About six months ago I was staying at a hotel in San Diego after being delayed for a flight and for some reason EVERYTHING near me was closed at 11PM. EVERYTHING. McDonalds, Wendy’s, Domino’s. Every single local eatery, even the bars were closing despite the fact it was a Saturday night. Had to walk nearly a mile to an all-night bar that served burgers to actually get something to eat.

So yeah this could have saved me.

I came to make a similar joke. But yours was far more succinct and scathing.

Because the vehicle might be closer to your house and get there quicker? Also, you don’t have to tip a driver.

I can’t imagine why you would- but I bet it saves Domino’s some money.
