Pizza Hut was always mediocre food propped up by a very specific fsmily friendly 90s-00s atmosphere that doesn't really exist anymore. Culture changed, world became too cynical to tolerate the Hut, they did the worst possible thing by trying to make up their declining popularity by squeezing their remaining customers even harder while cutting costs. Gone the way of cups of crayons and playplaces.

See, a place like this looks nice, when there's only white people working there. If you were to go in there and see blacks, Mexicans, or any other brown people, you'd feel instantly put off. You'd feel uneasy. You wouldn't immediately know why, but you'd feel uncomfortable. You know something is wrong. You know there's a higher chance of the food being prepared in an unsanitary way. You know these people come from countries where the IQ is lower and they don't give a fuck about anything. And even if they try to do things right, they still can't, because they're not intelligent enough.

Because all things are constantly improving, they are constantly shedding the elements of themselves that become outdated or undesirable. All of the negatives and undesirable traits become confined to the past, and so all past eras, places and things become defined by their mistakes. We become nostalgic for the past, and because the past is defined by its nuisances we become nostalgic for those nuisances. We remember rewinding our VHS tapes, we remember having to call to make reservations on our landlines. We remember having to make sure we had change for payphones. We remember having to rent movies. Coupon dispensers and sit down family pizza are some of these things.

i'm not really sure, but i can pinpoint the exact moment we (my family) never went out to the local hut joint. i was an impressionable young kid around 10 yo and didn't understand that some people have tooth decay and so i said hey lynn (lynn was our favorite waitress) why is your tooth black? she was taken aback and my mom slapped me on the head. they all laughed it off at first but i persisted lynn why is your tooth black and she started crying. she went off to the back room i guess and some other waiter shoved our pizza onto the table being lik e heres your pizza. and then i ate the pizza and got up and there was a jukebox right but i was so disgusted by the cover of "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water and i told my parents how gross it was so anyways that why Pizza Hut is dead

COVID killed buffet places and family friendly stuff. With the rise of single motherhood, there just aren't enough "families" to support that kind of thing anymore, community is nuked, and DEI shit keeps it from reforming. Science shows all the DEI stuff stops unions and community by fracturing us into smaller groups. Makes you easy to subsume into social media where you are beaten down into being a narcissist that only cares about themself. Narcissists can't make families, they can't put others above themselves long enough to keep a partner or give a shit about kids. Only actual full families go out to eat as an event.

Case in point: they put a Golden Corral in my area, it didn't last a year, and COVID put a bullet in it's zombie corpse. >>20212012 is correct.

McD's playplaces are gone. It's a pickup and get out styled place now. They don't want you there. That is why the double lines in the drive through and kiosks in the main room. Order your shit, get your goyslop, and get the fuck out.

The problem with success is you make profit and get a nest egg out of it, and that nest egg makes you absorb damage from mistakes. So businesses don't just drop dead when they fuck up, it happens from repetitive fuck ups. Add in loans/investment and you can prop a company up longer than it can make an actual profit - known as a "zombie" company. This kind of shit happens FREQUENTLY when MBAs take over from engineer managers or the company owner who cared about the product. These MBAs are soulless husks who care about profit only, and that is when the corner cutting and asshole CEO behavior starts. There are plenty of corporate examples of this type of thing. And the exact same shit happens with company sales to other companies. No one at the buying company cares, so shit gets cannibalized.

Basically, the poorer people get, the more sugar and bread in the food.
Companies don't care about stability, the next year better have made more money than the last, nothing else matters. Since people aren't making more money to spend more at Pizza Hut, they have to make up sales with schemes (Hut Rewards) and using less money in their ingredients (bread and sugar are cheap because they offer no nutrition*).

*Sugar companies lobbied congress and used smear campaigns to convince people that fat is bad for your health. So they took fat out of all of the U.S.'s foods, rendering them flavorless, to which sugar companies answered with adding sugar to literally everything.
That's why "0g FAT!" is everywhere and even savory dishes taste like candy.

Pizza Hut is the best chain to be a driver for though, especially if you're antisocial or autistic because they typically don't have you inside the store at all. You park and they let you know when there's a delivery to take and you just walk up and get it from a little area on the side of the building.
Other places have the driver-station inside so you get roped into doing a bunch of other bullshit

I call it the stock-profit incentive. Obviously you want a business to make money for a long time, but what happens is as you squeeze more money out by driving up prices and driving down quality, customers go elsewhere, so over time that new thing generates more revenue, so you sell your stocks and go there, then the valuation goes up massively and new owners come in because of a buy out or the board via shareholders. The cycle then repeats.

>> No.20213428

>>20213426
tl;dr shareholders don't need the business to be successful long-term because they can sell their stocks in two seconds and move to the next business. That's why businesses without stocks are probably more likely to last long-term in terms of quality.

you're not wrong. when I was in high school over a decade ago my first job was Pizza Hut when I was 15. it was decent, especially compared to now.
the whole reason you'd get Pizza Hut or Dominos instead of LC's was because it was slightly better. Little Caesar's still tastes the same as it did when I was a kid and my mom would bring it home for dinner (we were poorfags), meanwhile the Hut has gotten so much worse there's 0 reason to get a Pizza Hut pizza for twice the price.
At least Dominos has good deals and coupons all the time, not sure about Papa John's anymore since there isn't one near where I live now but anytime I actually feel like getting shitty takeout pizza it's either Dominos or Little Caesar's. The Hut simply is not worth the price anymore

I'm the opposite. I hate dessert but enjoy the doughy taste of the base. I think the sugar gives it a more chewy texture too which is probably what I enjoy more. Whereas dominos is more rigid.

You can think of things legally or intelligently. Businesses are smart not to hire dropkick retards who chimp out because they can't be high on the job or hungover. And yes, you can smoke enough weed that you're groggy for several hours later. Making this your cross to fall on just shows you fit the 'stoner' stereotype. You'll either get the job, and it's probably the right job you deserve until you're retired, or the indians that run it won't hire you because they're smart enough to not hire retards (unless they're Indian, which 99.9% of indians are).

(2) without a lot of people, doing a buffet with few people isn't cost effective - either there isn't enough food, or food goes to waste
(3) lot of people got tired of the same pizza and want something unique (lot of non chain places have special pizzas)

This Pizza Hut Classic is a relatively new construction, most likely that parking lot previously served a bigger building at the same location or possibly even multiples, depending on the layout. Not every Hut has that big of a parking lot.
