honestly at this point the entertainment value makes it acceptable for me
I’m certainly not going to eat shitty pizza bc of this violent story.
What they serve cannot be called pizza.
That's what I think about literally every ad I see, and yet real data and studies show that advertisements really are worth the billions invested into them each year. We're not immune.
Sounds like something a marketing guy would say, you astroturfing for marketers?
And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!
The mention of pizza makes me want pizza.. but not Little Caesars. It's Big Pizza, working together to up pizza sales in general.
If you go to Spittle Sleazers to buy "food", you're gonna have a bad time.
Being aware still helps.
Little Caesars only had to pay a fine of $24k for having children working the oven.

Which adds on to the $161k they paid a few years earlier for child exploitation.

Which adds on to the $110k they paid a few years earlier for child exploitation.

tl;dr: Little Caesars loves fucking kids over.
Well it's called LITTLE Caesars, not Big Ceasers.
Oh shit! I was barely 15 when I worked there. I ran the oven, and sold pot to the manager lol.
These are franchise run stores, not corporate run stores. This sort of behavior exists across all fast food franchises.
Every fast food place I've ever worked, the owners are trash. They dont work in their own stores except for extreme circumstances. They pay the lowest possible wages and churn through workers all so they can become millionaires. Their personalities were all so toxic that the actual workers prefer them not to be around.
Just one a thousand reasons to only dine at locally owned businesses where the owner is literally working alongside happy staff everyday.
Franchising does not dissolve you of responsibility.
These are Little Caesars and they reflect Little Caesars.
At what point did I say it did?
Franchising makes is all the worse because the corporate brand can claim ignorance.
The problem occurs so often that it's clear that the brand is culpable at the societal level.. If the brands actually cared, this sort of shit would end their franchise. Since the legal system won't fix it, we need to step up and say, "no more" and boycott all franchises.
At that point where you tried to distance them from the company they are.
You seem to be taking my comment as an attack or rebuttal on what you're saying by cherry picking a specific phrase. It's weird and reactionary.
My comment is attempting to expand on what you're are saying by pointing out that those are examples of a problem that is systemic. I am expanding upon the layers involved.
It's not just Little Caesar bad, it's also their thousand franchises. It's a massive problem to keep in check a business model that attracts rent seekers.
At this point the assumption must be that all franchises are committing wage theft and exploiting child labor.
As far as I'm concerned, the only acceptable response is to end the corporate entities that engage in this behavior and criminally charge everyone in the chain. This includes the overseer corporations, if they can control the pepperonis involved in the product they can sure as hell control the treatment of the humans involved.
If you explain bad behavior around here readers take it to mean you're defending that behavior.
For example; I can usually explain why conservatives think and act the way they do but I don't because I'll just get beat up.
Yep. Not my first experience with it here or elsewhere.
I miss the internet that existed before smart phones because of the intellectual dilution they allowed.
Kids today have no idea what it's like to be in an internet discussion that is majority phds and having to up your game to participate.
The vast majority of commenters today would be dismissed as trolls; that bar has disappeared.
Mate I’m in my late 30s. I’ve been online since before the Internet even existed.
No one wants a return to usenet groups and incels circlejerking each other about how smart they are.
What does this statement mean to you?
Sounds like you were involved with the tail end of Usenet but I wasn't referring to Usenet.
Incel didn't become what means today until sometime after 2000 when 4chan and Reddit arrived on the scene. That was the beginning of the end of the period I am talking about.
TIL Little Caesars is probably on the Epistein list
I doubt that. The Illitch family behave like relatively down to earth billionaires. At least as far as what they do in Detroit.
yeah but it's okay if it's funny enough
this is weak for me, but I think enough people find it funny and I also think enough people recognize the ad. I hope so anyways
I didn't think of it as an ad, just someone's story they made while on the toilet or something
The oddly specific "$6 pizza" didn't give it away?
I just figured they were emphasizing the bad pizza to be funny or something, like in writing class they tell you to add little details, or comedians
