Does it really matter where you put your dishwasher pod? I have always put the pod in the box and closed it but does it do any difference than just dumping it on the dishwasher floor?

It’s not where that’s important, it’s **when**! There’s a pre-rinse that gets all the easy food bits off, then that water is discarded, and then the actual wash cycle begins.
If you threw the pod into the dishwasher itself instead of using the little box, then all the soap would be washed down the drain with the pre-rinse and there would be no soap for the actual wash. The purpose of the box is to release the soap after the initial water-only rinsing phase is done.
