[QUOTE]Originally posted by thoughtcriminal84: [QB] To make a long story short, my grudge with papa john's is probably limited to the Local store management level... I had a minor dispute with the manager one fine day over some of P.J.'s fine buisness practices. Essentially, I wasn't saying "Driver In" or "Driver Out" when I entered or left the building as loudly as he wanted. This, of course, is not a big deal, and it wasn't a problem at first. I made the effort to say those silly things louder. But then other things started to pop up. Like for example, I forget to wear the hat inside, leaving in my car. Again, not a big deal. I understand it's company policy, hey, I'm mature. But the bitch out I received for it was not proportional to the size of my mistake. I shrugged it off, thinking, hey, he's an asshole, so what, I made seventy bucks in tips tonight. The next day, I'm making the pizza. And lo and behold, I made a pizza that was not "eight". You know what that means? There's a little sign in (I believe) all Papa John's that says "If it's not eight, WE REMAKE!". It means that each and every single pizza has to be exactly eight slices big. Mine was not. It was six. AGAIN, not a big deal. This bastard chewed me out over a pie that costs maybe two bucks to make, and then tried to make me pay full price for it, because "I screwed the pooch." At the time, this was ten bucks. I had been working there for four months when this happened, and this sort of evil shit had never occurred before. My reaction was rather subdued at first. But you see, this particular man was using the policies of Papa John's in order to fulfill some kind of sick Control Fantasy. I didn't realize that until he threatened to fire me unless I paid for it. I remember thinking things like "What?" and "Huh?"... Now I swear. I've had some shit jobs. I worked at an IBP, if that tells you anything. But never, and I mean never, have I gotten so much grief over so minor a thing. So when I was fired for not paying for that pie, I went and talked to other Papa John's people in town (we have four stores here) and amazingly, many of them told me that they had seen similar happen more often than not. I wrote several letters to the Better Buisness Bureau, and sent a couple off to papa john's regional offices, but I never even got a "Sorry, guy, our managers are all on crack." so I dislike them. I think it's funny now, but I can hardly explain how pissed I was at the time. I'll never eat one of their perfect eight slice pizzas again. And yes, I realize I probably sound like an insane person ranting, so I'll shut up. [/QB][/QUOTE]
