A DOMINO’S customer has criticized the company after it refused to deliver to his neighborhood, sparking feelings of discrimination.
Christian Miller, a resident of Providence, Rhode Island, was shocked when he was denied pizza delivery, solely based on where he lived.

“She said it was because it was unsafe and referred to an incident that occurred with a driver,” Miller told the NBC affiliate. WJAR.
According to the upset customer, the local Domino’s had a rule not to deliver to his street for safety reasons.
However, Miller believed this was harmful to those living in the area.
“I think living with that mindset and allowing it to dictate how we see people, how we see them in their communities, how we define them, is unfair, it is demoralizing and it is not justifiable,” Miller said.
The owner of Pizzeria Gusto, a rival pizzeria, said that although he delivers to the Miller neighborhood, his employees need to take precautions.
“We don’t have a delivery sign on my car to point to, like, ‘Oh, this is the delivery guy,’” the owner said.
Since the ordeal, Miller has attempted to contact Domino’s headquarters to explain the severity of the situation, but has received no response.
“When we allow multibillion-dollar companies to do this, we are allowing them to set a precedence,” he said.
“This is a prevention against race-baiting.”

ANOTHER DOMINO CONTROVERSY
Domino’s recently came under fire after a video filmed at the Amagasaki branch in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, showed an employee picking his nose and wiping it on pizza dough.
In the background of the video, a person can be heard laughing during the ordeal.
After the images began circulating, Domino’s Japan closed the branch and apologized for the “inappropriate conduct” on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“We deeply apologize for making our valued customers uncomfortable,” Domino’s said.
The pizzeria told customers that the person in the video would face repercussions under labor regulations, as well as possible legal action.
The nose was harvested during the preparation of the dough for a 24-hour fermentation process and was discarded before being served to customers.
In its apology, Domino’s Pizza promised that “something like this will never happen again.”
