Domino's Information Dominance

By Kevin

I've argued with people who are concerned about corporations misusing private information, and I've insisted that it's government information dominance that we should be worried about. I still hold to that, although Domino's has given me pause.

My recent negative review of Domino's Doublemelt Pizza seems to have spurred the company to send me, via snail mail, a freebie offer of wings with my next pizza.

Now, they could only obtain my home address through a Whois query of T&B; I ask you, would they actually do this in response to a bad review? Or, rather, is it coincidence that a few days after my bad review, I get a "sorry for our poor performance" postcard? Did everyone who ordered a Doublemelt get this card?

Well, if you ordered the pizza, wouldn't the local Domino's place have your home address? After all, on calls after the first, they often use Caller ID to link the incoming phone number with an address. I suppose if someone from the local place saw the post they could use their data base, or if someone from corporate saw it, they might be able to search a centralized database for "Kevin Brancato".

Of course, you have to wonder what, if anything, people got who happen to have disagreed with your opinion on the Doublemelt.

Take the hint brain boy. Get the food. Review it. Nicely very nicely. If you get my drift.

You love Dominos. Dominos makes you happy. Repeat this over and over.

Also admit shamefully with tears how you were coerced about by the evil competition (the enemies of truly good pizza) to lie. Confess silly boy.

You are so young. You have a life in front of you. You might want children. Wouldn't it be sad if you had to be "fixed" like your little kitty.
