The Daily Pizza Order Stops after 10 Years – What’s Going On?

The staff at the store expected that order each day and found it pretty cool that this guy was such a pizza lover. Then the orders stopped coming, and the reason was shocking.

So the staff was shocked when they found out why his orders stopped coming. This was something none of them had ever expected. The investigation into Kirk’s life touched them in different ways; this was a story they’d never forget.

The staff always felt good when Kirk’s order would pop up on the screen.  “Oh, Kirk’s ordering,” as if he was an old friend. They looked forward to seeing Kirk’s request, preparing the pizza, and delivering it to him.

Sara Fuller’s delivery team approached her and asked if everything was ok with Kirk. Sara checked the order history and realized that it was true – Kirk hadn’t ordered pizza for more than ten days. They knew something was wrong.

The staff also knew that Kirk never took long trips and was usually at home. Could he have just gotten tired of Domino’s and started ordering from a new restaurant?  That was certainly a possibility, but still, they were concerned.

So they threw the theory of Kirk switching pizza vendors out the window. Aside from that, the Kirk they knew was a man of habit; if he had stopped ordering pizza, something was very wrong. Everyone feared the worst.

Tracey drove to Kirk’s home, becoming more nervous as he got closer. When he got out of his car and glanced at the house, he saw that the lights were on. That calmed him a bit; maybe someone was home. As he neared the door, he even heard the television going inside. He knocked on the door.

He sensed that something was very wrong, so the only thing to do was to go back to the restaurant and discuss it with his coworkers. If they all discussed the situation, they would come up with an idea about what to do next.

He explained to the 911 operator that he was calling from a local Domino’s restaurant.  “We have a customer that usually orders like every night from us. And he hasn’t ordered in 11 days.” After collecting all the details, the operator contacted the sheriff’s department.

The police got to the house and knocked on the door. No one answered. When they called out, announcing themselves, however, there was a response. It sounded like someone calling for help. They broke into the house and found Alexander lying on the floor.

Still, no one knew what would happen at this point. Some illness had clearly struck Alexander, but there were no witnesses, and no one knew how long he had been lying on the floor. There was no one to ask for more details, and Alexander could not talk to the medical team.

“We’re like a family here, and we were glad we were able to do something to help. We hope he’s able to fully recover from this,” said manager Sara Fuller. It was like their own grandfather had become ill and recovered; the staff felt tremendous relief.

Fuller said, “I think we were just doing our job checking in on someone we know who orders a lot. We felt like we needed to do something,” This team refused to see themselves as doing anything out of the ordinary. But the media felt differently.

The two Domino’s employees explained that they had visited Kirk every day to check on him since the incident. Host Robin Roberts was especially impressed that the restaurant staff continued to monitor Kirk.

On each successive day, Kirk was more and more alert.  By the third day they visited, he had been moved to a rehabilitation facility within the hospital. Seiber and Fuller expressed their relief that Kirk was doing so well.  But Roberts had more good news for them.

In addition to the movie tickets, Domino’s headquarters sent Fuller, Seibeer, and Tracey Hamblen, the driver who first approached Alexander’s home, to Domino’s Worldwide Rally. The Rally was an annual convention of Domino’s employees that takes place in Las Vegas. Well done, restaurant staff, and well done, Domino’s.
