And what you did was? Are you a perfect saint? Cause I aint seen anyone above trying to say or be one.
Can you quote any examples of this 'spin' you say you see? I'm curious where you see it.

Did you actually throw them away?

You threw a fit and probably ruined the pizza guys life over food that you eventually ate anyways?

I'm still not seeing anything even remotely pertaining to pretensions of saintliness by others. Could it be that you're projecting because you feel that you've done nothing wrong yourself?
I'm curious, how did the delivery driver react? Did he shrink back, or shout back, or just say nothing at all to you?

Rude shitty customers are a real pain in the ass.
Last Dominos I worked at (years ago) was in the middle of downtown of a major city. Evening rush, especially on a weekend could see delivery times at 1-2 hours, sometimes even *longer* than that. This is due to the fact that you have hundreds of orders coming in within the same 1-2 hour timeframe. It's simply not possible to stuff that many orders into the oven at once and deliver them all on time.
One night on a weekend I took an order to some shit apartment building a mile or so away from the store and this douche opens the door for me after I call him...
He goes and says something like, "Yeah, 2 hours for a pizza? Tell your manager he needs to hire more drivers." Then he snidely puts a tip worth 1 cent on the receipt and hands it to me with an arrogant smile on his face.
At that moment I feel like slapping him. Instead I suck it up and say "Have a good night" in an insincere voice and walk back to my car. I look at the receipt, ball it up and throw it out the window while silently cursing "Fuck you asshole" under my breath.
Of course that asshole doesn't realize that hiring more drivers wouldn't actually fix the problem because there are only so many orders that can be cooked in the oven at once. It's not physically possible to improve delivery times on a weekend without relocating to a bigger store with more than one oven in it. On top of that, these places are chronically understaffed because nobody wants to work in such a shitty environment, thanks in part to assholes like him.
I only lasted at that place for 4-5 months or so before I quit. God Damn it was a hell hole. Nobody that worked there was happy.. staff terribly overworked and miserable. The manager was a man in his late 30's and he was always angry, yelling all the time, if you were 2 minutes late to your shift you'd get screamed at. It was horrible and honestly I felt sorry for him because it was quite obvious that he hated his life and he exuded nothing but constant misery and depression. The man was on "salary" but in reality working 70 or so hours per week, so he didn't get overtime and was really only paid for 40 hours.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with OP but I felt like contributing since his post reminded me of that experience.
Entitlement is a serious problem in society and nobody has it worse than fast food workers, especially in extremely high-volume locations.
People want AAA service from underpaid, overworked fast food workers and managers that are being blatantly exploited for often unpaid labor that are spit on daily by rude, selfish, entitled people? It's just not realistic.
Anyway, jokeshopbeard is right. You don't curse people out over a plastic bag. Calling the store for a refund was enough. That driver will probably quit that shit job in a few months and then he will be replaced by another teenage kid who isn't trained and then your service is just gonna go down even more. We all contribute to creating our collective reality.

Some people are simply very dumb. Can't put two and two together.
I worked in this pizza place before, open kitchen so the customers can see people toss and stretch the dough. Literally the whole kitchen is viewable to every table. Even though customers can see that folks are standing shoulder to shoulder in this kitchen making pizza, somehow and someway, people would still complain that they have been waiting too long for their pizza. When they are sitting next to tables that were sat and placed an order before them, who haven't received their pizza yet, because it wasn't fucking ready yet. And then these people will tip like shit to a server who had zero control over the time at which their pizza came out. Some people are that dumb, unfortunately, and they walk around thinking they're normal or even better than normal. Trash people.

After the revolution comes, your chicken will be delivered by throwing it from a moving car, into your yard. No container whatsoever. Just wings. You'll pick the grass off, and you'll fucking like it damn it.

I can’t imagine getting paid so shitty to put up with duck heads like that. I’ve never worked in customer service because I knew from the get go I couldn’t deal with it and would get fired or quit I found a decent job running medical blood work and different medicines around that let’s you work on your own, do decent work and get paid ok. If any of you are looking for good work now is the time! Everyone needs employees because of the pandemic and you guys can land decent work with little experience!

Well said and awesome advice. I also have done my fair share of putting up with the ducks like you said. Sometimes it pays to be a good HR rep=- some people become great speakers of the people the same way every day- and bring blessings with each wind and rain.
May you all find peace and fortune in

People in the USA have a bag fetish. carry your fuckin shit! People be double baggin a 20oz coke and a bag of chips cuz it's "easier" WTF IS wrong with you? I woulda inspected the wings and then complained about the sauce issue, much more serious than a bag that's just contributing to the destruction of the environment and an unsustainable business practice
I have to turn down about ten bags a day for one to two item purchases, idk why people expect a bag to carry one or two or (even IMO, three to five things) ? I just don't fuckin get it unless it's messy food to go or something and it's for trash

30 min later I hear a knock on the door so I of course open and see 3 fucking wing containers sitting on my porch. No bag, no nothing.
I run out there and catch the driver and start talking shit..
This is where you and I diverge.
Me, I see the closed hygienic food containers, I take them in, I eat them.
Being a delivery guy sucks, especially now with Covid. Doing deliveries is deadlier than being a cop. They don't need flak over an absence of additional packaging material.

Cracked Egg said:
You didn't have a fucking bag!?
Oh no.. I have 5 deliveries.
Which just highlights how much it sucks. 5 deliveries in one.

This could have been done directly without harrassing the delivery guy. Everybodies wings would have been warmer had you done that.

(..)
And just to add.. I ended up eating a few of the wings. It was sketchy, but my hunger got the best of me.
So..
1) you give the delivery guy (some kid or limited employability adult) shit to his face.
2) you give him trouble at his work and demand a refund because its intolerable.
3) fuck it, you ate the wings anyway and got a free meal.

Everybody was worse off including the other customers getting colder wings and you got a free meal.
Put some powdered milk, oatmeal, a jar of honey and a baggie of trail mix in your cupboard.
Next time you're hungry, make oatmeal with honey and gobble some trail mix for dessert.
Problem solved.
