Dominos :wtf: (pizza, not IBM)
-
So it's a bit late and I need to get some food in before @royal_poet gets home after an exhausting weekend - and she wants a pizza.
So I go to Dominos, pick a medium pizza with things she'll want and it tells me the 'make your own' is £10.99. Fine.
I get to the checkout, and it tells me:
You qualified for a Deal: LUNCH SPECIAL LARGE PIZZA ONLY £11.99 (valid 11am to 4pm only). Saving you £3.87.
How the fuck do I possibly qualify for that given that it is fucking 9.30pm?

Expected IBM Domino, got disappointed.

Nah, we have ITAPPMONROBOT for that.
We do actually have a thing in the office labelled ITAPPMONROBOT but it's not nearly as glamorous as the original. No CD drive trays or anything! Just a homage.

Dammit, I want Domino's now...

That's not the only WTF.
Did you notice that the deal is also only for Large pizzas?

The Dominos deal suggesting thing does that, it's trying to upsell to the large pizza and get the extra £1.

They have pizza in Britland?

Yes, yes we do. They even deliver.

Unless you live in a house that doesn't show up on GPS, and the postcode points to the next road along. Then you have to answer the "where's your house, mate?" call and walk up the track to the main road to meet them.

Up here on the west coast of Scotland we have a large Italian population. We've got pizza like you've never seen outside of Naples.
-
Yeah but it's probably all deep-fried
-
Well. Not pizza but fast food pizza. Good point.
-
Oh man no, sod "fast food pizza", if you want that go to a curry shop.
-
If you guys don't think Dominos is fast food, either Dominos in the UK is VERY different than the one here in the US, or I'd love to see what kind of abomination your fast food pizza actually is.

I think he's on his own with that one.
It's slightly higher quality than the pizza he's thinking of, which comes from the sort of shop you'd only buy food from at 2am while drunk, but it's still fast food.

I was apparently herpa derpaing and thinking that meant the item was discounted because of this, rather than "for just X more you can do this"

Still better than a kebab…

Yes, although I do like the occasional kebab after a night out. Or a kebab pizza.

I try to avoid getting that drunk. Having to hold onto the floor top stop myself falling off it onto the ceiling is not fun.

When I lived in Boston there was some place in Cambridge that advertised soi-disant British pizza, made with cheddar. Sounds horrible.

You need a big sign at the turnoff to your street.
Or to move. Or bribe the post office.

My local curry place doesn't sell pizza.

streetunpaved, unlit track

The kind of savages who call themselves "Cantabridgians".

Quite. On the other hand, there are people in Cambridge who know how to do pizza.

Now I'm hungry, dammit!

It depends on the cheddar. It'd be terrible with a mild cheddar, but with a strong one it's a replacement for the mix of mozzarella and parmesan, at least in terms of overall flavour. I wouldn't make it with a super-strong one though; that'd be overpowering (as full-strength cheddar is almost as strong as parmesan, not that I've ever seen it like that in the US, and when I get it like that in the UK that's a have-on-crackers-only cheese).
