Dominoes Pizza outsources ordering

[VikingJuice]

WTF!!  I just called to order a pizza and was put through this ridiculous automated system.  I finally got an option to connect to a "customer service member" and got some chick who barely spoke English.  She clearly was not at the store around the block.  I don't think she was from India but definitely somewhere besides Webster Texas.

I don't like this at all, mostly because I liked being able to speak with the person AT the shop I was ordering from because if you had to fix anything, you could call them directly.

[VikingJuice]

Okay, I might be off a bit.  The system was automated but the chick on the phone may actually be local.  The guy that "delivered" my pizza was a mess.  He called to tell me he couldn't find the gate to call to get let in.  Then called again to tell me that he didn't know what to do at the gate.  So he asked me to come to the gate.  After I got to the gate, I looked around only to see that he wasn't there.  Then get back to my apartment and find him one building over, wandering around in the dark (there is a map of the entire complex at the gate).  I finally get his attention, get my pizza and realize this dude speaks next to no English-which then makes me realize he probably doesn't read English (or maps with English), and might have a family that barely speaks English who might actually be the owners of the Dominoes franchise in my area. 

Still, it was a pain to get my pizza.  They better improve their "service" quickly or this franchise will go under from people switching to another brand name.

You seem very tense and upset lately.  I want to give you a hug and tell you it's all going to be ok.  Relax.

There, there *soothing tones*

it was the weight watchers people trying to sabotage your pizza eating. they are crafty and determined to help you with your diet.

I think it's karma for supporting a company who sells cardboard with some sort of cheese-colored laxative on top, thereby sullying the name "pizza."

[Alice]

I ordered pizza while drunk the other night.  Dude threw in free cheese sticks and a free 2 liter of pop.    I think it was because I told him he was my hero and sounded really cute.

If you want to be mad about pizza, move here where all you can get is Dominoes, Papa Johns, or Hungry Howies.  That's it.

I know I'm in the minority, but I actually like Papa Johns.

[Gamplayerx]

I've yet to meet a pizza I don't like.

VJ, why don't you order online?  I hear Domino's tracks your pizza in real time.

I like it ok, but it's not what I want when I want pizza.  It's what I want when I want Papa Johns.  That probably doesn't make sense.

It's kind of like when you want a good, juicy cheeseburger, you don't really want McDonalds.

[Jessie]

Also, I rarely order Papa Johns because you can't get something delivered from them for under $20.  I can run to Hungry Howies or Little Caesars (I forgot to list them) and get a pizza for <$6.

Hey, at least he's trying.  More than I can say.

I'm a commitment-phobe when it comes to dieting.  I cheat every week or so.

We don't buy Dominoes because of their politics.

[Alice]

We don't buy Dominoes because of their politics.

Because they won't deliver to high crime areas?

Whatever one might think of Tom Monaghan's selection of social causes, and no matter how one views the question of direct versus indirect underwriting of them via pizza monies, it's all moot now. These days none of the revenues that flow into Domino's reach this controversial man, so no portion of what a customer pays for a medium pepperoni-and-cheese funds the causes he supports. Monaghan sold his Domino's Pizza empire to Bain Capital Inc. for $1 billion in 1998.

I didn't say anything about abortion.  I was talking toppings.

I did not know this. I guess I have been boycotting them for no good reason. Well except for my memories of how their pizza tasted back in the 80s.

It still kind of tastes like it did in the 80's, but like they had overstock back in the 80's and saved it up and are still using it.

[meredith]

Actually, I think it's just that it's summer and normally I get to express my frustration/outrage with folks at work and usually get most of it out of my system.  Since I'm at home, you guys seem to be my main audience, for lack of a better word, and you all have been hearing the random shit rattling around in my head. 

I'm sure you can tell by now that I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve and certain things really crawl under my skin.  If you've noticed, most of my ranting and raving, over all of my Junto experience, is usually centered around matters of social justice/injustice.  Of course it's all filtered through my perception, which can be off target at times, but none the less is the core of most of my "issues" with our American society and the manners in which it operates.

I don't feel necessarily upset about any one thing but rather feel intense passion about this and that.  Surely there are some areas where I do feel upset and express it in the form of my outrage about a variety of issues.

Add to that, time at home gives me more time in general to be on Junto posting so that might contribute to a shift in folks noticing my posts more because I put more out there.  Not that I was aiming for that or anything, just pointing out why I might seem more wound than normal.

But thank you guys for the concern.  That's always appreciated.

Oh, and while the pizza from Dominoes is usually flavored like cardboard ass, their cheesy bread is top notch!!

[meredith]

you should fap more. it levels you out, man
