That seems a rather big privacy issue on Domino's part. I wonder if it also opens the doors to some kind of social engineering attack, with someone pretending to be Domino's asking for money over the phone. As an aside I thought this is rather cool - Pizza Party a CLI for Domino's [this video] (One day I'd like to be able to afford to cron job something like that ;)

Concept (but not implementation) reminds me a little of the old-school Pizza Party terminal app from the '90s: [this video]

Reminds me of the pizza cli app that would order Domino's Pizza. EDIT Pizza Party is what I am thinking about. [this video]
