I hear you, but OP already said he didn’t use the internet to make the purchase. Honestly, even as a millennial I order out so infrequently that I probably wouldn’t use their site either. Yes, the economic system that has created this reality is the main issue, but that doesn’t mean it’s incorrect to be frustrated at Dominos.

What’s mildly infuriating here is OP… People are trying to explain how you could have saved almost 1/3 of your purchase price and you just argue with them and keep shouting from your soapbox.
Unfortunately, price shopping is a part of every transaction if you are trying to get the best deal. If you aren’t invested enough to read the largest banner on the shop website to save almost 1/3 of your total, then getting the best price was clearly not a concern when you ordered. Yes, you are expected to do that yourself, just like buying anything else in the commerce system we have been using for decades. It’s real boomer/privileged energy expecting that to just be done for you.

he DID use the internet. He used their website, and still ignored all their deals.

Because I wasn’t trying to get the best deal, I just wanted some damn pizza and, as I have already said, why can’t Domino’s just charge that price? Why is a coupon needed? Please explain to me why that should be necessary rather than Domino’s just charging the lower price, since they obviously can afford to?
I never asked anyone to do it for me. So I didn’t expect anything.
Is it privileged to have people do it for you when you never asked them to?

then why are you mad that you didn’t get the best deal?

I feel like people have to be purposefully missing the point to make comments like this.
You used to be able to just order pizza and it be a reasonable price. I’d you have to do research and build out a coupon spreadsheet just to get a responsible price, that’s a problem.

This post is a good mildly infuriating post. The pizza does cost too much.
However, it also seems like the poster wasn’t ready for discussion when posting to a discussion board.

Exactly, thanks god. Is mildly infuriating read comments with people reasoning the late stage capitalism practice with basically “git gud” mentality

Idk in the days where you had to call in you still had to ask if they had deals… Otherwise you’re paying menu price (unless the cashier was feeling extra nice)

You are expecting dominos to do it for you. That’s literally what you are asking. They aren’t going to do that for you because they make more money if you ignore the “deals”. Even a tiny barrier is going to keep out some number of people that don’t find value in spending 30 seconds to save 25% on a $30 tab because they have the money to not even notice, which increases profitability. Their line goes up. Our system forces all these companies to worry about that line going up.
That said, they aren’t trying to hide it from you, it is the largest thing on their store page, and their people on the phone will happily tell you about it.
Someone else made the same analogy, it is just like going to a drive through and ordering a burger, fries, and drink separately and not asking for a combo. Same products, but most places it will cost you more to order them separately than to order the combo.
If you are still mad about it, you aren’t mad at Dominos, you are mad at the core of our current economic system.

Yes, greedy companies charge more and are making it harder to get things at a responsible price, that’s the mildly infuriating bit.
