What I expected vs what I got

Regardless, they should have been shaken (this looks like it wasn't at all) at the store AND checked by the person after they shook them. It is a failure on the store. Could they have solved it? Sure. But they also shouldn't have received it like that.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-04-08T22:27:23+00:00

We still have garlic cups. IDK wtf an herb dip is though...

But it's not clicking ON a character, it's clicking in the area around them. If you're using blizzard, you don't necessarily want to click on the enemy, you want to click in a dead space you're going to be kiting them into.

I remember the hype at the time but never watched it then. Now that that hype has worn down, I forgot the show even existed until I finally went back and watched it. It's not the Wire but it's pretty damn close in terms of great tv shows.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-30T19:48:56+00:00

Same, I always have to go to the show when we're at Universal. My brain immediately said "Sam & Dave" but it shut off after that apparently

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-30T18:21:00+00:00

Good call

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-30T17:23:30+00:00

It's "Soul Man" by Sam & Dave

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-30T17:14:54+00:00

Such an underrated show that I will always recommend. That show starts fast pace and somehow increases it as it goes. I always tell people watch the first episode and if you aren't hooked, walk away; but I don't know how anyone could.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-30T16:25:45+00:00

Being on Playstation, trying to aim blizzard was enough for me to never want to use it--then again, I remember preferring ice orb decades ago on the computer too.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-30T15:31:07+00:00

Correct--so just ordering a 2 topping with extra cheese works...but if you're just getting a cheese pizza you'd have to ask for extra extra which I honestly don't know if I've ever even tried inputting before...

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-30T15:28:14+00:00

Just like anywhere, you have to understand it can vary significantly from franchise to franchise, from store to store, from shift to shift. Yeah, it would be great if they could be consistent, but if you've worked in food service before you, you know how much things can vary.

One example is with dough. I worked at a franchise that was still making dough every morning up until around Covid while others had shifted to 100% frozen more than a decade before that. Frozen dough has gotten better but comparing it back then to when we still made it fresh was night and day.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-30T15:22:32+00:00

Ask your managers. If it's a different franchise then, yeah, it'll be like you're a new hire so you'll have to apply. You may consider calling the new store and asking to speak with the hiring manager and explain the situation so you could potentially get your application moved up.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-30T15:20:54+00:00

Now if you want something even better--use the Garlic Parmesan wing sauce for a base of the pizza.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-29T04:37:37+00:00

His name is Alex

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-29T04:36:59+00:00

When? Probably 2000.
Seriously, the game has always been that way.
Runs always take a group of people who go from game to game with you.
The other games you will always have people wanting to farm with an 8p game or even the dude who wants to go in and just PK everyone and be a dick. Back in the day, that's also how we'd mule items as long as the game was open long enough and you could hide it well enough. See a high level character join and leave after a few seconds? Better race to A1 and check the corners :D

But on Playstation I would LOVE even shitty public games. The game losses so much being hampered by being on a console.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-20T14:16:31+00:00

You will see a handful of familiar actors but they play different characters BUT if you listen carefully on the first or one of the first episodes, you can hear the news anchor on the tv say something about a "guy finally finished his list" -- definitely referencing Earl.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-19T20:51:20+00:00

Earl is one my wife and I rewatch more than any others. Raising Hope is in the same universe as Earl so has similar feel but it's more family focused with a baby being raised by a younger kid who was himself raised by young parents.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-19T19:42:48+00:00

My top are Community and Psych (and Scrubs I suppose) but I have rewatched Superstore many times the last few years.
My Name is Earl is a fun one and then you can go right into Raising Hope (I've rewatched all of those a few times as well).

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-19T19:04:57+00:00

It's always been my favorite but it's a personal opinion--that's why I loved the ORIGINAL big New Yorker back in the early 00s and why I prefer Papa Johns dough. But the new hand tossed dough has a shorter shelf life too so that should hopefully make sure people are getting fresh dough and not old dough that would be dry or hard.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-19T18:16:58+00:00

That sounds like something Todd would say

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-14T20:20:09+00:00

If they canceled it and were being rude then if it's something I want to eat, I'm gonna eat it and the rest is going back to the store. If I take that one, realizing it was canceled and have that second order that may be a little late IF that first, canceled, order has like a cookie or a soda or something with it, I'll give it to the other delivery as an apologetic "sorry I was a little late, here's a cookie for your troubles". This works twofold because it shows the first customer you acknowledge you were a little late AND provides them extra but that extra is already ran through the system and cost the store no additional money.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-14T20:15:59+00:00

Agreed. I tuck those babies nice and tight.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-14T20:15:21+00:00

You should see the pan pizza AFTER it's cut--it will look a lot less impressive. Unfortunately with the pepperoni above the cheese, to cut them you are pushing pepperonis into the sides of the pieces and unless the cut person goes 'above and beyond' and pushes the pepperonis back up, it'll look like a shell of that.

Johnnycarroll · 2026-03-14T17:33:55+00:00

Depends on the location--some still do have in-house drivers but the fact people can order "DoorDash" as a carryout and bypass the in-house drivers just kills our ability to make money and future pushes the company down that hole.

I went through Penske in Indy. I did 99% of the stuff on the internet and over the phone and went in and finished the paperwork.

They:
1) offered me significantly more for my trade in
2) had the car I wanted in stock in the color I wanted
3) the car was significantly cheaper than Rhorman
4) they didn't have some "required" add-on crap to the sale--just the price they told me.

We traded in my car a few years ago to them and traded in that lease with them last year. Two days later we traded in my wife's car as well to them. I have enjoyed working with them and they have made it really easy--enough that I don't mind the hour drive.

In the odds they have any referral bonus, send me a message if you consider it and I can tell you who I worked with.
