Kirk Alexander is a man from Oregon, USA.Almost every night for more than ten years, he ordered dinner from a restaurant called Domino's Pizza in his city. Then one day, he stopped calling. "It had been several days," the restaurant' s general manager (总经理) Sarah Fuller said. "That was not like him."

Sarah got to know Kirk in 2009. Many Domino's delivery (快递) drivers often made the short trip to Kirk' s house, only about six minutes away. She knew he worked from home and that he hardly went outside. She also knew that he had health problems. Sarah was worried. Perhaps something was wrong.

Then one Sunday afternoon. Sarah sent delivery driver Tracey Hamblen to Kirk's home. Tracey arrived at the door and knocked （敲门). He could see the TV and lights were on. but after several minutes. Kirk still didn't answer the door.

Tracey called Kirk. The call went straight to voicemail. Tracey then called 911. and soon policemen were on their way. When they arrived at Kirk' s house. they heard a man calling for help from inside. They broke down .the door and found Kirk on the floor. He had a stroke (中风) and was in great danger. The policemen arrived just in time.

Is keeping an eye on regular customers ( 常客) part of Domino's business plan? "Not really," said Sarah. "Kirk is part of our family here. We felt like we needed to do something."
