All corporate products get worse in quality, it's absolutely intentional. Not only does it save them money, but it allows them to up the quality of the product in the future as a marketing stunt, before slowly reducing the quality again. Pizza hut is still better than the competition anyway, since as it got worse the rest all got worse too.

I'd agree. I grew up un the golden age of pizza hut as a sit down place. Was great for a chain (could be my childhood talking). Only had Dominos when i stayed at my friends house and it was shit. Now Dominos is pretty good for a chain and pizza hut is absolute shit.

Dominos is on the "corner the market" stage of it's corporate agenda. Once they outsell all other pizza places, you'll see a decline in quality, but it wont matter for a while because of brand loyalty.

Basically, as time proceeded you grew older and the world started seeming harsher and less of a wonderland. It feels like other things changed, but it's you who changed.

I worked for this company for almost a decade on its store manager and then area coach side.

Your local Pizza Hut stores are constantly pressured by outside sources (Your Store Owner & Your Corporate side, yes, they are two separate things in most district locations) to cut cut cut resources, labor and product company.

Yum!, the parent company of Pizza Hut, Long John Silvers, KFC, etc is a EU originated multi-billion dollar international grocery store company that now owns your favorite fast food market chains. They are cheap in product and only want to see increase in revenue. Pretty cliche huh?

Remember the whole "pink meat" issue with KFC? That's the same meat used in Pizza Huts Bacon. Fun fact, Bacon is the most expensive thing a store owner can buy. But its not real bacon. Order a bacon pizza and look for the "pink spots" where the meat has breathed and sizzled on your dough. Why does your bacon have a pink dye to it? Like I said, it's not "real" bacon.

When I worked as a store manager, I had a limitation of only ordering 2,500 worth of product each week for my store. It means that we had to skimp and "push" old product 2-3 days after expiration dates. Pizza Hut manually prints their own expiration stickers on their boxes when they do daily/weekly inventories.

When I became area coach it is even worse. You spend most of your time forcing people to do the most inhuman shit you can do, it's nothing but a corporate totem pole of blame-game tactics and who is going to be the fall guy if someone a rung higher than you fucks up.

In my area alone, there was inter-company drama with store managers fucking one another, racism, sexual-abuse allegations, pedophilia and a slew of other shit.

If you want a good pizza, go to a mom and pops store. Your money is better spent there.
