only supposed to have $25 max on him all times. So everything over that $25 the driver had to pay for. This driver I think had to pay around $125 after being assaulted.  Edit: I wanted to clarify about caring cash. We were told (for this very reason) that after every delivery (usually 2-3 houses) when you come back to the store you put all money in your drop box. Obviously if you got $60 cash on a delivery the store wouldn&#39;t make you pay for that but they had a record of how much the order was and how they paid. 20. lancegreene got set up by their manager. Prior to my freshman year of college (2002) I was delivering pizzas for Pizza the Hut in a decent suburb outside of Cleveland. I was the typical stoner/partyer easy going delivery guy, as a little background. One afternoon my manager requested I go change several hundred dollars for smaller bills for our register. As I&#39;m leaving the bank after getting change and getting into my car I sense someone approach from behind and suspect they are going to ask me for a cig.  Nope. Instead its a dude with pantyhose and his head and a knife and demands the money I have in my pocket and my keys. I oblige and he ultimately runs off and tosses my keys in the parking lot where I can see. When I run into the bank, no one at all saw the incident and wouldn&#39;t you know when they pull the footage there is sun glare in the exact spot on the window where my car was parked. The cops interrogate me and search the car, but seem to conclude that in fact I was telling the truth. My manager even vouched for me saying how I was a good kid.  Flash forward to about 10 years and I&#39;m telling the story at a party and bam, it hits me. My manager, who often dated unsavory characters, set up the whole thing. Considering I was robbed in front of a bank in broad daylight on the busiest street in my town, who the hell would know to rob me; especially since I hadn&#39;t put my car topper on at this point.
