The
driver was dismissed by the company after Imogen Groome, 22, from
Exeter, Devon, was inundated with messages from the man after he
delivered takeaway to her home on Friday night.
The
22-year-old Primark sales associate and Exeter University graduate
feared for her safety after the driver began texting her 20 minutes
following the delivery saying she was ‘beautiful’.
Miss
Groome had already become concerned that night when the driver called
her a number of times to pinpoint her address but was ‘hysterically
laughing’ down the phone.
She told student newspaper The Tab: ‘I’d just come back from a work social and was really hungry. I thought “I’m going to get a pizza, it was almost midnight”.‘I got a phone call and it was this guy giggling down the phone. He said “Hi, it’s Domino’s.” And then started laughing. I asked if he was outside but I went to the door and he wasn’t there.‘So I stood outside the door for ten minutes. Then I saw that he was falling across the road like he was completely out of it with my pizza.’Following the odd exchange she went inside to eat her pizzas, when a text came in from the same number which said: ‘You are so beautiful, God bless you.’
The messages carried on until yesterday morning when Domino’s began investigating the incident.
Miss Groome said: ‘I found it a bit odd and funny at the time. But actually it’s really sinister and freaky and I am really disturbed by what happened. It has made me not want to use Dominos delivery any more.’A spokesman for Domino’s Pizza Group said: ‘We are very sorry to hear about Imogen’s experience, which was wholly unacceptable.‘Following an investigation, the driver has been dismissed with immediate effect. We are in touch with Imogen to help put this right.’
