  • That’s just the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

    Domino’s has had coupons since before the internet existed. You have no excuse. You’ve never seen the coupons at the end of shopping receipts? Stuffed in your mailbox? You know they exist.

    And all those other sites still have discount codes all the time. There’s entire websites dedicated to sharing coupon codes for every online shop.

    The weird thing is, everyone - me included in this thread - has said Domino’s charges too much. As to why they don’t just lower prices? Because then they wouldn’t make as much money off of stupid and lazy people.

    Why don’t businesses include tax with the sticker price? why do they put it as $7.99 instead of $8? because it looks smaller to your reptile brains and encourages overspending. They do it because it makes more money.

    SHOULD they? meh. it would be nice. But also, our smooth brains like finding prizes (discounts) which encourages spending that we might not otherwise do. So they get more money both ways. Basic marketing 101.

    Honestly, as someone with your hospital expenses, I’m not sure why finding ways to spend less money isn’t higher on your things-to-do list, as opposed to moderating Lemmy. I’m not telling you how to spend your time, but you did write a few posts about spending too much money.
