…instead of 1 large. These dumbasses do it all the time because of a 2 for 5.99 deal. So i have to carry two medium sized boxes that shift in the pizza warmer box and sometimes get smashed making the toppings come off the pizza. Then these moronic bitches call the store to complain because they know I would crush them if they gave me lip at their door.
Just order a large pizza and do half toppings on one side, half on the other. It’s not rocket science and it’s easier to deliver.
I don’t know about Dominos, but I prefer ordering two of a smaller size to one of a larger size split in half because the smaller ones usually cook up better/crispier.
They’re moronic bitches for not realizing Domino’s is a shitty company that can’t provide for decent transport of a promoted item?
And you think they are the bad ones for deciding to complain directly to the store about a valid issue with their delivery, when you clearly have an attitude problem at best and a problem with violent behavior at worst?
I think you misunderstand the purpose of the exercise, your position in this particular transaction, and probably how life works in a consumer-oriented market economy in general.
Dominos gives the following:
Small (10") - Area of 1 is 31.4 while 2 is 62.8 square inches
Medium (12") - Area of 1 is 37.7 while 2 is 75.4 square inches
Large (14") - Area of 1 is 44 while 2 is 88 square inches
X-Large (16") - Area of 1 is 50.2 while 2 is 100.4 square inches
Well, let’s do the Domino’s math. At Domino’s a Large is 14". A medium is 12"
Let’s remember our friend area of a circle equals pi times radius squared:
A 12" pizza has an area of 113 square inches. Two 12" pizzas are 226 square inches, therefore.
A 14" pizza has an area of 154 square inches.
A 16" (X-tra large dominos) has an area of 201 square inches.
So two mediums at Domino’s is still more pizza than an extra large at Domino’s.
And then add in the factor of how much crust you get. If you are a crust-hating family, then maybe the larger pizza is good for you. But we love crust here. With a 16" extra large pizza we get 50 inches of crust. With 2 12" pizzas, we get 75 inches of crust.
I was about to remark that I have no idea where these numbers come from, but I do. You’re calculating circumference, not area. Circumference is 2pir (or diameter * pi). Area is pi times r squared.
Wow. When I order Dominos, I usually get at least 7 or 8 of the $5.99 items. I’d hate to see what my delivery person thinks of me. (OTOH, I’m a generous tipper and they ACT appreciative.)
Do your pizzas come with the topping all smashed up on one side of the box and then you call the store to complain? If not, then I’m sure the driver doesn’t care at all. I just don’t get the OP’s rant. It’s been years since I’ve had domino’s delivered, but is it really a common problem that medium pizzas get delivered with toppings smashed to one side? I would expect not, but I have almost no real-world experience in this. (The last few Domino’s I’ve gotten I’ve carried out.)
