(Not So) Fat Tuesday

3/5/2019

My husband and I decided we would “celebrate” Fat Tuesday today by ordering out for dinner. I had a promo for DoorDash and we could order half an hour before baby’s bedtime to have it delivered just in time to enjoy on the couch with some TV.

We combed through the options on the menu of a local sushi place, where we’ve eaten and ordered a few times before, and after adding $47.00 worth of sushi to the cart on the DoorDash app, it froze.

Several times we tried to refresh it. Over and over we got the same spinning red wheel threatening to take away our opportunity for sushi.

After over half an hour it finally loaded, but the cart was empty. So we started over. Every item we chose wouldn’t load. Then the free delivery promo code was erased. $47.00 went up to $54.00. For delivery sushi... on a Tuesday.

We decided, after all, to forget it. Logically we probably should have given up long ago. But now it is 8PM. And I am hungry. And I guess I’ll warm up leftovers.

That's horrible! Especially when you have a plan, a coupon, and you're hungry. I probably would have just ended up eating a bowl of cereal. Hopefully you get a chance for a Fat Tuesday re-do sometime soon!

So disappointing! I think you should call the restaurant or maybe Door Dash and explain what's happening. Maybe they will give you free food.

Oh, that is SO frustrating! I would have done what you did... gave up and ate leftovers. Or maybe made scrambled eggs! Either way, it´s still so disappointing, especially if you had your heart set on sushi! I just had sushi this past weekend & then bought some again at the grocery store yesterday! Yum!

Booooo! Recreate those sushi plans tomorrow night, no one has tk know you indulged on Tues instead of Wed. And if it makes you feel better, I forget there were paczkis at school today - major fail.

So frustrating! I would have been so hangry by then! Maybe everyone else had the same idea for Fat Tuesday and were all ordering sushi at once. :)
