I've had several pizza delivery jobs in my life, including one at Domino's. It's very easy to forget things like drinks and salads, because most of the time orders are tracked by pizza boxes. You know you have a delivery ready when all of the boxes for a particular order are full. Since most people don't order things like salads, drinks, containers of ranch, or stuff like that, it can be very easy to forget to bring them. I was pretty good about it, most of the time, but I'd forget sometimes when it was busy. I don't think I every forgot twice in a row, though!
Not having enough change is just silly, though. The only reasonable thing I can think of is that your driver took several pizzas on the current run, and the other houses cleared him out of change. If everyone pays with $20's, you can only go to so many houses before a $5 and ten $1's run out. Of course, forgetting to bring change back when you return might just mean that you suck as a delivery driver, though. :P
Yeah, and don't order from Domino's if you expect a good pizza. :unsure:
One comforting thought, though. I heard somewhere that you can gauge the state of the economy by judging the workers at your local fast food or chain pizza place. If you are served by an employee who seems generally literate, knowledgeable, friendly, and who knows how to make change, the economy is probably not doing so well. If it were, that person would not be working in fast food.
If you are served by somebody who is incompetent, that probably means that the labor pool is small enough that there weren't enough capable people available to fill the available jobs.
So, economically speaking, you may be better off if your service at Domino's sucks.

Why can't we all just get along
