2 pizzas, a small order of breadsticks, and wanted to splurge and get cinnamon sticks.

Pizzas are a “Buy one get one deal!” at 13 bucks a pizza. Figured what the hell, I’ll splurge on desert then with the deal. Get to checkout… hold on a minute… 50 dollars for pizza?! Wait a minute 80 dollars after fees and taxes?!

Usually I only use Doordash for finding something, then I order direct from the store. I just saw the sweet “buy one get one” deal and thought eh, fine I’m here. Right, that’s why I stopped using door dash. I’m not spending 80 dollars on freaking pizza. I’ll just go pick it up and spend a quarter of that price.

At least I would have saved the $3 dollar delivery fee. Phew. Thanks DoorDash.

    How did the sub total become $53.96?

    Breadsticks and cinnamon sticks we $27.96??

    Otherwise, did they do hidden fees in the subtotal, on top of the already hidden fees?

    Y’all need some better laws in the states.

    There is (off the top of my head) only three types of extra charges in Australia for consumers:

    1. transaction fees (provided the lowest you can possibly pay, even with transaction fees, is advertised. i.e. if you accept card only the minimum fee is included in your advertised price)
    2. delivery fees (but strictly speaking you ought to advertise “+delivery fees” in your listed price, and only if it’s variable. And finally,
    3. surcharges based on time. But again, you need to advertise this prominently ahead of payment.

    If I were really splitting hairs some restaurants and cafes that do weekend surcharges reeeeally ought to put it on the front cover of their menus, not just at the till.

    Anyway, what you have in comparison is maddening.

    Taxes? Yeah, that should be in the prices. “Fees”?? Yeah, that’s part of the price, bud.

    Absolute yikes.
