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

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 33 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

What they serve cannot be called pizza.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

The mention of pizza makes me want pizza.. but not Little Caesars. It's Big Pizza, working together to up pizza sales in general.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

If you go to Spittle Sleazers to buy "food", you're gonna have a bad time.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

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.

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

tl;dr: Little Caesars loves fucking kids over.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Franchising does not dissolve you of responsibility.

These are Little Caesars and they reflect Little Caesars.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

TIL Little Caesars is probably on the Epistein list

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] xylol@leminal.space 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I didn't think of it as an ad, just someone's story they made while on the toilet or something

[–] PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The oddly specific "$6 pizza" didn't give it away?

[–] xylol@leminal.space 3 points 1 week ago

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

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Hot n Ready?

The joke was either fighting or gloryholes.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And then everybody clapped

[–] wraithcoop@programming.dev 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The name of the guy? Albert Einstein.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

You need to check your facts. Do better.

[–] cdf12345@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

I was a dollar tree store manager and took different route

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

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Plot twist: "Sir" was one of your staff. On-brand WTF for Dullard Tree, 100% 😅

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Close. The other fighter was staff. A man named Phillip. The person who started the fight had nice eyes tho

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

^jesus^ You took his eyes as payment? 😶‍🌫️ I knew there was a catch. There's always a catch.

"Beatcha Beatcha"?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

TIL Abraham Lincoln works at Little Caesar's.

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Why is this corporate dick sucking shit so heavily upvoted?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because it’s “funny”.

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

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week 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.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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...

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

"How was the pizza?"

"Eh. Mid."

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

Pizza! Huzza!
