That is true. In the 90s, Michael Moore had a TV show where he did a segment showing the actor Yaphet Kotto trying to get a cab in increasingly ridiculous ways and not getting picked up.
Considering people keep insisting I do something I didn’t know was a thing I could do and berating me for not knowing it, I think getting mildly annoyed by people saying that, and the people telling me to get takeout when I can’t, is damn reasonable after dealing with people saying it for a day.
I’m sorry I don’t know what I don’t know and I’m tired of getting berated for not knowing what I don’t know as if I somehow should have known it through osmosis.
I’m not a boomer, I’m 46. I just don’t order pizza. Hence my putting that in the headline. I probably won’t order pizza again either unless something unexpected like this happens again.
Did you read this part about the Eagles?
Ten Commandments
In the 1940s, E.J. Ruegemer, a Minnesota juvenile court judge and member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, launched a nationwide campaign to post copies of the Ten Commandments in juvenile courts across the country. His stated goal was to provide a moral foundation for troubled youth.
In 1956, director Cecil B. DeMille’s epic film “The Ten Commandments” opened across the country. DeMille and Ruegemer drummed up publicity for the film by working together to erect granite monuments of the Ten Commandments across the nation.
Although there is no official record of how many monuments were erected, estimates range from less than 100 to more than 2,000. The Fraternal Order of Eagles kept the project going long after the film opened, and some monuments didn’t get erected until up to 10 years later. Many monuments went up in public places like parks, city halls, and courthouses.[22] On August 30, 1961, the Fraternal Order of Eagles of Texas presented the State of Texas with a 6-foot-high monolith inscribed with the Ten Commandments, which in 2006 became the subject of a divisive and controversial legal dispute (Van Orden v. Perry) that reached the U.S. Supreme Court.[23] The case was ruled 5–4 in favor of the defendant, the State of Texas, and the monument was allowed to remain on the grounds of the State Capitol.
That seems relevant.
Don’t complain about how things work when you don’t know how things work XD
Again, why is it my fault that Domino’s is taking advantage of my not knowing how their system works? The last time I ordered a pizza before this, you had to do it by phone. I don’t order pizza. So why should I be expected to know how ordering pizza over the internet works? Am I supposed to absorb the information indirectly somehow?
What exactly do you have to gain by defending corporate deceptive practices?
I’m not seeing where it says a medium pizza. It also doesn’t say how many toppings, but I’m guessing one.
On top of that, it’s a waste of food to get a medium pizza for one person.
You mean the deal where I have to order two of something and pay $7 for each one? That would have been more expensive and a waste of food.
I just looked on the coupons page on their website. None of the coupons would have applied.
I just looked at the coupons tab and none of them apply to what I ordered.
My lack of knowledge that they exist?
I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don’t usually do.
When you’re constantly oozing slime, a towel won’t help.
- 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
This petition led to a board meeting where other parents complained, with one calling gender-neutral bathrooms a “safety issue,” another saying it’ll “confuse” kids, and another one referring to the family as having “satanic ideas.” Only one parent spoke out in support of the family.
Yeah, gotta keep kids safe from those six-year-old rapists.
The real question is how much of that time is extended by decades in a few seconds by being a mental prison?
Sorry, why is it my fault to know that they offered discounts? Why should they offer them in the first place? Why not just charge that amount if they can afford to? Is it because you have to enter extra information for those coupons to work for them to harvest your data?
Oh the shit fits the right will throw over this…
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?
