Customer service-- a forgotten idea

A few months ago I ordered a pizza from Dominos-- the delivery guy did not have change for a twenty- and instead of getting a five dollar tip- he ended up with an 8 dollar tip.

I complained to Dominos about this scam-- don't you think that the drivers should have enough change on them to break a twenty for a twelve dollar order--One Would Think.

A complaint to the main headquarters led to a promise of a call from the Silver Spring Dominos-- three months later I am still waiting.

Meanwhile-- Papa Johns has been advertising their pan pizza.
I ordered one and it was not so good. The crust was burnt and had an off taste.

I emailed a complaint to their main headquarters- I received a response the same day from the local proprietor- he apologized and offered a free pizza in turn-- anykind I wished for.

The next day I ordered the spinach, chicken alfredo. It was excellent as was the customer service.

I will now add Papa johns to my list of good places for pizzas along with Armands, and Z-pizza.

Dominos will be added to my "S" list.

Clinton, Obama or McCain

I am a registered Democrat. This is no way means that I vote the Democratic ticket all the time.
I have voted for Gude, Morella, Reagan, Perot, Nader and many other candidates over the years.

This year I may vote for McCain.

I believe many democrats will do the same.
The reasoning-- We are sick and tired of the dirty politics of the Democrat front runners- we are sick of the bickering, the lies, the name calling and the mistaken belief that these two Democrats think they are qualified to be President.

I believe McCain would be a good transitional President- and maybe the Democrats will find someone four years from now more qualified and suitable to be President.

I can only hope.
