If your business plan can't make a profit while paying your people a living wage, than it doesn't deserve to be in business.
Expecting people to live paycheque to paycheque in order to subsidize your desire to be a business owner is the Pinnacle of bullshit.
Pizza Hut is a joke in the bay area and Sacramento area. There are just too many good pizza places. I think it's messed up, but I also think they aren't doing well for more than just the delivery process.
Bay Area pizza is great if you want to spend $45 on a pizza
That's good to hear. I left the bay area almost 20 years ago and I remember there being very little good pizza back then. Don't get me wrong - there was some great food to be found, but the pizza wasn't it
I can always find a slice anywhere better than Pizza Hut.
Look there is always better pizza, but I'm still going to have to buy Pizza Hut once in a while unless The Pizza Shop in SF starts selling stuffed crust
This is exactly why we have the type of shit we have right now. Because stuffed crust is more important than principles. I swear people have no willpower anymore.
I don't get why people like stuffed crust anyways. It sounds like a good idea, but it's trash
Especially PizzaHut’s rubber cheese.
It was fine like 25 years ago when it came out. Tastes have since changed and there’s far more good quality food available even in the middle of nowhere.
Wow you made a lot of assumptions about the type of person I am entirely off the fact that I genuinely enjoy stuffed crust pizza. You think me enjoying stuffed crust means I have no principles nor willpower? You might want to try not judging people so hard over incredibly unimportant things.
Wow… it took you 9 days to come up with that?
And, yes…that’s exactly what it means. I didn’t assume anything. The topic is literally avoiding buying Pizza Hut because of bullshit like this and your response was “But muh stuffy crust!”. I didn’t assume anything. You laid it all out for everyone.
Other places do stuffed crust too.
Just a weird excuse to be shitty.
1 guy isn't going to change corporate America. Real change is only gonna come from execs and politicians, not from the 5 people who start a boycott.
There can be no flood if there are no raindrops.
That saying doesn't work because non-water floods exist
A water droplet ain't gonna form with 5 hydrogen atoms
Wow. The level of pedantry here while simultaneously missing the point is, quite frankly, staggering.
Way to argue semantical nonsense as opposed to the point.
If you actually want cheap shitty pizza, then at least go to Little Caesars and only pay $5 for it
Pretty sure they aren't $5 anymore.
And little caesar's sells cardboard, not pizza. Just eat the box your pizza comes in if you want the Little Caesar's® experience.
It's honestly no worse than pizza hut. It's not great pizza, but the quality is similar for half the price
Sorry, you're wrong.
I think the only people who believe little caesar's isn't shit are those who were raised on it and got used to eating cardboard.
It absolutely is shit. But so is pizza hut. I might give pizza hut a slight edge, but just barely
They're still charging $5 where I live. I can't disagree about the cardboard, but it's hard to beat the calorie/dollar ratio.
Try Tony's pizza from Walmart.
If you're feeling frisky, add your own extra toppings.
Round Table has stuffed crust.
You mean some gimmick no one gives a fuck about? Have you seen a real pizza restaurant sell stuffed crust? I haven’t. And if they did I wouldn’t order it.
You’ll eat shitty pizza that tastes like ass purely because it has stuffed crust.
Bullshit like this is why everything in this country is going down the toilet.
lol someone else made a disparaging comment and was voted into oblivion. I never knew but it seems that people really like stuffed crust pizza.
In a fair economy every business pays for all of their externalities
Honestly I learned how to make bread awhile back and haven't ordered pizza ever since. I can make my own better than they can.
