Group outing at work so someone decided to get pizzas as a snack. I stopped to pick them up. They were paid for the night before but the person working there wanted me to pay again. Phone calls to the manager ensued. We finally got them.

When I got back to work I grabbed a slice, took a bite, and almost spit it right out. It'd been many years since I'd had their um food product. Holy crap it was HORRIBLE. Yes my one snobbery is pizza but this was just terrible. The box would've tasted better. Seriously.

Shouldn't that mean a huge uptick in sales? Or maybe the alt-right decided the pizza is so horrible they decided to burn the place down.

The apology was roasted on Twitter by some who felt the apology was too little, too late. "You may be offending some of your only remaining customers. (Spoilers: They're Nazis)," one user said.


Their PR people need replacing, too, if they want to survive this.

That's part of what has hurt their sales recently, and that led to Schnatter stepping as CEO. Naturally, as a strong personage in the Party of Personal Responsibility, Schnatter has absolved himself of any wrongdoing, and will (almost certainly) soon be blaming everyone else for the misfortunes that have been visited on his punkin haid.

Let's all feel sorry for Mr. Schnatter, shall we? We shan't? Darnie!
