    I complained to Domino's today as one of their delivery drivers was knocking on my front door at 00.35 this morning. Surely if they were delivering at that time and unsure of which door to knock, they would ring the number on the order?! When I looked out of my window (ground floor flat) this guy was stood right by my window and scared the life out of me. He was walking between my door and the upstairs flat (who had ordered the pizza) and knocked both!!

  • should i complain to the buses? i was waiting at bus stop and put my hand out for the bus and as it was coming to a stop i turned round to give my gf a kiss goodbye then i heard it open to door so i turned around and looked at the driver and was about to get on when he looked at me (now walking towards the bus) and closed the doors and drove off. and because off this i had to get a seperate service bus that cost me more money and came at a later time, making me miss next bus i was going to get and haev to wait another half an hour.

    Not doing too well:

    McCain (Compliment) - no vouchers to send out
    Lush - Nothing - no surprise there
    Soap n Glory - no samples - no suprise there
    Boots (Compliment) - nice email

    Dowe Egberts - said they would send free samples for Senseo machine :)

    In the past have found Options to be good - sent me free hot choc samples and then a jar of the coconut flavour cos I couldnt find it in shops

    I think Lush must get 825658962386348 emails asking for samples everyday :rotfl:

    This reminds me I received an email from the Sanctuary yesterday I complimented themlast week not expecting a reply,but I got a lovely response and they have promised to send me a little sample :T

    I got my lipcote stuff yesterday which was a teeny tiny bottle,some stickers and tips on how to use it,and WKD sent me a keyring-not bad for a newbie eh!!

    I will update when I have any other news peeps!

    Gd luck every1 xx

    The manager of the store got in contact to apologised and to compensate me, let me order a meal for free - two large pizzas with pudding all delivered promptly! Thank you Dominos!
