When faced with a series of unfortunate events, I make a series of poor choices.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices , to Mildly Infuriating in I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

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.

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.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices , to Mildly Infuriating in Look what I got to spend my birthday money on!

at least you didn't tip.

Now I'm confused if you're being sarcastic or not. Do you think those sites don't offer coupons? (because they do)

My real goal is to be so not straight that the only sword suitable for me is a kopesh.

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.

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.

well, they're not straight, and they go nicely with my fedora...

that's why I only use sabres and katanas ;-)

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?

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.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices , to Mildly Infuriating in I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

absolutely. not only that, but it's even worse once you factor in the crust::body& topping ratio.

smaller pizzas have more crust area to topping area. So if you like dry bread, get smaller pizzas. If you like sauce and cheese, get a larger pizza.

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.
