There were no background checks at any of the pizza places I delivered for. Two of them didn't even have interviews.

For one of them my buddy's starter died while we were picking up pizza and the driver helped out by giving us a ride home and mentioned he was looking for someone to cover for him while he was on vacation and I offered, then just had to show up the first day of his vacation.

For the other one, I had asked if they were looking for a driver, they had said no but then later that week one of the drivers shows up at my door to ask if I still wanted the job (I was a regular so he knew where I lived). Once again, I just showed up the first day and started delivering.
