How a Pizza Delivery Driver Saved the Life of a Regular Customer

pizza rescue news How a Pizza Delivery Driver Saved the Life of a Regular Customer

The Marion Country Sheriff’s department in Oregon shared this story on their Facebook about how the delivery drivers at a local Domino’s saved the life of a loyal customer:

On Sunday, May 8th an alert Domino’s delivery driver called the Sheriff’s Office after a regular customer failed to order a pizza from the Salem area company. Tracey Hamblen, an employee at Domino’s on Silverton Road NE, called the Sheriff’s Office after not speaking with the customer in 11 days. Mr. Hamblen had formed a relationship with the victim because of the regular orders and knew he suffered form severe health issues.

When the Sheriff’s Office arrived at the residence in the 4100 block of Penticton Circle NE, they could hear a man calling for help from inside the residence. Deputies forced entry and found Kirk Alexander, age 48, of Salem down and in need of immediate medical attention.

Thanks to the quick actions of Mr. Hamblen, Mr. Alexander is in stable condition at the Salem Hospital. The Sheriff’s Office would like to personally thank Mr. Hamblen for his quick actions and willingness to take time out of his day to care for others.

 

 

Domino's Will Start Delivering Pizza with a Driverless Robot

So far, it seems like this new “pizza robot” is only being introduced in New Zealand. According to a Facebook post by Domino’s, the new delivery system, that they call DRU, isn’t out in full force but it’s getting there:

DRU has a passion for delivering piping hot meals and a nice warm smile to customers. While he won’t be taking to the streets tomorrow, he is enjoying his early progress as a prototype and giving customers a glimpse into the future of what is possible.

This idea seems very similar to an April Fools day campaign that Domino’s UK ran last year. Could that be what started this project?
