Comment on 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.

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.

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.

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.
