Domino's manager allegedly went on violent rampage over parking spot
A Domino’s Pizza manager has allegedly gone on a violent rampage after someone took his parking spot.
Elisha Park said she returned to her car parked near a Domino’s in Melbourne’s east after working a 10 hour shift to find it blocked by another car.
She said she asked the staff at Domino’s and discovered the car belonged to the middle-aged manager.
When she asked him to move it she claimed he became aggressive and accused her of taking his spot.
“He yelled at me ferociously, staring me down, whilst the coworkers snickered and laughed in the background,” Ms Park wrote in a post on Facebook.
“I sincerely apologised and kindly asked him again to move his car. He told me he was too busy when there were clearly workers at the back doing nothing and told me it wasn’t his problem.
“I stood in the store crying, but he didn’t budge and kept “working”. I waited for an hour.”
When she walked outside she learnt her and a co-worker’s car had been vandalised.
Both had red paint saying ‘do not park’ on the windscreens and the same words had been keyed on to the bonnets and the sides of the car.
Melbourne media contacted the Domino’s manager, but they would not confirm or deny the incident.
Victoria Police confirmed they were investigating the incident.
Ms Park claimed the spot wasn’t theirs and she had permission from the actual owner of it to park there.
“I had never felt so much anger and fear towards one person. I’m still shaking and at a loss of words from what I just experienced,” she said in the Facebook post.
Domino’s Facebook account has been flooded with people attacking the restaurant and its manager, vowing to boycott the chain if they do not act.
The company responded to its torrent of abusers on social media, with identical replies.
“We appreciate your concern. This matter has been escalated to Domino’s management and head office. We are taking this very seriously and we are currently investigating this matter with the store and the local police. We have also been in contact with the people involved with this matter,” the reply read.
