Domino's is wimpy pizza, Pizza hut is grease city, and Papa John's was what used to be a good diversion from the other two but has now turned into a Domino's clone.
My sob story? I ordered from Papa Johns one day, and was preparing to pay with a personal check. The guy takes the check, looks at my ID, looks at the street address, and calls his boss. They reject my check, and I get into a heated argument with the manager about why:
PJ: The street address doesn't match the check.
Me: What's that matter? You have my drivers license.
PJ: The address on the check has to match the delivery address.
(WTF!)
Me: What does that have to do with anything?!
PJ: The bank isn't in our area. (suddenly changing his excuse)
Me: What the hell are you talking about?!
PJ: It's not a local bank.
Me: It's a BANK OF AMERICA. There are TWO BRANCHES within TWO BLOCKS of your store!
PJ: But your branch isn't local.
Me: (realizing that this bastard won't let me have my pizza) F--- YOU!!!

If their bank says no, and they accept the check, they have to eat the entire cost. Checks suck. It isn't the managers fault, why would he not want to make a sale. Don't take things so personally.

It would be in your best interest never to order from that location ever again.

I agree totally. Other than the bad service, your name & address is probably on a list for pizza with "Special toppings" the next time you order from there.:disgust:

I had a run in with the local Pizza Pizza not too long ago:

<me looking at the clock...>
Me: Hmm... looks like he is gonna be late!
*5 mins pass*
*doorbell rings, he's 5 minutes late*
DG: That'll be 21.xx please.
Me: You're late... don't I get the pizza for free?
DG: I was here on time.
Me: No, you weren't.
DG: I've been ringing the doorbell for 5 minutes.
Me: I've been reading the paper at the kitchen table waiting for you. I would have heard 5 minutes of doorbell ringing.
DG: But you didn't answer the door!
Me: Yes, yes I did. Do you think I wouldn't hear you ringing the doorbell?
*crickets*
Me: Are you going to honour your guarantee?
DG: But I was ringing the doorbell.
Me: No you weren't. Take the pizza back.
DG: Bbbbbbbut...
*slam*
*10 minutes pass*
*phone rings*
DG: OK, I was wrong. I'll sell you the pizza for 10 bucks.
Me: It's cold now... I don't want it.
DG: Bbbbbbut...
*click*

you're an idiot. you don't call them assholes because you're the asshole for not providing a place to park their car.

next time use some frigging common sense about that.

the whole breadsticks thing you were dead on about though.

(didnt pizza delivery people patent the "blink and run upstairs" technique?
) So Im waiting outside talking to the storeowner below me about this asshole delivery driver, and the guy walks by RIGHT when im saying that. Whoops!


Anyways, I paid for it and then realized that the drink and cinisticks were nowhere to be found. We call up and they said, well you didnt order that. And we went round and round on how we were promised the drink and the cinisticks, so we should recieve them. Nope, the manager says, you'll have to pay for them, basically calling us a liar.

So I called corporate. Told them about it and they said they'll send out a "dinner on us" coupon good for a pizza and 4 drinks next time we order from that store. AND they have to call and apologize for being such bitches.

Eh? - Lucky, I'm sorry about your experience, but how can you not notice a one litre bottle being absent from a pizza order?

We ordered wings as well, so I figured the huge bag he handed me would logically have everything else in it. Guess not.

Im leaving this town in a couple months anyways, and I'd never order from them again anyways. Crappy pizza to boot.



No offense Lucky, but just because the delivery driver called and asked if you could meet him outside,there wasn't a need for to you call his manager and call him an "asshole" to his boss. Seems like a lame thing to do.

Is it safe to assume that the delivery guy "asked" if you to meet him outside and not "told" you to?

[/quote]


Dont know where you got the idea but I didnt call his manager to complain about the delivery driver. Matter of fact, I didnt say a word about him. What I said was that when I was waiting outside, I was talking to the owner of the store downstairs (I live above it), telling him about this rude delivery guy when the the delivery guy walked by me and heard me.

Good god spare me your crap. You live downtown and then try and tell me to "provide" a space to park their car.
EVERYONE blink-parks around here, and if the guy was too lazy to do that, he could have temporarily parked in a service driveway 30 feet away.

It amazes me how much more pleasant things are when you are an assertive customer and not a doormat.

Good job.

He'll be getting more than grease if he's foolish enough to order from that store again.
