A MUM who spent the last of her cash on a Domino's pizza for her kids called cops when the order was cancelled and she was not refunded until the next day.

The mum of three was left with just £7 in her account after splashing out £37 on the delivery.

The woman, known only as Clair, said the family had to have "crisps and things" for dinner after losing the costly order from the Plymouth branch.

She told the Metro: "I phoned the police to ask if they could help, I was nearly crying. They said there was nothing they could do and I had to phone Domino’s.

"The manager didn’t even offer for me to go to the other store. I said can I come and collect the money back from them and they said no they can’t do that. I had £7 left in my account.

"I used the last of my money to pay for the order that they accepted, they left it an hour before phoning me up to tell me I couldn’t have the order because the oven had broke.

"I explained I had no more money, I said 'so you going to leave my kids with no food to go hungry. That’s it then, they don’t get to eat tonight'."

Domino's refunded the money the next day but Clair said it took five days for the bank to process it.

She said she wished she hadn't been able to see the image of disappointment on her five-year-old's face.

A spokesperson for Domino’s said: "Our store oven broke, so we apologised and refunded the customer the following morning."

And how a disgruntled family staged a sit in because their delivery arrived late and cold.

Fay James and her family had ordered a medium pizza, chicken strips, garlic pizza bread, two portions of doughballs and wedges from Domino's in Northbrook Road, Gloucester.
