Anti-Consumer Ad Block and Online Ordering

Went to order a pizza for lunch as I was hungry and lazy to make anything upstairs.. apparently Dominoes (and I assume others) are playing with user experience regarding the browser and plugins such as adblock (FF + uBlock lite & reg). I couldnt order anything on that menu page as no images. Hmm, maybe their site is having issues. Tried Chrome, worked fine. So I went and turned my adblock off & on and rechecked. Yup. Thats the deal. But wait, there is more. I installed ublock in Chrome and reran the web page. The page rendered fine.. Back to FF with ublock.. no images of the food. Try for yourself. Try and order a pizza on Dominoes with FF and an ad blocker. I understand the reasons but they don't sit right with me.

Firefox, UBO, CanvasBlocker. I entered my address, put one pizza in the cart, navigated the upsell and contribution ordeals and made it to checkout. Page loaded fine and it looked like I could check out. It's not that I never see what you're describing - I do all the time. I didn't get it here tho.
