Dominos Order Tracker
 

This is the status of my order.... I am just going to sit and stare at my screen now....

Attachment 27721

https://www47.order.dominos.com/

I just went from prep to bake according to the flashing red....It's in the oven...according to the website. :D

:jig::drool:

Oooh, pizza sounds goo-ood, Clark. I must be feeling better.

Now I want pizza, too.

I am so easily amused....It is now in Quality Check Phase.

They may not have change for a 50... We shall see! :)

Awesome!

Jairo left the store with my order at 6:38! This is quite fun really....

Jairo arrived here right as scheduled! Without change. Awesome experience!

it's free if they don't have change?

I think it's time for a little rule 34 enforcement. We need Dominos Pizza porn ...and don't try to fob me off with any old pizza delivery guy/gal shit, it must be dominos....

No it was not free...I mean who wants to argue it when you are staring at pizza! No time for arguments...only time for eating.

I'll leave the rule 34 to you.....do it up.

That explains the missing piece.

The Out for delivery phase? Oh but it happened all so sudden! It was here in about 8 minutes.

that is crazy fast delivery time

8 mins is crazy slow delivery time here..... but then we're 5 minutes from world HQ

Dominos sucks, Wise up! They're really really bad. And this from a Brit ...the people who eat pizza with a knife and fork....

You do the porn or pay the penaly, oh Dominos enabler.....

Hi, Can I get a large pizza delivered?


sure.

How many slices is that?

eight.

Could you cut it in six, I can't eat that many.

.......

What they need now is another mark on the scale...At Your Front Door! So I know it's time to wade through the slobbering Hounds Of Hell and go out there!

Pizza that fast is almost uncomprehending, even picking up the food myself takes at lest 10 mins. My main grip with Dominos is that they are exspeive, it seems you don't get a lot of food, or even a lot of quality food for what they charge. In truth I prefer the local shops.

The 8 minutes was the time from "out the door" to Cic's front porch. It spends 5.5 minutes just in the oven, you couldn't do one in 8 minutes from start to finish unless you live within walking distance of the Domino's.

It takes about 10-20min for the pizza to get cooked then at lest 10min to get to the store and have the pizza in hand.

NSFW....here monster... Rule 34 wins (scroll down)

Ok...Update: They called back late, at about 9:45 pm. After I got my pizza I went to the web and thanked them for the satisfactory customer experience, then stated that I needed change as requested next time. A couple hours later I received a call from the manager about the comment I left on the website. (to my shock and dismay)

After about 15 minutes of arguing about the differences of 20 and 40 dollar amounts of change for delivery drivers, robbery statistics that were unclear, and an anecdote of a pizza mugging from the manager: In no uncertain terms I was invited not to order their pizza if I was to break their corporate policy by asking their drivers to carry more than 20 dollars in change for our transaction.

I blew a fuse. Apparently, I was insane to ask them to bring more than 20 dollars in change. Knowingly breaking their policy............ I must have been out of my mind to request change for a 50 so I could tip the driver properly. I was also unconcerned for the drivers welfare apparently as I was supporting a mugging when asking for that amount of change.

So I asked for the mugging statistics. None. So I asked for an anecdote. She had one. One of her drivers was robbed of her pizzas, and no money. Violently at that...

My Dominos pizza experience has been ruined! They refuse to admit there is little difference between carrying 20 dollars and 40 dollars. esp. since in their own experience, pizza was robbed and the money carried untouched.

I was trying to put their drivers at risk!! :(

Forget Dominos.

/End Rant

It's more than a little difference. Change for a twenty is a couple bucks, change for a fifty is thirty-couple bucks. Some shops won't come near you if you ask for that much change, fearing a trap. There are people out there that will kill a driver for 30 bucks and a pizza. Mostly they don't plan on killing, they just get nervous and lose it, but won't even try in the first place, for only a couple bucks.

F - Dominos. Their cardboard excuse for pizza isn't worth calling for anyway.
Around here there used to be about 8-10 stores. Now there are 2. Nuff said.

They have pumped a lot of money into their ad campaign saying "our pizzas don't suck any more. try one." Has anyone had one of their new pizzas? Are they still horrible?

I couldn't even tell you where one is.

We have one. Back a hundred years ago, I wanted another second job, and I thought I would try pizza delivery. It didn't work out, but I remember thinking the place was pretty dirty.

So, even if the pizza has improved, I would need proof of new management and clean conditions before I ordered from there again.

I think I've had Domino's pizza once in my life and didn't remember it being all that good. I'd be willing to try it again now that it is NEW and IMPROVED. But, I suspect I will remain a loyal Pizza Slut fan.

We happen to be blessed with a zillion non-chain pizza shops in this area. This is a good thing, although I've have some pizzas from Pat's, a small chain out of NJ, and they were excellent.

Domino's isn't our source of choice but we did order one of the new pizzas and I must admit that while their old product was sauced up cardboard the new one is pretty darn yummy. It won't go to the top of our list, but I wouldn't hesitate to order it again either.

thanks lookout. We may give them a try sometime.

We have so many options around here, the question is usually what kind of pizza you are in the mood for. Each palce has their own take on how a pizza should be.

Sorry, but I have weigh in on the side of Dominos re the amount of change their drivers carry.

It's not to piss customers off.
It's not a stupid rule to make things difficult for people.
It's well advertised and it's there for a reason.

I've lived with a couple of "resting" artistes who worked for Dominos.
They certainly weren't jobsworths, but they left the store with the offical float.
They could break a £20 almost always (Dominos in the UK is £11.99 minimum).
But if the order was £25 and two £20s were offered they were not obliged to accept it.

For minimum wage (and tips) they came in for a lot of abuse.
From people who thought it was their right.

To me - and I know English customer expectations are not the same as in the US - if there is a limit set on the amount of change given, then you either accept that or change your pizza delivery company.

We only order deep dish, and I love their pizza actually. When we order food from anywhere we usually pay online or with a debit card, so I never have the prob with change.

When I was a kid- we used to call Dominos "Cardboard and ketchup." They've definitely made a step up from that. If given the choice, I will almost always order a deep dish dominos than anywhere else. However, I've never tried their regular pizza since I was a kid. And back then- it sucked LOL!

The same is true here. We've got a couple of indie places that make my mouth water if I just drive past them. If we are going with pizza from a chain though we usually get Rosattis's (the one on 59th rules, the one on 99th sucks) for chicago style thin or if we want a real pie then Oregano's. Mmmm, Oregano's.

That's $17.73. :eek:

SG, here's why Americans are fat!

One Dominos large pepperoni in Britain is £13.99 ($20.67).

One Dominos large pepperoni in the US is $12.34 (£8.35). But the current deal they have is two mediums with any two toppings for $10.98 (£7.43).

If you could get two pizzas with any two toppings for £7.43, why wouldn't you?! All the time!! And so we do.

I could really go for a pizza right now.

me too - just not Dominos.

The Pizza Hut deal is $10 for any pizza. I'd do that before the 2 from Dominoes. (Not pan/deep dish though, I've seen how they're made)

SG they're enot even on minimum wage here, I think.....

Ordering Pizza is another one of those things that we thought was exagerated in the movies (like Halloween and stean from the grids in the city streets....) -American families seemed to do it all the time, even the poorest families, not even as a weekend thing. Kids ordering pizza on a schoolnight without even checking if it was OK with their parents.... Now I understand why -it's SOOOOO cheap here. As is all fast food. Friday night 5pm I'm fighting with pizza delivery vans to get into my neighborhood. It's just not like that in the UK.

Oh no, delivery drivers here make much better than minimum wage, even before tips. The ones inside making the pizzas, though, they might be minimum wage, depending on age.

Strange. In the scenario I was given, they just took the pizza and not the money. I really don't like customer transactions where customers are regarded with suspicion. Like the 5 dollar fraud protection I have to pay to the bank for cashing a check at their location. I have to pay them money, in case I am a rip-off artist. Bullshit! :D If you haven't guessed already, I don't use their services anymore either.

Bruce give me 5 dollars just in case you suck more than I think you do. ;) And don't even think of asking for change, thereby breaking my change policy.

Orly? I wonder if that's a state thing or if I misunderstood how it works.... I believe, in Michigan, servers and delivery people are pretty much the only people exempt from the minimum wage law because they are expected to be tipped. But I could be wrong. I know that 15-17 year-olds working seasonal jobs only become subject to minimum wage rules after 100 days (the "training" period)

I found this:

http://www.michigan.gov/documents/ci...6_173903_7.pdf

Yeah, but the big distinction is between servers/cooks and delivery people. In Texas at least, you're not even legally allowed to deliver until the age of 18 (you can drive at 16, but not as part of your job.) And even then, you'd have to work hard to find an insurance company that would give an 18-year-old commercial coverage. Part of the extra pay is because pizza delivery drivers are expected to use their own car, so you're having to subsidize all the extra mileage and repairs. But absolutely--waiters, prep cooks, anyone not driving... they're all making minimum wage or not much better.

Required Minimum Hourly Wage Rate :
Provided reported tips per hour is:
July 1, 2008
$2.65

Holy Moly.

I have no idea of the age req here, but I've seen ads for mileage paid, so I'm thinking maybe minimum tipped wage (2.65) plus mileage plus tips...?

If you want to order pizza over here, it's going to cost you more than it would to go to a cafe for a meal with a drink.

With the two teenage boys, plus Dazza and myself and one slice for Max, we usually order 3 pizza's and a couple of garlic breads and maybe a bottle of softdrink. By the time delivery is added, it usualy costs over $60 which I think is a lot of money for junk food.

What they do here is, call an order to be delivered to a stranger's house, sometimes a vacant house, and jump the driver when he shows up. Take the pizza, money, his wallet and sometimes his car.

Sure, give me your address and I'll drop it off on my way to my Arizona economy boosting vacation.:p:

Domino's Pizza is not bad since the reformulation, way better than before certainly, but still not as good as the local pizzaria that is so good they don't have to deliver. We get Domino's sometimes at the nuthouse because 1. Their drivers can find our building and three one-topping medium pizzas for $15 is not something to turn your nose up at. One night the doctor wanted pizza, bought for all of us, and I think we had like 6 pies and it was $38 (we did a couple with more than one topping.) Oh, and the Chocolate Lava Crunch Cakes are way tasty. Not as good as the Brownie Bites they've discontinued, but darn fine little chocolate cakes.

Besides, Papa John's screwed up their Cinnaspin when they turned it into Cinnapie.

Has anyone tried the Domino's Pasta Bread Bowl thingies?

Pizza Hut puts way to much grease into their crust. And their pasta dinners are too mushy. Hit the Hut last night for National Hospital Week. Ate it because it was free.

Ali, that's insane. I would make my own pizza before paying that much.

Our Dominos is pretty good. I got the lava cake, but was a little disappointed. Didn't taste as good as it sounded. the pizza is vastly improved, though.

When I was a waitress, I made 2.13 an hour plus tips. That was back when minimum wage was like 5.50 an hour. Now, it's 7 something an hour and I think waiters get less than 3 still. I think delivery drivers make something around 5 plus tips.

Sometimes I make minimum wage and sometimes I make more per hour than I did as a systems analyst. Working for myself is probably the most rewarding work I have ever done.

Truckers are also exempt from minimum wage laws. And overtime pay laws too.

Some states allow any worker who gets a lot of tips to be exempted from those laws, like taxi drivers, hairdressers etc.
