Our nearest Dominos is 20 miles away and they don't even deliver local to their own shop lol Pizza Hut is only a few miles away, they don't deliver at all either. No Papa Johns around here either... North Wales is rubbish for pizza! :chuckle

The clue is in the title of the thread.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Domino's pretty much give you double your order free, irrespective of whether you've got a voucher. I went in last Saturday - on a binge to boost my leptin levels - and came out with a free pizza of equal size to the one I'd ordered, and a free bottle of Coke to go with my garlic bread. The vouchers are only useful if you're ordering from home, and even then, if you go on the internet, you get all kinds of offers anyway.

dismissal for that? who's to say they didn't ebay one that was delivered to their house, or that had been scavenged from neighbours' recycling boxes?

The offers are a scam.
It's quite funny that someone is scamming the scam.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I remember many years back when “Wash n Go” shampoo came out and we had these little bottles stuck on a card. They were a pig to deliver and although we were given 2 weeks to clear there were plenty laying around in unopened boxes as the dreaded deadline approached. :d'oh!

Then one of our drivers (who was always looking in skips) came around with a sack and offered to take any not yet delivered. Well lets say he needed more than one sack. Even the guv was pleased to see the back of them :Very Happy

Anyway a couple of weeks later I was at a local car boot sale and bugger me he had a stall with all the stuff he got from skips and a big box of shampoo samples at 5p each or 12 for a £1. :shock:

He reconed over a month he sold the lot. :left:
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Wouldn't you be better off buying 12 for 60 pence or is he in the High Earners Bracket that he's trying to recoup his 40% tax lol
