Never worked there but I did order ‘The big one’; A promo pizza that was a meter in diameter! We had to order on a seperate website and order days in advanced at a specific time. I get to domino’s on the fabeled day and ask for my big pizza. They replied in quiet awe “you’re the one”, like I was the messiah. Every worker somehow heard this softly spoken man and ceased operation just to come to the counter. Four of them went into the back and march out the meter wide pizza box bursting in excitement. Putting the pizza on the countertop they politely asked. “Could we take a photo” I said sure and they took a photo of me and the pizza and then all of the domino’s workers came out to take a group photo. They said I was the first ‘big one’ This historical moment was almost ruined by the fact I couldn’t get the pizza through the door of the domino’s. The workers then took the pizza off me to ferry it though the door. Where I preceded to walk home, through inner west Sydney, with massive pizza. I’ll never eat their again, but we’ll never forget ‘the big one’.
My fiancé worked at domino’s when she was a teen, she said once when she was cleaning an oven there she found a crispy dove that had somehow gotten into the oven and was being cooked with the pizzas all of that day. Safe to say, I never had any Domino’s from that specific place again
man quit being picky, should have asked for it as a side XD in all seriousness though that sounds NASTY. How does a damn dove get into a pizza oven anyways? thats a south park sketch IRL
My friend was working at a McDonalds here in Adelaide when a man went through the drive thru, ordered, but had his head out the window as he hit the accelerator and snapped his neck between the restaurant wall and his car... He did not survive. Apparently the restaurant continued operating as normal in store while this dude was sitting limp in his car blocking the drive thru while they waited for an ambulance to arrive.
At my McDonalds (before I worked there), there was some guy who was slightly more top heavy handing change back but the wind blew it out of his hand and he tried to grab it but ended up tumbling right out of the window. He was fine though, just embarrassed.
okay so i worked adjacent to Dominos here in the USA. my boss was an ex-Dominos simp who started off at 13 years old sticking flyers under windshield wipers for free slices, and festered into one of those managers that travels from store to store to tell them how they suck. he finally quit to open his own pizza shop, and admittedly had a good pizza recipe going. But he overloaded the menu, especially for the tiny kitchen we operated out of. pizzas, subs, pastas, deli, fried stuff, burgers, salads, steak tips...way too much. The building itself was also disgusting, with previous owners putting down layer after layer of linoleum to cover up holes, until there were holes that poked through to the basement. There was actual garbage mushrooms that would grow near the dishwashing station, and we had to just dump bleach on them. it culminated in the Health Inspector telling the owner he had to fix his floor asap. Owner made up a lie about some contractor and got all of us to come in and help tear up the floor, but then halfassed the whole process of putting down the new flooring to try and rush it along. never used spacers for new tile, and never put down any grout, so instead bits of mushed up food that fell between the tiles and got stamped down became the new 'grout'. the shop closed during covid, but not before myself and other ex-coworkers foiled the owners' plan to just lock the shop up for good without telling his remaining staff or paying them. Fuck you, Josh.
Jordies. 2 words. Liquor stores. I've been working at Liquorland for 4 months and I have more crazy stories already than people at regular jobs have in a lifetime.
@@stefanavic6630 Sure did. I recently stayed at a hotel in darwin city that was right next to a bottle shop. Was talking to the security guard there and he said the abo's are constantly trying to steal alcohol. He also said he Recently broke ones arm haha. He said once they start getting violent with the staff he loves giving them a belting.
Do liquor stores in Australia also sell scratch tickets? I know my local store in the states I have seen multiple guys buy a handle and some scratchers and then drink and scratch them on the dumpster out back and going back into the store multiple times depending how much they won.
Former mate used to work for Dominoes, used the delivery runs to go out and deliver weed while he was out and rip bongs in his car, and help himself to the 1.25L drinks. Problem is, they'd already brought in GPS tracking by this time and wanted to know why he was driving to other suburbs and pulling over by parks for 30+ mins at a time. He got the sack pretty quickly 😂
My Dad owned a bakery in the 70's and hired an apprentice. One morning while making pastry, Dad caught the apprentice throwing dough at a cockroach running up the wall. The dough fell on the bench, the apprentice removed the cockroach and continued to use the pastry. Next morning there was a sign in the window "Apprentice Pastry Chef Wanted". The End 👍🏽
Fast food adjacent, I used to work for DON (they put the bacon in our burgers and the kabana in our delis among other things) and the amount of violations I witnessed over my two years of working there will stick with me for the rest of my life. So much machinery left un-sanitised, so many hundreds of kilos of meat dropped on the production floor and tossed back on to the supply belt (keep in mind the floor was always damp and had contaminants like dirt, loose screws, plastics, motor oil, cracked concrete, and all sorts of meaty liquids and allergen powders), so much mixed-meat contact that went unregulated. People threw meat at eachother almost daily, with the sole purpose of soiling someone else's uniform, or equipment, or coating their protective eyewear to blind them. There were days of flooded ceilings leaking onto the equipment and employees. People died at work while I was there, and many people were at constant risk of death or injury because of poor training or low awareness of things like heavy machinery or vehicles crossing paths with foot traffic. Even over my time there had I recieved burns, cuts, strains, abrasions and at one point impalement. I worked in and around the department responsible for making brine to be injected into their meat and at any moment someone could have spat into the mixing vat's hopper and subsequently given half of Australia herpes or something because there were no cameras watching the process. Mixing and injecting recipes were failed constantly and numbers were fudged on paperwork to pretend like everything was up to order. Never a boring day at DON, loved working there.
Do sizzlers next... I dare you... sizzlers St George.. 1. orgy in the freezer. 2. Staff pissing in the steak tray. 3. staff eating off customers plates before they have been takening it out back. 4. Housos stealing waxed fruit thinking it's fresh and the throwing it down the stairsm 5. Staff putting to returned steaks on the floor and then re grilling it... then giving it back to the staff. 6. Cheese toast Mafia. Out of 20 boxes that got delivered every friday. Manager always take 2 boxes home thennd everyone on the morning shift took a box... that why they were cheap on cheese toast.. 7. The closing Staff do Es and then drink straight coke syrup before hitting peakies hotel night club.(funtimes) 8. None of the cooks ever washed their handed after going to the loo.
I worked at a dominoes for 3 months (TX, US) and had someone come in and almost shock my manager with a Tazer when he wouldn't give her a free pizza. He stone cold just stared her down while he picked up the phone and calmly dialed the police. He was a legend
I worked at Dominos for year, here is what I can remember on the spot. The ground beef is 41% "Meat", the rest is soy. It was routine practice to re-label food with the sticker gun as it was passing out of date. Dough and meat products alike was left out at room temp for hours at a time if it was too busy to put it into cold storage. The air vent in the walk in fridge was spray painted black every once in a while to cover up the mould and crap growing on it rather than cleaning/replacing it. As pizza was made the toppings that didn't make it onto the pizza ended up in catchment trays. It wasn't uncommon to 'reclaim' lost toppings at the end of the night and put them back into circulation having sat in the temperature danger zone for up to hours. There was little to no consideration for dietary or allergy issues with consecutive Pizzas being made with the same set of gloves and the cutter only being washed at the end of the night. Pizza & garlic bread would sit in the post-cook heater for hours only to be served to customers. I'm sure more will come to mind, not to mention the militant and often abusive middle management. Edit: I have remembered Anchovy Roulette where one lucky cheesy crust pizza had a cheeky anchovy hidden in the crust for one unfortunate customer.
Had the Waurn Ponds Domino's manager tell me, after FOUR INCORRECT PIZZAS IN A ROW, that her staff found REMOVING CHEESE FROM A PIZZA, TOO DIFFICULT TO REMEMBER.
I worked as a driver at Dominos, plenty of stories. Delivered a pizza and as I was walking back to the car, bogan comes out screaming "GET AWAY FROM MY CAR" kept saying it was mine, he starts threatening violence only for the daughter I delivered the pizza to yelling from the front door "DON'T DO IT DAD, YOU'LL GO BACK TO JAIL". We also had the lid come off the chilli flakes while making an el scorcho, entire container went on the pizza, cooked it anyway and the staff ate it as a challenge, 2 threw up and I had so many tears in my eyes I could barely see the road on the next delivery.
Here's a story about Andy and Ron. Andy was a bright-eyed, enthusiastic P-plater, who was deeply religious. Ron was a jaded 40something burnout who's default attitude towards everything was disdain. Also the best driver we had. One time Andy's helping out with prep, chattin' shit as you do, and he drops the line, "Man, I can't wait until I get married, 'cause I'm gonna have so much sex." I'm like, "What? Married people don't have sex." He's like, "'Course they do, why else would you get married?". At this point, Ron came back from delivery, so I shouted out to him, "Hey Ron, you're married right? When was the last time you got laid?" His deadpan reply, "Well, I've got a kid, but I'm buggered if I know how that happened." Andy shrieked, blocked his ears, and ran.
One time when I was working at Dominos last year I was restocking the drinks fridge and I put a box of like 12 1.5L bottles on the floor and the manager told me "bro at dominos we dont put our product on the floor!!". A few weeks later it was so busy that we ran out of space for pizzas so the same manager was putting the pizzas still in the pan onto the floor until there was space enough space...
10 years at Dominos, 4 as a store manager. The internal food safety processes and inspections (OER) are super strict, however there are some very dodgy franchisees and managers. The amount of customers that would abuse a 14yo over a $5 pizza was insane and definitely had a few colleagues and staff members robbed over my time in Townsville and Brisbane, unfortunately.
I once worked at Hungry Jacks as the overnight cleaner guy, but also a line worker. Had a couple of backpackers walk up to the serving window in the middle of the night once asking for a feed. We told them that you have to be in a car to use the drive through, so they proceeded to moon us against the front glass door. The guy then came back and apologised, and asked again if we’ll serve him. We didn’t
FriendlyJordies came into my dominos a few weeks ago (I won't say which one cuz hes got people tryna find him and I'm guessing that he lives in that area now), super nice bloke! He was on the phone with someone but still was nice enough to acknowledge me and take a pic together. Jordan if you ever read this I just want to say thanks for the great content and just being a nice and respectful customer... we don't usually get those at dominos 😅
I'm 99% sure I know which dominos it is because the other day he held a door open for me at a servo. I thought it was him, but didn't wanna bother him and interrupt whatever he was there for.
I saw Friendlyjordies at a Woolies in [redacted] a few weeks back. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Mars Bars in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
The "mystery supreme" Is something my old work college would make for his staff meal on a daily, this involved scraping any leftover food from the bench onto a base and cooking it. (yes this would include any seafood, meats and vegetables in the mix) I tried one and I was amazed at how it tasted. I do not miss my university days.
I drunkenly accepted an offer from a lad to "go back to his place" when I was out clubbing in my later teens some 20 odd years ago. After stumbling down the high street and into a car park then through a heavy locked door and down dimly lit hallways into a darkened room where he immediately started undressing me, I started to wonder where he had taken me, but it wasn't long before the headlights of passing traffic illuminated enough of the room for me to realise I was being shagged on the prep table in my local Dominos.
@@douglassmithe9799 They're probably British dude. Then again, I suppose it's tradition at this point for the highest regarded "Australians" to actually be British people who just hang out down under sometimes.
I worked at hungry jacks in Frankston in a teenager. Over the time I worked there I saw many disgusting things. The worst one by far was on an overnight shift, I was about 15 minutes away from clocking off when I heard a horrifying scream coming from the kitchen. I went back there to check what all the commotion was and found a man (who was clearly on meth) lying on the floor, screaming. I quickly learned the reason he was screaming on the floor was because he had stuck his hand directly in the fryer to try and get a handful of chips out. Not really a master criminal. It took us a couple of hours to clean all the bits of skin off the floor and fryer. It was put back in to use the next morning .
I worked at a Dominos for 5 years. For a bit we had a roving gang that would hang about in the area--often outside the shop. They were wanted by the police, and once hung about at closing time, around 2am. Police were called, and they scattered. They then returned and beat the mall cleaner near to death with a skateboard. Basically from then on we had to call the police whenever they were hanging outside because even the police were sure they were trying to rob us. Our store was actually fairly clean and well run, but we did suffer from the same thing most stores do--driver pay abuse. On public holidays, drivers don't get paid doubletime like instores do. Instead they get double the delivery fee, $2. Usually you get 2-4 deliveries an hour, so really not worth it. But what most Managers do is roster all the drivers who can also work on the makeline and instore, put them on the roster as drivers, and then not pay them holiday rates. Its pretty scummy, but according to our manager "everyone does it". As I had been there while I could do everything, but refused to work public holidays for that reason. I ran the store most days of the week, and while only a casual, I got paid more for my experience. I sent an anonymous email to corporate to ask how the system is supposed to work, and they replied that unless drivers do a minimum 2 deliveries an hour, they can't be paid as drivers. I took the email and info to the manager and store owner, and they stopped doing it. The owner did also cut my pay back to the base amount for my effort. At least the other drivers stopped getting ripped off for a bit.
Former Eagle Boys worker here. We ran the store in Nowra, the head manager, a 50 yr old woman, went for a holiday and the day she left the fella put in charge busted down the rear door and offered nangs to us plebs on day shift RIP Eagle Boys Pizza
my mum has worked as a nurse for a while, her ward is perpetually under staffed and has too many patients, and the amount of time she has come home and smelled like a cocktail of various bodily fluids is enormous.
Yeah my mom also came home late smelling like cocktails and bodily fluids. Sometimes dressed as a nurse, even though I know for a fact she never went to medical school...
i have worked at an aged care home for the last 6 years, unfortunatley nruses arent being paid enough to get the staff needed and kept in the job this is an australia wide issue, and its heartbreaking too see our nurses so overworked.
@@DiahRhiaJones you mean the hell hole dominos franchises that support businesses like the one you are talking about? Not every dominos gets their ingredients from the same places.
Already took on the media, top politicians, organized crime, the special forces and won. There's no one left to fight. Fast food is the obvious next villain.
Coles/Woolworths/IGA stories, I'm sure most of us worked their first job in a local supermarket, I know I did. I also got stories from working in manufacturing and warehousing, pest control, and Australia Post.
I once hydroplaned and crashed while delivering pizza for Dominos. Some bloke walked past, looked over my wrecked car, said "Pizza is going to be late" and kept walking. I still think about him 9 years later. *Edit* Oh shi-, totally forgot about a better story. When I was a teen, I worked in store for Dominos as a dough boy. One night, I complained about a pain in my groin. Manager wouldn't let me off even though I couldn't stand and made me finish my shift. Turns out I'd ruptured something and ended the night in hospital. She ended up firing me for missing my next shift, even though I was still in hospital. When I went back years later as a driver, found out she now works at a petrol station.
I remember a wendys near me was without hot water for a full month. The employees were told to just wash everything with cold water and at no point was there an attempt to get hot water or heat up water in order to satisfy health and safety standards.
Dominos hirers in America refuse to tell potential delivery drivers that some insurers require them to upgrade their car insurance plan to a more expensive “commercial insurance coverage” plan in order to legally deliver Dominos pizza. Dominos also doesn’t have any insurance coverage for their drivers. This means that thousands of Dominos drivers are currently driving technically without insurance, and they’re one accident away from having their bank account ruined! :)
My husband was a dominoes driver. He new about needing better insurance but didn’t get it. That’s why when his car was hit in the dominos parking lot he didn’t pursue having it fixed by the other person cause he don’t want his insurance to find out. So he drove around with a busted car instead
true for canada too. someone i worked with was an insider then became a driver for a few months till his insurance broker saw him with the sign on his car and told him he’d have to upgrade his insurance or stop
I was a Domino’s delivery driver in uni. I had to go home from a shift when the searing hot prawn juices from a garlic prawn pizza leaked out of the pizza box and down my arm. Another night the brakes gave out on my shitbox Daihatsu applause, the manager told me to just go slow and use the handbrake.
this reminds me of when my franchisee accidentally wacked me right in the forehead with a cheesy bread straight out of the oven, I just had to put burn cream on it and sit out the back for ten minutes tho, then had to go back to serving customers with a bandaid on my forehead
Nursing student. As a student, you get taught how to do procedures properly, and then see how they are actually done. Needless to say, if you aren't there to witness it, it probably wasn't done right.
Once when i worked at maccas, someone found some fly eggs in the meat. But the worst part was the manager on duty thought they were lying and didn’t tell the kitchen at all, so they still used the old musty patties on more burgers.
Worked in my own family business for years - it was a cafe. Had a guy who used to come in pretty regularly. He thought he could see “faces” in “light” and actually took photos of “light rays” as he called them. I entertained him as I didn’t want to be rude. Told him that if he’s convinced that he’s onto something (he definitely wasn’t), that he should reach out to some prominent academics. He said he did, he emailed dozens. He told me that absolutely none of them responded to him 😂
I worked at a Dominos. Was helping for start shift while the manager, assistant manager, business manager and franchisee were there. Some work had already been done, the floor was wet after being pressure washed and cleaned or something like that. When I noticed soapy suds in some of the pizza pans stacked away not being used yet, I pointed out to the manager in front of everyone, and asked if floor cleaner had accidentally been spilled onto the pans. (Not a big deal, we could have just washed them and definitely cleared them of chemicals) The manager raised his voice very loudly to talk over me, proclaiming "NO. No... Definitely not..." He then turned back to what he was doing at the counter while everyone looked on awkwardly. I'm pretty sure I was right. Nothing was done to wash the pans, or if they did they did it without anyone seeing.
i recently quit after 7 years of shit and the best story i have is a manager selling fentanyl to a coworker, that coworker od'ing on the floor, and the manager just runs out. best representation of working in fast food.
Been working as a delivery driver for 5 months. On my second night a tradie and his kid threatened to bash the other new driver because he ate some of their food. When my manager took the driver to the back and asked what happened he told her “it didn’t say in the contract that I couldn’t eat the food” … the tradie left screaming if he ever saw the driver working at dominos again he would smash up the company car with a bat. The driver is now a shift runner (manager)
Well if the delivery guy is at risk of getting robbed which seems to be quite possible, based on comments here.. let them eat...but maybe not a customers order..
I've got a few Maccas stories for ya. Worked there for little over five years as a teenager. We found a rat baked into a burger bun. Manager disposed of that packet of buns but not the entire stock from that shipment, as is required. A manager dropped a load of uncooked fries on the floor and scooped them up back into the fries hopper. A co-worker was made to scrub out a dumpster and ended up with black mold in his lungs and contracted mucormycosis. At, like, 2am, some guys came in with machetes and smashed up the McCafe display cabinets in the front of the store and threatened staff before leaving. When the manager called the store manager to report it, they were told to not close the store and to keep serving customers...
Let me guess. The Machete wielding guy's didn't happen to be a certain shade that would make them hard to spot if they fell into Willy Wonka's chocolate river?
"We're taking heavy casualties, sir! Request to fall back and regroup!" "God damn it soldier, I want that hill, and by god you are going to take it! That's an order!"
I am no aussie, but I worked far too long in food service. Let me share a tale from my time in Tim Horton's in Ottawa, ON. So this particular Tim's was a very small location located inside of an office building. It was so small, they had a lower floor to store items, and a dumb waiter to move said items upstairs. This included all the fresh veggies and frozen items, as the fridge and freezer were downstairs. Also, due to the limited room, trash that was cleared from the lobby and prep areas were likewise sent down to the basement floor and stored until when it could be put on the street for collection as we didn't even have a dumpster. This is going exactly where you think it's going. So one thing any coffee shop worker can attest to is that garbage bags often fill with leftover liquid from discarded cups. You wind up with very sodden sacks of garbage that, also, rupture easily and leak what essentially amounts to garbage filtered leftover coffee water. Now, when clearing the garbage out, each time you were meant to sanitize the dumb waiter. Meant to. However, on multiple occasions, there would be literal pools of filthy brown sludge water sitting below a milk carton containing lettuce, tomatoes, and other such "ready to use" materials for the sandwich station. So if ever you got a very caffeinated-tasting sandwich from the Bank Street Tim's on Ottawa... it's likely it had that extra taint of garbage coffee water added. Yum yum.
Must be a scale thing, in the UK Domino's the worst thing I saw in 4 years was someone picking up a dropped chicken kicker to make sure there were 7, it was the last 7 we had. It was done to avoid the inevitable 'my chicken kickers was one short!' complaint from a customer.
i worked at hungry jacks for almost exactly a year. everyone was great and friendly (including the manager surprisingly, he was great), but they had way too many people, not enough shifts and i swear i was the only one changing my gloves with any sort of frequency after touching raw meat then preparing stuff like burgers. didnt see any rats, dont have any stories about picking stuff off the floor and giving them to customers but i do have stories about how i nearly gave myself very severe burns while working on the fryer and sliding around on the extremely greasy floor. im very surprised i didnt slip and crack the back of my head open on the really sharp corners of those benches.
I don't understand why they don't just install floors with jagged edges for grip, or basically anything they use in cargo ship kitchens, or metal grating or something. It's not like it's an unsolved engineering problem, and it's gonna cost less than paying the fines from lawsuits and breaking labor laws (well, in some countries at least).
I used to work as an electronics technician. The mouse story does not surprise me at all. You'd be surprised the number of times I would open up a TV or microwave oven to find a dead mouse having been electrocuted causing the fault. One time, I opened up a microwave oven and found 2 mice. One looked like it had licked the transformer (very dangerous, don't play with one unless you really know what you are doing) and the other looked like it was pulling on the first ones tail. The joke quickly spread throughout the workshop that the first one licked the transformer while the second one tried to save it. Anyway, do Hungry Jacks next. I could add a story or two from that place.
At 4pm every day we were meant to check the temperature of all the ingredients and if they weren't within a specific range we were supposed to throw them out and get new ones out - instead of doing that we were told to just say it was within the range and ignore it. We'd constantly cut corners because we'd only get paid till like midnight for close shifts but be forced to stay till about 1-2am cleaning
All these things make my time working as a bakery assistant in NZ look utterly tame O_O Worst things about it was the butter burn I got on my arm from a tray of garlic butter bread twists, the time I sliced my finger pretty badly (no blood in the food though) and the utter horror that was the bakery floor at the end of the shift. Oh and lollie cake is made from the leftover ends of slices that sit in a box in the fridge until it's time to make it and combined with a dark brown sugar syrup.
The most scandalous thing I did at a pizza place (Not domino's) was occasionally, we'd "comp extra cheese" to particularly rude customers. We'd just withhold half of the regular cheese measurement until after applying all other toppings. It's funny because it actually tastes like there's extra cheese.
One time when I was taking someone's order and gave them their food (they only waited 45 mins) and then they opened it, looked into my eyes, and then threw the pizza on the floor and demanded we remade it because it was "too ugly, looked like sh*t", it wasnt even incorrectly made
I had a friend who worked at Subway a few years ago and while on his shift one of the roof panels came off and a bunch of sewer rats fell through the roof while he was making food all the customers left in disgust
dominos is a special nightmare. i have been in the pizza business for too long, and i've heard some things about other companies. i always made sure my stores were clean and safe though. i almost always made myself the exact same food i was making customers. and we never had anyone do anything gross except for using onions and mushrooms one day too late. even then, that won't make you sick they just have a gross texture when raw and don't look that great. we did get a bad lot of diced pepperonis once that we had to recall. literally everyone who ate it got violently sick. that was one time in 20 years though. i think the main thing is we didn't have a lobby and we didn't do deliveries. removing those two headaches makes your employees way less likely to mess with the food and cut corners. if a pizza place is super, super busy and they have a lobby plus drivers going in and out, i'm going somewhere else.
Was a dominos worker as the worst that ever happened at my store in NZ was some highschoolers who didn't clean containers properly that we'd use for food prep, meaning we had to clean them again. It's crazy to me the shit that's in this video and I'd quit so fast. I ate pizza almost every single shift since closers got one for free, and I still order dominos when the situation for cheap shit food arises
@@facepalm7345 NZ seems to generally be less busy (as a current dominos Aus employee I can look at the storewars info) and as such may have much higher health and safety standards. my dominos is disgusting though.
i have a mate that was supervisor at a brodies in QLD, one day the chooks were delivered, proceeded to be seasoned and put in the ovens, turns out none of the chooks were gutted ....the manager told him to still sell the chooks... pretty fucked lol, that same manager emptied the whole deep fryer fat into the sewer drain in the drive thru, it was blocked with solid fat within seconds XD cost them thousands in fines lol
You know, I don't really eat fast food, but I was hoping to get some again to just remind myself of what it tastes like, and also for some nostalgia too. Thanks to these videos though, I don't think that's ever gonna happen
I remember vividly driving to my local Coles to buy bulk garlic bread, wrapping it up in the dominos wrapper and selling it full price because we where out
Worked at Domino's for almost 5 years (unfortunately). I remember one of my workmates ordered on one of his nights off, and I decided to load his pizza base with chilli flakes to try and stitch him up. I don't think it even phased him at all. I was a delivery driver and would usually work the close shifts, so I'd also have to do a bit of cleaning during the night. My store didn't have a dishwasher either, so you'd have to wash things by hand, which could take ages if it was busy. I hated being interrupted for a delivery late on closes when it was a busy night, especially if the customer was right around the corner. I'd decided that mildly inconveniencing the customers was the way to go, so I'd shake the hell out of their drinks in the hopes that about half of it would spray out everywhere.
They called the toppings that fell into the grate the "pit ingredients" when I worked at Dominos. Our manager/owner tried to make us put a certain weight of "pit ingredients" on a supreme pizza and then just fill the gaps. It was fucked and I just made them exactly as they were intended to be. Needless to say it put me at odds with management and basically got me ghosted in terms of shifts.
Yeah I was a driver for them a long time ago: ended up dropping 12 pizzas to this party, and was welcomed in like a king upon delivery (our other driver was robbed and had to go home - so it was me doing two drivers work) - anyway, was offered the wacky tobbacy pipe, a glass of Chivas and my pick from any of the very willing girls at the party... if I didn't need the job so badly, I would have stayed. So we settled on a make out, a photo with a crowd that would make Kim Jong blush and a $50 tip from a wallet that was clearly that of a dealer. It was an anomaly to the otherwise straightforward job😅
I work at a deli, and pretty often if food goes mouldy or discoloured it would just be scraped off or the bad looking parts would get cut, rarely anything would get thrown out, if something was marinated and clearly gone bad, we would just rinse the marinade off the stuff (mussels, prawns, mostly seafood) and make a new marinade for them We have had a few health inspectors come in, but nothing has ever came of it
You need to do "La Porchetta confessions"!! I know that I personally have a HEAP of stories, I'd be surprised if others don't too. The place is so dodgy and incestuous I'm sure it'd be a great one for a laugh! Love your work Jordy, you're a fkn legend!❤❤
Worked at zambreros in Canberra for a 5 year period and in the beginning it was a fairly normal place to work as you would expect a zambies to me. However very soon after the first 6 months the ‘fresh’ produce that would get delivered weekly would start to show its age. Boxes of avos would be mushed and rotten, to which our franchisee would say “what else are you gonna use, take out the brown bits” and make a cheeky guac out of it. I also got sent a video from my work mate of a box of tomato’s crawling with cockroaches. The cauliflower there is the only thing that doesn’t have any rules when reheating. Though because it’s the least ordered item, we at one point nuked the shit out of a bane to where 2 weeks later all that was left was black coals we served mixed in the beef as flavouring.
First job was in a Pizza Hut 25 years ago. Work in a nursing home now. Most recent weird thing is I was propositioned by a 101 year old woman who was not taking no for an answer. Crazy stuff happens daily, especially with the lack of staff :\
Aged care nurse, we had a dementia client who was still young but with very early onset symtomps - strong confused and always angry. he would frequently wander up and down the hallway, despite shitting his pants he would march on. the shit would then pour down his legs and dry up. when it came to cleaning him when he finally let us clean him up, removing the dried up faeces from his hairy legs turned into a waxing session, in small chunks we were ripping off his hair with the dried faeces. man took it like a champ.
I worked at Pizza Hut Wentworthville when I was 16. I was Day Prep making then dough and setting up the toppings of a morning. When rolling the dough for the Thin & Crispy Pizza's the first few would get crushed up German Cockroaches mixed in. When I went to throw them out I was told not to worry and just use the mix. We were not to clean the machines in the morning before use as it was apparently a dangerous device that only a repair man was meant to work on not staff. Also heard a rumour of a guy that had been fired not long before I started there for using the dough like a Flesh Light. Apparently he was caught after they found hairs in some of the pizza bases.
I worked for a Domino's as an Assistant Manager and Main Assistant. It was New Year's Eve and I was scheduled to close the store so I got shit faced at work and turned off ordered 2 hours early while I cleaned. The next day I was scheduled to open the store and there wasn't much working done, instead I spent most of my time in the back puking everything I could out to the point where i was just puking bile. I was at the point of passing out in the back office while my drivers (both are mothers and treated me like a son to them) nursed me back to health. God bless their hearts. One of them came back from their deliveries with anti-nausea pills which I instantly threw up. She also came back with Pozole verde, some great traditional hot salsa and limes which I took few sips out of and it eventually got me working again. Best pozole ever, worst hangover so far. God I miss fucking around in that job.
Ooh, that's a good one. I used to work front desk at a motel, so I could imagine how far things could go. As for me, wildest things I've done were: -Had sex with my girlfriend at the time, on my lunch break, in unused rooms. I did mark them for cleaning afterwards because I'm not a monster. -Put annoying, loud guests in the farthest rooms on the second floor (we only had two floors). It was only partially out of spite, but it was also so they wouldn't be around the other guests who weren't openly proclaiming "I'm rotten!". Never had a complaint from the sweet elderly people I saved the first-floor, near-the-office rooms for. Guests, on the other hand, varied wildly. We had a homeless man who came in once a week to threaten whoever was on the clock at the time. It was often enough to the point where mentioning him and how to handle the situation was part of new hire training. Cleaning crew are the ones who probably have all the true horror stories. Tip to anyone who has come this far: Ask about discounts and do so politely. We were instructed to never give discounts unless the customer was saying something specific, as if it were some magic spell to invoke. So many elderly people would come in asking about "AARP discounts" or "senior discounts", but I was instructed to say "We do not have that." What my boss did not know was that I would also say "We do not have that, but there are other discounts we have if you'd like to know about them." If they did want to know, I'd basically give them the magic spell. This wasn't "senior discount" exclusive, that was just the crowd most likely to ask. There were a few times where I totally broke protocol and flat-out said "You guys are eligible for a discount, if you just say these magic words" to people, as it was just after hurricane Katrina and we were getting plenty of people in who had no place to go. It's ridiculous how far some places will go to squeeze a few more bucks out of anyone and everyone.
TH-cam video mentions Dominos. TH-cam algo analyzes and cross references with advertisers. Serves advertisements based on that. It's really not very mysterious. Lots of folk got election ads for Clive Palmer for some of Jordies most brutally damning videos of Clive Palmer. First Bank had the same treatment, I seem to recall.
I used to work at McDonalds. This is nowhere near as egregious, but if you ever order Decaf coffee, chances are you're not fuckin getting it. Instead, you get a watered down Americano. The reason is the decaf bags come for the coffeemaker, but no one orders decaf and we only have one coffee machine. So instead we make Americano from the other machine (espresso machine) and just water it down, and there you go.
Ah to be back in high school my senior year and working at Domino's with my best buddy :') Good times, lowkey miss my labor being exploited for profit as well as my friend's. Fun fact, when he started working there he asked for 9.75 to start and they told him absolutely, then when me and this friend were double checking the hours/rates on our pay stubs we realized they lied to him and were only paying him 7.50. In hindsight maybe we should've taken it to the department of labor but there was no way to prove it
I guess my mind sort of goes to management lying about them agreeing to pay my friend the 9.75 and us having no way to prove it, maybe lies like "well we never had any discussions about it, as far as he made us aware he was content with minimum wage, etc." as it was a verbal agreement that he never had Domino's put into writing or anything like that. Although that may be what a typical labor dispute looks like in the U.S. but I have no idea really
When I was a first year university stoner, I got a job at Domino's as a delivery driver, in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. During the interview process they hired me and gave me their dorky uniform. I turned up to my very first shift an hour late, and the manager fired me on the spot and told me to get off the property. For the next month they were sending me text messages and emails, demanding me to give the uniform back or there would be legal action. I sold the Domino's uniform on eBay (hat, trousers, belt, shirt and windbreaker) for around $100, and never replied to any of their messages.
dominos in australia sounds lit, i worked at a papa johns, the only weird thing going on there was the weird vibe that this one manager was into one of the workers who were there. pretty sure she was 17 too and the dude was like 30 something
Yep. Worked in fast food and restaurants over 40 years. Nope. Never. Especially the last 2 generations of young workers. Dirty, lazy, sucking their fingers, picking their noses
every time we order dominos it always ends up with little bits of toppings that arent supposed to be there. the amount of times ive found little square pieces of ham on my vegan pizza (blame me for being vegan i guess) is incredible
The Mystery Surpreme from the tray is VERY true, and must have been a practice across all stores 🤣🤣 I made a lot of them in the late 90s and would tell my friend not to order a late night Supreme because of this. We would pick out the prawns, cos THAT'S EXTRA.
Back in my work at maccas we had a stolen microvan rollover in the drivethrough at ~4am, I still had to end up serving them. They rolled it back over and took off. We watched them fly through come past again through the intersection at well over 150k/h while hanging out the windows of this tin can. I hope this doesn't mean I was envolved with crime.
While working at KFC back in grade 9 for work experience the manager told me that I had to go clean out and organise the walk-in drink fridge. Sounds simple but ice-cold bottles and small muscles leads to accidents. I had 2 bottles slip out of my baby smooth hands, land bottle lid down, thus making the lids crack and so both 2 litre bottles exploded at my feet, drenching my pre-owened pants in ice-cold sprite. Headed to the manager to tell her what happened, she took the news so casually she told me that I right then and there to go hand out food at the drive-thru window

@@cambrianred995 YEAH WTF!
Never worked there but I did order ‘The big one’; A promo pizza that was a meter in diameter!
We had to order on a seperate website and order days in advanced at a specific time.
I get to domino’s on the fabeled day and ask for my big pizza. They replied in quiet awe “you’re the one”, like I was the messiah. Every worker somehow heard this softly spoken man and ceased operation just to come to the counter.
Four of them went into the back and march out the meter wide pizza box bursting in excitement.
Putting the pizza on the countertop they politely asked. “Could we take a photo”
I said sure and they took a photo of me and the pizza and then all of the domino’s workers came out to take a group photo. They said I was the first ‘big one’
This historical moment was almost ruined by the fact I couldn’t get the pizza through the door of the domino’s. The workers then took the pizza off me to ferry it though the door. Where I preceded to walk home, through inner west Sydney, with massive pizza.
I’ll never eat their again, but we’ll never forget ‘the big one’.

My friend was working at a McDonalds here in Adelaide when a man went through the drive thru, ordered, but had his head out the window as he hit the accelerator and snapped his neck between the restaurant wall and his car... He did not survive. Apparently the restaurant continued operating as normal in store while this dude was sitting limp in his car blocking the drive thru while they waited for an ambulance to arrive.
Why stop serving food, just because a retarded people die doesn't make the whole world stop
At my McDonalds (before I worked there), there was some guy who was slightly more top heavy handing change back but the wind blew it out of his hand and he tried to grab it but ended up tumbling right out of the window. He was fine though, just embarrassed.

okay so i worked adjacent to Dominos here in the USA. my boss was an ex-Dominos simp who started off at 13 years old sticking flyers under windshield wipers for free slices, and festered into one of those managers that travels from store to store to tell them how they suck. he finally quit to open his own pizza shop, and admittedly had a good pizza recipe going. But he overloaded the menu, especially for the tiny kitchen we operated out of. pizzas, subs, pastas, deli, fried stuff, burgers, salads, steak tips...way too much. The building itself was also disgusting, with previous owners putting down layer after layer of linoleum to cover up holes, until there were holes that poked through to the basement. There was actual garbage mushrooms that would grow near the dishwashing station, and we had to just dump bleach on them. it culminated in the Health Inspector telling the owner he had to fix his floor asap. Owner made up a lie about some contractor and got all of us to come in and help tear up the floor, but then halfassed the whole process of putting down the new flooring to try and rush it along. never used spacers for new tile, and never put down any grout, so instead bits of mushed up food that fell between the tiles and got stamped down became the new 'grout'. the shop closed during covid, but not before myself and other ex-coworkers foiled the owners' plan to just lock the shop up for good without telling his remaining staff or paying them. Fuck you, Josh.

One morning while making pastry, Dad caught the apprentice throwing dough at a cockroach running up the wall. The dough fell on the bench, the apprentice removed the cockroach and continued to use the pastry. Next morning there was a sign in the window "Apprentice Pastry Chef Wanted".

Fast food adjacent, I used to work for DON (they put the bacon in our burgers and the kabana in our delis among other things) and the amount of violations I witnessed over my two years of working there will stick with me for the rest of my life.
So much machinery left un-sanitised, so many hundreds of kilos of meat dropped on the production floor and tossed back on to the supply belt (keep in mind the floor was always damp and had contaminants like dirt, loose screws, plastics, motor oil, cracked concrete, and all sorts of meaty liquids and allergen powders), so much mixed-meat contact that went unregulated.
People threw meat at eachother almost daily, with the sole purpose of soiling someone else's uniform, or equipment, or coating their protective eyewear to blind them. There were days of flooded ceilings leaking onto the equipment and employees.
People died at work while I was there, and many people were at constant risk of death or injury because of poor training or low awareness of things like heavy machinery or vehicles crossing paths with foot traffic. Even over my time there had I recieved burns, cuts, strains, abrasions and at one point impalement.
I worked in and around the department responsible for making brine to be injected into their meat and at any moment someone could have spat into the mixing vat's hopper and subsequently given half of Australia herpes or something because there were no cameras watching the process. Mixing and injecting recipes were failed constantly and numbers were fudged on paperwork to pretend like everything was up to order.
Never a boring day at DON, loved working there.

I worked at Dominos for year, here is what I can remember on the spot. The ground beef is 41% "Meat", the rest is soy. It was routine practice to re-label food with the sticker gun as it was passing out of date. Dough and meat products alike was left out at room temp for hours at a time if it was too busy to put it into cold storage. The air vent in the walk in fridge was spray painted black every once in a while to cover up the mould and crap growing on it rather than cleaning/replacing it. As pizza was made the toppings that didn't make it onto the pizza ended up in catchment trays. It wasn't uncommon to 'reclaim' lost toppings at the end of the night and put them back into circulation having sat in the temperature danger zone for up to hours. There was little to no consideration for dietary or allergy issues with consecutive Pizzas being made with the same set of gloves and the cutter only being washed at the end of the night. Pizza & garlic bread would sit in the post-cook heater for hours only to be served to customers. I'm sure more will come to mind, not to mention the militant and often abusive middle management.
Edit: I have remembered Anchovy Roulette where one lucky cheesy crust pizza had a cheeky anchovy hidden in the crust for one unfortunate customer.
Had the Waurn Ponds Domino's manager tell me, after FOUR INCORRECT PIZZAS IN A ROW, that her staff found REMOVING CHEESE FROM A PIZZA, TOO DIFFICULT TO REMEMBER.
I worked as a driver at Dominos, plenty of stories. Delivered a pizza and as I was walking back to the car, bogan comes out screaming "GET AWAY FROM MY CAR" kept saying it was mine, he starts threatening violence only for the daughter I delivered the pizza to yelling from the front door "DON'T DO IT DAD, YOU'LL GO BACK TO JAIL". We also had the lid come off the chilli flakes while making an el scorcho, entire container went on the pizza, cooked it anyway and the staff ate it as a challenge, 2 threw up and I had so many tears in my eyes I could barely see the road on the next delivery.

Here's a story about Andy and Ron. Andy was a bright-eyed, enthusiastic P-plater, who was deeply religious. Ron was a jaded 40something burnout who's default attitude towards everything was disdain. Also the best driver we had. One time Andy's helping out with prep, chattin' shit as you do, and he drops the line, "Man, I can't wait until I get married, 'cause I'm gonna have so much sex." I'm like, "What? Married people don't have sex." He's like, "'Course they do, why else would you get married?".
At this point, Ron came back from delivery, so I shouted out to him, "Hey Ron, you're married right? When was the last time you got laid?"
His deadpan reply, "Well, I've got a kid, but I'm buggered if I know how that happened."
Andy shrieked, blocked his ears, and ran.

One time when I was working at Dominos last year I was restocking the drinks fridge and I put a box of like 12 1.5L bottles on the floor and the manager told me "bro at dominos we dont put our product on the floor!!". A few weeks later it was so busy that we ran out of space for pizzas so the same manager was putting the pizzas still in the pan onto the floor until there was space enough space...

10 years at Dominos, 4 as a store manager. The internal food safety processes and inspections (OER) are super strict, however there are some very dodgy franchisees and managers.
The amount of customers that would abuse a 14yo over a $5 pizza was insane and definitely had a few colleagues and staff members robbed over my time in Townsville and Brisbane, unfortunately.

FriendlyJordies was actually friendly. LOL
Did he get the Supreme 😱😱
I saw Friendlyjordies at a Woolies in [redacted] a few weeks back. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Mars Bars in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
The "mystery supreme" Is something my old work college would make for his staff meal on a daily, this involved scraping any leftover food from the bench onto a base and cooking it.

I worked at hungry jacks in Frankston in a teenager. Over the time I worked there I saw many disgusting things. The worst one by far was on an overnight shift, I was about 15 minutes away from clocking off when I heard a horrifying scream coming from the kitchen. I went back there to check what all the commotion was and found a man (who was clearly on meth) lying on the floor, screaming. I quickly learned the reason he was screaming on the floor was because he had stuck his hand directly in the fryer to try and get a handful of chips out. Not really a master criminal. It took us a couple of hours to clean all the bits of skin off the floor and fryer.
It was put back in to use the next morning .
Mhhh, french fries with meth head skin after taste, my favorite.
I worked at a Dominos for 5 years. For a bit we had a roving gang that would hang about in the area--often outside the shop. They were wanted by the police, and once hung about at closing time, around 2am. Police were called, and they scattered. They then returned and beat the mall cleaner near to death with a skateboard. Basically from then on we had to call the police whenever they were hanging outside because even the police were sure they were trying to rob us.
Our store was actually fairly clean and well run, but we did suffer from the same thing most stores do--driver pay abuse. On public holidays, drivers don't get paid doubletime like instores do. Instead they get double the delivery fee, $2. Usually you get 2-4 deliveries an hour, so really not worth it. But what most Managers do is roster all the drivers who can also work on the makeline and instore, put them on the roster as drivers, and then not pay them holiday rates. Its pretty scummy, but according to our manager "everyone does it".
As I had been there while I could do everything, but refused to work public holidays for that reason. I ran the store most days of the week, and while only a casual, I got paid more for my experience. I sent an anonymous email to corporate to ask how the system is supposed to work, and they replied that unless drivers do a minimum 2 deliveries an hour, they can't be paid as drivers. I took the email and info to the manager and store owner, and they stopped doing it. The owner did also cut my pay back to the base amount for my effort. At least the other drivers stopped getting ripped off for a bit.

I once hydroplaned and crashed while delivering pizza for Dominos. Some bloke walked past, looked over my wrecked car, said "Pizza is going to be late" and kept walking.
I still think about him 9 years later.
*Edit* Oh shi-, totally forgot about a better story.
When I was a teen, I worked in store for Dominos as a dough boy. One night, I complained about a pain in my groin. Manager wouldn't let me off even though I couldn't stand and made me finish my shift. Turns out I'd ruptured something and ended the night in hospital. She ended up firing me for missing my next shift, even though I was still in hospital.
When I went back years later as a driver, found out she now works at a petrol station.
I remember a wendys near me was without hot water for a full month.
The employees were told to just wash everything with cold water and at no point was there an attempt to get hot water or heat up water in order to satisfy health and safety standards.
And they knock india for washing in the Ganges
Love the Blacktown shirt and Claire's name on the back. Good to see you supporting a local team and the women's team, too! Love yer stuff, Jordies
Dominos hirers in America refuse to tell potential delivery drivers that some insurers require them to upgrade their car insurance plan to a more expensive “commercial insurance coverage” plan in order to legally deliver Dominos pizza. Dominos also doesn’t have any insurance coverage for their drivers. This means that thousands of Dominos drivers are currently driving technically without insurance, and they’re one accident away from having their bank account ruined! :)
not true in australia
My husband was a dominoes driver. He new about needing better insurance but didn’t get it. That’s why when his car was hit in the dominos parking lot he didn’t pursue having it fixed by the other person cause he don’t want his insurance to find out. So he drove around with a busted car instead
true for canada too. someone i worked with was an insider then became a driver for a few months till his insurance broker saw him with the sign on his car and told him he’d have to upgrade his insurance or stop
They also don't tell you that most insurers will just outright refuse to cover delivery drivers.
My franchise in Aus provides insurance for our personal car usage all though many stores also have company cars.
Its funny to see his vids go from "my country is corrupt" to "dominos workers confess to sins"
It's all connected!
I was a Domino’s delivery driver in uni. I had to go home from a shift when the searing hot prawn juices from a garlic prawn pizza leaked out of the pizza box and down my arm. Another night the brakes gave out on my shitbox Daihatsu applause, the manager told me to just go slow and use the handbrake.
guaranteed he wouldnt let you use a personal either
this reminds me of when my franchisee accidentally wacked me right in the forehead with a cheesy bread straight out of the oven, I just had to put burn cream on it and sit out the back for ten minutes tho, then had to go back to serving customers with a bandaid on my forehead
Nursing student. As a student, you get taught how to do procedures properly, and then see how they are actually done. Needless to say, if you aren't there to witness it, it probably wasn't done right.
Once when i worked at maccas, someone found some fly eggs in the meat. But the worst part was the manager on duty thought they were lying and didn’t tell the kitchen at all, so they still used the old musty patties on more burgers.
Worked in my own family business for years - it was a cafe. Had a guy who used to come in pretty regularly. He thought he could see “faces” in “light” and actually took photos of “light rays” as he called them. I entertained him as I didn’t want to be rude. Told him that if he’s convinced that he’s onto something (he definitely wasn’t), that he should reach out to some prominent academics. He said he did, he emailed dozens. He told me that absolutely none of them responded to him 😂

Can't be much worse than the gambling lobby.
They are going to deep fry his house.
I worked at a Dominos. Was helping for start shift while the manager, assistant manager, business manager and franchisee were there. Some work had already been done, the floor was wet after being pressure washed and cleaned or something like that. When I noticed soapy suds in some of the pizza pans stacked away not being used yet, I pointed out to the manager in front of everyone, and asked if floor cleaner had accidentally been spilled onto the pans. (Not a big deal, we could have just washed them and definitely cleared them of chemicals) The manager raised his voice very loudly to talk over me, proclaiming "NO. No... Definitely not..." He then turned back to what he was doing at the counter while everyone looked on awkwardly.
I'm pretty sure I was right. Nothing was done to wash the pans, or if they did they did it without anyone seeing.
i recently quit after 7 years of shit and the best story i have is a manager selling fentanyl to a coworker, that coworker od'ing on the floor, and the manager just runs out. best representation of working in fast food.
Been working as a delivery driver for 5 months. On my second night a tradie and his kid threatened to bash the other new driver because he ate some of their food. When my manager took the driver to the back and asked what happened he told her “it didn’t say in the contract that I couldn’t eat the food” … the tradie left screaming if he ever saw the driver working at dominos again he would smash up the company car with a bat.
The driver is now a shift runner (manager)
"Well, I can't say I approve, but you do seem to know your way around the law. How would you like a promotion to corporate?"
Well if the delivery guy is at risk of getting robbed which seems to be quite possible, based on comments here.. let them eat...but maybe not a customers order..
I've got a few Maccas stories for ya.
Worked there for little over five years as a teenager.
We found a rat baked into a burger bun. Manager disposed of that packet of buns but not the entire stock from that shipment, as is required.
A manager dropped a load of uncooked fries on the floor and scooped them up back into the fries hopper.
A co-worker was made to scrub out a dumpster and ended up with black mold in his lungs and contracted mucormycosis.
At, like, 2am, some guys came in with machetes and smashed up the McCafe display cabinets in the front of the store and threatened staff before leaving. When the manager called the store manager to report it, they were told to not close the store and to keep serving customers...
holy shit that shit about the black mould - please tell some one got sued for that fuck me
Let me guess. The Machete wielding guy's didn't happen to be a certain shade that would make them hard to spot if they fell into Willy Wonka's chocolate river?
"We're taking heavy casualties, sir! Request to fall back and regroup!" "God damn it soldier, I want that hill, and by god you are going to take it! That's an order!"
Good old Jordan 🥺🥺 giving the people what they want
I am no aussie, but I worked far too long in food service. Let me share a tale from my time in Tim Horton's in Ottawa, ON.
So this particular Tim's was a very small location located inside of an office building. It was so small, they had a lower floor to store items, and a dumb waiter to move said items upstairs. This included all the fresh veggies and frozen items, as the fridge and freezer were downstairs. Also, due to the limited room, trash that was cleared from the lobby and prep areas were likewise sent down to the basement floor and stored until when it could be put on the street for collection as we didn't even have a dumpster.
This is going exactly where you think it's going.
So one thing any coffee shop worker can attest to is that garbage bags often fill with leftover liquid from discarded cups. You wind up with very sodden sacks of garbage that, also, rupture easily and leak what essentially amounts to garbage filtered leftover coffee water. Now, when clearing the garbage out, each time you were meant to sanitize the dumb waiter. Meant to. However, on multiple occasions, there would be literal pools of filthy brown sludge water sitting below a milk carton containing lettuce, tomatoes, and other such "ready to use" materials for the sandwich station.
So if ever you got a very caffeinated-tasting sandwich from the Bank Street Tim's on Ottawa... it's likely it had that extra taint of garbage coffee water added. Yum yum.
Must be a scale thing, in the UK Domino's the worst thing I saw in 4 years was someone picking up a dropped chicken kicker to make sure there were 7, it was the last 7 we had. It was done to avoid the inevitable 'my chicken kickers was one short!' complaint from a customer.
i worked at hungry jacks for almost exactly a year.
everyone was great and friendly (including the manager surprisingly, he was great), but they had way too many people, not enough shifts and i swear i was the only one changing my gloves with any sort of frequency after touching raw meat then preparing stuff like burgers.
didnt see any rats, dont have any stories about picking stuff off the floor and giving them to customers but i do have stories about how i nearly gave myself very severe burns while working on the fryer and sliding around on the extremely greasy floor.
im very surprised i didnt slip and crack the back of my head open on the really sharp corners of those benches.
I don't understand why they don't just install floors with jagged edges for grip, or basically anything they use in cargo ship kitchens, or metal grating or something. It's not like it's an unsolved engineering problem, and it's gonna cost less than paying the fines from lawsuits and breaking labor laws (well, in some countries at least).
When I was a delivery driver all the hot cells (what we put the pizza in to keep it warm) all had their own unique, mouldy scent
I used to work as an electronics technician. The mouse story does not surprise me at all. You'd be surprised the number of times I would open up a TV or microwave oven to find a dead mouse having been electrocuted causing the fault. One time, I opened up a microwave oven and found 2 mice. One looked like it had licked the transformer (very dangerous, don't play with one unless you really know what you are doing) and the other looked like it was pulling on the first ones tail. The joke quickly spread throughout the workshop that the first one licked the transformer while the second one tried to save it.
Anyway, do Hungry Jacks next. I could add a story or two from that place.
At 4pm every day we were meant to check the temperature of all the ingredients and if they weren't within a specific range we were supposed to throw them out and get new ones out - instead of doing that we were told to just say it was within the range and ignore it. We'd constantly cut corners because we'd only get paid till like midnight for close shifts but be forced to stay till about 1-2am cleaning
All these things make my time working as a bakery assistant in NZ look utterly tame O_O Worst things about it was the butter burn I got on my arm from a tray of garlic butter bread twists, the time I sliced my finger pretty badly (no blood in the food though) and the utter horror that was the bakery floor at the end of the shift.
Oh and lollie cake is made from the leftover ends of slices that sit in a box in the fridge until it's time to make it and combined with a dark brown sugar syrup.
The most scandalous thing I did at a pizza place (Not domino's) was occasionally, we'd "comp extra cheese" to particularly rude customers. We'd just withhold half of the regular cheese measurement until after applying all other toppings. It's funny because it actually tastes like there's extra cheese.
You're a wild man... you know that?
One time when I was taking someone's order and gave them their food (they only waited 45 mins) and then they opened it, looked into my eyes, and then threw the pizza on the floor and demanded we remade it because it was "too ugly, looked like sh*t", it wasnt even incorrectly made
Glad we are back to the fun content
I had a friend who worked at Subway a few years ago and while on his shift one of the roof panels came off and a bunch of sewer rats fell through the roof while he was making food all the customers left in disgust
What were sewer rat's doing in the roof? That would make them roof rat's. I smell a rat.
dominos is a special nightmare. i have been in the pizza business for too long, and i've heard some things about other companies. i always made sure my stores were clean and safe though. i almost always made myself the exact same food i was making customers. and we never had anyone do anything gross except for using onions and mushrooms one day too late. even then, that won't make you sick they just have a gross texture when raw and don't look that great.
we did get a bad lot of diced pepperonis once that we had to recall. literally everyone who ate it got violently sick. that was one time in 20 years though. i think the main thing is we didn't have a lobby and we didn't do deliveries. removing those two headaches makes your employees way less likely to mess with the food and cut corners. if a pizza place is super, super busy and they have a lobby plus drivers going in and out, i'm going somewhere else.
As a domino's worker I can confirm
WOY WOY
Was a dominos worker as the worst that ever happened at my store in NZ was some highschoolers who didn't clean containers properly that we'd use for food prep, meaning we had to clean them again. It's crazy to me the shit that's in this video and I'd quit so fast. I ate pizza almost every single shift since closers got one for free, and I still order dominos when the situation for cheap shit food arises
@@facepalm7345 NZ seems to generally be less busy (as a current dominos Aus employee I can look at the storewars info) and as such may have much higher health and safety standards. my dominos is disgusting though.
@@katvelyte I suppose that's true too. We wouldn't hesitate to just halt pizzas if something really needed to be done, food safety wise.
i have a mate that was supervisor at a brodies in QLD, one day the chooks were delivered, proceeded to be seasoned and put in the ovens, turns out none of the chooks were gutted ....the manager told him to still sell the chooks... pretty fucked lol, that same manager emptied the whole deep fryer fat into the sewer drain in the drive thru, it was blocked with solid fat within seconds XD cost them thousands in fines lol
Was it brodies ipswich?
brisbane, boondall store
You know, I don't really eat fast food, but I was hoping to get some again to just remind myself of what it tastes like, and also for some nostalgia too. Thanks to these videos though, I don't think that's ever gonna happen
I remember vividly driving to my local Coles to buy bulk garlic bread, wrapping it up in the dominos wrapper and selling it full price because we where out
Worked at Domino's for almost 5 years (unfortunately). I remember one of my workmates ordered on one of his nights off, and I decided to load his pizza base with chilli flakes to try and stitch him up. I don't think it even phased him at all.
I was a delivery driver and would usually work the close shifts, so I'd also have to do a bit of cleaning during the night. My store didn't have a dishwasher either, so you'd have to wash things by hand, which could take ages if it was busy.
I hated being interrupted for a delivery late on closes when it was a busy night, especially if the customer was right around the corner. I'd decided that mildly inconveniencing the customers was the way to go, so I'd shake the hell out of their drinks in the hopes that about half of it would spray out everywhere.
Hubby worked for Domino's for years. Yes he was offered a blowey for garlic bread sticks in a dorm!!
Bring back Warhammer fan jordies with
"Games Workshop Workers confess their sins"
I'm putting him in the book if he doesn't give us this
He promised a tat.
They called the toppings that fell into the grate the "pit ingredients" when I worked at Dominos. Our manager/owner tried to make us put a certain weight of "pit ingredients" on a supreme pizza and then just fill the gaps. It was fucked and I just made them exactly as they were intended to be. Needless to say it put me at odds with management and basically got me ghosted in terms of shifts.
Yeah I was a driver for them a long time ago: ended up dropping 12 pizzas to this party, and was welcomed in like a king upon delivery (our other driver was robbed and had to go home - so it was me doing two drivers work) - anyway, was offered the wacky tobbacy pipe, a glass of Chivas and my pick from any of the very willing girls at the party... if I didn't need the job so badly, I would have stayed. So we settled on a make out, a photo with a crowd that would make Kim Jong blush and a $50 tip from a wallet that was clearly that of a dealer.
It was an anomaly to the otherwise straightforward job😅
I work at a deli, and pretty often if food goes mouldy or discoloured it would just be scraped off or the bad looking parts would get cut, rarely anything would get thrown out, if something was marinated and clearly gone bad, we would just rinse the marinade off the stuff (mussels, prawns, mostly seafood) and make a new marinade for them
We have had a few health inspectors come in, but nothing has ever came of it
I had Domino’s Friday last week. Now I feel sick after watching this. Thanks FJ
You need to do "La Porchetta confessions"!!
I know that I personally have a HEAP of stories, I'd be surprised if others don't too.
The place is so dodgy and incestuous I'm sure it'd be a great one for a laugh!
Love your work Jordy, you're a fkn legend!❤❤
Jordies entering his Slavic dad era, wearing only soccer tops and zip ups
Worked at zambreros in Canberra for a 5 year period and in the beginning it was a fairly normal place to work as you would expect a zambies to me. However very soon after the first 6 months the ‘fresh’ produce that would get delivered weekly would start to show its age. Boxes of avos would be mushed and rotten, to which our franchisee would say “what else are you gonna use, take out the brown bits” and make a cheeky guac out of it.
I also got sent a video from my work mate of a box of tomato’s crawling with cockroaches.
The cauliflower there is the only thing that doesn’t have any rules when reheating. Though because it’s the least ordered item, we at one point nuked the shit out of a bane to where 2 weeks later all that was left was black coals we served mixed in the beef as flavouring.

First job was in a Pizza Hut 25 years ago. Work in a nursing home now. Most recent weird thing is I was propositioned by a 101 year old woman who was not taking no for an answer. Crazy stuff happens daily, especially with the lack of staff :\
Aged care nurse, we had a dementia client who was still young but with very early onset symtomps - strong confused and always angry. he would frequently wander up and down the hallway, despite shitting his pants he would march on. the shit would then pour down his legs and dry up. when it came to cleaning him when he finally let us clean him up, removing the dried up faeces from his hairy legs turned into a waxing session, in small chunks we were ripping off his hair with the dried faeces. man took it like a champ.
I worked at Pizza Hut Wentworthville when I was 16. I was Day Prep making then dough and setting up the toppings of a morning. When rolling the dough for the Thin & Crispy Pizza's the first few would get crushed up German Cockroaches mixed in. When I went to throw them out I was told not to worry and just use the mix. We were not to clean the machines in the morning before use as it was apparently a dangerous device that only a repair man was meant to work on not staff. Also heard a rumour of a guy that had been fired not long before I started there for using the dough like a Flesh Light. Apparently he was caught after they found hairs in some of the pizza bases.
Worked at a domions here in the states and I can conform that all of these are in fact the same over here in PA.
not to mention the class action lawsuit they're dealing with at the moment in regards to them underpaying their staff for years.
this hits differently whilst eating dominos
I worked for a Domino's as an Assistant Manager and Main Assistant. It was New Year's Eve and I was scheduled to close the store so I got shit faced at work and turned off ordered 2 hours early while I cleaned. The next day I was scheduled to open the store and there wasn't much working done, instead I spent most of my time in the back puking everything I could out to the point where i was just puking bile. I was at the point of passing out in the back office while my drivers (both are mothers and treated me like a son to them) nursed me back to health. God bless their hearts. One of them came back from their deliveries with anti-nausea pills which I instantly threw up. She also came back with Pozole verde, some great traditional hot salsa and limes which I took few sips out of and it eventually got me working again. Best pozole ever, worst hangover so far. God I miss fucking around in that job.
The fact the add “More more more” from dominoes comes on before the video starts is just great
Now this is the high quality political commentary I signed up for!
Do one for people working in hotels. Guests & staff were next level 😮
Ooh, that's a good one. I used to work front desk at a motel, so I could imagine how far things could go. As for me, wildest things I've done were:
-Had sex with my girlfriend at the time, on my lunch break, in unused rooms. I did mark them for cleaning afterwards because I'm not a monster.
-Put annoying, loud guests in the farthest rooms on the second floor (we only had two floors). It was only partially out of spite, but it was also so they wouldn't be around the other guests who weren't openly proclaiming "I'm rotten!". Never had a complaint from the sweet elderly people I saved the first-floor, near-the-office rooms for.
Guests, on the other hand, varied wildly. We had a homeless man who came in once a week to threaten whoever was on the clock at the time. It was often enough to the point where mentioning him and how to handle the situation was part of new hire training.
Cleaning crew are the ones who probably have all the true horror stories.
Tip to anyone who has come this far: Ask about discounts and do so politely. We were instructed to never give discounts unless the customer was saying something specific, as if it were some magic spell to invoke. So many elderly people would come in asking about "AARP discounts" or "senior discounts", but I was instructed to say "We do not have that." What my boss did not know was that I would also say "We do not have that, but there are other discounts we have if you'd like to know about them." If they did want to know, I'd basically give them the magic spell. This wasn't "senior discount" exclusive, that was just the crowd most likely to ask. There were a few times where I totally broke protocol and flat-out said "You guys are eligible for a discount, if you just say these magic words" to people, as it was just after hurricane Katrina and we were getting plenty of people in who had no place to go. It's ridiculous how far some places will go to squeeze a few more bucks out of anyone and everyone.
I got an ad for Domino's before this video. The world truly works in mysterious ways.
TH-cam video mentions Dominos. TH-cam algo analyzes and cross references with advertisers. Serves advertisements based on that. It's really not very mysterious. Lots of folk got election ads for Clive Palmer for some of Jordies most brutally damning videos of Clive Palmer. First Bank had the same treatment, I seem to recall.
i love how many times he mentioned the old video, really goes to show that its a good video and you should watch it right now!
took a break from saving our nation to give us a laugh, cheers jordz
still saving the nation
from restoring politics to getting us away from the poison of fast food
I used to work at McDonalds. This is nowhere near as egregious, but if you ever order Decaf coffee, chances are you're not fuckin getting it. Instead, you get a watered down Americano. The reason is the decaf bags come for the coffeemaker, but no one orders decaf and we only have one coffee machine.
So instead we make Americano from the other machine (espresso machine) and just water it down, and there you go.
Ah to be back in high school my senior year and working at Domino's with my best buddy :') Good times, lowkey miss my labor being exploited for profit as well as my friend's. Fun fact, when he started working there he asked for 9.75 to start and they told him absolutely, then when me and this friend were double checking the hours/rates on our pay stubs we realized they lied to him and were only paying him 7.50. In hindsight maybe we should've taken it to the department of labor but there was no way to prove it
I mean, in hindsight, "double checking the hours/rates on our pay stubs" seems like pretty solid evidence actually.
I guess my mind sort of goes to management lying about them agreeing to pay my friend the 9.75 and us having no way to prove it, maybe lies like "well we never had any discussions about it, as far as he made us aware he was content with minimum wage, etc." as it was a verbal agreement that he never had Domino's put into writing or anything like that. Although that may be what a typical labor dispute looks like in the U.S. but I have no idea really
@@d_4635 Wouldn't his salary be put in print on the employment contract he signed? Just an academic question really since obviously this was long ago.
When I was a first year university stoner, I got a job at Domino's as a delivery driver, in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. During the interview process they hired me and gave me their dorky uniform. I turned up to my very first shift an hour late, and the manager fired me on the spot and told me to get off the property.
For the next month they were sending me text messages and emails, demanding me to give the uniform back or there would be legal action. I sold the Domino's uniform on eBay (hat, trousers, belt, shirt and windbreaker) for around $100, and never replied to any of their messages.
i mean showing up an hour late on the FIRST SHIFT is pretty fuckin bad and makes sense to be fired but the whole uniform thing is like bruh
dominos in australia sounds lit, i worked at a papa johns, the only weird thing going on there was the weird vibe that this one manager was into one of the workers who were there. pretty sure she was 17 too and the dude was like 30 something
1986 in scotland i was a service engineer called out to Dominoes , what i saw was enough to make me not eat anything from any fast food outlet
Yep. Worked in fast food and restaurants over 40 years.
Nope. Never. Especially the last 2 generations of young workers. Dirty, lazy, sucking their fingers, picking their noses
That's a great story. Scots are known for their great story telling.
every time we order dominos it always ends up with little bits of toppings that arent supposed to be there. the amount of times ive found little square pieces of ham on my vegan pizza (blame me for being vegan i guess) is incredible
The Mystery Surpreme from the tray is VERY true, and must have been a practice across all stores 🤣🤣 I made a lot of them in the late 90s and would tell my friend not to order a late night Supreme because of this. We would pick out the prawns, cos THAT'S EXTRA.
Back in my work at maccas we had a stolen microvan rollover in the drivethrough at ~4am, I still had to end up serving them. They rolled it back over and took off. We watched them fly through come past again through the intersection at well over 150k/h while hanging out the windows of this tin can. I hope this doesn't mean I was envolved with crime.
While working at KFC back in grade 9 for work experience the manager told me that I had to go clean out and organise the walk-in drink fridge. Sounds simple but ice-cold bottles and small muscles leads to accidents. I had 2 bottles slip out of my baby smooth hands, land bottle lid down, thus making the lids crack and so both 2 litre bottles exploded at my feet, drenching my pre-owened pants in ice-cold sprite. Headed to the manager to tell her what happened, she took the news so casually she told me that I right then and there to go hand out food at the drive-thru window
Why did I watch this while eating LOL Jordie your humour kills me though. Thanks for this series.
