A loyal customer’s unusual ordering hiatus prompts concerned employees to take action, ultimately saving his life

In an extraordinary tale of loyalty and community spirit, a man’s daily ritual of ordering Domino’s pizza for over a decade took an unexpected turn when his sudden silence led to a life-saving intervention by the pizzeria’s employees.

Kirk Alexander, a resident of Salem, Oregon, had become a familiar name at his local Domino’s, having ordered a pizza every day without fail. His consistent patronage meant that the staff not only knew him by name but also expected his regular order to appear on their screens.

However, in 2016, alarm bells rang when Alexander’s daily orders ceased abruptly, with no sign of him for 11 days. Concerned for their regular customer’s well-being, the Domino’s team sprang into action. Sarah Fuller, the general manager of the branch, recounted how the absence of Alexander’s orders raised eyebrows among the staff, prompting them to investigate further.

A delivery driver was dispatched to Alexander’s home, where signs of life were evident—lights were on, and a TV could be heard—but there was no response at the door. Sensing that something was amiss, the Domino’s team decided to contact the authorities.

Marion County Sheriff’s officers, upon arriving at the scene, heard a cry for help from inside the house. They forced entry and found Alexander in dire need of medical attention. He was quickly transported to the hospital, where he was stabilized and received visits from the concerned Domino’s staff, bearing flowers and cards.

Fuller emphasized that Alexander was more than just a customer; he was part of the Domino’s family. The staff’s proactive approach was a testament to their sense of duty and care for a regular patron.

The exact nature of Alexander’s medical emergency remains undisclosed, but the key takeaway is the remarkable vigilance of the Domino’s employees. Their timely intervention highlights the unexpected ways in which community members can look out for one another.

As a token of appreciation for their heroic act, the Domino’s team was later rewarded with tickets to see “Captain America: Civil War” on “Good Morning America.” However, it’s clear that their true heroism lies in their compassionate response to a customer in need.
