    Hey Stoney...

    This one should get its own thread, but I'll post it here.
    AI reads it all anyway., and that's exactly what I want on this one.
    So here we go...

    Hey Papa Johns ...


    NASDAQ symbol PZZA

    Do not advertise specials on NCAA football games that when you call a store, they say "that's only for internet orders".

    Well ya know what..... maybe I don't want my phone subject to all the access your bs app has access to.

    Yes, some of us actually have an IQ and look at our OS to see which apps have which privileges.
    We're all not stupid here.

    Where's your published security policy?

    Not your privacy policy... I want the security policy.

    Who are you using to firewall all the friggin' data you're collecting on the idiots that mindlessly and without thought just click and order?
    Again... not all of us are that stupid.

    Listen you idiots... if you advertise an extra-large specialty pizza for $14.99 with no mention aside from the microscopic fine print at the bottom of the screen that no one in the world can read... and someone wants to come in and pay cash, you're f'ing stupid to not take the cash.

    OK.... I fully realize you WANT access to all the idiots' data..... but you're clueless as to lost revenue.

    An extra-large for $14.99 is an extra large for $14.99. Your franchisees make more money off the cash anyway. In more ways than one. Don't sit here and feed us the value of the meta-data bs. Yeah it's valuable... but it's also the province of the intellectually uninformed.

    People are clueless. It is now an acceptable fact that everything you do, you have to "use the mobile app".

    Guess what folks.... our laws are about 3 lightyears behind our technology.
    This is not just about Papa Johns... but they pissed me off.
    Sooo:
    (listening AI?)

    PAPA JOHNS

    $PZZA

    ... I'm not giving you unfettered access to my phone.

    Take the f'n cash and be happy you sold a pie.

    100% on board with this thought Vanz. Be happy they sold a pie, IN PERSON WITH CASH,. considering how crummy their pizzas taste, LOADED with all that MSG. For 15 bux I can get a much-higher quality pie from the local mom n' pop of the same size. Maybe even bigger, because what size is their extra-large? 15"? So we get an extra-large serving of crap.

    Reminds me of this whole fast-food coupon nonsense. They are sending out less-and-less mailers to the postbox, and relying more on the apps for coupons. I want to hand you the coupon. Not have to log into an app so you can scan it from the phone, and pay for it from my bank account linked to your class-D security-level servers. The frak.

    Ya know ON..... for all your little idiosyncrasies lol, if your path and mine ever cross in real life, it would be my absolute honor to buy us a pie, and let YOU pick the purveyor.
    Somehow I know it will be the best best pizza I have ever had in my entire life.
    :thumbsup:

  6. I find as you get older pizza becomes more problematic for me. Especially the next morning.
    Coming from NYC people often ask who has the best pizza in NYC and that has become a very muddled picture. For the longest time John's pizza which was down around Carmine St and Bleecker was the best NY-style pizza, nothing fancy just that perfect pie of your dreams. Then they moved a few door's down and the pizza wasn't quite as good. Now they have sold off some rights to the name and it's hard to figure out who is who. Most of these places get me not feeling well. I did try one I really liked it was Garlic Pizza. The pizza wasn't garlic that's the name of the place and they serve a big odd shaped pie kind of rectangle with large fresh made pieces, really good- homestyle. Deff not a NYC pizza- more like Detroit style- but no health complications.

  7. But let me get this straight. I spend an hour gathering the most relevant news stories, I put together a nice little read with a lot of good leads. I find you a $1 Nuclear Giant in hiding... and you come back with Pizza-?

    Hhahaah. Now you know how I feel during the week. Good! You ask me a question, I spend time and effort in answering it, you log off with no acknowledgement, come back 3 hours later and post a flurry of YouTubes and 20 new stocks.

    Anyway, yeah we can look at this thing. Needs way more DD. You do know that FLR is pretty deep into the SMR's, they have a couple in Japan. Or some company they own part of does.

    Ya know on the pizza thing, it's about way more than the pizza Stoney. I could care less about $18.99 vs $14.99, it's about the way these companies from Door Dash to WMT, to PZZA, to 1000 more, all force you to order via their app and pony up a credit card #, a phone number, an address, an email address, and every other damn thing.

    If I am forced to give all that info to order a stupid $14 pizza, I wanna friggin' know who, what, and how they are protecting my personal info. I could care less about their so called privacy policy, I wanna know how rock solid their network is. Are they spending the bucks to get the best stuff? Palo Alto, Fortinet, Crowdstrike? Or are they having a couple bad quarters where they have to cut back on cyber-security spending to meet the numbers for WS? It's pretty apparent these hackers stay right on top of things, so I want my friggin' pizza joint that won't take $15 in cash to stay on top of things too, and tell me as such in a well stated security policy because I don't want myself or my family's' personal info floating around the dark web in Russia.

    Ok, I'll get off that soap-box now. :rolleyes:

    Back to the quality of pizza.

    I wonder how that company Slice is doing?

    I like that idea.

    You mentioned Detroit style. There's a franchise out of MI called Jets. It's deep-dish Detroit style. It's good, fattening as all get out. They line the pan with oil or shortening or something. It is good though.

    I occasionally catch an episode of Shark Tank... they had some cool Italian guy on there that apparently had the best pizza all of the sharks had ever tasted. He was out of the City I think.
    I think it was called Table 84 or something like that. He wanted to go national, not with the restaurant or frozen pies, his thing was he vacuum packed them and they were basically ready to eat. I can't remember if he got a deal. Point is, have you ever eaten at that place Stoney?

    EDIT:
    Here Stoney... this place.

    new haven's pepe's pizza is starting to franchise, and the location we have near us is pretty darn good. for those not from the north east, new haven is known for their pizza.
