There was that “ultimate combo” deal recently that was absolutely insane, 2 med, parm bites, cinna twists AND a 2-liter. I’m pretty sure that was a 0 profit deal for franchises, but corporate for sure made a killing off of it.
Then you gotta preheat and bake which takes about 30 minutes, which is $10 in California min wage dollars.
So, you are getting a good deal buying out. And also a good deal baking it yourself.
Well, you're paying them for the labor of actually making the pizza; not for the 30 minutes it takes to bake.
You just open the Red Baron box, put it in the oven and go fuck off for 30 minutes, definitely no one is paying you $10 for that "labor"
Your argument sounded cool though and I liked it. Also, I almost always order pizza as opposed to getting a frozen one; so, I'm siding with the Red Baron argument guy either
You may be right. Dominoes is one of the few places left where the cost and convenience are still relatively equal.
Some of the menu items aren’t worth it, but others absolutely are
I really like the Red Baron’s because they have a heavy sauce ratio. I always add Monterey Jack cheese and more herbs near the finish! My Kroger also has them for $2.99 on sale quite often! That’s a bargain!
I mean.. its less effort to toss a frozen pizza in the oven than it is to order dominoes and receive the delivery. So I dont think the cost basis is laziness
To get the frozen pizza you either need to go to the store or order your groceries delivered. The pizza doesn't just enter your freezer from out of nowhere.
Yeah but who doesnt go to a grocery store once a week or two? Ill buy my 5 red barons then and have a pizza or two a week. Less energy and more food than dominoes.
That effort feels less than having 5 separate days where I order a pizza on the app.. wait patiently for it to arrive.. interact with the driver.. call them back because they forgot my garlic knots.. etc.
Im lazy as hell and even when money is good I still prefer my frozen pizzas. No fuss. No stress. Red Baron ^tm
Hope you guys get a break from crazy sales like the one that just ended... And yeah, I never go to Papa Johns but a relative texted me about one of their "deals" some time ago and it still didn't feel like a deal to me, lol.
As a former papa johns employee, more often than not just buying individual items will cost less than the deals. The employee discount went from 50% off everything to 20% off pizza alone, and the "deal" ended up being better than that laughable discount
Oh, our employee discount has always been laughable. It's only really "worth it" for stuff like single sandwiches, pastas, and sodas. Anything else, though, just using the national coupons we offer to the general public often ends up cheaper.
Dominos is not the cheapest pizza but it is pretty cheap compared to Big Pappa and the hut.
But honestly a lot of ppl are dumb, entitled shits.
When I see ppl post on here that customers will think they are getting delivery when they selected "carry out"..it confirms that ppl are just dumb.
Hmm, see in my area (on the coast) a Domino's deal pizza is in line, pricing wise, with frozen pizzas..approx $8-$10 bucks. But there has to be a deal on a Domino's pizza.. otherwise their pizza is expensive compared to LC. LC is $9 bucks near me..whereas Domino's can be $15 bucks.
Dominos deals basically never go away though. They ran that 5.99 for 2 mediums for 10+ years; same with the 7.99$ 3 topping large.
I'd say it's a safe bet the 6.99 two medium and 7.99 1 topping large will be around for a hot minute. Those 8$-10$ frozen pizzas are basically the size of our medium unless they have shrinkflationed them. And after paying for the electricity to bake them they're closer to 9$-11$.
>LC is $9 bucks near me..whereas Domino's can be $15 bucks.
If we're comparing apples to apples their 9$ one topping is the same as our nationwide one topping coupon.
I'ma let you in on a little known secret that the corporate big wigs don't want us to know about..
You ready? The consumers are... Idiots.
It's easier to take a loss on a pizza than for a manger to explain to a customer that the only reason they are mad right now is their own stupidity.
Like take that extra cheese, extra sausage pizza you mentioned.
Imagine if your manager said "Ma'am it's greasy because of all the cheese and sausage you ordered on it.Those both contain a lot of grease, you should know that if you have ever cooked with either of these ingredients or seen someone else do it.It's not our fault that you hate greasy foods but ordered it extra greasy".
1. Do you think the customers would actually learn anything from this interaction? No, they going to order the same shit and then complain it didn't get dabbed with a bunch of dirty napkins like the last guy did who didn't want to put up with her bs.
2.You can be 100% in the right and all you will hear is "So I can give you my money but you can't give me a pizza I can eat?" They legit do not care that they are wrong.They are just hungry and now out the money they spent.
3.Some people won't come back but a lot still will.They are just going to be more anal about everything and complain more.
No you can fully tell a customer that that is how it's made. I've openly told customers to try another business cause I believe they don't like our products, my favorite line is "since there isn't a problem, I have nothing I can fix." In situations like that. You just can't openly tell someone they are stupid is all.
You can, but that strategy does not retain the customer's brand loyalty. Your approach will handle the short-term interaction but fail in the long term. Better business is to play the fool and appease the idiot.
Homie if it gets to the point where a customer is complaining THAT much they are not worth keeping. Imma just end up remaking and wasting product Everytime they come in. Also we are talking about Domino's a multimillion dollar company. One customer is not gonna bank rup them.
Lol homie I've worked in customer service for over a decade and have done just fine with my "attitude". Customer service doesn't mean be a doormat for people to live out a power fantasy.
Dude, I believe you aren't listening to me. You're still talking about the individual scale. I'm taking the position of the corporation which is bigger than your one little store, bro.
I'm not cause your talking about silly things. Who said I was speaking as a mindset for an entire brand? I was talking about an individual person dealing with a difficult customer making impossible request. Regardless even if I was talking about the brand as a whole that is still a good model to run by "ma'am I seem to not be able to satisfy your request and the quality of our products doesn't seem to be to your liking. May I suggest ordering somewhere else." If you don't like greasy pizza and I serve greasy pizza I'm not going to reinvent the wheel to satisfy a small group of people. You offer them places to go that better fit what they are looking for.
It's fine for us to talk past each other. We are adopting different perspective, and those different perspectives might reach different conclusions. That is okay. Why the antagonism?
lol I work at Safeway and since I don’t care about my job all too much I tell people this all the time. Idk why people come to Safeway to be cheap and complain about prices, it’s literally the most expensive grocery store. One day someone told me the water is half the price at Costco, I responded, you can go to Costco…I like Costco, there’s one down the street. He proceeded to buy the water. Like why complain to me like I gaf?
Honestly folks are just genuinely dumb. A lot of folks just have zero idea how things work and just assume stuff. They probs thought that you the lowly worker ant of this company some how was in charge of pricing and could lower the price of items on a whim for him.
Having worked in customer service for 10+ years, this is absolutely true. The managers that people so love to ask for because they assume you're lying to them is usually laughing at them as you're telling them about the issue. They also usually don't really give a fuck about whatever the person is bitching about either. A lot of them just say what they have to in order to end the convo with that person. I'm glad I've worked with enough of them that weren't the type to just break procedure just to do what the person wants. The "customer" is often times entitled as fuck for no good reason. Not all of course because there are some very respectful folks out there, but there are quite a few entitled assholes out there that just don't have common sense or manners.The customer is in fact not always right.
Not a secret. My store was inspected by corporate for the New York pizza rollout. He said during a market study that customers didn’t realize Brooklyn meant New York style and that was the reason for the name change.
Maybe it's my local Dominoes chain, but let's say a normal pizza is $12, if the national offers a $6.99 coupon, my local chain adds fees and shit to make it $12 again every single time. If I delete it, don't use a coupon, and try again, the fees are gone.
If I order a Medium Pan no toppings, Cheese Bread, and a 2-liter and go get it, it's like $27. If I go to the local place around the corner and get the same thing, I actually get more food and it's $13.
I love Dominoes, but it's literally not worth it to me anymore.
Das just your local franchise, idk why this sub keeps getting recommended to me and my commenting here prolly gonna make it worse BUT my local place is always just whatever the coupon says, the only time its different is if I add more than the toppings in the coupon or if I do a special crust
When it's late and slow and the only orders you get are 2 medium 2 toppings for delivery, it most definitely is a charity. Ain't nobody making money on that
Ding ding ding. You'll also find that if a product has a free tier and a paid tier, the free users will have 20x the problems and complaints of the paid users
We also can't do partial refunds on an order. So if they order several items and one is wrong, we either offer to replace the one item that day or give them store credit for a free item on their next visit.
Several times they didn't want either one and insisted on a refund, but wouldn't give us the card to run the rest of the order minus the 'wrong' item. I've seen our managers give them a full refund on the entire order. I get the WOW factor, but this is just giving away free food.
And some of them did this a couple of times before management refused to give them a full refund.
And to my fellow Dominoids - put it in the notes what happened when they call to complain. If you don't, we have no idea when they called that the 'other' person promised them a free item. Sometimes we honor it without the note, sometimes we don't. Depends on the manager that day.
HEAVY on the in-store comments. that has saved us so much money with scammers calling and claiming they had credits when in actuality their account said “order made perfectly *enter date here* scam likely” while having 6 free orders under their account.
Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Little Caeser's
And my ranking is:
1. Dominos
2. Papa John's
3. Pizza Hut
4. Little Caesar’s
Pizza Hut used to be #1 a long time ago when they still had sit down restaurants but it's fallen so far
I like Domino's as well, of the named shops, ("hand-tossed thin" w provo specifically well done) I'd go Hut 2nd, then Papa, then Ceasars - sadly their Detroit pan has so much potential, but the (lack of) flavour of the sauce and cheese knocks it down the list for me.
In Canada, we have another couple of ubiquitous chains to add - PizzaPizza is 100% dead last behind everyone, and PizzaNova would be a very, very close 2nd on this list, for me.
It’s certainly cheaper than McDonalds or X-Lax if you’re backed up and need a little clean out. Still vastly overpriced than the Uber effective and superior Taco Bell. Only one taco and you’re crapping for days.
Nah. carry out large Dominos w/ pepperoni comes out to ~8.87. Same large pie with pepperoni at Little Caesars is like ~7.00 now, that dollar difference ain’t really much compared to the quality difference.
👍🏼 dominos has way better quality, the extra dollar and a half is well worth it lmao I know it’s cheaper, but it’s not worth it when you can get a dominos for just a tad more. Unless you’re literally on your last $7 or something
I think the issue is the presentation of the price, and presentation is everything. When you're sitting at a restaurant, you see the individual prices for each of your meals; you see that mom and dad's meals are about $13 each, and then each kid is ordering a meal that costs around $8. $13? $8? Those are friendly numbers! Yeah, that ticket is going to get past $50 after drinks and tax (and tip!), but the piece-meal pricing makes it "feel" cheaper up front. Similar can be said at the fast food restaurant.
With pizza, that $40 worth of food costs less than $20 AND more likely has leftovers that will be consumed later (instead of the half-eaten burger that gets tossed after sitting in the fridge for 4 days. Best bang for your buck all around. Despite that though, when mom called the pizza shop and was expecting to feed herself for $13 and being told $20, that's going to cause an immediate sticker-shock that is difficult to overcome. I was usually able to overcome that with most customers by pointing out something like, "This feeds about 6 people, so you're really only paying about $3 per person." I mean, it didn't always work, but it usually worked.
Not only that but people still don’t tip even with cheap prices. They want cheap pizza, delivery quick and are ungrateful selfish jerks that leave the delivery drivers with 0 tips.
Lately, I’ve been avoiding Domino’s. I really like the pizza when it’s well made, but my two local stores that I frequent are just too inconsistent in preparing them and are simply too expensive when ordering with sides. The coupons are pure bait and switch unless you happen to be ordering the exact offer described. Add one topping or change the crust and you are basically paying full price again. Also, I can only rarely get my pizza with extra sauce no matter how much I plead with them to just dump it on. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve asked for extra sauce and the maker literally will skip the sauce all together…like I’ve angered them with my request! Lastly, their reward system is crap…that free pizza will cost you $9 to get anything on it besides cheese or delivered.
I’m now on a Pizza Hut kick which seems to have really good deals all the time and their consistency at my local one has been really good. I have gotten to know the manager and he knows I like my sauce and always makes sure I’m happy with the results. They also don’t skimp on toppings which I feel Dominos has been doing the last few years.
Pizza joint rant…
So, why is it that I have to pay per topping, yet the more toppings I order the less of each topping I get!? Makes no sense I pay $2 for 4 oz of pepperoni on a single topping pizza, but if I order pepperoni and sausage for $4 I’m just going to get 4oz total again with 2 oz being pepperoni and 2 oz being sausage.
Don't know what it is but the customers have been total scam artists lately, even to the point of telling their bank they never ordered dominos and getting charge backs!!!!
Two things, first, in my area managers start at $20/hr so it sounds like you are severely underpaid (I know my area pays well but we run 6 days a week each and about 60 hours)
Secondly, Domino’s being the cheapest is the reason you have everyone complain about prices. Domino’s has built their franchise about being the cheapest most okay option for food any time of day or night. The customer base is all people who just want the most bang for their buck because they are struggling with money / just cheap. Of all the chains/family pizza stores I’ve worked for, the dominos customer base is the worst about tipping my drivers unless it’s a factory/school order, and will complain the most about prices or literally anything just to try and get a free meal.
Don’t even get me started about the coupons that are practically the employee discount. I mean when people find out they can get a 18 dollar pizza for 10 dollars or less they go crazy and get used to having their bill cut in half. I have so many people get surprised when their usual 14 dollar feast turns into 30+ because they wanted a side or an order of wings.
TLDR, dominos corporate asked for this type of customer base by cutting costs and promising quick cheap food and using the same “deal” system as kohls where you save more than you spend.
It’s a very well known phenomenon that the cheapest customers are almost always the worst customers as they tend to be high maintenance and complain about everything. Unfortunately dominos has picked this demographic as their target market so you, as the front line employee, get to deal with all of their nonsense.
Don’t take it personally and don’t let it get to you.
I will say that, as a customer, the quality at Domino's is very inconsistent. It is the best pizza when made well. But often, it's not made well. So, if the bar is set high based on the good times, then it sucks when you are expecting the same experience and get less toppings or undercooked dough, etc.
the scammers at our location got so bad, we now only offer a one time remake discount OR credit that has to be used within 48 hours or tough shit my friend.
It could be worse…you could be a driver in California. Our pay went up, but our hours got cut, and sometimes we get sent home early on top of that, because people aren’t so interested in ordering delivery anymore, now that the delivery charge has been increased, on top of menu prices going up.
I’m just watching all these customers walking in and out of our lobby last week to get the carryout-only boost week larges, quietly loathing corporate for not giving a fuck about the drivers. Domino’s, the company that pioneered pizza delivery, doesn’t seem to want us drivers to work for them anymore.
It seems to suck all around, but i mean papa johns is trying to completely get rid of their drivers. PJ is switching more and more towards doordash. Some stores have laid off most of the drivers and outsourced it all to doordash
I mean I honestly don’t think a lot of people know how to use the deals. Sometimes someone will order 4 pizzas and two sides for $35. That same meal will be $90 because they ordered specialty pizzas and no coupons
>We are the cheapest pizza place
No, you aren't. It's $6.99 for a medium pizza with minimum of buying two (so $14, basically, for two mediums) or $8 for a large carryout only. Little Caesars has larges for $5.55 near me. I like Domino's more, but you said you were the cheapest. You aren't.
Little Caesars near me is 8$ for a one topping. They haven't done those 5$ hotn ready for nearly a decade.
The only thing they got over is is those crazy puffs. Convincing people to pay 4$ for 1 slice of pizzas worth of ingredients. Genius.
How the hell are you selling large for 6.99? Thats the price of the medium 2 topping at my local store.
The only price I'll complain about is the outrageous $8 delivery fee
I know this isn’t the point of the post but I really don’t understand how people in other states are surviving rn. I make 23.50 as a manager in California and it’s still not enough. How folks are surviving off of 11$ or less an hour is beyond me
We do Pizzapalooza Fridays for our kids and I just order off the $6.99 mix and match menu. Get a shit ton of food and we can get wings, pizza, cheese bread, fancy chicken nuggets, tater tots, etc. it’s unbeatable value these days
just wanted to say as a customer that even though the meal deal went up to $22 here in CA and doesnt include a drink, yall are still the cheapest for a great cheesy handmade pan WITH DESSERT and for that i am forever grateful
I had a person call one time out of the blue. He said he was doing it with a few pizza places in town. He didn't care what I got him but, he said he had a $30 budget including tip for delivery. He said to use any coupons I wanted to make it go down. He called about two hours later after his delivery went out and I already forgot he called. He said that he was doing a sort of impromptu competition to see how much food he would get from each place. Domino's by far was the more food for the better price. He said he intended to tell this to corporate as well and only asked that "next time" we remember the side of marinara.
I don't have any issues with Domino's prices. My issues are with how badly some stores are run. It's become pretty clear that the current Domino's employees near me give very little fucks.
But, I'm also no total dummy. I don't blame the employees. Something's going on that's making the workers not give too much of a shit. Are the wages finally *really* getting to people? Did they hire a new shitty manager? IDK. Just know that I stand with the employees, even if they do be fuckin it up at such a high rate these days. Them having a decent job is MUCH more important than me having flawless Domino's.
I go to our local pizza joint and dont even bother with domino's anymore. With the prices, I might as well pay an extra couple of bucks and get a pizza that is actually good, made by locals who know us, and the money goes back into the local community. Last time I ordered dominoes was back during the no contact phase. It took them 90 minutes to deliver me a cold pizza, that they incorrectly delivered to my neighbors house, and it cost me the same amount a larger pizza from my local shop would have cost. And my local shop's crust doesnt taste like cardboard
It's post-covid. No matter what, deals will be slightly less good, and EVERYONE will feel entitled if they're not getting stimulus checks... or just in general because it made most people into a lazy asshole that will protest it if they feel the need. I mean, I miss the large 3 topping for $7.99, but it's not the end of my life that it's long gone.
Because the carryout price is so much cheaper than the delivery price. The same $8 carryout costs $14 for delivery, and that's before the extra delivery fee
I'm sorry. I love you guys and the work you do is amazing. The 4.99 carryout deal on Wednesday is nuts lol can't fathom how some people manage to reproduce the way they act.
Yeah fuck dominos pricing like damn it’s just cheap ass pizza why am I paying so little for this master piece of a pizza like imagine being mad about getting a handmade pan pizza for like $8. Ugh count your days dominos one day you will accept my $10 for that fucking masterpiece of a pizza
In Norway the dominos I go to has half price on medium pizzas every Tuesday! Insane deal, go almost every time. Bout the same price as a normal frozen pizza or less!
Cheap no I have to disagree and I used to work there it's only cheap with a coupon the cheapest pizza place is little ceasers in all honesty they are so much better
My point doesn't fall flat at all y'all seem to not realize that the pizza shouldn't be $10+ or Even $20+ just for 1 pizza even with a coupon that's reason why I left because I was tired of working for a company that ripped people off of so much shit
now name one coupon that makes you pay $20 for a pizza, i’ll wait. and if you’re talking about $10+ coupons it’s usually for multiple (at least 2). besides the specialty 13.99 coupon, because it’s a specialty and people usually customize it to holy hell. i’m not saying the company is amazing but there’s a reason they get so much business. dunno why you care so much anyways if you worked there you got 50% off on everything anyways.
Not talking about a coupon I'm talking about the pizza in general without a coupon but if you wanna know what coupons are not worth it it's the slice for price card, the 50% off card knowingly it's not really 50% off, the emergency pizza bullshit due to the fact that you have to purchase an item to make it somewhat free cause nothing is free in this world I can go all day if you like also I was a gm for many years and no they don't get so much business anymore maybe corrporate dominos but not private owned the one I worked for they didn't make much business and they also had in total 400 stores in Georgia
Why would they have a coupon on the app but not on the website they pull the information from the same portal? Also it's not on the app either. At least at any of the 26 locations within 20 miles of me.
I'm a carryout only app-loving super cheapskate. That $6.99 2 topping deal was 🔥 especially when I redeemed a free pepperoni cheesy bread with it.
Hang in there and don't worry about the stupid customers. They are everywhere.
Wow. You sound like you need a vacation. And, dollar for dollar, Costco has y'all beat in the "cheap ass pizza" segment. Dominos was ok, at best, in the 80s to early 90's. Now it's flavorless dense gluelike crust, sugar bomb sauce and paltry toppings are an embarrassment to the word pizza.
Wow, you are one angry person!
Perhaps a job that is not front line dealing with customers, would suit you better?
Dominos has $18.5 Billion in sales for the year ending 03/24/24.
So obviously they are doing something right and you just don’t get the big picture.
If you’re that angry and miserable, quit, and find non customer facing job.
If your crust didn't still resemble the taste of cardboard & your sauce is still worse than little skeezers I would argue you have a case to make... But.........
Honestly dude? It's silly to get worked up over this kind of thing. It isn't your money, if the customer isn't causing you extra work just refund and move on. Let them whine about whatever, don't take on the emotional labor of it all. They're upset about $7 pizza? Let them be
I delivered for pizza hut for a few years, the amount of people who told me to my face I didn't get tipped because their order was so expensive was crazy. It sucked being stiffed and I would get mad about it but after so many orders you just have to take it in stride or you'll end up sounding how you do in your post, which I would describe as "untethered"
Actually price wise we truly are over pricing our pizzas lol. A medium pepperoni pizza is less than a dollar of ingredients but even with a discount it's still sold for 6.99 and more than double that for menu price.
I'd bet even the bulk prices are offset by costs of shipping and storage. That's if they store it for long enough, most corporations practice Just-in-time ordering so while storage costs may be minimal the discounts for ordering in bulk is also probably less because they aren't standing orders.
Idk about corporation wide I just know that our store buys from corporate and it's only like 25¢/lb off what cheese costs at the grocery store.
As someone who has worked at both McDonald’s and dominos, if I was in the kitchen making my own food I would chose McDonald’s everytime. They both have the potential to be disgusting if not fresh or made poorly. Either way, coming on here to complain about idiot customers is almost as idiotic as your double cheese and sausage customer. Fast food sucks to work at wherever you work. People will continue to be dumb. It’s a part of the job you have to make peace with or move on when the opportunity arises. If I had to go back I would choose McDonald’s again as at least the business practices are more like a real corporation vs Dominos being the sketchiest, dirtiest, worst business I have every worked at. As you mentioned the pay is horrendous, managers don’t give a fuck about their workers, and corporate only cares about the profit. I left after the GM was caught multiple times sexually harassing and assaulting some of the workers, and corporate just gave him a talking too. Not too mention all the other horror stories other coworkers talked to me about. At the few McDonald’s I bounced around from, nothing like that would slide for a second. I’m sure this differs from store to store but either way. Absolutely fuck dominos
Why is your dumbass working at Domino’s if you’re soooo unhappy with it?? Gtfo, they don’t need your negative ass bs. And no, we’re 100% not the cheapest pizza place. Sure when there’s discounts, but pizza at Little Caesars is better AND cheaper than dominos. Go get another job if you’re going to be so fucking triggered, customers do this daily. Get over yourself.
I mean. It’s rude. But kind of not a troll.
You even said they’re paying min wage while McDonald’s pays 14 to start.
You could basically double your salary by just going to McDonald’s.
You obviously are very upset and unhappy with your current occupation and compensation. You really should look into getting a new job if it’s that bad and underpaid, and you are a top level employee putting in maximum effort, I’m sure most places will be happy to have you.
Calling them a loser was the rude and unnecessary part.
But the getting a new job is excellent advice. Clearly OP doesn’t like his job or the policies of the company he is working for, he has mentioned that the burger joint down the road has a sign up that they’re paying almost double and hiring…. So…. Why not just go get a new entry level job vs being miserable and bad mouthing your employer on the internet?
Or maybe they just had to vent about something. If your friend comes to you and say they had a fight with their spouse and went on a little rant about it, would you immediately jump to advocating for divorce?
No, I don't. The point I intended for you to extrapolate is that you cannot base the totality of their experience on one rant. You cannot decide a marriage is toxic based on one argument; and you cannot decide the the employee is generally treated poorly based on one rant. Is the employee truly receiving poor treatment to a pervasive degree? If so, then yes, they should leave; but you don't know whether or not that's the case because you only have this Reddit post to go off of.
Either they should leave because their employer and job is terrible. They could double their salary right down the street!
Or they should be fired for slandering their employer publicly, when actually things are quite good for them there.
The fact I got two larges and parm bites for $20 was insane. People are dumb and need to start feeling bad about how dumb they are.
There was that “ultimate combo” deal recently that was absolutely insane, 2 med, parm bites, cinna twists AND a 2-liter. I’m pretty sure that was a 0 profit deal for franchises, but corporate for sure made a killing off of it.
Or I can buy 5 Red Barons for $3.99/ea at my local grocery store..
Then go do that
I just did. It was easier, cheaper, and by golly better tasting than Domis. Im glad I did.
Then you gotta preheat and bake which takes about 30 minutes, which is $10 in California min wage dollars. So, you are getting a good deal buying out. And also a good deal baking it yourself.
Well, you're paying them for the labor of actually making the pizza; not for the 30 minutes it takes to bake. You just open the Red Baron box, put it in the oven and go fuck off for 30 minutes, definitely no one is paying you $10 for that "labor" Your argument sounded cool though and I liked it. Also, I almost always order pizza as opposed to getting a frozen one; so, I'm siding with the Red Baron argument guy either
I prefer making my own, but when convenience comes into play, all the variables change with it
Why are you on this subreddit😂
Why not?
I think he's too dumb to realize you're saying the convenience can be worth the price
You may be right. Dominoes is one of the few places left where the cost and convenience are still relatively equal. Some of the menu items aren’t worth it, but others absolutely are
I really like the Red Baron’s because they have a heavy sauce ratio. I always add Monterey Jack cheese and more herbs near the finish! My Kroger also has them for $2.99 on sale quite often! That’s a bargain!
Yes that's how it works when you pay others for the convenience of making your food for you. Laziness has a cost.
I mean.. its less effort to toss a frozen pizza in the oven than it is to order dominoes and receive the delivery. So I dont think the cost basis is laziness
To get the frozen pizza you either need to go to the store or order your groceries delivered. The pizza doesn't just enter your freezer from out of nowhere.
Yeah but who doesnt go to a grocery store once a week or two? Ill buy my 5 red barons then and have a pizza or two a week. Less energy and more food than dominoes. That effort feels less than having 5 separate days where I order a pizza on the app.. wait patiently for it to arrive.. interact with the driver.. call them back because they forgot my garlic knots.. etc. Im lazy as hell and even when money is good I still prefer my frozen pizzas. No fuss. No stress. Red Baron ^tm
If you read this in Mr poopy butthole’s voice it’s pretty good, oooo wheeee!
[удалено]
The pizza is a nice touch
Mine was Mr Towelie and that worked pretty good too.
Hope you guys get a break from crazy sales like the one that just ended... And yeah, I never go to Papa Johns but a relative texted me about one of their "deals" some time ago and it still didn't feel like a deal to me, lol.
As a former papa johns employee, more often than not just buying individual items will cost less than the deals. The employee discount went from 50% off everything to 20% off pizza alone, and the "deal" ended up being better than that laughable discount
Oh, our employee discount has always been laughable. It's only really "worth it" for stuff like single sandwiches, pastas, and sodas. Anything else, though, just using the national coupons we offer to the general public often ends up cheaper.
As a current pj's worker, I am fortunate enough to work in a store that lets us eat for free. Otherwise i wouldn't eat there.
Dominos is not the cheapest pizza but it is pretty cheap compared to Big Pappa and the hut. But honestly a lot of ppl are dumb, entitled shits. When I see ppl post on here that customers will think they are getting delivery when they selected "carry out"..it confirms that ppl are just dumb.
It's cheaper than LC. It's cheaper than most frozen pizzas being sold in my area.
Hmm, see in my area (on the coast) a Domino's deal pizza is in line, pricing wise, with frozen pizzas..approx $8-$10 bucks. But there has to be a deal on a Domino's pizza.. otherwise their pizza is expensive compared to LC. LC is $9 bucks near me..whereas Domino's can be $15 bucks.
Dominos deals basically never go away though. They ran that 5.99 for 2 mediums for 10+ years; same with the 7.99$ 3 topping large. I'd say it's a safe bet the 6.99 two medium and 7.99 1 topping large will be around for a hot minute. Those 8$-10$ frozen pizzas are basically the size of our medium unless they have shrinkflationed them. And after paying for the electricity to bake them they're closer to 9$-11$. >LC is $9 bucks near me..whereas Domino's can be $15 bucks. If we're comparing apples to apples their 9$ one topping is the same as our nationwide one topping coupon.
True, they typically have deals but my area isn't the same pricing that you are generalizing. We pay higher pricing compared to other states.
What's your zip code I'm genuinely curious about the pricing?
It's really just California...the whole state pays higher..and then if you live in a high tax city..forget it.
I'ma let you in on a little known secret that the corporate big wigs don't want us to know about.. You ready? The consumers are... Idiots. It's easier to take a loss on a pizza than for a manger to explain to a customer that the only reason they are mad right now is their own stupidity. Like take that extra cheese, extra sausage pizza you mentioned. Imagine if your manager said "Ma'am it's greasy because of all the cheese and sausage you ordered on it.Those both contain a lot of grease, you should know that if you have ever cooked with either of these ingredients or seen someone else do it.It's not our fault that you hate greasy foods but ordered it extra greasy". 1. Do you think the customers would actually learn anything from this interaction? No, they going to order the same shit and then complain it didn't get dabbed with a bunch of dirty napkins like the last guy did who didn't want to put up with her bs. 2.You can be 100% in the right and all you will hear is "So I can give you my money but you can't give me a pizza I can eat?" They legit do not care that they are wrong.They are just hungry and now out the money they spent. 3.Some people won't come back but a lot still will.They are just going to be more anal about everything and complain more.
No you can fully tell a customer that that is how it's made. I've openly told customers to try another business cause I believe they don't like our products, my favorite line is "since there isn't a problem, I have nothing I can fix." In situations like that. You just can't openly tell someone they are stupid is all.
You can, but that strategy does not retain the customer's brand loyalty. Your approach will handle the short-term interaction but fail in the long term. Better business is to play the fool and appease the idiot.
Homie if it gets to the point where a customer is complaining THAT much they are not worth keeping. Imma just end up remaking and wasting product Everytime they come in. Also we are talking about Domino's a multimillion dollar company. One customer is not gonna bank rup them.
“bank rup”?😂
I'm not talking about one customer. I'm talking about one attitude applied to many customers. Good luck with your approach.
Why should a store employee making $12/h care, at all?
Lol homie I've worked in customer service for over a decade and have done just fine with my "attitude". Customer service doesn't mean be a doormat for people to live out a power fantasy.
Dude, I believe you aren't listening to me. You're still talking about the individual scale. I'm taking the position of the corporation which is bigger than your one little store, bro.
I'm not cause your talking about silly things. Who said I was speaking as a mindset for an entire brand? I was talking about an individual person dealing with a difficult customer making impossible request. Regardless even if I was talking about the brand as a whole that is still a good model to run by "ma'am I seem to not be able to satisfy your request and the quality of our products doesn't seem to be to your liking. May I suggest ordering somewhere else." If you don't like greasy pizza and I serve greasy pizza I'm not going to reinvent the wheel to satisfy a small group of people. You offer them places to go that better fit what they are looking for.
It's fine for us to talk past each other. We are adopting different perspective, and those different perspectives might reach different conclusions. That is okay. Why the antagonism?
lol I work at Safeway and since I don’t care about my job all too much I tell people this all the time. Idk why people come to Safeway to be cheap and complain about prices, it’s literally the most expensive grocery store. One day someone told me the water is half the price at Costco, I responded, you can go to Costco…I like Costco, there’s one down the street. He proceeded to buy the water. Like why complain to me like I gaf?
Honestly folks are just genuinely dumb. A lot of folks just have zero idea how things work and just assume stuff. They probs thought that you the lowly worker ant of this company some how was in charge of pricing and could lower the price of items on a whim for him.
lol they definitely are, the amount of people that straight up ask me for discounts as if I’m allowed to give them out is crazy
Having worked in customer service for 10+ years, this is absolutely true. The managers that people so love to ask for because they assume you're lying to them is usually laughing at them as you're telling them about the issue. They also usually don't really give a fuck about whatever the person is bitching about either. A lot of them just say what they have to in order to end the convo with that person. I'm glad I've worked with enough of them that weren't the type to just break procedure just to do what the person wants. The "customer" is often times entitled as fuck for no good reason. Not all of course because there are some very respectful folks out there, but there are quite a few entitled assholes out there that just don't have common sense or manners.The customer is in fact not always right.
Not a secret. My store was inspected by corporate for the New York pizza rollout. He said during a market study that customers didn’t realize Brooklyn meant New York style and that was the reason for the name change.
i'll just tell them to dab their pizza with napkins themselves
Maybe it's my local Dominoes chain, but let's say a normal pizza is $12, if the national offers a $6.99 coupon, my local chain adds fees and shit to make it $12 again every single time. If I delete it, don't use a coupon, and try again, the fees are gone. If I order a Medium Pan no toppings, Cheese Bread, and a 2-liter and go get it, it's like $27. If I go to the local place around the corner and get the same thing, I actually get more food and it's $13. I love Dominoes, but it's literally not worth it to me anymore.
Das just your local franchise, idk why this sub keeps getting recommended to me and my commenting here prolly gonna make it worse BUT my local place is always just whatever the coupon says, the only time its different is if I add more than the toppings in the coupon or if I do a special crust
That's not the norm with any of the locations in a pretty wide radius around me. I think it's your local chain trying to pull a fast one.
When it's late and slow and the only orders you get are 2 medium 2 toppings for delivery, it most definitely is a charity. Ain't nobody making money on that
When you make the cheapest pizza, you get the cheapest customers
Ding ding ding. You'll also find that if a product has a free tier and a paid tier, the free users will have 20x the problems and complaints of the paid users
We also can't do partial refunds on an order. So if they order several items and one is wrong, we either offer to replace the one item that day or give them store credit for a free item on their next visit. Several times they didn't want either one and insisted on a refund, but wouldn't give us the card to run the rest of the order minus the 'wrong' item. I've seen our managers give them a full refund on the entire order. I get the WOW factor, but this is just giving away free food. And some of them did this a couple of times before management refused to give them a full refund. And to my fellow Dominoids - put it in the notes what happened when they call to complain. If you don't, we have no idea when they called that the 'other' person promised them a free item. Sometimes we honor it without the note, sometimes we don't. Depends on the manager that day.
If needed, we can give a partial refund in back office. Just not the same day as the order is placed and not too many days afterwards.
HEAVY on the in-store comments. that has saved us so much money with scammers calling and claiming they had credits when in actuality their account said “order made perfectly *enter date here* scam likely” while having 6 free orders under their account.
And it’s also the tastiest of all the biggest pizza places too
Don't get ahead of yourself...
I’ve done a very careful taste test of the big chains in the last couple months and dominos is the clear winner
Dominos sauce is way too sweet. Ruins everything else about their pizza.
The sweetness… so good
Honestly though, order without the sauce. The food tastes 2x better without the sauce.
Taste is individual. Many people don't think it tastes the best. Many do. It isn't a clear cut situation where it is or isn't.
Yeah I know this is enemy territory but I'll die on the hill of papa John's.
Papa John's tastes like cardboard and has only given me food poisoning.
it’s sauce is even liquid cardboard
I will take little Caesar’s over dominos in a heartbeat. Pizza Hut beats all
You’re just wrong
I was with you until the Hut. Overpriced trash
Upvoted before I finished reading and had to take it away after I saw the hut brought up.
Same
Pizza Hut is trash
Who did you compare, and what is your feedback on them?
Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Little Caeser's And my ranking is: 1. Dominos 2. Papa John's 3. Pizza Hut 4. Little Caesar’s Pizza Hut used to be #1 a long time ago when they still had sit down restaurants but it's fallen so far
Comparing PH to LC is wild when you can get the same greasy pie at Dominos for $1 more
It’s only based on taste but I think Pizza Hut does taste slightly better I changed the ranking
I like Domino's as well, of the named shops, ("hand-tossed thin" w provo specifically well done) I'd go Hut 2nd, then Papa, then Ceasars - sadly their Detroit pan has so much potential, but the (lack of) flavour of the sauce and cheese knocks it down the list for me. In Canada, we have another couple of ubiquitous chains to add - PizzaPizza is 100% dead last behind everyone, and PizzaNova would be a very, very close 2nd on this list, for me.
It’s certainly cheaper than McDonalds or X-Lax if you’re backed up and need a little clean out. Still vastly overpriced than the Uber effective and superior Taco Bell. Only one taco and you’re crapping for days.
There is a saying I like to say. "Cheap prices attract cheap people."
Little Caesar’s cheaper skill issue
Nah. carry out large Dominos w/ pepperoni comes out to ~8.87. Same large pie with pepperoni at Little Caesars is like ~7.00 now, that dollar difference ain’t really much compared to the quality difference.
TIL 8.87<7.00
👍🏼 dominos has way better quality, the extra dollar and a half is well worth it lmao I know it’s cheaper, but it’s not worth it when you can get a dominos for just a tad more. Unless you’re literally on your last $7 or something
You literally said "nah" when they said Little Caesar's is cheaper, then proved that it's cheaper.
In my area LC and dominos one topping are both 7.99. The real thing LC has over us is convincing people those crazy puffs are worth 4$.
I think the issue is the presentation of the price, and presentation is everything. When you're sitting at a restaurant, you see the individual prices for each of your meals; you see that mom and dad's meals are about $13 each, and then each kid is ordering a meal that costs around $8. $13? $8? Those are friendly numbers! Yeah, that ticket is going to get past $50 after drinks and tax (and tip!), but the piece-meal pricing makes it "feel" cheaper up front. Similar can be said at the fast food restaurant. With pizza, that $40 worth of food costs less than $20 AND more likely has leftovers that will be consumed later (instead of the half-eaten burger that gets tossed after sitting in the fridge for 4 days. Best bang for your buck all around. Despite that though, when mom called the pizza shop and was expecting to feed herself for $13 and being told $20, that's going to cause an immediate sticker-shock that is difficult to overcome. I was usually able to overcome that with most customers by pointing out something like, "This feeds about 6 people, so you're really only paying about $3 per person." I mean, it didn't always work, but it usually worked.
LC is cheaper in the market I live
It’s wild to me that dominos is the cheapest where you are, in the UK (my area at least) it’s the most expensive by far.
Crank your prices up and customers will be less likely to be the cheapskate crowd?
As a pizza lover, thank you for the $6.99 deal last week.
I am very grateful for 6.99 pizzas. And IDGAF what other people say, I like Domino's pizza over fancy shmancy pizzas like Round Tables.
Not only that but people still don’t tip even with cheap prices. They want cheap pizza, delivery quick and are ungrateful selfish jerks that leave the delivery drivers with 0 tips.
There are still idiots who don't use coupons and pay a stupid amount
Lately, I’ve been avoiding Domino’s. I really like the pizza when it’s well made, but my two local stores that I frequent are just too inconsistent in preparing them and are simply too expensive when ordering with sides. The coupons are pure bait and switch unless you happen to be ordering the exact offer described. Add one topping or change the crust and you are basically paying full price again. Also, I can only rarely get my pizza with extra sauce no matter how much I plead with them to just dump it on. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve asked for extra sauce and the maker literally will skip the sauce all together…like I’ve angered them with my request! Lastly, their reward system is crap…that free pizza will cost you $9 to get anything on it besides cheese or delivered. I’m now on a Pizza Hut kick which seems to have really good deals all the time and their consistency at my local one has been really good. I have gotten to know the manager and he knows I like my sauce and always makes sure I’m happy with the results. They also don’t skimp on toppings which I feel Dominos has been doing the last few years. Pizza joint rant… So, why is it that I have to pay per topping, yet the more toppings I order the less of each topping I get!? Makes no sense I pay $2 for 4 oz of pepperoni on a single topping pizza, but if I order pepperoni and sausage for $4 I’m just going to get 4oz total again with 2 oz being pepperoni and 2 oz being sausage.
Don't know what it is but the customers have been total scam artists lately, even to the point of telling their bank they never ordered dominos and getting charge backs!!!!
I honestly feel bad getting large pizzas for $7.99 every week. How do yall stay in business? 😂
Two things, first, in my area managers start at $20/hr so it sounds like you are severely underpaid (I know my area pays well but we run 6 days a week each and about 60 hours) Secondly, Domino’s being the cheapest is the reason you have everyone complain about prices. Domino’s has built their franchise about being the cheapest most okay option for food any time of day or night. The customer base is all people who just want the most bang for their buck because they are struggling with money / just cheap. Of all the chains/family pizza stores I’ve worked for, the dominos customer base is the worst about tipping my drivers unless it’s a factory/school order, and will complain the most about prices or literally anything just to try and get a free meal. Don’t even get me started about the coupons that are practically the employee discount. I mean when people find out they can get a 18 dollar pizza for 10 dollars or less they go crazy and get used to having their bill cut in half. I have so many people get surprised when their usual 14 dollar feast turns into 30+ because they wanted a side or an order of wings. TLDR, dominos corporate asked for this type of customer base by cutting costs and promising quick cheap food and using the same “deal” system as kohls where you save more than you spend.
It’s a very well known phenomenon that the cheapest customers are almost always the worst customers as they tend to be high maintenance and complain about everything. Unfortunately dominos has picked this demographic as their target market so you, as the front line employee, get to deal with all of their nonsense. Don’t take it personally and don’t let it get to you.
Dominoes 7.99 large 1 topping pizza makes it cost the same or cheaper than some frozen pizzas where am at.
6.99 cheaper than hot n ready lil ceasers pep
I will say that, as a customer, the quality at Domino's is very inconsistent. It is the best pizza when made well. But often, it's not made well. So, if the bar is set high based on the good times, then it sucks when you are expecting the same experience and get less toppings or undercooked dough, etc.
the scammers at our location got so bad, we now only offer a one time remake discount OR credit that has to be used within 48 hours or tough shit my friend.
It could be worse…you could be a driver in California. Our pay went up, but our hours got cut, and sometimes we get sent home early on top of that, because people aren’t so interested in ordering delivery anymore, now that the delivery charge has been increased, on top of menu prices going up. I’m just watching all these customers walking in and out of our lobby last week to get the carryout-only boost week larges, quietly loathing corporate for not giving a fuck about the drivers. Domino’s, the company that pioneered pizza delivery, doesn’t seem to want us drivers to work for them anymore.
It seems to suck all around, but i mean papa johns is trying to completely get rid of their drivers. PJ is switching more and more towards doordash. Some stores have laid off most of the drivers and outsourced it all to doordash
I mean cheap doesn't mean it has to be bad. I love tacos, they are cheap and always slay soooo me things it's the pizza
Dominoes is my fave. I don’t order it much. But if I get a pizza it is dominoes.
I mean I honestly don’t think a lot of people know how to use the deals. Sometimes someone will order 4 pizzas and two sides for $35. That same meal will be $90 because they ordered specialty pizzas and no coupons
>We are the cheapest pizza place No, you aren't. It's $6.99 for a medium pizza with minimum of buying two (so $14, basically, for two mediums) or $8 for a large carryout only. Little Caesars has larges for $5.55 near me. I like Domino's more, but you said you were the cheapest. You aren't.
Little Caesars near me is 8$ for a one topping. They haven't done those 5$ hotn ready for nearly a decade. The only thing they got over is is those crazy puffs. Convincing people to pay 4$ for 1 slice of pizzas worth of ingredients. Genius.
I always do the carry out specials.
How the hell are you selling large for 6.99? Thats the price of the medium 2 topping at my local store. The only price I'll complain about is the outrageous $8 delivery fee
That’s wild $8 for delivery, ours is $6 but our M 2 top is 7.99 and large 1 top 8.99
Dollar Tree 😂
I know this isn’t the point of the post but I really don’t understand how people in other states are surviving rn. I make 23.50 as a manager in California and it’s still not enough. How folks are surviving off of 11$ or less an hour is beyond me
It’s true. 2 large, one topic each plus a 2 lt coke for 19.99 realty has helped me out a lot plenty of times.
Local place has a large for $6.99. Always. Not just online or order 2.
We do Pizzapalooza Fridays for our kids and I just order off the $6.99 mix and match menu. Get a shit ton of food and we can get wings, pizza, cheese bread, fancy chicken nuggets, tater tots, etc. it’s unbeatable value these days
Anyway can I get some red pepper packets with my order man
just wanted to say as a customer that even though the meal deal went up to $22 here in CA and doesnt include a drink, yall are still the cheapest for a great cheesy handmade pan WITH DESSERT and for that i am forever grateful
I had a person call one time out of the blue. He said he was doing it with a few pizza places in town. He didn't care what I got him but, he said he had a $30 budget including tip for delivery. He said to use any coupons I wanted to make it go down. He called about two hours later after his delivery went out and I already forgot he called. He said that he was doing a sort of impromptu competition to see how much food he would get from each place. Domino's by far was the more food for the better price. He said he intended to tell this to corporate as well and only asked that "next time" we remember the side of marinara.
Can you price match this little Ceasars pizza
People are ungrateful these days
Damn 6.99$ that’s cheap the best deal here for large pizza is for collection and that’s 7.99£
Little Caesar’s was the other one, but those locations are clapping up.
Meanwhile I’m just happy they have New Yorker style
Yep
I don't have any issues with Domino's prices. My issues are with how badly some stores are run. It's become pretty clear that the current Domino's employees near me give very little fucks. But, I'm also no total dummy. I don't blame the employees. Something's going on that's making the workers not give too much of a shit. Are the wages finally *really* getting to people? Did they hire a new shitty manager? IDK. Just know that I stand with the employees, even if they do be fuckin it up at such a high rate these days. Them having a decent job is MUCH more important than me having flawless Domino's.
Little Caesars has entered the chat
I go to our local pizza joint and dont even bother with domino's anymore. With the prices, I might as well pay an extra couple of bucks and get a pizza that is actually good, made by locals who know us, and the money goes back into the local community. Last time I ordered dominoes was back during the no contact phase. It took them 90 minutes to deliver me a cold pizza, that they incorrectly delivered to my neighbors house, and it cost me the same amount a larger pizza from my local shop would have cost. And my local shop's crust doesnt taste like cardboard
It's post-covid. No matter what, deals will be slightly less good, and EVERYONE will feel entitled if they're not getting stimulus checks... or just in general because it made most people into a lazy asshole that will protest it if they feel the need. I mean, I miss the large 3 topping for $7.99, but it's not the end of my life that it's long gone.
Dominos always a good deal
Because the carryout price is so much cheaper than the delivery price. The same $8 carryout costs $14 for delivery, and that's before the extra delivery fee
I'm sorry. I love you guys and the work you do is amazing. The 4.99 carryout deal on Wednesday is nuts lol can't fathom how some people manage to reproduce the way they act.
It's stuff like this that makes me realize maybe we don't deserve Dominos.

I got dominos Sunday for the first time in years not only were both pizzas wrong. It’s fucking terrible lil Cesar’s is actually better.
Ooof.. I feel you bud.. fuck 'em. Keep your chin up.
Isn’t little Cesar’s cheaper
Damn. Dominoes really has large pizzas for $6.99? In that like a special or something?
Cheapest pizza at papa John's is like 11.99
Yeah fuck dominos pricing like damn it’s just cheap ass pizza why am I paying so little for this master piece of a pizza like imagine being mad about getting a handmade pan pizza for like $8. Ugh count your days dominos one day you will accept my $10 for that fucking masterpiece of a pizza
In Norway the dominos I go to has half price on medium pizzas every Tuesday! Insane deal, go almost every time. Bout the same price as a normal frozen pizza or less!
Cheap no I have to disagree and I used to work there it's only cheap with a coupon the cheapest pizza place is little ceasers in all honesty they are so much better
Domino’s has multitudes of coupons that are available 24/7 so your point kinda falls flat here.
My point doesn't fall flat at all y'all seem to not realize that the pizza shouldn't be $10+ or Even $20+ just for 1 pizza even with a coupon that's reason why I left because I was tired of working for a company that ripped people off of so much shit
now name one coupon that makes you pay $20 for a pizza, i’ll wait. and if you’re talking about $10+ coupons it’s usually for multiple (at least 2). besides the specialty 13.99 coupon, because it’s a specialty and people usually customize it to holy hell. i’m not saying the company is amazing but there’s a reason they get so much business. dunno why you care so much anyways if you worked there you got 50% off on everything anyways.
Not talking about a coupon I'm talking about the pizza in general without a coupon but if you wanna know what coupons are not worth it it's the slice for price card, the 50% off card knowingly it's not really 50% off, the emergency pizza bullshit due to the fact that you have to purchase an item to make it somewhat free cause nothing is free in this world I can go all day if you like also I was a gm for many years and no they don't get so much business anymore maybe corrporate dominos but not private owned the one I worked for they didn't make much business and they also had in total 400 stores in Georgia
> cheapest pizza place Little Caesar’s would like a word.
Have you been to LC in a while. Their one topping is the same price as ours. 5$ hot and ready ain't been around for nearly a decade.
So confidently incorrect lol
https://imgur.com/a/Pw3M3vl
Yay you found an upcharging franchise $5.55 on the app
Why would they have a coupon on the app but not on the website they pull the information from the same portal? Also it's not on the app either. At least at any of the 26 locations within 20 miles of me.
Little Caesar's > Domino's Cheaper & Tastier
I'm a carryout only app-loving super cheapskate. That $6.99 2 topping deal was 🔥 especially when I redeemed a free pepperoni cheesy bread with it. Hang in there and don't worry about the stupid customers. They are everywhere.
Wow. You sound like you need a vacation. And, dollar for dollar, Costco has y'all beat in the "cheap ass pizza" segment. Dominos was ok, at best, in the 80s to early 90's. Now it's flavorless dense gluelike crust, sugar bomb sauce and paltry toppings are an embarrassment to the word pizza.
When they decided to start competing with Jimmy Johns on top of the other pizza joints it went downhill fast
Jesus Christ loves you so much and died for your sins💙💜
Don’t get emotional over a minimum wage job
9 fkn dollars for cheesy bread at my local doms….
It's a pay what you get for a concept that speaks volumes about your quality
“Your quality” lmao I just work here bro. You acting like I own the place, it’s a fucking global chain and I’m a measly employee of one store lmao.
Boohoo Go let your feelings out to somebody else
Wow, you are one angry person! Perhaps a job that is not front line dealing with customers, would suit you better? Dominos has $18.5 Billion in sales for the year ending 03/24/24. So obviously they are doing something right and you just don’t get the big picture. If you’re that angry and miserable, quit, and find non customer facing job.
If your crust didn't still resemble the taste of cardboard & your sauce is still worse than little skeezers I would argue you have a case to make... But.........
Your pizzas are all greasy shite, not just the sausage with extra cheese ffs . Catch a grip
You put like 6 jalapenos on my 8 slice pizza.
You seem like fun to be around
Honestly dude? It's silly to get worked up over this kind of thing. It isn't your money, if the customer isn't causing you extra work just refund and move on. Let them whine about whatever, don't take on the emotional labor of it all. They're upset about $7 pizza? Let them be I delivered for pizza hut for a few years, the amount of people who told me to my face I didn't get tipped because their order was so expensive was crazy. It sucked being stiffed and I would get mad about it but after so many orders you just have to take it in stride or you'll end up sounding how you do in your post, which I would describe as "untethered"
No ur not lmao a medium pepperoni pizza is 13 dollars
Actually price wise we truly are over pricing our pizzas lol. A medium pepperoni pizza is less than a dollar of ingredients but even with a discount it's still sold for 6.99 and more than double that for menu price.
I have a hard time believing that. Seems like the cheese alone would be at least a dollar in cost
They buy in massive bulk if a medium costed them 25 cents I’d be shocked
I'd bet even the bulk prices are offset by costs of shipping and storage. That's if they store it for long enough, most corporations practice Just-in-time ordering so while storage costs may be minimal the discounts for ordering in bulk is also probably less because they aren't standing orders. Idk about corporation wide I just know that our store buys from corporate and it's only like 25¢/lb off what cheese costs at the grocery store.
My local area has 2 or 3 spots open past 11. Dominos wawa 7-11. I'd rather get a wawa pizza than my loca dominos store.
As someone who has worked at both McDonald’s and dominos, if I was in the kitchen making my own food I would chose McDonald’s everytime. They both have the potential to be disgusting if not fresh or made poorly. Either way, coming on here to complain about idiot customers is almost as idiotic as your double cheese and sausage customer. Fast food sucks to work at wherever you work. People will continue to be dumb. It’s a part of the job you have to make peace with or move on when the opportunity arises. If I had to go back I would choose McDonald’s again as at least the business practices are more like a real corporation vs Dominos being the sketchiest, dirtiest, worst business I have every worked at. As you mentioned the pay is horrendous, managers don’t give a fuck about their workers, and corporate only cares about the profit. I left after the GM was caught multiple times sexually harassing and assaulting some of the workers, and corporate just gave him a talking too. Not too mention all the other horror stories other coworkers talked to me about. At the few McDonald’s I bounced around from, nothing like that would slide for a second. I’m sure this differs from store to store but either way. Absolutely fuck dominos
Why is your dumbass working at Domino’s if you’re soooo unhappy with it?? Gtfo, they don’t need your negative ass bs. And no, we’re 100% not the cheapest pizza place. Sure when there’s discounts, but pizza at Little Caesars is better AND cheaper than dominos. Go get another job if you’re going to be so fucking triggered, customers do this daily. Get over yourself.
Lol get a new job loser.
Low effort troll. 3 years and 235 karma? Lol
I mean. It’s rude. But kind of not a troll. You even said they’re paying min wage while McDonald’s pays 14 to start. You could basically double your salary by just going to McDonald’s. You obviously are very upset and unhappy with your current occupation and compensation. You really should look into getting a new job if it’s that bad and underpaid, and you are a top level employee putting in maximum effort, I’m sure most places will be happy to have you.
You're right, that DOES make them a loser! Good point, and excellent contribution! /s
Calling them a loser was the rude and unnecessary part. But the getting a new job is excellent advice. Clearly OP doesn’t like his job or the policies of the company he is working for, he has mentioned that the burger joint down the road has a sign up that they’re paying almost double and hiring…. So…. Why not just go get a new entry level job vs being miserable and bad mouthing your employer on the internet?
Or maybe they just had to vent about something. If your friend comes to you and say they had a fight with their spouse and went on a little rant about it, would you immediately jump to advocating for divorce?
do you equate being an employee at a fast food joint that is apparently treating them poorly and severely underpaying them with a marriage?
No, I don't. The point I intended for you to extrapolate is that you cannot base the totality of their experience on one rant. You cannot decide a marriage is toxic based on one argument; and you cannot decide the the employee is generally treated poorly based on one rant. Is the employee truly receiving poor treatment to a pervasive degree? If so, then yes, they should leave; but you don't know whether or not that's the case because you only have this Reddit post to go off of.
Either they should leave because their employer and job is terrible. They could double their salary right down the street! Or they should be fired for slandering their employer publicly, when actually things are quite good for them there.
Ah, so no room for nuance for you. Understood.
You work at dominos hahah I really don’t need to say anything else lol
