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?

First off, that container is not designed for pods but rather for powdered/gel dishwasher detergent. Pod style detergent packs are not compatible with the pre-rinse cycle; if you place them in the dispenser then they will not dissolve during the pre rinse cycle, and if you do not place them in the dispenser then they dissolve during the pre rinse cycle and not during the wash cycle. From this you can tell that it very much does matter where you put the detergent in the dishwasher, as where the detergent goes will determine which wash cycle it is used during.
I highly recommend against using pods, they’re both more expensive and less effective than powdered/gel detergents because of their incompatibility with the pre rinse cycle
