If you had to eat the same meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I could probably eat the same bowl of cereal for breakfast every day, but you'd have to ask me again in 10 years to know for sure.

For Kirk Alexander, his go-to meal was Domino's pizza. For more than a decade he never got tired of the fast-food, so much so that he put in an order at his local takeaway where he lived in Salem, Oregon, every single day.

His consistency led Kirk to become a familiar name at the Dominos, where employees knew his order and had come to expect it day in, day out.

That is, until one day in 2016.

Employees became concerned that year when 11 whole days had passed without an order from Kirk.

He might have been on vacation, or possibly decided to go on a health kick, but workers weren't so sure and decided to ask around.

The general manager of that particular location, Sarah Fuller, explained at the time: "A few of my drivers had mentioned that we hadn't seen his order come across our screen in a while, so I went and looked up to see how long it had been since he last ordered and it was 11 days, which is not like him at all."

Staff asked a delivery driver to go to Kirk's home to check if things were okay, and while there they spotted lights on in the home and the sound of the TV audible through the door.

However, when the driver knocked, no one answered the door - prompting the dedicated employees to call the police and asked them to investigate.

When the Marion County Sheriff’s officers arrived at Kirk's house, they heard a man ‘calling for help from within the residence’ and broke the door down.

Inside, they found Kirk 'in need of immediate medical attention’. He was subsequently rushed off to hospital, where he was stabilized.

After helping to save his life, staff from the pizza place visited Kirk in the hospital with flowers and cards - although no pizza.

The customer was definitely aware that he owed the staff a great debt of gratitude, but the pizza employees brushed that off.

"[He is] just an important customer that's part of our family here at Dominos," Fuller said.

"He orders all the time so we know him. I think we were just doing our job checking in on someone we know who orders a lot.

"We felt like we needed to do something."

The Domino’s employees did end up getting some rewards for their efforts in an appearance on Good Morning America, where they were given some tickets for a group of them to go and see Captain America: Civil War - but let's be honest, they're the true superheroes here.
