Dominos Pizza - withholding customer money


AnnaSimmonds

Recommended Posts

At the outset, I write this realising we are talking about takeaway pizza during a global pandemic....


But I wanted to warn other East Dulwich customers about the experience I have had with Dominos Pizza Dog Kennel Hill so that it might help inform you which pizza place to pick should you be in the market for a takeaway any time soon!


Dominos failed to deliver my order a month ago, they couldn?t explain why it never got to me, but agreed to send me a refund. I was told this would take 3-5 days and thought nothing more of it. The refund never got to me and since then it has gone from the ridiculous to the absurd. Every time I have chased it up since, I have been consistently lied to and fobbed off by the Store Manager. When I call, they laugh down the phone, give fake email addresses for the Area Manager/Directors etc. Told me they can?t give me customer services or area managers contact details for data protection reasons.


I have never experienced anything like it from a company. It was a ?30 order but the bewildering lack of integrity and customer service on display will hopefully make others think twice about where they choose to spend their money.

Dominic Paul was appointed CEO earlier this year. This is his LinkedIn page: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/dominic-paul


There should be a way to contact him directly through LinkedIn! Otherwise there are links to other managers via same page (down side).

Thank you! That?s really useful, I?ll try him on LinkedIn.


I did actually copy him in to my emails with the franchise but no reply...


I think I will try him on LinkedIn directly though as you suggest as I was just so shocked to be laughed at. It?s not about money so much as the ethics. I?m being laughed at about them not sending me a refund for a service they never delivered.


I obviously have better things to do with my time than chase up ?30 but hard to let a business get away with such contempt for their customers.

Also The Guardian Consumer Champions might be able to shame them into action if there's a potential complaint printed in the paper:


'We welcome letters but cannot answer individually. Email us at [email protected]. Please include a daytime phone number. Submission and publication of all letters is subject to our terms and conditions.'

Thank you so much for your reply and suggestion. I have been in contact with their central customer care but they seem to pass enquiries immediately over to the franchise to deal with rather than have a central department which isn?t very helpful if you then want to complain about the franchise itself. The customer service person for the franchise did initially reply to say they were sorry and would refund me immediately but then didn?t do it; and is now ignoring me...


All very odd.


I?ve never had an experience like it. Despite it costing ?30 to issue a small claim, I?m minded to do so just out of principle.

I posted a letter with ?70.00 in and paid for track & trace. It hasn't arrived and this is all I get:

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
