Note I did not buy any food for myself.

To head off questions:

  1. No, I couldn’t cook for her. I’m suffering from a long-term illness where I can’t eat solid foods and am extremely smell sensitive. My wife is at a funeral, so I had to order food.

  2. She’s extremely picky and refused to let me order anything but pizza.

  3. We live outside of town, in a not very big town, with very few pizza delivery options, and they’re all at least this expensive.

  4. No, I didn’t also have to buy her the cheesy bread or the second topping or the sauces, but it’s nice to get my daughter a treat and that is no excuse for the order being that expensive.

  5. We’re in Indiana, so this should be ludicrous in terms of pricing. This used to be the pricing I would expect when we lived in L.A. and ordered from a good local place rather than a chain.

Edit: Turns out what I should have been infuriated about is people repeatedly telling me to get takeout and having to repeatedly explain why that wasn’t an option, having people not believe I’m sick, and being repeatedly berated for not magically knowing food coupons exist on the internet when I never order food on the internet. Oh right, and also being a bad parent for not forcing food my daughter doesn’t like down her throat or starving her if she won’t eat it.

By the way, I have another thing to be infuriated about. A huge storm came in and this happened to our trees. I assume I will start being berated for not cutting them down before that happened, but because I have no power or internet at home and have to go to the library to post, your further posts telling me what an idiot I am and how I’m an awful parent and how I’m not really sick will take me a while to read. Sorry to ruin your day. Maybe you’ll find someone else to treat like shit.

Anyway, have fun telling me I’m the worst person on Lemmy, just don’t expect a quick reply.

Oh, and do tell me how stupid I am for not knowing that people who clear up and fix such damage have coupons on their website.

    the issue isn’t you’re lying.

    the issue is you’re complaining about a fault with you, and blaming it on someone else. The fact you’re not taking responsibility is why you’re being dragged through the mud.

    your post should be “oops, I forgot to use a coupon like a normal person and forgot to ask the store if they had any deals. look what my stupidity got me!” and you’d have some chuckles and some commiserations.

    Instead, you’re trying to blame Domino’s for you not knowing that coupons have existed since the 1800s or something.

      Your (and other people’s) answer is “you shouldn’t be stupid.” But I can’t control my level of intelligence, can I? So let’s say for the sake of argument that I have a very low level of intelligence. Why does that give Domino’s the right to take advantage of that and charge me more than smarter people?

      Why are you and others justifying Domino’s charging stupid people more than smart people?

        I love this answer!

        don’t be an asshole, FS.

        You’re not ignorant, you knew coupons existed, you were just too lazy. Lazy people deserve to be taken advantage of.

        And to make matters worse for you, even when shown how to spend less, you’ve actively said that you didn’t want to do that.

        You’re being an asshole. You’re being an attention whore.

          I did not, in fact, know that coupons existed for ordering pizza online, something I have said repeatedly.

          I also never said I didn’t want to do it. That’s just not true. I may have said I don’t plan to order pizza online again, I may have said that I don’t plan on downloading their app, but I never said I didn’t want to do it if I were to ever do so again. Please do not put words in my mouth.

            that is a lie. maybe if you were part of that Amazon tribe that just got Starlink and porn, I could believe that. But it’s such a stupid lie.

            Like you’re saying you knew coupons existed before, but with the advent of the internet, they must have all disappeared?

            I retract my earlier statement - maybe you really are that stupid. I mean, not just ignorant, but actually, demonstrably stupid.

            Now I feel sorry for that Library you’re in.

              I thought I wasn’t a liar. And I was in a library days ago.

              And, again, if I’m stupid, why is it right for Dominos to take advantage of stupid people? Why do stupid people deserve to pay more money? You don’t get to choose your intelligence level. Should all products be priced based on I.Q.?

                  Still didn’t answer. Maybe because you know this is “hail corporate” stuff.
