In an update, the woman brought to notice that the pizza chain had reached out to her after her concerning tweets went viral and drew police attention.
An official from the said Pizza brand messaged saying, "This is a highly unfortunate incident and is not acceptable at all...Please be assured your voice is heard...With apologies once again." The note also pointed out that an internal action was already underway with Human Resources (HR) against the delivery partner. And purportedly this led to him being sacked from his job.
More details into the incident
Last week, a delivery boy from Uttar Pradesh messaged a female customer hours after delivering a pizza to her and said, "My name is Kabir, yesterday I came to give you pizza...I liked you." This didn't go well with the woman who expressed concerns over a privacy breach.
She questioned the pizza chain over the compromise of her personal details such as her phone number which led to the man messaging her on WhatsApp. "Even if he liked me, this is not the way to confess. It means he has misused the number given to the company for delivery purposes," she said in a tweet while bringing the issue to light on Twitter. "It's not about whether he liked me or he confessed. He has misused my phone number which I have registered at @dominos_india @dominos with trust as a customer. It's a trust breach by the company & its employees," she added.
