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.

    “Buy one get one deal!"

    That’s not a deal, that’s a normal sale. Did they actually phrase it like that? “You pay for 1 item, you get 1 item”? What you mean - and what such a wording might mislead you to believe - is “buy one, get one free” (a.k.a. BOGOF)

      That’s a very common deal here in the states. Buy one pizza, get one of equal or lesser value for free.

        the only times I heard it before, it included the clarifying “free”. That was in the - then united - states. " buy one get one" just sounds like either a scam, or tautological…

          Well… It isn’t, you want two pizzas you buy one and… You get another

            Exactly. You buy one and… you get two :) If only there were words for that… Like… Two-for-(the-price-of-)one or Buy one get one free or Buy one get two :)
