Domino's Plans Pizza On the Moon
It may be more PR stunt than a viable expansion plan, but the Japanese arm of Domino's Pizza is making plans for a lunar store. Construction firm Maeda Corp has drawn-up the plans for the dome shaped restaurant and figures it will take 70 tons of materials and pizza-making equipment. Even with the cost cutting measure or using mineral deposits on the moon to make the concrete, Domino's estimates the costs at Y1.67 trillion ($21.7 billion). In 2001 rival chain Pizza Hut made a delivery to the International Space Station, but Domino's hopes to become the preferred pizza of space with the moon store plan.

Pizza so good, it's out of this world.

Your stories, as are mine, are obviously anecdotal.
I also worked at Domino's Pizza, on & off, for about 8 years, at probably a dozen different locations (maybe more), in the late 80's/early 90's. There were numerous managers and Regional Directors I encountered during my stints with the company.
I was *NEVER* told, encouraged, or pressured to break any traffic laws. I was *NEVER* penalized about delivering pizzas late and giving the customer the $3 refund that was advertised (NOTE: Was never "or it's free" - was $3 off). My pay was *NEVER* reduced because of late deliveries.
While the founder of Domino's Pizza corporation took political stances I disagree with, I have no beefs with the company, the way they treated the employees, or their policies. In fact, I've got a lot of respect for the company, or at least for the franchiser I worked for (RPM Pizza, out of Mississippi).
It sounds to me like you worked for a short time, underneath a bad manager and/or regional director, which may have been a reflection of a bad franchise operator. I had a completely opposite experience.
