I worked at dominoes for 9 months between ages of 17 and 18. It was fun because my boss was also my weed connection. I was stoned most days making pizzas. It was repetitive work but I was around a good group. I can't really complain. It paid for everything I wanted when I didn't have bills aside from my cellphone. Overall, it's a good job if you don't have a lot of expenses.

This was 10 years ago when the minimum was seven bucks an hour. I made like 200 a pay period working part time. That was baller money with no responsibility.

I enjoyed it. The crew would always make several pizzas right before close just to take home since "they didn't sell".

I stayed in money and food and the work wasn't bad.

6.5/10 Would recommend if you really like pizzza.

You're going to have to learn how to smoke marijuana at a competitive level.

I worked at Dominos a few years back in Sydney(redfern LOL) (Australia) Rush hours were insane, and we were in a shitty area but luckily we had a police station down the road.
Apart from shitty customers but also some of the best customers the job itself was great, mainly because our team was awesome ad most of my managers were great, if it wasn't for most of my coworkers who made it awesome I would of left much sooner as that was my night job while I worked a nine to five full time office job but it was my coworkers who were amazing.

For a horror story just imagine working cashier while an abo or a bogan comes through in rush hour and starts to make trouble or complain (about prices or anything I don't remember was a few years ago) , being a short five three,young looking girl doesn't help.
Customers think they cant tell me how it is >:(
Nope.

Worked at Sgt Pepperonis in Detroit (independent place inside a music venue) for about 6 months. It was pretty cool, got to wear whatever I wanted, most of my co workers were all young (my age) and I got a long with all of them. Easy work, mostly prep and repetitive. Got really good at working with dough and got pay + tips + free pizza. WE smoked every shift and drank during the weekends. Always fun and usually walked out with 20-40 bucks in my pocket 50-80 on weekends. Only sucky part was the management/my boss were absolute cocks
