Dominos Order Tracker - Page 3

lookout123 · 05-12-2010, 02:58 PM

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.

That's $17.73.

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.

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.

lookout123 · 05-12-2010, 03:13 PM

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.

classicman · 05-12-2010, 04:47 PM

me too - just not Dominos.

jinx · 05-12-2010, 07:58 PM

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)

Clodfobble · 05-12-2010, 10:30 PM

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.

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)

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.

monster · 05-12-2010, 11:57 PM

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...?
