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.

    Never order dominos without coupons. It’s exponentially more expensive than anything you can get with a coupon.

    Dominos largest profit margins are on orders exactly like this. It’s often more economical to order more food at a cheaper price.

      I just looked on the coupons page on their website. None of the coupons would have applied.

        You’re never going to find exactly what you want, but the 5.99 deal for a medium 2 topping also applies to the cheesy bread you ordered, bringing the total down significantly.

          Dude could have saved like $6+tax and gotten more food, and is still arguing that nothing could have been done…

          Lead a horse to water and all that…

            It looks like it’s now the 6.99 deal

            It’s been 6 or 7 years since I worked for dominoes

            That pick any 2 for $6.99 each deal would have saved you a bundle.

            So would picking it up.

              Again- I am extremely smell sensitive.

              I go into the pizza place, I heave.

              I carry the pizza to the car, I heave.

              I drive with the pizza in the car, I have to keep pulling over to heave.

              Why do any of you find that reasonable? Would you want to do that just to give someone a pizza?

              Yes, I know. The answer is “downvote this comment” rather than accept the fact that it is something I cannot do because of my illness (which I am apparently completely making up).

                  Yep. It’s definitely all a lie. You and the others figured it out. But this is another chance to show off my amazing Photoshop skills.

                  I Photoshop that to pretend I spent all my birthday money on a medical bill. Isn’t that awesome?
