    Just ordered a pizza from Dominos (their website has all their stores in the area listed as open). Halfway on my way there I get a call, from that store, saying they're closed and not cooking pizzas.

    Interesting.. I guess Christmas just snuck up on Dominos this year and they couldn't be bothered to update their website. Wish Holidays like that were schedule further out in advance so mixups like this didn't happen :dunno: lol

    Personally I have caught a few decent surveys today but not batches, but I've been working some extra hours for work/drinking rum so I haven't been on batch patrol! Merry Christmas Eve!

    Should I flap my bird wings and bring you over some grub?

    I bet if you complain you could get a couple free pizzas from the inconvenience of you driving there on their mistake.

    Their corporate customer service # is off for the Holidays.. I actually tried calling just to see if the store was screwing with me and just didn't wanna be open or something.. I checked multiple other FF websites and all of theirs reflect X-Mas hours.. I don't understand how it can be possible for a company that big to not be on top of something so trivial lol..

    Some random tips:
    -Keep their requester page open and refresh it once in a while (or use an auto-refreshing extension) to keep an eye on your qual scores.
    -You are your own worst enemy when it comes to quality/spam scores. Don't change your answers every time you see the same question (because you thought it was wrong last time). Giving inconsistent answers is the fast track to getting spammed out.
    -Work from queue or open enough tabs so that you're not submitting with less than 60 seconds elapsed (when you get faster at them).
