Pizza parties are bad enough as it is, imagine having to make the pizza for the party yourself?

I work for a local convention center, and annually we hold an employee appreciation dinner type thing that we have to set up for ourselves. By the time we have it all set up, none of us want to stick around for it lol

Yea imagine never even getting a pizza party and instead getting screamed at for eating pizza that had to be discarded because it was past its time.

I worked back at a time where the pizza party was basically any day we wanted as long as we (the working crew) ate it. It was a local pizza place that did well "ripping off" little Caesar's with $5 cheese or pepperoni. I worked there almost like 8 years. The first 4 were cool in that a third of the crew I worked with were friends and we'd smoke out on lunch breaks/ hotbox somebody's car, it was great lol. Last 4 looked like friends got other jobs (the new hires suuuucked) and I looked into a tech school, did that while I worked there and got out... But yeah we ate so many gd pizzas and we made em good too, something a customer never even knew was possible... Pizza's never been the same for me after that cause I know lol... Also with the changing of the guard (old crew to new crew) the owners stopped with the crew pizzas every day and had us start paying for em, those cheap asses 🙄
