Three years I sacrificed to care for my disabled mother. On March 29, I found my mother unresponsive in her chair. She was not breathing and had no pulse. She remained in a coma until April 1st 2009 when, while at work because I was understandably in a financial jam, I was notifed that the doctors had a final prognosis and need to see me that day at 5:30 to discuss whether to terminate life support or not. That day I was scheduled off at 5:00pm. Now due to the nature of the business sometimes rushes hit and we have to stay later than scheduled to deliver pizza. I politely asked my boss, the owner of the store, Blain Petersen, if I could get off by my scheduled time. I informed him of the reason why. His response was sharp and nasty: "If you want time off I'll give it to you: You're FIRED!"
At 5:30 that day, after my boss fired me, I was given the news: "Your mother is completely brain dead." The next day at 2:30 pm, an hour after we terminated life support, she died.
I have already found out that according to Federal and State laws I have no rights or legal recourse. The Dominos Pizza offices refused to return any of my calls.
This is just a note to remind consumers of the complete lack of humanity that men like Blain Petersen and Dominos Pizza are infected with. They don't qualify as human beings or as a reputable business with even the remotest sense of compassion. They are truly slimy, steaming sacks of dung.
