tHiS iS An AD!

Never worked in a corporation? Imagine the marketing people approving a viral ad where violence is the central point and an employee cusses at a customer. Decision makers are typically cowards because they've risen to their level of incompetence, Peter Principled.

This is a dude making a joke. Probably waiting for his pizza, laughing to himself about some road rage he encountered on the way in, thinking, "Be funny if..."

Sometimes y'all too cynical to think things through.

Hot n Ready?

The joke was either fighting or gloryholes.

Sometimes y'all too cynical to think things through.

Ugh, no, thats not cynicism. If you constantly end up in biased results which are like "there's nothing to do", that's cynicism.

Speaking as someone who delivered a lot of pizza in a previous life, I can confirm that after being exposed to enough bullshit from customers plus the constant threat of getting jumped and robbed (even from idiots who claimed they were "just joking around"), us delivery drivers absolutely were ready to throw down at any instant, for just about any reason. The counter staff probably less so.

Two dipshits arguing with each other in my lobby (i.e. not arguing with us) wouldn't be one of them, though. That's how you can tell this is fake. I'd have just tossed both of them out on their asses and ate whoever's pizza it was that just got canceled. Deliverator don't give a fuck what your problem is.

I could write a book on the ways people found out after fucking around in the various restaurants I worked at. The statute of limitations has probably come up by now...

This sounds like one of those "Arby's Boys" skits. Just replacing Arby's with Little Sleazers.

honestly at this point the entertainment value makes it acceptable for me

[-] [email protected] 40 points 3 days ago

I’m certainly not going to eat shitty pizza bc of this violent story.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

What they serve cannot be called pizza.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Sounds like something a marketing guy would say, you astroturfing for marketers?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!

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.

https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/whd/whd20220331-0

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

Which adds on to the $26k they paid a few years earlier for child exploitation.

tl;dr: Little Caesars loves fucking kids over.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 3 days ago

Well it's called LITTLE Caesars, not Big Ceasers.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Oh shit! I was barely 15 when I worked there. I ran the oven, and sold pot to the manager lol.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

TIL Little Caesars is probably on the Epistein list

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I doubt that. The Illitch family behave like relatively down to earth billionaires. At least as far as what they do in Detroit.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

These are franchise run stores, not corporate run stores.

At that point where you tried to distance them from the company they are.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

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.

And then everybody clapped

[-] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

The name of the guy? Albert Einstein.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

That's not possible. Einstein famously only worked for, and exclusively ate Quiznos.

You need to check your facts. Do better.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

He loved those subs, cuz they were good to him.

TIL people think they're going to Little Caesar's to get "pizza"

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

It's more pizza-like than what you typically can get for $6 at other places. 🤷‍♂️

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

"How was the pizza?"

"Eh. Mid."

[-] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Why is this corporate dick sucking shit so heavily upvoted?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Because it’s “funny”.

About as funny as any other story that ends with “and everyone clapped and gave me $20”.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Right? I'm not any more inclined to go to Little Caesar's, but I chuckles at a stupid story and that's that.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 3 days ago

I was a dollar tree store manager and took different route

"Sir! Sir, you have beautiful eyes don't risk that. Let it go"
