What happened
A Domino's delivery driver noticed that her regular customers, who typically ordered every other day, have been ordering only about once a month. This observation was made through TikTok, where the driver noted changing buying patterns. The driver linked these changes to inflation, tariffs, and the war in Iran, noting that consumers are cutting back on impulsive purchases.
