Dominos Pizza: Get robbed, get fired

Published 1/19/06

Way to care about your employees. A Dominos Pizza driver here was robbed Sunday night while making a delivery. The next day, the company fired her (she had worked there six years) for — get this — making Dominos drivers look like a target.

The Fray


Leland says:

Okay, I’ll grant the employer’s right to fire for just about any reason other then the federal taboos. No matter how poor the judgment may seem on the surface, they can do that.

But keeping her last paycheck? In most states that will get Dominos a yellow flag and a ten yard penalty.

Andrew says:

Oh, no argument that Dominos has the right to fire her. But sheesh, it’s sure a nasty thing to do.

There is defenitely something missing in social legislation if this is possible. This has a third-world ring about it.

Zach says:

As far fetched as it seems I wonder how someone could even go about making Dominos drivers more of a target if they wanted too.

The amount of common sense in this story seems minimal.

In the grand scheme of things, Dominos did her a favor…driver for Dominos for 6 years…get a better job honey!!

What better job? As a member of the working class, pizza-delivery might be the best thing out there for her. Working at a desk or in a store probably wouldn’t give her enough “freedom.” Without school, a network, and a killer resume, she’ll never be anything better paid… now she’ll just have to get a job where she’s more limited and watched-over.

A better Job? I delivered pizzas for 4 years two and a half as my only job, the rest as a second. Towards the end I was making over $25 an hour, tell me a job that pays that good and requires no experience and no education. I knew a lot of people who supported their families with these jobs living in Orange County California, one of the most expensive places to live in the states
