Domino's MVP

Just when I thought I was getting the hang of making healthy life choices, my dark past has come back to rear its ugly head. Not moments ago, the buzzer to my apartment was rung. Seeing as how this building is too old to have an intercom system I had to hurry down stairs to the front door. When I got there I saw the postman putting today's mail into everyones boxes. He looked up at me and asked, "204?". I responded that I was the tenant at 204 and he hands me my mail saying, " I was able to get the netflix into your box but this wouldn't budge." I was hopeful that maybe it was an envelope from one of the seven other schools I applied to but it was not. No, instead of a letter of acceptance, it was a hard envelope addressed to Domino's Pizza MVP. I cannot tell you how much my heart sank when I read that. I got upstairs and opened it immediately. Inside the hard envelope was another envelope. The second envelope said that something this important required two envelopes. The suspense was killing me so I opened the second envelope and inside it was a letter thanking me for being such a valued customer, and for being such a loyal patron they gave me a free one topping pizza coupon. Now I am sure most of you read this and think wow that is so awesome I wish I received free Domino's coupons in the mail. Just think for the moment though on how much I probably had to spend to reach that level and how much pizza that means I have consumed. I had hoped that by trying to get back into shape I would have left that world behind but it looks like it isn't ready to give me up so easily.

joelsy you need to reexamine the way you are looking at this situation.

domino's mvp. not just anyone is that big of a champ.

i want to know how they tracked your ordering habits from madison all the way to minneapolis....does domino's have some sort of big brother element we're not aware of?

and if you do not want that free pizza, feel free to send it to me down here. pizza with tomato sauce would be a godsend.

I am a steady Domino's customer and at the store I use the people are wonderful (602-954-0340)Phoenix, AZ. I would like to ask you, however, to re-write your letter you send to MVP's to note that when you say you can have "two Chocolate Lava Crunch Cakes with any pizza purchase" is not exactly an accurate statement. You can have them if you are not using another certificate for your pizza. I do not find this in your letter or on the card enclosed with a picture of the cakes. This would help your people from having to continually explain this and it would stop the customers from being frustrated. Again, I reiterate, the people I deal with are great- the manager whose name excapes me (must be my age - (grin) are well versed in customer service. Whomever is reading this I hope you have a day filled with smiles and happy thoughts! Thanks for listening.
