Through my time working at Domino's, you really get to see people's true colors. And after coming back over winter break from college to make some money I have a few things to complain about.
1. "Can I have a large medium pizza?"
No, sorry sir or madame. Those don't exist.
2. "What time do you guys close?"
Maybe you should order now instead of later.
3. "Wow. Your pizzas are expensive. Can you give me a deal?"
Not if your order doesn't couple with a deal.
4. "Can I have boneless BBQ wings?"
They're not on the menu, so no.
5. "Um... I want... Ummmmmm..."
It's 2016. Look up a menu and figure out what you want before you call. I have better things to do than to listen to you waste my time.
6. "Is it too late to get a delivery?"
It's 1:59 A.M. We close at 2:00.
7. "Can I get a large with anchovies, garlic, jalapenos, and pineapples?"
There are so many things wrong with this. Yes, you can order all of our most disgusting toppings, all together... and pineapples don't go on pizza. Just sayin'.
8. "The costumer's always right."
9. "It's been forty minutes! Where's my food?!"
First, you were quoted an hour for our delivery time. Second, I'm sorry but you're not the only one ordering.
10. "I've been on hold for 10 minutes!"
Oh, really? Because the timer on the system for this phone line says two minutes and fifteen seconds.
11. "You messed up on my past order, I want it remade!"
You don't even have a past order history under any of the five phone numbers you just gave me. I'm not giving you free food.
12. "What's your name and number so I can report you?!"
I don't have to give you that information, but I would be so pleased to give you the number to this store and ask you to call and speak to the general manager with your concerns.
13. "I want the general manager's personal number!"
You really think I can give that to you?
14. "Your online ordering quoted me thirty minutes and it's been forty-five."
I need to plead and beg on my knees to Domino's corporate about this. SYNC YOUR ONLINE DELIVERY QUOTE WITH THE STORES QUOTED DELIVERY. They are not always the same. We get huge amounts of deliveries. We have to make carryout orders. And sometimes (a lot of the time) drivers don't show up to their shifts. We are only human, we will get your lava cakes to you. Be patient.
Bonus: "I want to speak to a manager!" *says with the I-want-to-speak-to-the-manager haircut*
