I know it isn't the best, but a certain D pizza chain is kind of king for a pizza quick fix without breaking the bank.

Place near me was charging $40 for a pizza and I just can't.

I fully support capped CEO pay.

I fully think large grocery chains are screwing customers.

But having worked at a few smaller grocery stores, the margins are absurdly thin. At one 6ish store semi-local store I worked for we made roughly 3 cents on the dollar. That included various fees and labor, but once you factor in theft and chargebacks and bounced checks and such - it could get even thinner some months.

Granted, I assume the megacorp ones maybe negotiate / strongarm for higher margins? So fuck 'em.

I realize it isn't advisable, but the existing voting and peaceful protests have done nothing. The needle continues to move the wrong direction.

I also realize based purely on my posts I sound like a mad man. While I am mad, I realize that comments come off extreme. I am open to discourse, but struggle to confidently and reliably see a path forward that doesn't coalesce down to what will eventually happen. History is telling.
