    I tried a Domino’s online coupon one day a few years ago. The online coupon was half off for a medium pizza. The full price in store was $6.99 at the time.

    So I went through all the shit to download the app and place the order, to pick up ourselves, no delivery.

    But what do they do? They jacked the OG price up to $13.99 because we used the app, and cutting the price by 50% just left us paying the original $6.99

    And they got away with getting our info no less! Same damn price!

    I uninstalled that app real fucking quick!

    Never again.

      Those work by having coupon discounts only discounting from full price - you’re not allowed to stack discounts. But pizza places discount their pizza pretty much always

      I like the fact that in Australia we still have local non-chain pizza places (and fish and chip and burgers places) where they make family pizzas sized for a family (or for one young man) with our own standard toppings which I haven’t seen elsewhere, and they cost less than similar amounts of Domino’s

      Yeah Domino’s has their own thing where you get a decent price if you get two or more similar items for pickup. We typically do 2 medium 2 topping and wings or bread bites for around $20. They have the same deal online or in app but I think the app gives you bonus points or something.

        Years ago before Pizza Hut moved out of my area they had an online deal- 2 medium 2 topping pizzas for $22. I paid online and went to pick them up, but they were out of one of the toppings I ordered, so since they weren’t 2 topping pizzas they wanted to charge me $48 for two non-deal abiding, one topping pizzas. They actually had the audacity to tell me I couldn’t have my pizzas unless I paid the additional $26 in store and they didn’t want to refund me the original $22 either. I’m not usually one to make a fuss in a store but I was not having either of those outcomes. I was making $8 an hour at the time. They tried to steal 3.25 hours from me, because they were out of jalapenos. I’m still salty.

        Did you not read the numbers?

        Well allow me to round up, for convenience sake so you can actually read the ripoff.

        $6.99 ~ 7 - In store price, single medium pizza.

        $13.99 ~ 14 - Online order, what’s half of 14 again?

        We got totally fucking ripped off as they doubled the price just because we used the app!

        I will never, and I mean never go to Domino’s again! Or for that matter ever even use online coupons again!

        It’s all a scam.
