Little Ceasers I've only had once that I can remember about 8 months ago, I didn't think it was that bad, the breadsticks were pretty good, good in that they were as good or better than pizza hut's.

Pizza Hut is pretty crappy unless you get stuffed crust IMO, though I haven't tried all of their varieties (deep dish etc) and usually go for a traditional or thin crust.

Dominos from childhood up until 4 (I think) years ago when they first changed their recipe was simply cardboard + cheese/sauce, their first recipe change was really good IMO I enjoyed the particular combination of spices and the newer more robust sauce, I actually like the more recent remake even less, it's the same thing just less zesty, the texture of the crust is a bit better though so maybe that's an improvement? I dunno.
There's a Domino's right next door to my house so I had been eating it weekly ($4 one toping Tuesdays were hard to pass up) until about 2 years ago when I realized enough was enough, only had it 3 or 4 times total since then.

For some reason I prefer Papa Gino's pizza above all the other chains, I don't even know what it is that I like so much about it. Probably nostalgia considering a year ago was the first time I had had it in fifteen years.
Just wondering why you're boycotting PJ'S.

Asshole's a billionaire who lives in a castle and has the nerve to claim the "need to cut the wages of his employees" because of Obamacare.

Take a look at EVERY SINGLE major chain restaurant, retail store, etc etc etc.

They have ALL used the impending Obamacare AND minimum wage increases are reasons to BOTH:

1) Increase their prices on everything
2) Cut wages and jobs COMPLETELY

Subway for example now has like 3 total things on their "five dollar footlong" menu, and most everything else is $7.50. My aunt owns a Subway, and it's KILLING their business. Their food costs HAVE skyrocketed I'll admit that. Of course, corporate is reporting higher-than-ever profits to its investors.

No surprise there

Additionally they've ALL implemented "raise freezes" pretty much across the board. They know the minimum wage increase is coming, IN SEVERAL ***YEARS***, and they've used that as an excuse to free all wage increases til then.

this guy is a huge tool, can't take responsibility for the fact his company can't compete in the economy instead of improving he blames his employees on some BS and then lays them off claiming they asked for it

I won't defend the dude being a dick. I've actually heard the same thing from people who have met him. I also am not familiar with whatever the transcript was of shit he said, nor do I really feel like reading what an asshole has to say about something he probably doesn't understand.

I'm also not against state sponsored health care necessarily, but just remember someone is going to have to pay for it. If you think anyone who owns a business is just going to pony up and eat losses to pay for Obamacare I think you'd be mistaken. Businesses are an investment, and you want to be sure your investment is doing the best it can.

That being said, he probably should have kept his mouth shut. I'll still eat papa john's cause I enjoy it, but then again I'd be an awful food critic.

I hope you realize that they started doing that about a year before Obama even got elected the first time (here in the northeast at least).

Mistirecting context.

If something like that happened to me I'd make sure to personally cost that manager more money then Obamacare would have. Just saying. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That would be my first thought but the sadistic motherfucker in me would want to cause a long lasting amount of psychological punishment coupled with acts (mostly vandalism I suppose) costing him tons of money.
