Pizza Hut feeds 4 children for 1 dollar

Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS)
#1

Not my kids of course, but with my dollar!

In checking out of Pizza Hut and Dominos online ordering pages, they both beg for money. I think it’s kind of shitty, but not strongly enough for a full-pit-rant.

At PH, before I click my order button, there’s an option to feed 4 children for 1 dollar if I want to add it. What the hell are you feeding these kids? Would my kids eat it? 'Cause I’m paying $40 + for a family 3 tonight!

And Dominos wants me to end childhood cancer or something, I forget. No, I don’t like childhood cancer, but neither do I like being prompted for donations just because my wallet’s out.

We donate a lot of money to 4 different causes in the course of a year. College education kind of money. Now that Jr. has started UGA this year, we may have to change some things around.

My point is, I donate to charity, and I hate being prodded out of nowhere for money, and made to feel bad if I don’t participate. Yes, I know THEY don’t make me feel bad, but I do anyway.

Bastards.

While I fully agree with your main point (it really sucks to get hit up for $$$ every other time I am in a checkout line, all so the company can later trumpet how much “they” raised for charity) I would love to know exactly WTF you ordered for 3 people to rack up a $40+ bill at a friggin’ Pizza Hut?

Yeah that was my though too - aren’t the pizza’s at PH all like $10 now?

#4

Why do you hate children with cancer so much? What kind of heartless person are you?

I don’t know what the OP ordered, but:

2 pizzas - $20-24
2-liter soda - $3
Breadsticks or wings or dessert - $6
Tax - $3-4
“Delivery Fee” - $1-2
Actual Tip - $5
Total - $38-44

It adds up damn quick even for a reasonable amount of food. When I order for myself it’s rarely less than $25, though admittedly that lasts me for 2 or 3 meals.

Not having to clean the spaghetti pot and sauce pot? Priceless! :smiley:
