Domino’s Pizza Driver Caught Doing Good–Saves A Life

Domino’s Pizza has had its share of bad press, most notoriously for the infamous booger pizza YouTube incident. On the rebound, they’ve made a comeback with a fairly ingenious ad campaign that basically admitted their pizza needed an overhaul. However, this latest action by a Domino’s employee takes the cake (or pie, as it were):

A Memphis pizza delivery driver credited with saving a customer who’d fallen at home says she suspected something was wrong in part because her own mother had twice fallen and been stuck on the floor.

Speaking Wednesday on NBC’s “Today” show, Domino’s delivery driver Susan Guy said she became concerned when she found out Jean Wilson had gone three days without ordering her daily pizza.Guy said her own mother had cancer and twice fell while living with her and spent hours on the floor, so she knew it was a possibility in Wilson’s case.

Guy went to Wilson’s home Monday and then called 911. Police later broke the door down and found Wilson on the floor, where she’d fallen Saturday.

Guy said she’s spoken to Wilson in the hospital and she’s doing well.

Saving a life is an extreme example of what we talked about in a recent post “Three Easy Things You Can Do to Get Your Business Noticed,” where we recommended: “Do the right thing, even when nobody’s looking. I assure you that even if you don’t get caught doing the right thing eventually somebody’s going to notice.” Of course this Domino’s employee didn’t do this to market the pizza chain, she did it out of human decency and concern for others. But she felt empowered to do it.

You can’t buy that kind of publicity. It generally gets delivered (sorry for the pun!) most to companies and organizations that don’t check their humanity at the door.
