About
Domino's Employee Before And After refers to an exploitable "Before and After" image macro of a Domino's Pizza employee when he's on the clock versus off the clock, among other "X vs. X" before-and-after scenarios. Although both images are from separate sources, the first coming from a Reddit post in January 2020 and the second coming from a viral video in September 2020, the two images became associated with each other in March 2021 on Twitter but more notably in September 2021 on Facebook and Twitter. The images were remixed into other memes across Twitter and Instagram going into October 2021.
