They Had The (Pizza) Time Of Their Lives
Pizza Owner Refuses To Heat Store, Contemplates Ban on Employees Singing ‘Swing Low, Sweet Chariot’ During Working Hours
Ever want to take a trip to Malaysia?
Now you can courtesy of the owners of the Lacey, Washington Pizza Time franchise who’ve gone out of their way to give their employees a little slice of what it must be like to make designer clothing in a third world country.
Bizzia’s own Sean Kelly was all over this story like mozzarella on a sheet pizza and has the story of a franchise owner who not only forced his employees to work without heat but also went on to brag about it to a local news channel.
Pizza Time owner Luke Benjamin also thought it would be a good idea to publicize personal employee data and the fact one of the employees who complained about the heat had a DUI. The owner also bragged he had a bunch of applications for any job his frost-bitten employees didn’t want.
New job applicants are no doubt attracted by the company’s liberal vacation policy which pays them the equivalent of one night’s tips if they agree to work as rowers in the galley of Benjamin’s pleasure galleon in Puget Sound.
As a result of their savvy marketing techniques, Pizza Time has instituted a special promotion to help boost sales. For this week only, anyone ordering a two-topping pizza from the franchise will receive a free copy of Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad. The copy is signed by the owners, is in mint condition and comes with the guarantee it’s never been read.
Anyone who would like to work for Pizza Time is invited to the company’s job fair next weekend where prospective employees will get a free shackle fitting. Please order your shackles one size larger since they tend to shrink at lower temperatures.

Funny take on the situation, Mark. I especially like the Iditerod sponsorship idea.
They gotta be careful when competing against the Wasilla Pizza team, though. I’d keep an eye out for low flying aircraft, automatic weapons and the glint of designer hunting garb.
Or maybe just give the Pizza Time owners some antlers to wear…. :)
