Chicago — A 31-year-old Domino’s delivery driver was arrested late Friday after what police described as a “pepperoni standoff” over the 30-minute delivery guarantee.
According to neighbors, Jessica Ramirez arrived at an apartment complex 12 minutes late with a large pizza order. When the customer asked for a discount, Ramirez allegedly dropped the boxes on the sidewalk and shouted, “I race traffic, not time machines!”
Witnesses say she then opened one of the pizzas, plucked off slices of pepperoni, and began flinging them like Frisbees while chanting, “Thirty minutes or less is corporate propaganda!”
Officers say Ramirez refused to hand over the remaining pizzas until someone “signed a petition to abolish delivery deadlines.”
Reactions were mixed—some residents called her “a warrior against unrealistic expectations,” while others said she had taken “hot and ready” a little too literally.
