Domino's pizza finger test

I drove 40 minutes to get a hot dog crust dominos a year or so after they brought it back the first time, only to discover they'd discontinued it again. Nearly had a full on meltdown

Wow that sucks. I can’t imagine the level of disappointment after driving all that way for something you crave only to find it’s not available.
Kinda sounds like “Harold and Kumar get the munchies” movie when they crave a White Castle lol
 
I have had a love / hate relationship with the dominoes round my way for years.

sometimes they are outstanding the best place to go for pizza, then all of a sudden a week later it is like you would be better off chewing the cardboard box the pizza came in the pizza inside is that bad.

Of course when it is bad i complain, get my voucher in the email for a free ''whatever'' next time i order but my last experience with them realy made my mind up to never use them again.

went with one of there two for tuesday or bogoff deals whatever it was 2 pizzas of my choice. i went for the Meteator and The sizzler {im a big boy with big appetite}

What eventually arrived was 2 of there standard cheese and tomato pizza {no toppings}

I was not a happy chap but then looking at the box again i noticed the address on them was not me but someone the other side of town.

Great some lucky so and so is chomping on my Meteator right now no problem i will call Dominoes and tell them the mistake.

I call them and tell them the guy on the phone goes ooohh ok and puts the phone down, so i call again and say well whats happening when do i get the pizza. no answer the phone just goes down again.

Im not being rude on the phone no ranting and raving im just hungry.

cut a long story short i email head office get the usual answer the usual ''money off next order' voucher and we will pass on your concerns to franchisee [basicly meaning if you order again there will be more saliva in your pizza than cheese}

so gave up and go to papa jonhs now and endure the custard looking garlic sauce

Food poisoning takes 48 hours to take effect, it wasn't the Dominos.

Food poisoning takes anything from an hour to a week to take effect, depending on various factors (most importantly what type of food poisoning).

Here's a list from the FDA, which states from 1 hour to 50 days, so an even bigger variation than I thought:

Here's a brief summary from the NHS, which states from a few hours to several weeks:

So, that could have come from some thing she ate 49 days ago.
Surely after reading those links, even you can't be sure it was the Dominos that caused it?

Even if it was Dominos, they would have had a few hundred complaints that evening as it would have affected more than just your meal, in which case OER (corporate) would have shut it down for investigation.

If you don't think it makes sense, why did you make it up and write it? Do you often argue with yourself in public? Also, why did you quote part of my post when there's no connection between my post and your rather strange post arguing with yourself?

Have absolutely no idea what that bit was supposed to mean....
Maybe next time though, you should read through the thread and know what your own quote was a reply to. Topic of discussion was from post 77. That was the reason for my quote.
Did you just feel like going all keyboard warrior on post 86, or was it your intention to jump in and change the subject?
 
All the local takeaway pizzas where I live aren't very good. Pretty poor actually, so we resorted to Domino's pizza who we found to be excellent. Pricey, but well worth it and very consistent too.

I cannot say the same about the local Pizza Hut though, they're not very good at all. Now, I'm sure not all Pizza Hut restaurants are as bad as ours, but then the same could be said about our Domino's being as good as yours.

Better luck elsewhere. :)

Haha actually yes it was exactly like that...

Perhaps you should take your advice, since I was replying to post number 86, not post number 77, and I was neither going all keyboard warrior nor changing the subject. You, however, were doing both.

I thought I was quite clear about the bit you're referring to, but I'll explain further:

I wrote something.

You wrote something completely different and then implied that what you'd written didn't make any sense (which it didn't). You also implied that I'd written it, since you quoted my post and presented your post as a reply to it. But I hadn't written it. You had written it. I had written something different.

Is that clear enough?



I'll also explain some more, since it seems to be necessary. I'll explain with a general case first and then go on to this specific case.

Person A puts forward hypothesis X.

Person B states that hypothesis X is incorrect because of hypothesis Y.

Person C states that hypothesis Y is false and provides evidence showing that it is false.

Note that this does not mean than person C is stating that hypothesis X must be true.

For this specific case, that last part is even more obvious than usual. Please explain why you thought that when I wrote that food poisoning can occur between 1 hour and 50 days after eating whatever caused the food poisoning I was saying that food poisoning "just had to be"(*) caused by what the person ate immediately before showing symptoms of food poisoning. I'm particularly interested in why you thought that those two completely different things mean the same thing while also thinking that doesn't make sense.



(*)You edited your post afterwards, but that was your wording that I replied to - "just had to be" - as shown by the quoted text in my post.
 
I found a Pizza place near me that was better quality, cheaper and faster delivery than Dominos - So I've probably not had a pizza from Dominos in over a year.

There was definitely a reduction in quality at our local Dominos in my opinion. In fact, they opened a new one even closer to where I live - But they got a 1 out of 5 on the Food Standards Agency, so that pretty much says it all :p
 
It is quite expensive so I only get it once every two months or thereabouts. Like any chain, quality can vary wildly from branch to branch. my local one is pretty good, always pretty tasty, delivered hot and quickly.

No way. Your average pizza place use such cheap ingredients compared to Dominos, Pizza Hut and Papa Johns that’s why they are always really greasy and a lot cheaper. I’ve tried many takeaway places and they are never anywhere near the quality or taste of Dominos etc
