Sorry, why is it my fault to know that they offered discounts? Why should they offer them in the first place? Why not just charge that amount if they can afford to? Is it because you have to enter extra information for those coupons to work for them to harvest your data?

Skill issue.
Check the deals tab on the website, you could have gotten a medium and cheesy bread for at least $10 less that what you paid for this.
Don’t blame the restaurant when you won’t even try to save money.

In my experience, damn near every pizza place has had combo deals and coupons and stuff. And no, I never had to give any extra information or data or app install or whatever that I wouldn’t have had to give for the order anyway. Just say “yeah, add that special to the cart”
Kinda like if you order a cheeseburger, fries, and drink instead of a #1 combo.

You don’t know Domino’s.
spongebue@lemmy.world 5 months ago
That’s true, I have generally gotten my pizza elsewhere (not that I’m an anti-chain purist snob, but there are several options and Domino’s is my least-favorite). If Domino’s is particularly egregious, why was that your choice? Surely you knew that and a coupon wasn’t the only way they could do it?

I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect every person to go through the deals tab. Hell, that’s why it exists rather than just lowering the prices.

The choose 2 for 6.99 seems like it’d work for a you. A medium pizza and cheesy bread for 14 bucks.
You gotta get creative when buying from these chain pizza places. There’s reasonable deals to be found, but they don’t make it easy.
Glytch@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.

Learning to “life-hack” a web site for deals (especially when in a crisis) shouldn’t be a prerequisite for purchasing food at a reasonable price. The onus should not be on the consumer to not get ripped off by the seller.
This is just a continuation of systemic failure of business running rampant on the web without any reasonable regulation to prevent it.

This isn’t like, basic necessities food. This fast food.
The cost is the manpower and prep involved in being able to deliver food, fast.
The deals are there to make you check the rest of the website and be acquainted with their products, in exchange you get a price reduction.
There is no ripping off, you’re just not doing an additional bit of trading. If you don’t want food at the price Domino’s offers nobody says you must purchase from them.

Reading the top bar of a website is not a “life hack” it should be common sense. Generally the “deals” tab is right next to the “menu” tab.
Pizza places don’t hide their deals, they want you to use them and if you call the restaurant and aren’t a jerk the person on the phone they will likely apply a deal that fits your order and saves you a ton.
