Pablo Morales Food/Shutterstock A Domino's driver in Fulton, Missouri allegedly hit a customer with his car last Wednesday evening after a verbal altercation over receiving no tip, according to People. Per jail records, 36-year-old pizza delivery driver Zachary Nicholus Walton was arrested and charged with armed criminal action, first-degree assault or attempt, and leaving the scene of an accident (physical injury). Video apparently shows Walton fleeing the scene at "high speed," but I feel like the word "accident" here is a misnomer. Video also apparently shows Walton initiating the verbal altercation which had the Domino's driver yelling, "What are you going to do, b-tch? Come get me," in addition to calling the customer "f-cking rude." It all allegedly escalated when Walton backed out of the driveway onto the road but then drove forward again into the unnamed victim, who police say suffered visible injuries on his hand as well as scrapes on his shin. The victim says Walton "intentionally" drove his car at him, "causing him to jump onto the hood to avoid further injury." Officers later caught up with Walton at a Domino's store, where he admitted to driving his car at a customer but only to "scare him." Let them eat Domino's Julia Dorian/Getty Images When you account for all the physical, financial, and psychological hardship getting hit by a car must cause, this may just go down as one of the most expensive Domino's orders in history. Slightly deep cut, but you know how the theatrical version of 2017's "Justice League" opens with a grim, slow-motion montage of everyday people being horrible to each other to show How Bad Things Have Gotten since the death of Superman? I feel like a Domino's delivery driver hitting a customer with their car after getting no tip would very much fit that whole vibe. In other words, I'm sure there are clearer recession indicators than working-class people committing vehicular assault on each other over beer money, but I can't seem to remember what they are at the moment. In completely unrelated news, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson recently attended the Met Gala wearing a diamond-encrusted watch worth $3.3 million, so I guess we have that going for us.
