A Texas nurse is calling for Domino’s to apologize after an employee wrote a “rude” note on a late-night pizza order.
On March 30, an unnamed employee working the night shift at Paris Regional Medical Center in Paris, Texas ordered a meal for the staff from a local Domino’s Pizza.
When the food arrived, a handwritten note was scrawled on the side of a pizza: “We would appreciate it very much if you didn’t wait until 5 minutes before we close.”
According to KTVT, the nurse had placed the order with the pizza chain five minutes before the store closed at midnight.
Kerry Miller, a friend of the nurse, shared the image of the note on Facebook, calling the incident a “disgrace” and urging the chain to “stop the rudeness.”
“Nurses work long hours and eat when they can as they take care of our loved one. A business is open until they close and are in business to service the public,” Miller posted. “Domino's Pizza the nurses on 5 east deserve an apology, and I am sure as much pizza as you can deliver."

The Paris Domino’s franchise location would not comment but company spokesman Tim McIntyre sent KTVT the following statement:
“We do not condone or encourage this kind of behavior or one-sided ‘dialogue’ with our customers.”
But Miller thinks the nurses deserve more than an apology. Said the friend, “I want to see an apology to that hospital. I don’t care if they have to bring a pizza to every floor, those nurses deserve something better.”
