As mentioned, probably has no idea how to order online, and sounds like it's possible dementia may be at work. This is a symptom, and I'm not making excuses for this behavior, but some people with dementia or Alzheimers will react in this way. Wonder if he challenged the kid to a pushup contest... seems to be a go too move for some senile old dudes. That is a good one. I get it.

The family owned Pizza Perfect in my neighborhood has also adjusted to only carry out or delivery. No problems I've heard about so far. The dining area being closed and the door open means walk in, order and then go wait in my vehicle. At least that is how I interpret the sign. I've been a regular (for the buffet) for years and not aware of any behavior like that. Seems as if it was handled as well as could be under the current circumstances. I picked up this medium pepperoni, mushroom, pork sausage for $17.04 yesterday

Maybe the old guy doesn't have a computer, nor a cell phone. My 84 year old mother has no computer and is still connected to a land line. She has one of those pre load minutes phone, but she doesn't use it very often and probably doesn't carry it with her much. If she can't order something at the food establishment, she would have to go some place else.
Around here, you don't get in the door any place that is still open for food. You call in, or go online to order, and they get your vehicle ID and bring it out to you in their parking lot, or you order over the squawk box and drive up to the window. A few of the fast food places with drive through also now have some people out side pulling cars of people that know what they want and taking the orders, bring out the drinks and collect the payment, and will bring the food out to you while you wait during peak busy lunch times. All the local food places are closing by 8 pm. Gene

the old guy would poop his britches for sure around here then. almost all parts stores and hardware stores, as well as my pharmacy MANDATE a call in order, then you wait OUTSIDE the store until a staff member brings your order to you. the beer store i patronize uses the drive through method as they always have had since their ownership, but are only coming as close to the car as they can to collect the money and toss the case inside.

This old fart only has a land line, and a computer, and can order pizza and Rock Auto any time I want. Attitude is everything. You don't wanna pizz off those that feed you, and certainly not those that get you your auto parts. It's counterproductive if you do.

When I joined the Army my Marine Corp cousin told me there are 3 Sergeants you never want to piss off. 1. The Mess Sergeant because he feeds you. 2. The Supply Sergeant because he gets you stuff you need. 3. The 1st sergeant because he controls what and who is doing everything. If you pissoff the 1st Sergeant, he sends you to see the Mess Sergeant real early in the morning (KP duty). I washed a lot of pots and pans, peeled a lot of potatoes.

As far as Alzheimers, they are finding it in people younger and younger now. It's very scary. Scientist are trying to figure out what in our diet or environment that may be the cause. Sorry, I'm going off on a tangent I know, but someone who acted as this man did sounds like they may have something wrong with them and not just be an a-hole. Read this paragraph from recent article: "The number of younger Americans aged 30 to 64 with Alzheimer’s disease has tripled, a new analysis out of Blue Cross Blue Shield finds. Early onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis rates increased by 200 percent between 2013 and 2017". https://www.beingpatient.com/early-onset-alzheimers-diagnoses-tripled/
Facts are stubborn things.

Gloves do very little in terms of transmission. Really they just allow the wearer easier cleanup, and of course they are a good sign that the business is taking the matter seriously.
I suppose gloves reduce the users frequency of touching their own face as you are kind of “aware” of it when wearing gloves. but the virus can ride on the gloves and be deposited on your item just as easily as skin. Unless they are changed between every potential cross contamination source, they are pretty much just a feel good operation. Kevin

He's just a old guy thats vulnerable and most likely scared Well, from the OP's description of the incident it sounds like the only thing he was scared about was that he might get inconvenienced. Or that he might have to wait for his pizza. If he was scared he would have stayed home and called in his order.
