Earlier this week, we brought you a story of a minimum wage-related lawsuit. Then we brought you a story about Domino's Pizza. Because time is a flat circle, now we have a story about Domino's as the target of a minimum wage-related lawsuit. These are some rough accusations, too. A former Domino's employee in New York State named Riad Kucher alleges Domino's committed
Domino's lost me over 20 years ago when their CEO (or whatever) said he thought it would be exciting to try to live on minimal food dollars, perhaps even buying calf formula instead of milk.
It's not wage-theft if you're giving them the money in the next pay period. As these things go, having to wait a week for your overtime cash isn't all that bad. Back in the 80s, I had a shiftwork job where we were paid monthly, so it could take nearly that long for our wages to catch up.
It's not really that much of an effort to treat your team like human beings. Yes, I am the boss, and yes, if we talk about something and I decide to do things differently than you want, once the decision is made, I expect you to go along with it.
That doesn't mean I have to be an asshole about it.
If people want to work hard for you because they don't want to disappoint you versus being afraid of you, guess what? They'll be happier, they'll treat customers better, and everyone wins.
That's illegal and it's unethical. And companies run like that piss me off. I'm running a business the right way. Sons of bitches doing it unethically and illegally get a cost advantage on me, which makes it harder for me to compete.
Despite being a human male, I don't like being called "dude", jerkwad - and if you thought I was being serious in my comment, you don't deserve to be reading Wonkette.
Snopes is specifically rating this claim (emphasis added): "Domino's Pizza ended its "30 minutes or it's free" guarantee because a speeding delivery driver hit and killed a child."
Which IS false, there wasn't a case where a child was hit and/or killed that lead to Domino's ending the guarantee. There were adults injured and killed, but not a child.
In addition to this outrage, the founder of the Domino's chain has been leading the war on women for decades. Tom Monaghan amassed a fortune due to the success of his lame-ass pizza chain. So much money that even after splashing money around on a lavish lifestyle he was able to buy the Detroit Tigers. Yes, his own baseball team. He has since sold the Tigers and now he's been shoveling truckloads of cash to the Catholic Church. It wasn't enough that he funded anti-choice organizations since the 1970s.
He has now funded the gigantic Ave Maria Foundation. Among its many creations is the Ave Maria Law School, specifically training lawyers to "educate competent 'moral' attorneys who will influence all aspects of the legal profession and advance 'natural law' theory." Whatever the fuck is "natural" about forcing women to bear their rapists' children, among other things. Monaghan enlisted such great legal minds as Robert Bork and Antonin Scalia to develop the curriculum. Clarence Thomas delivered the first of what would become the Ave Maria Lecture Series. Even if you can stand the taste of that pizza, the history behind it oughta choke anyone who's not a idiot.
Froggy went a' Goggle'in and he did find. uh huh.

Eating Dominos pizza is like eating cardboard with ketchup and a sprinkling of saw dust.
"PS, please stop exporting your business practises to the UK."And Australia, where all our One-Percenters are trying to legalise that sort of shit.

I'm so glad Irish labor laws are so well worded.
Yes, but then how do you know that your penis is big enough? How do you know????????
Dude, even if there's a guy named Luigi ot Giuseppe in the business, your pizza is being made by Jose and Miguel

OK, you got me there. But that's not much of a distinction IMO. They could have gone with "mostly false."

I can never decide if that predestination shit is the biggest ever perversion of Christianity or its most pure expression.
