Working in my little cubicle, with these days where my schedule consists largely of working, school, eating and sleeping, I eat out far more often than I should. It's usually a pick between "do I want to go out and GET dinner, or can I have it delivered?" Delivery consists of three choices: pizza, pizza and pizza. Three restaurants, basically. Now, technically, there's also a sandwich shop, but unless I can get my coworker to go in with me, that's usually out as they have a minimum order for delivery.
So tonight it was to be Pizza Hut. Cheesy bites pizza. I can hang with that. So I call in and place my order, and am informed it will be a two hour wait.
Excuse me? Two hours? It's a Wednesday night, not known for being busy. Add to that the fact that the LAST time I called them it was also a weeknight and I was also given the two hour estimate.
Now, some of it I understand. Employment is dang near 100% here, despite what a few tweakers might say to the contrary. The employers are practically BEGGING for work (which is why McDonald's remains the mecca for illegal aliens...they're pretty near the only place that pays a flat minimum wage), so yeah, it might be hard to find a driver. But you're in business to do business, and if Domino's can keep enough drivers, you're obviously not doing something right.
Since I was in a particularly crabby mood about having to call Domino's (which I like less than Pizza Hut, which I in turn like less than a lot of pizza chains that don't exist here), I decided to fill out an online complaint form. Granted, it won't get me better service from Pizza Hut, but it does make me feel a little more satisfied.
