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.

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.


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.
