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.
Yes. They don't hide their deals. They put them all in a convenient tab labeled "deals"
Ignoring your rhetoricals
No you don't need to enter more info you just need to look at the website you're ordering from.
You can ignore the fact that Domino's is taking advantage of people for not knowing things all you like. They still are.
By the way, as I showed others, the closest coupon would only get me a medium pizza, which would be a waste of food since it wouldn't get eaten. But that also seems to be irrelevant somehow... that I have to get exactly the order that Domino's wants me to get or they charge me a whole lot more.
People really seem to think Domino's should charge whatever they want as long as the person is below a certain level of intelligence.
Well duh, welcome to capitalism learn to live with or overthrow it. Corps will try to take your money any way they can it's your own responsibility to not let them.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Yes, again, I understand that you and others think that people of low intelligence deserve to be charged a premium for it by corporations. You've already made that clear.
People with intellectual disabilities deserve punishment.
Are you on the Olympic track and field team? Because that was a leap worthy of a gold medal in long jump.
Dominoes has no responsibility to save you money regardless of whether or not you've actually got disabilities, you're broke, or (what I suspect is true in this instance) you're just a quixotic dumbass.
Capitalism doesn't care about you. Work to overthrow it of you don't like it.
Ah, corporations can do whatever they want and that's okay because we live in a capitalist society. What a wonderful attitude.
Correct.
I'm not happy about it, I'm just telling you the truth. If we want to solve the problems we both have with our profit motivated society and the immoral corporations that control it we need to organize to overthrow it and install something better.
Until that happens we have to take responsibility for protecting our own funds and that means taking advantage of whatever we can and paying attention to the places we're buying from to make sure we minimize the amount they are able to take from us.
You seem pretty happy about it to me. You also don't seem like you want to solve anything. You also suggested that Domino's was doing the opposite of something immoral.
So make up your mind.
If you really wanted to solve this problem and weren't okay with it, you wouldn't be berating someone for talking about how it is a problem.
So I have no idea why you're expecting me to suddenly believe you're anti-capitalist after all of these defenses of Domino's business practices. Sorry, you're not going to make me believe you've become someone who is anything but pro-corporate overnight.
You believe what you want, I don't need to explain myself to a fool who can't keep hold of their own money.
Cool. Enjoy your hail corporate lifestyle. Hope that works out for you. I'm sure you'll never get overcharged by any corporation when it turns out you didn't have to be. And if that does happen, I'm sure you'll berate yourself for lacking the intelligence to not be cheated. Because you feel the same way about yourself than you do about a stranger on the internet you know you can get away with berating since you're not in the same room.
