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.
My wife suggested I should have used the app too, but I do not want to have to download an app to do something I almost never do and, more importantly, I also don't want to give corporations even more of a chance to mine my data. That shouldn't be considered as an option IMO. I used to take my daughter to Taco Bell fairly regularly and yes, I could have saved some money using their app. But there's a reason you're saving that money and it's not out of the kindness of their hearts.
You don't have to use the app, the website is fine. However, with dominos if you aren't using one of their coupon "deals" you're overpaying for their food.
Their whole gimic is how the "coupons" save you money, but it's not fast food prices without them.
While I agree you shouldn't have to use their shitty app, thats just how the world works right now. Until we get any legislation to combat these shitty practices we can either boycott, or conform. And not downloading their app but giving them more money is still conforming.
That is totally valid, I also don't have a lot of apps on my phone. See buddy, when we were young, back in the good days, they actually invented the internet. So I was 18 when websites started to hit the every day market. Everyone and their mother had a website. I ordered a pizza from pizza hut in 1994 via their fucking website. You are 3 years younger than me or something. I was literally going through my prime as a human with web and networking exploding on the side. People like us built a lot of these damn websites.
I don't understand why everyone nowadays wants to download software to their phones full of private data to display a website. I get that part. It's frustrating. But man stop arguing like your dad gosh ohhh wHaT tHe FuCk iS a WeBsItE I'm nOt A pIzZa oRdErInG eXpErT you make me shake my head... You try to cover up with your age on these young folks, decepting them in favour of hiding your incompetence which you are fully aware of and embarrassed about to a point it makes you act up like this. You can just go on the damn website and redeem their goddamn coupons. There are fucking coupons on their shitty site and there are even more fucking shit sites only providing coupons as their ungodly content.
Just knock it off and own up man. It's not too late. Don't pull your age on this. Leave us out of this mess. Yeah you are not a boomer, but you sure act like one. People like you are the reason all these young people coming through at the company always assume I'm an idiot from the last century. Your behavior in this thread makes me shiver.
I will once again ask how I was supposed to know that online coupons exist for pizza when I have literally never used the internet to order pizza before. None of you have explained it to me. Was it supposed to be beamed into my skull?
No you visit the Website and read the big fat banner that they pop into your brain.
