@deangraves7462 10 ай бұрын

It is actually not hard to make your own ranch mix. The dominant flavor is dill and garlic so it is not hard to just build your own with powdered dill and garlic. So if they are mixing their own ranch, I doubt they would be lazy and not make their own mix of. Especially considering that a gallon of ranch is cheaper then a gallon or mayo.

If a pizza place ever existed, that could actually pay its employees a livable wage... I would fking live in a pizza place come on now lol XD. Worked at Marcos Pizza, loved it - but having to pay rent - even just staying at my moms house - at Walmart stocking for 17.50 an HOUR - which is $7 MORE than what I made at my first job, Marcos Pizza, the entire time I was there (started at $9.45, worked 2 years, and got $10.45 for not leaving, me and 1 other guy. Definitely not livable wages anywhere I think lol, and its like $10 or 11 an hour minimum as of now, will be $15 in the KCMO area in like a few years, feel like I missed my chance lol. I feel like increasing the bottom line wont really do much to jobs that already offer slightly higher pay, but make it harder, like it already ha - for smaller businesses, like Marcos locations, and others - to actually give out better pay, and any sign on benefits like the drivers have.

As a long time Chicagoan, I can say without a doubt that Pequod’s is my favorite deep dish pizza in town. That being said, in general, when it comes to pizza, most Chicago folks tend to eat thin crust tavern style pizza. Sure, this town is known for deep dish (among other food items like hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, giardiniera etc.) but that tends to be what tourists and out of town folk gravitate towards. It’s kind become a destination food item for visitors. Locals don’t really have it all that often. At least, not as much as people seem to think.
