That’s the roulette part. Not everyone wins!

Aye hardly seems good spirited when not taking either of those into account would result in unpalatable food a high percentage of time.

You think this roulette is mean spirited you should see the Russian version.

> would result in unpalatable food a high percentage of time That's the point. Do you understand what 'roulette' means in this context? When you play roulette you more often than not lose all your money and have nothing to show for it. Like an inedible pizza. If you made it so you always got something nice to eat... it wouldn't be roulette, would it?

You understand the difference between something that's not very nice and something which someone cannot possibly eat at all, right? As a vegetarian, I can imagine some pretty gross combinations of pizza that I still can eat, but I'm at a massive disadvantage if I get something I cannot eat at all.

The estimates are real and from Dominos. Thanks for the feedback, that's a good catch. I'll be adding that verbiage.

I wonder of those involve Dominos "deliverator" van. http://www.dominosdxp.com/

I saw Dominos pizza tech guy interviewed a while back about their delivery bags. He spoke of one day of not just keeping the pizza warm, but having it having cook while being delivered. Custom vehicles could make that happen and I'm sure somewhere in that organization someone is trying to mount a pizza oven in a 92 chevy.

It would be a pizza-loot-box. That actually sounds like a nice product.

Coming to terms with missing out is part of abstinence. If you're going to entitle yourself to the accommodation of others every step of the way, then maybe you aren't cut out for it.

I've managed ok for 20 years, thanks. I'm asking for one checkbox, just one, it's hardly asking others to bend over backwards.
