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? ---

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. ---
