Domino's Industry in Australia Experiences

  Good Morning or Good Afternoon or Good Evening, 

this post should take approximately three minutes to read from start to finish.

From November 2016 to July 2019, I was employed in Domino's industry in Australia. Overall, I was employed at total of eight different Domino's stores, but I have worked at total of eleven different Domino's stores. Overall, I always just wanted to work so I can get paid and various work schedules has kept me busy. 

I had some great fun times, I had some bad times, I had funny moments, I have faced disappointing customers who have complained about their orders was wrong, I was not supposed to make any friends with several customers but a several customers wanted to become friends with me and catch up with me outside hours of work, and I have faced great customers who always seemed to be happy that I would be their constant delivery driver. 

You may ask me, "Why were you employed at that many Domino's stores?" 

I was employed at that many Domino's stores because each store has gotten me to work for a period of time whether it has been a few short months or it has been more than three months. Most causes for me to change stores is because the team management has been changed, they have dramatically changed my working hours from the weekly income that I can rely on for living and saving, to barely able to afford the cost of paying my bills.

Other causes for me to change different stores was because whenever it was not caused of change of the team management, another store was offering more hours than the current Domino's store that I was employed at and sometimes the Domino's stores would be located shorter distance to commute to each shift. 

You may ask me, "Why is the numbers that I was employed at has different total to how many total of stores that I have worked at?" 

I remembered there was several times that I had shifts when I have been rostered on, and I was expected that I would be working at the Domino's store that I was employed at. Shortly after I have arrived to work and I was about to clock in to start my shift; I have been informed by the store manager for me to go and work at a 

different Domino's store. 

I have been told the main reason why for me to go and work at a different Domino's store. I still got paid for the time that I was working at a different Domino's store and the main reason why was my store manager bas been requested by someone from the management team of the different Domino's store for having a few delivery drivers because they were understaffed on busy evenings. 

While I was employed at Domino's in Richlands, I was not expected to train a new delivery driver one evening because I have reflected from my experience as a new delivery driver that I was trained from someone from the management team. I enjoyed the opportunity to train that new delivery driver. 

I remembered when I was promoted to be a store manager by a store manager within a week after my twenty-first birthday. The store manager has asked me about how I would feel to become a store manager. I know that I would not have enough confidence to become a store manager because when I was asked, I was employed for less than three months as a delivery driver, and I knew that I did not have any experience of being a in-store. 

It was matter of short days when the management has changed, and I was still a delivery driver. Although about three months later, I was employed at Logan Central Domino's store. I was working there for several weeks until the store manager has decided to have a short conversation with me via messages one evening. 

I was informed that the store manager has something to tell me on my next shift and I would have to wait for what he has to say. I kept guessing to myself about what would my store manager has to tell me, and I knew that I did not do anything wrong. When I was about to start my next shift, my store manager has told me that "You are a marketing manager." 

It felt unreal for me and it has taken me to feel reality a week later because I knew that I was not expecting to have a new position at work. I know that I felt happy for not just to be known as a delivery driver, I was also known as a marketing manager. 

I was able to get more hours because I was a marketing manager, and I felt so grateful for all of the opportunities for me to fulfill the responsibilities of both positions (delivery driver and marketing manager) that I have held. I had another opportunity to train another new delivery driver at a different Domino's store, and that was fun because it was on Halloween evening. 

The new delivery driver and I was given some candies from one of the customers and has told us that we can either keep the candies to ourselves or share with everyone who is also working on that evening. We certainly kept the candies to ourselves, and it felt like a great reward. 

Stay Tuned until next time.
