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.

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.
