Haters gonna hate, but I order Papa John's pizza almost every week. -- nm - Mop Mar 7, 10:05 23

- I don’t hate but clearly some opinions are of less value than others -- nm - Roger More Mar 7, 10:33

  - I was exclusively Dominos in college. It was 2 doors from Papa's. Papa had no coupons. Dominos was $5 large 2 topping, delivery included. -- nm - MDH Mar 7, 10:44
- Smh -- nm - Krusty Mar 7, 10:26 3
  - You have Netflix, right? I want you to watch Ugly Delicious, the Pizza episode. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 10:30 1
    - Okay. I'll check it out. -- nm - Krusty Mar 7, 10:37
  - Because Sbarro's doesn't deliver! -- nm - Mop Mar 7, 10:26
- In college as a fundraising event, I worked concession in college multiple times. The Papa Johns pizza was by far the grossest thing we made. -- nm - MDH Mar 7, 10:24
- I like them a lot. Of the delivery chains, they are my go to. But: they are too expensive, their taste/quality has gone down. - Epiphany Mar 7, 10:21 3
  - Their coupon game is insane. I've been using a 40% off for months. -- nm - Mop Mar 7, 10:27 2
    - except our brand new store won't take most of their own coupons. its infuriating. I just gave up. - Epiphany Mar 7, 10:29 1
      - The local Quizno's did that to us with coupons, and it made me stop going to them at all. - JaxSean Mar 7, 10:31
- never, ever, ever order Papa Johns. - groiny Mar 7, 10:16
- Every two months for us. -- nm - LepreSpawn Mar 7, 10:16
- Even for that tier of pizza I think they're sub par. Their sauce is far to sweet. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 7, 10:14
- Oh yeah? Well enjoy the taste of your... actually, no. I forgot what's so bad about Papa John's -- nm - con_carne Mar 7, 10:09 5
  - I think it has zero taste. Plus it's he most expensive pizza. -- nm - MDH Mar 7, 10:24 3
    - The "zero taste" part is probably accurate and also probably why I buy it. -- nm - Mop Mar 7, 10:26
    - That is why it comes with the garlic butter dip. -- nm - LepreSpawn Mar 7, 10:26 1
      - Which turns into liquid awfulness once the pizza melts it. -- nm - Shaun Mar 7, 10:28
  - Here anyway, it's worse and more expensive than Dominos, so if you were chain ordering, it makes no sense. -- (edited) - Shaun Mar 7, 10:12

Some of this sounds like restaurants refusing service to whoever they choose and those bakeries who won't sell cakes to LGBT families. -- nm - Diva Mar 7, 09:49 16

    - Curious - what factors other than the text are used to determine the intent of the legislation? In Australia, there's the common law rule - basically, - Roger More Mar 7, 10:17 1
      - [deleted]
- Age restrictions on cigs, alcohol, gambling, senior housing, etc. -- nm - budice Mar 7, 09:56 9
  - Are all codified in state or federal law, no? Which makes it different from a retailer imposing such restrictions on their own initiative. -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 09:58 7
    - Movie ratings, what law restricts R rated movies from being seen by people under 18? -- nm - budice Mar 7, 09:59 6
      - What law restricts senior housing to above a certain age? -- nm - budice Mar 7, 10:02 2
        
        15 years ago, this would have been an Adam Sandler comedy. -- nm - Roger More Mar 7, 10:03 1
        
        Senior Junior, an Adam Sandler Comedy -- nm - budice Mar 7, 10:04

"I'm just having a sense of humor" -- nm - Ted Cruz, human, and not at all a robot or alien Mar 7, 09:48 2
- you have no idea how bad I want him to lose -- nm - Epiphany Mar 7, 09:55 1
  - I think we do. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 7, 09:57
Jack, IANAL, but, if I live in Oregon, and am over 18, I have a legal right to buy a rifle. - groiny Mar 7, 09:43 35
- I can see the "but he won't sell me a cake because I'm gay" argument coming into play here. -- nm - Mop Mar 7, 10:06
- [deleted]
- You have a legal right to purchase one, but that gun in Walmart is private property. It belongs to the Walmart corporation and they can choose what - crash davis Mar 7, 09:49 32
  - [deleted] 30
    - Obviously on race. I really don't think he has a leg to stand on as far as age goes though. And Walmart has an easy out to get rid of this lawsuit. - crash davis Mar 7, 10:04 15
      - does that mean that the salesperson did not have prior knowlesge of that impending new policy? - groiny Mar 7, 10:07 2
        
        That policy has been around for quite a while and no storm has occurred. -- nm - crash davis Mar 7, 10:16 1

      - I was just about to ask re: your IM, as to how much discretion employees are allowed to exercise. -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 10:06 7
        
        As an example, I've denied a sale before because I felt this woman who was perfectly legal was buying it for her boyfriend who is not allowed to have -- nm - crash davis Mar 7, 10:14 6
        
        and how did you know that? -- nm - groiny Mar 7, 10:15 5
        
        Because he was in earlier looking at the exact rifle before I denied him and I saw them holding hands a few aisles down before she came to the counter - crash davis Mar 7, 10:20 4
        
        I smell..... - groiny Mar 7, 10:23 3
        
        And you want me to just take your word for that? -- nm - crash davis Mar 7, 10:27 2
        
        can you take my word for it? - Epiphany Mar 7, 10:30 1
        
        I'll take your word. groiny, you're lucky to have a character witness -- nm - crash davis Mar 7, 10:33
      - The Han Solo policy? -- nm - Roger More Mar 7, 10:05 3
        
        There was an episode of Superstore where the dude had to work the gun counter. He found out about the policy and started denying everyone. - crash davis Mar 7, 10:10 2
        
        I love that show, takes me back to my days at Target. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 7, 10:19 1
        
        At least some of the writers did some time in a big box store for sure. -- nm - crash davis Mar 7, 10:21
    - why is that any different than age? -- nm - groiny Mar 7, 10:03 13
      - [deleted]
      - Because federal law has clearly established that age is not a protected category in all cases. There are age restrictions already on firearms. - crash davis Mar 7, 10:06 11
        
        yes, those restrictions say he has to be 18 to buy a rifle. - groiny Mar 7, 10:09 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        I would think, at the very least, that his lawyer must at least think he has a valid argument. - groiny Mar 7, 10:13 5
        
        I suspect he’s getting paid regardless. -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 10:16 3
        
        I highly doubt that this "kid" is going to pay crazy legal fees to make a point. - groiny Mar 7, 10:18 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I can’t imagine there are any other organizations out there who would want to contribute in order to score a legal victory for gun sales. -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 10:20
        
        [deleted]
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I'm going to bet that firearms will be found to fall into the same category as alcohol in the state, insofar as restrictions are legal. -- nm - crash davis Mar 7, 10:11 1
