One of my jobs is at a Papa John's Franchise in northern Baltimore County, also delivering to parts of Harford. It was bought on December 30th by a guy named "Tony" (he's actually Indian, and I guess he thinks we can't pronounce his name). When he bought the store, it was doing $4k a week. If he hadn't bought it, Papa John's was going to close it.
The delivery area is rural. There are two shopping centers, four gas stations, four traffic lights, no townhomes, no apartments. If you see a police car, pinch yourself, you're dreaming.
Back to the story. Tony started bragging about how he was going to hit $10k in sales per week within the first month. This didn't happen. He broke $8k for the first time about five weeks ago. LAST week started out ridiculously slow -- $1200 or so by closing Tuesday night. Tony made the mistake of promising to buy tickets to "Matrix: Reloaded" for the staff if he hit $10k that week.
When the store closed last night at 11pm, Tony had broken $10k by about three bucks.

And I opened this thread thinking you were giving away free tickets.
Shame on you. Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
We have a Papa John's. Don't like their pizzas very much.
. . . Well, actually, I've only had one, but I've recently come to the realization that I don't like takeaway/delivery pizza. It's completely different from one you'd get in an authentic pizzeria, and I suddenly noticed that whenever I had a pizza delivered, I never actually enjoyed it. Not Pizza Hut, not Domino's, not Famous Moe's, not any of the other pizzas from places that also do kebabs, burgers and friend chicken. And now not Papa John's. I eat them because I'm hungry. Or drunk. Or stoned. Or all three. 8)

Is that the Jacksonville store? There's only one good thing in that area....& it's why I'm in so much trouble.

Whoa, hold on there. You can get pizza delivered in the UK? But that chick in Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul was going crazy because she couldn't get any pizza delivered...

She was. And at the time, you couldn't. Now delivery has invaded & permeated the world like nanoprobes or the guy in the other corner's rank BO. Or Tim's belly.
From reading the corporate propaganda at work, I've learend there's even a couple Domino's stores in Iceland.

Pizza? Matrix? That's a good oppurtunity to link to this. Best. Comedy Goldmine. Ever.

Not to shock you, but Britain circa 2003 isn't quite the same place as Britain circa 1985 (or whenever it was). We have the internet and everything.

About time you discovered it, too.

Shik, you should know better than to fool around with an under-aged pizza!
All dough-eyed and the like!
