Who in the world is charging that much???

Boston Pizza. Gourmet places charge lots too, but a more traditional restaurant should be better deals.

I looked around at other places and they don't really have anything out of the ordinary today which is surprising. Today's a day I don't care as much about where it comes from, just want best deal and am fine trying new things. Little Caesars is a place I've wanted to try, but the only one in my area is run by stupid people who flat out said they couldn't say the price of the order until its being paid for. Their menu didn't list prices. Sounds like a shady location.

I'm settling for pizza hut. I don't know difference between their regular sauce and 'old world' sauce, but I'll try old world. Never realized how many different sauces people could get on pizza instead of regular sauce.

"Boston Pizza", "Gourmet [pizza] places", "Little Caesars is a place I've been wanting to try", "I'm settling for Pizza Hut"

That post just reads like an assault on everything I love. That's $25 in Canadian dollars right? What's the conversion from monopoly money to freedom bucks?

No surprise, some places jack up prices for SuperBowl.

Medium cheese pizza for almost $25 lol.

At least not everyone does it. I'm getting mine for $8 with toppings lol. And no, it's not a cheap chain, a place by me just has a constant special because franchisers in my neighbourhood thought it'd be good idea having 3 different pizza chains in a 2 block radius. So everyone has to have low prices or else.

If you don't get the weekly deals from the local places around me you'll be paying 17-19$ for one large.

I have no problem with dynamic pricing. It's a close-to-realtime reflection of supply/demand. It sucks when you're paying more because you want something in high demand (e.g. Uber surge pricing), but it has the ancillary benefit of encouraging supply to meet demand at any time.

Also, I always thought it was funny that Canada has a chain called "Boston Pizza", because it's not like Boston is known for their pizza. I mean, everyone knows NY pizza and Chicago-style pizza, but Boston has no identifiable pizza style as far as I know. It's like having a chain called "San Francisco Barbecue".

re: Off-Topic

I had to circle back around three times just to get a glimpse of the frozen pizza section Friday

Egregious error on my part, it was Friday, the 1st of the month, and the last weekday before the super bowl. I'm usually on top of that with my store run plans, but holy **** that store run was a nightmare

I actually had to use my "panic aversion" strategy to walk away from the crowds and regain composure for a few minutes, and even then I had to keep on my toes to stay out of the way.

Stores should have mellow/chill section for people susceptible to overwhelming moments, where weirdos like me can sit for a couple minutes out of the way of everyone else, maybe access some free wifi, regroup, and head back into the onslaught recharged

re: Off-Topic

Random late night thought, why have I kept the same username for almost 15 years when it hasn't been relevant for me for 14 years lol. It hasn't aged well at all.

I wonder what I could change it to. Though it feels like changing my own name. Everyone online knows me by the same username, it'd never feel the same under a different name.

Lol no. Another reason why I wanted to change it. Nobody understands the username or how I know it to be pronounced(I've made it onto a podcast recently and even made national TV. They botched it so bad they made a new rule on the spot about Twitter handles they show on tv) . I just combined 2 names of characters on shows I used to watch. Unfortunately 1 of them I watched for maybe a few months with one of my friends and that was it, but I had this name already and just kept it.

I've always wanted to change it, but if I did, it'd have to be a change on all sites, and of course original(especially Twitter where so many handles are taken) . I can't stand using a name like "username17" or something. I've thought of 1, but it's taken on twitter, though I could just add 'the' at the beginning. Other people have used it on other sites too, not so much ones I'd use though.

Open to any suggestions

Been watching crime shows again, got me thinking you know how gas is odorless and they add the smell so you know there's a leak? Well how come they don't add something to antifreeze to make people stop poisoning each other?
