    Customer Service

    <rant mode>

    Home late in the day, a leaflet drop in the post for Domino's, so "what the hell", I think, "I'll order a pizza".
    I call the number, and the most feckless, gurning, knuckle-dragging half-wit ever in the history of customer service answers the phone.
    What should be a - 2mins, tops - simple order turns into an ordeal where I have to repeat the chosen menu item, and my delivery details several times until some neurons fire at the other end of the line, and a lightbulb momentarily flickers.
    If say, you were running a business that relies heavily on telephone orders, why the hell would you choose someone with a tenuous grasp of the English language and no fecking clue about your products, as the sole pivot between your customers and your orders? WHY?
    Grr.

    Anyone with any intelligence or ambition wouldn't work there.

        And I want to know what their margins are just in case they make some kind of profit.

        Our nearest Domino's pizza place is not too bad, often Eastern European but they usually sound bright and are pleasant. Did the pizza turn up and did it taste OK?

            You need someone with a pizza model to tell you that. Interesting franchise business Dominos.

              It was acceptable.
              I won't be ordering from them again, next time I'll try the expensive Italian pizza place. Same faff ordering, but a better cost-benefit ratio.

                  Got a Domino's leaflet in the door yesterday, £9.99 for a pizza? Taking the piss. Profit margins, you need to ask?

                    Got a leaflet drop some time ago in my local village in Numptonshire, decided like yourself, "What the heck, I'll order a pizza", went through the order etc, etc... when asked for address I got "sorry, we don't deliver to that area". Ok, WTF are you doing leaflet dropping in my village then if you don't bleedin' well deliver??????????
