Note I did not buy any food for myself.
To head off questions:
-
No, I couldn't cook for her. I'm suffering from a long-term illness where I can't eat solid foods and am extremely smell sensitive. My wife is at a funeral, so I had to order food.
-
She's extremely picky and refused to let me order anything but pizza.
-
We live outside of town, in a not very big town, with very few pizza delivery options, and they're all at least this expensive.
-
No, I didn't also have to buy her the cheesy bread or the second topping or the sauces, but it's nice to get my daughter a treat and that is no excuse for the order being that expensive.
-
We're in Indiana, so this should be ludicrous in terms of pricing. This used to be the pricing I would expect when we lived in L.A. and ordered from a good local place rather than a chain.
Edit: Turns out what I should have been infuriated about is people repeatedly telling me to get takeout and having to repeatedly explain why that wasn't an option, having people not believe I'm sick, and being repeatedly berated for not magically knowing food coupons exist on the internet when I never order food on the internet. Oh right, and also being a bad parent for not forcing food my daughter doesn't like down her throat or starving her if she won't eat it.
By the way, I have another thing to be infuriated about. A huge storm came in and this happened to our trees. I assume I will start being berated for not cutting them down before that happened, but because I have no power or internet at home and have to go to the library to post, your further posts telling me what an idiot I am and how I'm an awful parent and how I'm not really sick will take me a while to read. Sorry to ruin your day. Maybe you'll find someone else to treat like shit.
Anyway, have fun telling me I'm the worst person on Lemmy, just don't expect a quick reply.
Oh, and do tell me how stupid I am for not knowing that people who clear up and fix such damage have coupons on their website.
You mean the deal where I have to order two of something and pay $7 for each one? That would have been more expensive and a waste of food.
....buddy...
Don't complain about how things work when you don't know how things work XD
Click on the 2 or more deal and do some exploring, this is a learning moment that will revolutionize your Domino's experience forever!
Again, why is it my fault that Domino's is taking advantage of my not knowing how their system works? The last time I ordered a pizza before this, you had to do it by phone. I don't order pizza. So why should I be expected to know how ordering pizza over the internet works? Am I supposed to absorb the information indirectly somehow?
What exactly do you have to gain by defending corporate deceptive practices?
Buddy I'm not "defending deceptive corporate practices", I'm trying to teach you how to use the deals they shove in your face so you can save money.
Domino's isn't "taking advantage of you not knowing how the system works" when they plaster the deals in all caps on their homepage. They want you to use the deals, and make it very easy to use the deals.
I would think there'd be less obstinate boomerism on Lemmy, but apparently not. You have eyes, you have fingers, and presumably a brain. You could have used them, you didn't. You paid more than you had to as a result. You now have the option to learn, and not make the same mistake again.
Considering people keep insisting I do something I didn't know was a thing I could do and berating me for not knowing it, I think getting mildly annoyed by people saying that, and the people telling me to get takeout when I can't, is damn reasonable after dealing with people saying it for a day.
I'm sorry I don't know what I don't know and I'm tired of getting berated for not knowing what I don't know as if I somehow should have known it through osmosis.
I'm not a boomer, I'm 46. I just don't order pizza. Hence my putting that in the headline. I probably won't order pizza again either unless something unexpected like this happens again.
I feel for you dude, the pizza should just be the fair price without having to dive into some stupid deal system. Just sell the pizza for the price of the damn pizza. The other guy sounds like a silly domino's evangelical lmao. "I have dominos wisdom, hear my words!!"
Such a weird thing to defend their business practices, it's not even quality pizza.
Hey man, just wanted to say that I'm on your side
I hate it that prices are getting somewhat hidden or I need to shop in a specific manner to get a discount.
Just tell me your fucking price and then I'll decide, if it's worth it for me.
I don't care to read or search through your website for offers. I want to order what I want and that's fucking it
Thank you. Exactly.
But in the picture you can see CHEESEY BREAD is among the options you can choose along with pizza. So the TWO THINGS you did order would count for the TWO THINGS you need. It would therefore be cheaper and the same amount of food. You're getting mad at people in the comments because you didn't take the time to read, nay, even LOOK AT THE DAMN PICTURES of the deal.
What size pizza? How many toppings?
And, yet again, I didn't know these coupons were a thing.
