people who pay full price for corporate pizzas and complain about it are hilarious.
you obviously have internet access. there is no excuse to pay so much. Use their website. Install their app. Even in the 90s pre-internet there were an endless supply of flyer-coupons/discounts.
Full price is a tax on stupid, gullible or the lazy. You paid the lazy tax. 🤷♂️
That all said: yes, the lazy tax / full price prices are insane. I have no idea why anyone would pay them, especially with the difference coupons makes.
also: 1) tipping is a good thing to do 2) if you can't afford to tip, don't tip. If you can, do. I don't factor BS into prices and complaints.
Apologies for being stupid, gullible and lazy for something I almost never do and haven't done in years. Clearly I should keep abreast with the latest pizza ordering trends.
Also, I used the internet to order the pizza, but I sure as hell am not installing their app.
And I did tip them and I can afford it and I wasn't complaining about the tip. Why would I have tipped 20% if I had a problem with tipping?
It's like you didn't read anything I wrote. I'm surprised you didn't tell me I should have gotten carry out.
and to bring up another reading failure on your part (geezus, squid), I didn't say "use the internet" I said "website". website or app, two different options. I didn't you should order both from the website (internet?) AND the app (there's those faulty logic operators again). Either option - one of which you used - would have had vouchers/coupons on banner ads around the page. Bundles listed in with the normal menu. And so on.
But mostly I'm facepalming for you having misread almost every single line in my comment - and then whining about ME not reading. 🤦♂️ ffs, squid.
I said "or", not "and", but if you want to claim all 3, that's up to you.
I didn't suggest you had a problem with tipping. You suggested you had a problem with paying too much overall, and included the tip as part of your rant.
but seriously - given you basically live on the internet these days, what was your excuse for not spending 30 seconds to get a coupon code to put into the website?
My lack of knowledge that they exist?
youre trying to tell us that you didn't know coupons exist? Come on.
this is on you.
yes, full price is insanely expensive, but the fact that anyone would ever pay it - and be in a situation where paying it is worthy of a complaint - is insane.
You were lazy and you paid the lazy tax. You want to call yourself "and" stupid, sure, whatever. But call a spade a spade. Own your mistake and don't blame Domino's.
Internet coupons? No, I have never heard of such a thing. Amazon sure doesn't offer them. NewEgg doesn't offer them. eBay doesn't offer them. Threadless doesn't offer them. I don't buy from anyone else.
I know that you all think I'm supposed to know how to order food from the Internet properly with no one telling me about it. I just want to know how you all think I was supposed to know without anyone telling me.
Now I'm confused if you're being sarcastic or not. Do you think those sites don't offer coupons? (because they do)
I don’t know how many times I have to say I never order food on the Internet, but I still never order food on the Internet Internet. Somehow, I was supposed to find out how to order food on the Internet cheaper by osmosis. That’s what you all seem to be telling me. The weird thing is, none of you seem to be saying that Domino’s is charging too much and then charging people less if they use a coupon, when they could just charge everyone less to begin with.
That's just the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Domino's has had coupons since before the internet existed. You have no excuse. You've never seen the coupons at the end of shopping receipts? Stuffed in your mailbox? You know they exist.
And all those other sites still have discount codes all the time. There's entire websites dedicated to sharing coupon codes for every online shop.
The weird thing is, everyone - me included in this thread - has said Domino's charges too much. As to why they don't just lower prices? Because then they wouldn't make as much money off of stupid and lazy people.
Why don't businesses include tax with the sticker price? why do they put it as $7.99 instead of $8? because it looks smaller to your reptile brains and encourages overspending. They do it because it makes more money.
SHOULD they? meh. it would be nice. But also, our smooth brains like finding prizes (discounts) which encourages spending that we might not otherwise do. So they get more money both ways. Basic marketing 101.
Honestly, as someone with your hospital expenses, I'm not sure why finding ways to spend less money isn't higher on your things-to-do list, as opposed to moderating Lemmy. I'm not telling you how to spend your time, but you did write a few posts about spending too much money.
That is just a lie. Not only had many people not said that and just berated me for not using a coupon, I have asked multiple times now why Domino’s can’t just charge less and not make people use coupons, and no one answers that question they just say use a coupon. but I guess I can’t be as smart as everybody here. Obviously it’s my fault for being stupid. Companies that take advantage of stupid people are right to do so because stupid people are bad people at least that’s what I’m hearing here.
Also- help this stupid idiot out and explain to me exactly what I should have fed my daughter for dinner since I can’t cook or smell most food. (I don't expect you to answer this, I just expect a bunch of downvotes and insults).
where did I at any point offer any culinary advice or criticism?
Are you drunk on pain meds, or confusing me with another poster?
as for being stupid: yeah, probably your fault. I mean, if you are being wilfully ignorant, that's pretty stupid.
≥company's that take advantage...
how do you suggest they take advantage of lazy people without taking advantage of stupid people?
why do you suggest they don't also take advantage of "smart" people (which is, as I clearly said, what they are also doing)?
A continuing factor here, from the start, is you not reading the comments, and instead arguing disingenuously. This seems oddly out of character for you. Just kind of picturing you like Brendan Fraser in The Whale, only with anger and rage of Cartman.
Still no answer. From you or anyone else.
