However, last week I went to the County Fair and ate a blue cheese, bacon, jalapeno, dill pickle and lettuce burger on a split Krispy Kreme donut bun.

Accompanied by a 1/2lb bucket of chili and cheese fries.

I just could not help myself.

Little Caesar's seems to be owned by some decent people, not that I'd buy one of their pizzas. I drive 40 minutes round trip to spend $15 on a medium pie from a local establishment open since 1955.

Really tasty, loved their crust. The one in my town closed years ago
We still have Pizza Hut, Domino's and Papa John's. And some great local places so I never have to patronize the chains.

11. Fast Food Owners' Latest to Keep From Paying for Obamacare

Reduce all employees to 29 hours per week so they can be classified as part-time, then the owners don't have to offer Obamacare.
I saw a spot on NPR news about a Subway store employee who had worked there for over 5 years, was barely making over minimum wage and he was getting cut back to 29 hours and losing his medical insurance. I hope I never worship the dollar more than I care about the well being of my employees. If I know the names of these stores, I will never go in them again.

if you can't afford the extra 13 cents for the pizza, maybe you shouldn't be ordering pizza from a restaurant ...
