Don't let these morons win. I say everyone should go order Dominos and turn this into a positive for the company.

Who are the morons? The ones who were unsupervised and hired even though they were obviously too immature to be responsible? Don't reward Dominos for this mismanagement. Punishment? I think there will be enough people that can't stomach the idea of eating their products now that they've seen this that its punishment enough.

Nasty. From friends who have worked brief stints there, this is a relatively uncommon occurrence at Dominos.

Relatively uncommon? Ooh, that's comforting. I feel so much better now that you've told me that only some orders are contaminated. Hmph!

The biggest problem with most fast food places, and often many other restaurants, is a lack of adult supervision. It's cheaper to let the kiddies work without paying a real adult to manage them. There's nobody there to put a stop to the shenanigans.

Very amusing watching this right wing goof trying to look contrite.

Apparently if you eat fattening cardboard pizza made by underpaid, exploited workers, your odds seem to get worse all the time.

You can hardly call those idiots underpaid and exploited. They are too ignorant to qualify.

What makes him Right-Wing, exactly? That he holds a job? You should try one, it is much better than your food stamps (which you can't use at Domino's, sadly).

Politics has nothing to do with this issue, you pinhead. These two idiots were contaminating food, which may or may not have gotten served to the public. I hope the judge throws the book at them, to serve as an example to any other Beavis & Butt-head wanna-be's.

I can't say Doyle is right-wing. But Domino's founder Tom Monaghan sure is -- a fringe-movement Catholic extremist who has used his Domino's income to offer big funding to anti-choice organizations. Buy a Domino's pizza -- put a firebomb in a women's-clinic bomber's hands.

Whenever you eat out, may you always receive the same service you provided.

This happens everywhere not just at Dominoes, get real and face facts. Humans will always be spitting in peoples food as long as they have to work under crap management and rude customers, or they are just bored individuals. Lets learn to cook, me included!

No. Nobody is forcing these clowns to work. if they don't think the work should be done well, they can go haul garbage or something where they can be as disgusting as they want without endangering peoples' health and threatening the jobs of everybody else who thinks their fiduciary duties matter and do their jobs well.

A job ain't welfare.

"We sincerely apologize"

Apparently he didn't get the memo that making it obvious that your reading off a teleprompter is not sincere.

Change their hiring practices? Does that include not hiring registered sex offenders to make our pizzas. How many sex offenders work for Dominos anyways Patrick? According to the Smokinggun she molested a 14 year old girl for 4 months. Check them out for the actual scanned court documents.
Now I used to love Domino's pizza but hiring people like this woman who sexually assaulted a child for 4 months,had to register as a sex offender. Well I could overlook that these were just uneducated morons. But what pisses me off is you hired them and one of them is a registered sex offender. Not get drunk, sleep with jailbait type, regret for the rest of your life type sex offender. She abuses a 14 yr old girl for 4 months. AND YOU HIRE HER TO MAKE US OUR PIZZAS???

You've got to do ALOT more than say you are reforming your hiring practices. How about getting rid of sex offenders like Myspace did and telling us straight out that you are. And other miscreants. We need to know those who make our food are not criminals. Especially, especially sex offenders. She abused a child, why couldnt Domino's connect the dot that she may abuse our food as well. Obviously she cant be trusted to do anything. In islam, they'd behead this woman or stone her. This is one case for Sharia law

Scripted or not, it was important for management to respond. Would have been better to speak off the cuff, giving the message a more sincere/authentic feel, but kudos to Dominoes for communicating via the same social channel its wayward employees used.
