A little caesars pizza can go for 5 a box. so 200 boxes would run the guy about 1000 dollars (+tax). Money well spent! No sarcasm.

I assume he's going to give them the "leftovers" for later?
kgirl924
I think he meant buying ingredients with that money instead of pre-prepared pizza would have lasted them longer.
Tikityler
Or something more filling like soup/stew and other foods.
FvcktangularBondulance
What do you mean pizza won't fill those people up? Serious question, not being a dick.
Tikityler
Foods like little caesars pizza are not going to keep you full as long as like a good stew. You could get significantly more stew for $1k.
FvcktangularBondulance
Is this a US thing? Over here, pizza is some of the most filling things around. Tons of carbs and fat plus plenty of protein.
Tikityler
Little caesars pizza is mostly just bread. Which does not leave you full very long.
DirectorBright
I have no idea what he's talking about, Pizza's loaded. It's bread, cheese, and meat, those are extremely calorie dense. Stew's mostly water

Am I the only one who thinks simply saying "small coffee" in #2 isnt rude?
DBenign
I saw a thing about this once, it basically comes down to a 'small town vs city' thing. People have less time in cities, so not wasting 1/2
DBenign
your cashiers time with small talk is important. In a small town, it would be considered rude. 2/2
votress
it is kind of rude not to greet people if you're having an interaction with them, especially if you're asking for something.
crohnite
Def. encourage basic politeness; but really you aren't asking for something, you're paying for it. Shouldn't be punished for being direct.

The best part is the implied commodification of rudeness. Hey yeah you can treat me like shit as long as you pay a couple bucks extra!

Agreed, no need to be rude, but no need to be an asshole owner either
CheshireCad
Not adding silly honorifics to your order isn't rude. It's impolite. Rudeness is negativity, whereas this is merely not adding positivity.

Rude people suck and should be held accountable. But if you see every lack of politeness as a personal slight, you're gonna have a bad time.

Why is praying over food seen as a virtue? Who are you being good to, in reality? Is a religious person better by default? Hardly.
Strongharbour432
It's about humility and giving thanks for a meal. To show respect for the source and for the preparation. That's why it's seen as a virtue
raidleadergutts
Source is the parents, not the invisible sky wizard. It's not virtuous in the least. It's just disgusting.
Strongharbour432
Where did I say that it was about the invisible sky wizard?
Strongharbour432
I'm native, and I give thanks to the animal for giving it, my parents for preparing it, and my family for sharing in it
Anotherunsuspectingvictim
Not religous here, but I definitely think religon is a better structure for a child's character development than many parenting styles.
Strongharbour432
Like anything their are upsides and downsides, and it can depend on which denomination or belief you follow
Anotherunsuspectingvictim
The problem is some parents just focus on the parts that make their kids manageable, not good people. The byproduct being shitty Christians.
Paroxus
#12 ah yes, brainwashing. So right for children.
ANewBadlyDrawnReactionImageAsIMakeThem
HurgenSchlurgenGlurgen
As far as I'm concerned this is the most pernicious aspect of religions: indoctrination of those too young to defend themselves.
pronoun
We're all indoctrinated, though. That's what K-12 is. There's nothing wrong with teaching religion to kids as long as it's all positive.
GodelEscherBach
K-12, as far as I know, doesn't teach kids that they're inherently sinful, causing a man they never met to have to die in agony.
pronoun
That doesn't sound very positive does it?
GodelEscherBach
In my opinion, no religion is. Not for the individual, and not for society.
Paroxus
I consider it brainwashing because you're not teaching your children to make smart decisions. You're teaching them to fear and relent...
Paroxus
It's one thing to teach your children to be kind and thankful. But teach them to be kind to everyone and thank the people responsible...
Paroxus
God didn't put that food there. God didn't perform your life saving surgery. God didn't land you that job...
Paroxus
Teaching kids that there's a magic being that dictates everything that goes on in the universe makes them ignorant & halts development.
Paroxus
We should teach children what is known and encourage them to question and explore what is not known. Not just make up answers about God.
griffonsgalore
Exactly what I thought. Brainwashing.
Acmer77
Yeah. Learn to thank god and not your parents for working hard, buying the food and making it.

As soon as I saw that one I knew someone was gonna be triggered
HolyHolopov
As someone who is not at all religious, I think it's great to teach your kids to be grateful and have the patience to wait.

And the best way to teach values, as we all know, is ritualistic repetition.

And as someone who is definitely religious, I disapprove of teaching children about religion before they can decide for themselves.

Why are you downvoted?!? That is like the most logical statement I've heard. Who would force religion on children? Assholes

NNextremNN
No the teaching that you can do all the evil you want you just have to ask for forgiveness the moment before you die.
HandsomeSwede
What teachings specifically did you get that a non-religious home can't offer?
dietderpsy
The sense of being spiritual bound to a higher power and purpose. Religion also offers a cult like experience, the chants, prayer, sense of

community and hope, it gives you a lot of hope in hardship you can pray and it makes you feel better, it maybe a placebo but when you are

Sloppydrunkcatlady
I mean I don't think there's anything wrong with teaching religion if you ultimately allow them to make their own choice when they're older
Sloppydrunkcatlady
and make it a point to expose them to different ways of thinking along the way so that choice is informed
therealbardman
There's a difference in teaching about religion and teaching religion.
Sloppydrunkcatlady
I still don't really see anything wrong with teaching religion and raising your kid in faith if you're not a dick religious person and you
Sloppydrunkcatlady
let them make their own choices when they're older. Whether you're Wiccan, Hindu, Christian, Muslim, whatever, I just think it comes down
HandsomeSwede
If you teach them that there is a God, you've already made their choice for them.
tathrok
Yep.
Sloppydrunkcatlady
Um, .......no? Because they can make the choice to not believe that? Plenty of people raised in faith no longer follow or believe
HandsomeSwede
Plenty of people, perhaps, but only one third of those who grow up in a religious household. It absolutely IS making a choice for them!
ryanjoseph666

who weren't raised in faith and do follow.
criablelurst
Tricky one. On the one hand, it's good to be thankful and to consider the food they eat to be precious. Other hand, God didn't put it there.
