    is it just me that worries that when you complain in food places they might do something dodgy to the free food they give you as compo?

    i just vote with my feet and never eat there again!!


    Yeah I've thought that many of times I don't bother complaining at fast food places now after I seen the Eminem vid where he spits on the onion rings :silenced:

    It's rare I eat out now anyway. I've never been to dominoes before though there isn't one local to me but seeing this sort of puts me off it.

    Hanna have you heard anything back?

    Woah! I come back to this thread and there's lots of posts. Thanks to you all.

    I've been out of action the past few days. My OH did get a call from Domino's on Friday but he couldn't answer it because he was at work (ID said Domino's). I would rather it all be through email/letters if possible anyway.

    That's what I've been afraid of. Even if we were to get free vouchers, I don't we would ever use them for this reason (any offers???:D ). My whole gripe with this was that they might have been trying to actually scam us and they might be trying it with other people.

    Well, after sending another chaser email, I received a call at 9.30pm last night from an apologetic manager who offered us a free pizza as compensation for what we went through. His exact words were "the driver was mistaken", but didn't mention anything about the phonecall.

    I'm not really sure how to feel about it. I am grateful they finally got back to me (after nearly four weeks!!). But after reading the posts on here, I can't help but feel, a bit, you know, "lets throw free food at these people as this is our answer to everything". Not fobbed off exactly, it's really hard to explain.

    Yep i know how you feel! Its your call, You can accept the free pizza and eat it (well i would stuff my face in LMAO) and then forget about that branch or just forget it and call the manger and give him a peice of your mind!

    I remember when i found a peice of meat on my veg pizza, and complained. I got a letter saying "We are sorry and dont know how this happened and it shouldnt off BLAH BLAH BLAH" and then a voucher, Got a pizza and well never went there again.

    Dominos well like you said will throw food at people to make them happy. And it does becuase food is my best friend :rotfl:

Another hour went by and then pizza came...cold and with long black hairs in it...did I reorder...erm nope :eek:

    Have you ordered from Dominoes? The one here has a very specific setout, a pen couldnt change it.

    But it might be possible to print out a complete fake docket.

    My OH had the free pizza on Friday night. :D
    I told him he was brave and to inspect the pizza first, lol. He seems to be okay so far...

    I had beans on toast for my tea...
