Based on the fact that these people had paid their bills late in the past, don't you think you'd get the money first before you took the food from your truck? The guy was asking to be stiffed. And if he was seriously thinking of supporting Dean, he deserved to be stiffed.

I would have asked for the money up front before I even made the food

I think I would have demanded cash on the barrelhead before even making the sandwiches. $960 plus is a lot of cold cuts to leave lying around.

They agreed to "COD" when they placed the order.

He could have refused to hand over the order, but then he'd have to "eat" 200 sandwiches. You can't exactly take them back to the deli and unmake them. So if he didn't leave the order at that point, he'd have no recourse at all.

I think I remember reading that this guy had a staff of only four or so people. They must have busted their humps filling a 200-meal order. Now they realize the Dean camp thinks they should have felt honored to do all that work for nothing.

Sending a dollar sends a message:

"Run toward the light, Sandwich-boy! Dean People Suck!"
