Wow... 10 Aug 17

the backlash speaks more to the disgraceful state of humanity than it does Dominos…what did everyone think was going to happen??….In the 45 minutes that woman spent trying to get free pizza, she could have gone to Coles, spent $10 on ingredients and MADE pizza with her kids…probably a better use of an evening. jeez.
