> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > medium, two-topping pizza from Domino’s, an order of hot wings, an order of lava cakes, tax, delivery fee, and tip costs around $45. No, thank you That would be $18 for the food~each of those items is currently $5.99. Adding 25% for taxes and tip gets it to $22.50. What’s the delivery fee? I know because we had Dominos last night. We did carry out no contact car side pickup to avoid the delivery fee/tip. It was less than $14 for two medium two topping pizzas. Of course I’m in the middle of the flyover Midwest. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > We used to have Little Seizures Had them last month. Never again. The $5 ‘hot n’ ready’ is now $8, the help is surly and the quality (previously passable) has gone downhill into no longer better than no pizza at all. Crazy bread, used to be $2 is now $4. That’s using Covid inflation to excuse profiteering. Wage and ingredient costs have not doubled or nearly doubled. They are not paying their help twice what they did when pizzas were $5. I’ll just save up and use Dominos’ specials to get $6 pizzas thank you-and they’ll have two toppings, which is good enough to me. Green pepper and onions please. Occasionally green pepper any mushroom. My misguided roommate gets Canadian bacon and pineapple on hers. We don’t share. Now, git off my lawn! ---

This discussion has reminded me that I once had lunch with our friend BBBoo at my favorite pizza place. It was wonderful to meet her in person ---

Yikes! Domino’s really varies their price depending on locale. Makes one wonder if all the pizza places get together and set a minimum price. I could ship you some but they wouldn’t be fresh by the time they got there. ---

I rarely eat pizza anymore. If we want pizza, I can order from Bordertown Pizza, getting a Mediterranean salad instead of wings (and no lava cakes) for less if I pick it up. ---

{ _whine_ } I’m hot, and kinda bored. I need to eat but am not hungry. I wanna rest but I’m not really sleepy. If I was a toddler, I’d be fussy and cranky and crying a bit at absolutely nothing for a minute here & there. { _whines in adult_ } ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > If I was a toddler, I’d be fussy and cranky and crying a bit at absolutely nothing for a minute here & there. I’d join you in a chorus. And I want my mommy. If you’d have known her, you’d want her, too, and she’d have gladly taken you under her wing. I decided I’d better eat, as I get migraines if I don’t. I had a banana. That went OK, and I even felt a bit better, so after that, I had boxed mac and cheese, figuring that’s nice and bland. Big mistake. I do not like this, Sam I am. I also have that yucky feverish feeling again, though it’s not that bad. I told my son if I’d known it was going to be like this, I’d have nixed the infusion. He said, “It’s better than osteoporosis.” He recalls Mom’s neighbor, who had it so severely, she couldn’t be hugged, and got skull fractures from brushing her hair. Still, she was over 90 by then. I’m not too sure my stomach will make it out of my sixties. OK, enough whining. See you in the flip side! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ignored-chores-in-the-mmp/969680.md?page=14)
