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.

    The thing about inflation is the food is not expensive, its the value of money that’s gone down. Its salaries that are way too low to afford the new prices. The food isn’t too expensive - employees are being underpaid.

  Yea, pizza places have gotten out of hand in recent years.

  Adding a delivery fee (which doesn’t go to the driver) from locations that only do delivery.

  How about fuck you and your delivery fee. Which is why I refuse to have pizza delivered any more. Plus they invariably get lost, though we’re a few hundred yards from their store.

  Little Seizures sells the same pizza for half the price, or less, than Papa John’s, before those fees are tacked on.

      How can a grown ass man be so insecure about himself. Like what’s the problem with saying fuck I ordered a pizza and damn those fuckers got expensive? Where are we heading, that a grown adult needs to intro everyone with a letter long disclaimer, to justify he bought a pizza.

  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.

  source

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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?

    It’s real boomer/privileged energy expecting that to just be done for you.

    I never asked anyone to do it for me. So I didn’t expect anything.

      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.

  If you want to get a fair price at Dominos, you have to play their game. At least look through the website for special offers on pizza, because the “menu prices” are 2.5x higher than the average price a person pays. After that, if you still want a lower price, search the Internet for coupons (although that doesn’t work as well nowadays since they use account-locked rewards systems instead of coupons).

  Even if you play the game, it will still be more expensive than you remember, due to massive inflation.

  I don’t go to Dominos any more due to repeated bad customer service, their website malfunctioning in a lot of ways, and the last time I visited the store it smelled strongly like ammonia.

    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 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.

      source

      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.

      Ideally they would charge less, but people are willing to pay the higher prices, so they charge the higher prices. We live in a capitalist society, and they’ll increase the prices as high as the market can bear.

      A lot of companies increase their prices but have coupons that bring the price down. Easy way for them to make more money, as not every customer will use the coupons.

  Kinda shitty that Dominos has it set up so that tip is calculated on top of the delivery and service fees. Tipping on the value of food, I understand. Tipping on the cost of those other fees is double dipping and bad faith in my opinion.

  Seriously, “y’all charged me a service fee to deliver my food? Cool! Let me tip you for that!”

  Having done time in the service industry, I have no problem tipping where it’s warranted, but you’re tipping the Dominos corporation for their fuckery at that point, not the driver

  Reading the comments about Domino’s coupon obsession, I feel like giving an economics story about when JC Penney said nuts to sales and coupons and nearly went bankrupt.

  Corpos in food and retail found that overpricing things then hitting you with deals and coupons caused American audiences to feel like they were getting a good deal. 15 buck pizza for only 6 dollars? Sounds like a deal until you realize that it’s really cheap to make thanks to suppliers and premade frozen pizzas. But if they always price it at 6 bucks, you’re gonna raise an eyebrow.

  What if you don’t do that? JC Penney had that idea a few years ago, since their industry basically priced jeans for 100 bucks and then said they were 70% off almost every day. So they tried everyday low prices and… they nearly bankrupted themselves. Lots of factors, but their main factor was their usual clientele thought they weren’t getting a deal even though the prices were cheaper than competitors (while not really attracting a new audience savvy enough to know sales are a scam).

  Point is, Domino’s is in a cycle of coupons or bust. It’s a shame you don’t have good pizza options at reasonable prices nearby, though, and a shame the good old days of free delivery seem behind us.

  source

  • stevestevesteve@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I hate how people mix up correlation and causation with JC Penney and it’s couponless trial. It was ALREADY very much a failure when it decided to try removing coupons - that’s why they tried it. It didn’t make enough of a difference to pull them out of the nosedive they were in.

    It’s not that not doing coupons doesn’t work, it just didn’t save a failing business.

  I went online to place an order for pizza recently. Jets pizza. Everything was super overpriced and so one small pizza and 6 piece wings was $50 after tax and fees, not including tip which I usually do $10. So $60 for one person. I scoffed at the price then hit ‘submit’.

  I was then hit with the ‘order does not meet minimum for delivery’. They had a $40 minimum which does not include delivery fee, tax, and tip - I was at $38 something.

  I almost added some dipping sauce and sent it through but I felt so violated by the $40 minimum which was actually a $60 minimum that I just gave up.

  I live in one of Germany’s largest cities, and while this is high, it’s not outrageously high.

  I guess to me what sticks out the most is the expected 20% surcharge for “tips” (that get collected by the bosses indirectly anyways as they just underpay their slaves enough to make up for the tips they’re getting). That’s not normal here. You tip for good service, if you pay in cash you also tip to round usually, and you tip if there’s some other outstandingly positive thing about it. I really hate how in the US it’s become so expected to tip, while also having fuck all protection for the delivery drivers, who ought to get a wage where tips are a bonus, not an expectation.

  Although I will also say that since I live basically next door to a Dominos, I always pick up, which is ~25%-30% cheaper than delivery. Plus no delivery charge, but that’s based on distance I imagine.

  When I tip the driver in a delivery I literally just give them cash when they deliver (and only if they actually arrive with some promptness, not if they come half an hour late with a cold pizza).

  It’s a habit I got into when living in the UK because there, like in the US, lots of companies just take the “tip” money and keep it if you tip whilst paying with card.

  Granted, I like to pay stuff with cash, both for privacy reasons and because it has actually be shown that people in average spend less if they pay in cash (something to do with the feeling of giving something physical away)

  We order dominos kinda regularly. Check their coupons next time. I can tell you that I’ll get a large 5 topping, stuffed cheesy bread and wings for that price or cheaper. And I’m your friendly neighbor to the west, not in a major or midsized area.

  The issue isn't the prices. It's that the prices go up but income doesn't. Get out the pitchforks, but let's go after the real villains.

  Dominos is outrageously expensive if you don’t shop the deals.

  When I was in college, I’d get dominos with my roommates when they had the 20$ special, which would be about 30$ after tip and delivery. The special had 2 medium pizzas, garlic knots, cinnamon twists, and soda.

  After I moved back home, I learned my local dominos doesn’t always have that deal. I’d get something similar to what you got and I’d be upset that I got less food for a bit more…

  Now what really pisses me off is the high end neopolitan place near me is cheaper on their dinner special days, where you can get 2 personal pizzas that taste so good I’d accept it as proof that god is real for about 25$ including tips and gas money.

  That’s crazy… I can get more than 3 times as much food from Domino’s in a HCOL area just by paying attention to the online deals and picking it up instead of delivery.
