Well, i’m not an expert, but I think you just put things on them.
I think it’s something to do with gravity.
I genuinely LOLed, which is very rare for me.
I have concluded that there is a single support person working for all companies offering phone service, satellite TV, various electronic devices etc.
We can call her Ludmila from Moldavia.
Since it seems physically impossible for one human being to handle all those calls/chats, it must be a hyper-advanced AI that has been programmed with a Moldavian accent for unknown reasons.
Sometimes it is efficient and solves the problem, sometimes not. The machine learning continues apace.
At some point in the future, Ludmila will rapidly solve all technical problems.
I usually get Indian accents. Sometimes their accents are very thick and I repeatedly have to ask them to slow down and speak as clearly as possible. Often I wish my Gobhi was with me. She speaks fluent Hindi and I often think that would makes things much easier and faster.
NOTE- I’m not saying anything negative about immigrants to America speaking with an accent, or people in other countries speaking English with an accent. (To the extent I can speak for him) Jackmannii is not either.
However, if the primary duty of a job is speaking English to callers from America it is reasonable to expect workers who can understand English and speak it intelligibly.
I have no issues with Ludmila. She is pleasant and tries, often successfully.
It’s just weird that I recognize her voice from interactions with customer service/tech support at multiple different companies. She has a unique way of pronouncing my first name.
She’s into you. You should ask her out. If she is unwilling to commute from Moldavia, you should propose phone sex.
Wow, so lazy, the shelves just sit there then.
I shouldn’t be bothered by this but it makes me disproportionately upset.
I occasionally order Pizza from Domino’s Pizza. That’s fine. The prices are good and I like the pizza–not the best but a familiar taste.
They occasionally send me spam about my free pizza that I need to claim. That’s it. Nothing more. Once a month or so.
But…
There is absolutely no way to cancel my account
There are no “opt out” or “unsubscribe” links in the email
The email taunts me by saying “you cannot unsubscribe from these emails” and say to go to my pizza profile and opt out.
But on their website there is no way to opt out.
Two different “contact us” numbers just dump you when you try for customer support.
Their support bot (which one of the “contact us” numbers says to use before hanging up) is the stupidist bot in 2025. And in order to get a human to look at it I’d need to fill in lots of personal information. Nope.
Anything you read online while Googling how to cancel membership, is a lie. They talk about “opt out” or “cancel” links that just don’t exist.
It’s clear that they are intentionally obfuscating things. This really gets my goat.
All I can do is ignore their spam forever.
Hmm spam on pizza.
I hear it’s a very Hawaiian thing. Also, given the Dole plantations, is pineapple.
You either like it or you don’t… but unless it is put on your plate and your parents slap you across the back of your head to force you to eat it… ‘what’s it to you?’
Nowhere does it say it has to be your personal information.
My alter ego lives at a combination of my old addresses - # from address 1, street from address 2, etc. Unless, he’s recently moved to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in Washington D.C.
Does that still work? I used to do that when applying for loyalty cards at stores I shopped at often. Then, the computers started rejecting applications with an invalid address.
Most of the time I avoid personal information for such things, but a pizza place tends to need your address and phone, and they have the email.
Shame on me for trusting a brand I have known all of my life and setting up an online account so I could use the coupons (I grew up a few miles from the very first Domino’s, and even made a pizza there when we visited when I was in Cub Scouts).
Last Thursday I applied for survivor benefits on my wife’s SocSec account, which I hadn’t previously been entitled to because of my Federal pension. The phone call went well; I was given the amount of my monthly benefit and the unexpected news that I would be received retroactive benefits to last September. As requested, on Friday I mailed in the requested copy of my marriage certificate. I even checked my online SSa account which confirmed that the claim was being processed.
So today I get a letter from the Social Security office and the first thing I see is “claim denied”. After jump-starting my heart I look more closely and realize that what is being denied is entitlement to SSI benefits. Apparently filing for SocSec benefits automatically includes a claim for SSI, which I’m obviously not entitled to. It’s entirely possible that this was mentioned during the phone interview and just flew over my head.
From the rest of your post that I “…” ed, I wonder if you’ve considered the possibility the email is true spam from someone looking to harvest your personal information via that form on their fake Domino’s website.
IOW, maybe it isn’t Dominoes that are being jerks, but instead is some scammers in Bulgaria.
Nope. It”s spam from Domino’s. The sneaky attitude of the emails is mirrored on their website as you try to find the nonexistent unsubscribe and cancel options. They are simply not acting in good faith, and it bothers me.
Sic the FTC on them. Oh, wait … Dayum.
It finally stopped raining here in KY, after 7.43 inches of rain fell in four days.
Our basement is pretty well dried out thanks to our emergency acquisition of a submersible water pump, and we only had to pay a plumber to reset the water heater after it was superficially flooded. The freezer and its cargo of essentials including many bags of frozen home-grown eggplant survived.
Life is grand.
I have a special Yahoo email account that I use whenever I need to provide an email address and I don’t really trust who is requesting it. It’s a totally valid address, I just don’t use it for anything that I want to receive email from. Every time I check it, I have thousands of spam messages that I’m glad didn’t go into my real email accounts. Also, all of my personal info provided for that email account is fake, including my name.
Just make a real free email account somewhere and change your email address for your Dominos account to that. And you can keep that in your back pocket for any similar situations if they pop up in the future.
(I order from Dominos too but they don’t spam me unnecessarily IMO, and I get some decent deals from them.)
Nope, not looking for solutions. I used my proper spam email address–it even has “junk” in its name–and did everything the best one can do with a pizza place that still needs your real address to deliver.
And I did mention that the emails are probably only monthly–hardly a blip on the spam radar.
It’s just their attitude that gets under my skin. Their behavior is super sketchy, and definitely planned out in a way to never let you go.
I will totally forget about this…until the next reminder arrives.
