Pizzaliciously Fair

View Comments

I was hungry the other night and decided to order pizza. When I arrived at the Domino’s site, I was greeted by the graphic above. And a bulb went on.

Fairness principle applied at its best – Order any three (or more) items for $5.55 each. For a family or a group of friends this is a great deal provided we need fairness. Lets look at the distributive principles at work here:

  • Parity – Every member is free to choose what they want. Difficult to be jealous of one another.
  • Proportionality – 1 order per person or if more than more, proportionally higher price paid.
  • Priority – Not applicable in this scenario. Any person can choose any item in any given order.
