A Delivery Man Saw A Woman Mouth Three Words, Then He Jumped Into Action

Everything was business as usual for pizza delivery guy Joey Grundl. After receiving an order, he hopped into his car and drove a freshly-made pizza to the home of a lady in Waldo, Wisconsin. He knocked on the door, expecting the usual routine: he'd exchange pleasantries, deliver the goods, and be on his merry way. But when the door swung open, what Joey saw made his jaw drop. In seconds, his everyday routine became a matter of life and death.

Shock to the system

It was certainly a shocking moment for Joey, who was working for the local Domino’s Pizza at the time of the incident. He’d been delivering food for the pizza giant for around two years, but nothing during that spell could’ve prepared him for what he saw at the Waldo residence.

“I don’t really expect anything”

In order to fully convey the gravity of the situation, Joey spoke to CBS 58 in October 2018. He told the news station, “I don’t really expect anything [when I make deliveries]. I just kinda expect to show up, and leave.” Given that he made between 15 and 20 stops each shift without any major incidents, you can understand why this one caught him off guard!

Strange deliveries

But here’s the thing — delivering a pizza isn't always as easy as ringing a doorbell, as Joey himself learned that fateful day in Waldo. After going through that ordeal, his relatively uneventful shifts seemed like a dream in comparison. But that got us thinking — what happens if a driver is genuinely unsettled by what they see? Can their employers do anything about it?

“Domino’s has support services”

Domino's employee Chloe Patterson-Kane provided some insight on that front during a chat with news.com.au. She noted, “If it’s really weird, we can ask to not have to deliver there anymore. And Domino’s has support services in place if a driver needs [it].” Joey Grundl probably never thought he'd end up needing to use Domino's support services…
