This is so stupid that I'm not sure it's even blogworthy, but here goes. Domino's is ditching its free delivery.

I believe I'm one of 4 people in the Northern Hemisphere that has never eaten a Domino's Pizza, and judging from the stupidity of this story, I'm not going to. Ever.

You sell the pizza, you set the price. We don't like it, we go somewhere else. It's called capitalism. Look into it.

What gets me is that I've always found a wide variance in pizza cost from place to place, not to mention how much it costs in the first place. How much chicken will $10.99 buy at KFC? I rest my case.

So, tack on a buck (or two) to the cost of the pizza, but don't announce this crap. I'm no marketing specialists, but this just breed bad press.

It reminds me of Jonah's rant about "non-refundable deposits".

We're hungry, dumb and we want our pizza. Add a buck to the cost, deliver it "for free", and let us go about our merry way.

AND!
So up 'till now, there was "free delivery?"
Then why was "carry out" so much cheaper than "delivery" to begin with? What makes the pizza they bring me cost 3 bucks more than the one I drive down to pick up myself? Sounds to me there has always been a hidden "delivery charge" there.

Lying Bastards.
