Almost every night for
more than 10 years, Kirk Alexander, 48, ordered a late dinner from his local
restaurant Domino's Pizza. But for the past two weeks, he hasn't called for
even once.
"A few of my staff
mentioned that we hadn't seen his order in a while. Then I found that it had
been 12 days since he last ordered, which is not like him," Domino's
general manager Sarah Fuller said, feeling she could no longer ignore Kirk's
recent absence.
Sarah has known Kirk
since 2009 when she started working at the Domino's Pizza as a delivery driver
(送餐员) and
often made the short trip to Kirk's home about six minutes away. She knew Kirk
worked from home, and neighbors said he seldom left. She also knew that he
suffered some health problems in the past. Something, Sarah worried, was wrong.
Around 1 a. m. on May 8,
Sarah sent delivery driver Sean Hamblen to visit Kirk's home. Sean arrived at
Kirk's home and knocked on the front door several times. There was no answer.
He later noticed that the lights and the TV in the home were on. When he called
Kirk's phone, it went straight to voice mail.
Sean drove back to the
restaurant to tell Sarah and they decided to call 911. Soon, officers arrived
at Kirk's home. So did Sarah and Sean. They heard a man calling for help from
inside. Officers broke down the door and found Kirk on the floor in need of
medical attention at once after suffering from a heart attack (心脏病发作).
One day later, they might have been too late.
So is keeping an eye on
regular customers (老顾客) part of Domino's business plan? Not really.
"Kirk is part of our family here and we feel like we need to do
something." Sarah said.
