At first it sent me 'round the bend with all the codes and scripts I had to learn - not to mention the heat of the place and complaints!! However, as time has gone on, I've made heaps of great friends and even had alot of fun! I wouldn't trade in anything for my job at Domino's, it's one of the best things I've ever stumbled on.
`The DoughBoy`
Working at Domino's has also provided me with a great source of ..males - 
one in particular, the DoughBoy!! Yup, Ben the Doughboy. There was always a joke about Rachel & The Doughboy..but it was all a joke, right? Then, one day, something just happened! We were 'together' since, however, like all good things, Ben and I came to an end after almost six months not so long ago. What can I say? It wasn't a bitter ending, just a final one. As I've tried to explain, I'm a bitch by nature, so may God have mercy! Ben's a good bloke though, he hadn't done anything wrong.. it just got to complicated.
*..Amy..*
It took awhile but I finally convinced my boss to hire my school friend, Amy. At first things were a tad stressful for me having her there, and watching her make mistakes! 
However, it's been a few months now and I can honestly say she's caught on quicker than most, quicker than me atleast! I'm the first to admit it bugs me that she's being trained on make-line, dough-bench, and cut-bench quicker than I ever was but I suppose, the quicker she learns it all, the less work I've got to do!! She makes work alot of fun, almost always with a massive grin covering her face and it's nice to know she's there when I'm feeling down. One thing that just has to be mentioned is Amys origional fone tactic; She has conversations with herself while taking the order! For example: 'Would you like any garlic.. hahahahahahha oh gosh hahahah.. this mans just walked in and hahahaha.. bread or coke with that?' Aghhhhhhhhhhh! But I have faith in my Amslei, always have and always will, she'll be a Dominite one of these days. (Poor Thing)
Xx Chris xX
Who, what, how, where, when, why, what the heck? Chris, driver, friendly, funny, flirtatious, kind, 18.. almost 19, Chris. What more can I say without giving away too many secrets? Chris is a good mate to have, a friendly guy with a groovy badgirl car. He cops alot of shit off Amslei, but I sure he knows she's only stirring. It's her nature. Chris is the store ...well, I was going to say spunk but I've recently found out there's more to that nickname than what meets the eye, so I'll just call him a hottie. I don't know many chics who haven't had a crush of some sort, form or size on Christopher, and who can blame them? He's just... one of those people. Annoyingly likeable!
..boobless..
On my very first day of Domino's, I was petrified, confused and completly lost but oddly enough it was the word 'boobless' that made me feel I was eventually going to like the place. My first fone call appeared amusing to the staff working that afternoon, Lyndall, Peter and Chris. While I was trying to figure out the price of two large pizzas, Chris decided to type 
boobless into the calculator. He made me laugh, and I'll be forever greatful.
Thin & CrustY!?!
Customer Realtions Lesson # 1:
Running A Shift..
Of all the people in the world I would most likely rank at the bottom of reliability in running 
a shift.. but you'll never ever believe who ran from 11.30am - 4.00pm by herself last Saturday - me! I admit, the responsibility was taken off me ..slightly considering the fact one of the bosses read the paper out the back most of the day, but never the less I did all the hard stuff by myself!! It was awesome fun, and I've finally decided what I wanna do with myself after Highschool... I'd like to be a manager.
Too Hot!
Once upon a time, in a far off land, a family decided they wanted free pizzas!
This is a common tale, correct? To do this, the following technique should be used;
'My pizza was ;late;cold;missing this & that; not cut......' etc etc!
However, when someone rings up and complains their Pizza was 'Too hot' it makes you wonder what is wrong with them? How should we reply to someone with such a problem? 'I'm sorry Miss-next time we won't cook it and you can complain about that!' The lady would then continue to complain her garlic bread was too cold...Do I see a pattern developing here?!
Rocks
Another common tale contains a pizza, a person, and a forgein substance! ...another topping maybe?
Perhaps a hair..but..rocks??!!! I only wish I'd been working the night this happened! Considering the amount of people complaining simply for the sake of complaining, all fast-food companies are left with no choice but to see the Food (Pizza in our case) before replacing it. The Result? 'Escuse me Miss, but, why are the rocks cold when the rest of the Pizza seems to be hot..and..is that dirt I see on your floor?' I truly can not wait until I have the pleasure of serving such a customer!!
.Vegan.
Before I begin my narrow-minded complaint about Vegans I'd like to explain that my personal opinion on vegans is not intended for people to go complaining to Domino's about. Right? With that in mind, I'll continue.
A lady came into the store not long ago and asked what was in our sauce? ...the sauce. I presumed it was similar to whatever was in tomato sauce? The lady pondered over that for a second before asking the toppings of a vegitarian pizza. Typical vegitarian, I thought, bet she wants it thin n' crispy, too! The next part of her interigation into our product had me bamboozled. The lady had produced a bag of white cheese, apparently goat cheese, on the counter and asked weather I could replace our cheese with hers? Around ten minutes later the final masterpeice appeared out of the oven, a thin n' crispy vegetarian pizza with olives, anchovies, pinnaple and no sauce. *Yum*
