Get together a large enough group of poor people, and you have $35 to drop on a meal for a large group pretty damn quickly.

That's not such a good deal. You can buy 50 pounds of rice for 10 bucks or something like that. Now that's a lot of food.

Sadly, when you're in college, a meal that costs more than $5 is prettymuch out of the question.


Then maximize your eating dollar. You can make a pound of pasta with sauce and garlic bread for half the price of a crappy Dominos pseudo-pizza and get more food out of it.

Is it the driver's fault? Sending the driver to go back for their crappy sauce is crummy. They took it out on the wrong person, especially by not tipping.

but think: why did they got blacklisted? how would the place knows that they made the delivery guy go back to get the sauce if the delivery boy didn't b!tch about it back in the store?

the delivery guy squealed. he gets what he deserves.

Think about it again. If you were the delivery guy and for THREE weeks had to make 4 trips for every order, would you not say anything to the manager? That is insanity.

If I were EyeMWing, I'd talk to the manager. Taking it out on the people that don't deserve it is wrong.

if i were the delivery guy, i'd take a note of eyeMwing's number, then make sure next time i get the orders straight. that is your job to get what's ordered being delivered. even if you drive back every time to get the sauce, that's already messed up: the order should have been right when it was first delivered.

We'd LOVE to cook... But the nearest kitchen open to us is 10 miles out, and the best we can do on-campus is a microwave.

Oh, believe me, the manager was spoken to about the constant forgetting-of-condiments, and the manager was spoken to about the "WTF, you charged us $2.25 for something that we just found out is actually free" and we got the "With your next order, we'll send you some coupons" - and we got 3 "5-5-5 deal" coupons (which aren't neccessary to get the damned deal)

A smart delivery guy would've at the least told the manager that the orders weren't being properly fulfilled. But, let's be realistic: he isn't the one preparing the orders. I've talked to managers plenty when my order wasn't properly fulfilled and in return, I've gotten free dinner vouchers and even apologies. This also includes fast-food restaurants such as Dominos.

Dominos pissed me off the other day when I placed an order for a deep dish. I ordered online and clicked to pay with a check.

When the guy arrived, I had my license, check, and a cash tip for him. He looked at the check and informed me he couldn't accept it because my address wasn't printed on it. That was the first time they ever did that to me. (The check wasn't a temp; I've only had my full name on my checks for 5 years now)

So, I ended up giving him almost exact change and no tip. He didn't mind, though, since he's delivered for me about 3 times and always got a tip.

If you spoke to the manager more than once, then it really was a lost cause. Most times, I've been given free pizzas from Dominos because they almost always screw up the order. Though, I'm sure the district manager might've helped.

We've dealt with the regional manager on other matters (not complaints) before. She's a stone cold super-frosted bitch, as is the store manager.

as they should be. you sound like a complete doucebag, and if I were the delivery guy I'd put some special sauce on your pizza everytime. how fat are you that you need to put ranch and garlic sauce on your already fattening pizza?

In that case, I'd take up Squisher's suggestion and contact the Attorney General's office.

do you realize how pathetic you are? posting on a forum about how dominos forgot to bring you a tiny cup of ranch sauce. deal with it, you wont die if you eat pizza with no ranch sauce on it, will you? you're in college, you're supposed to be more mature than that. life isnt always fair, grow the hell up dude. seriously. you're like a little kid who doesnt get a toy with his happy meal. if you're that desperate for ranch sauce, why not knock on your neighbor's door and see if they can spare you some ranch dressing? hell, you may even make some friends.

He's complaining about poor customer service, which I'm sure EVERYONE is guilty of doing.

i wouldnt really call forgetting a cup of ranch sauce, which is free, poor customer service. especially if you have made the delivery boy go back and get it. do you know how many orders dominos must get each night? im sure they have more to worry about than forgetting to bring you a little cup of ranch dressing. which by the way doesnt come standard with pizza, its meant for the breadsticks. and if you want it so much, go to stop and shop and buy a bottle of it for 2 bucks. that should cover you for a week or two

Payment for a service and tip is rendered when the COMPLETE order is delivered. Ordering a cup of free ranch sauce is no different in terms of satisfaction than is ordering a $3 order of bread sticks. It being free has nothing to do with customer service in this case.

Neighbors? You mean some professor has ranch sauce in his office, because we certainly aren't anywhere near anything that could be called a residence (as you should have been able to ascertain from my posts about not having a kitchen available for 10 miles)

Judging by the number of pizzas in the car... It's just us and the dorms for the other college.

You do realize they pay for their own gas right? OP is a d!ck and got what he deserved IMO. For the record, at the Domino's up the street ranch costs extra if you don't order wings.

I was a delivery driver for 3 years, and yea, we pay for our own gas. I also got the orders correct so I didn't have to waste my time and money driving back to the store because I forgot something.

And I've done it before, and I'd do it again if I was still in the business. If the order taker fvcks up, he better expect to get his ass chewed out by the delivery guy.
