... as I've said previously, I am very worried about our future because I fear we have all gone soft.
Exhibit B? (I already presented Exhibit A back in 2013 in the post linked below/to follow). Dominos now offers a little something something called "Carryout Insurance" -- just in case anything goes horribly wrong between the time you pick your pizza up at their location and the time you arrive at your destination to start chowing down. Should you find yourself in that situation, you simply return to the store (within two hours of purchase) for a replacement.
Back in my day, if you dropped the pizza, you picked it up, brushed it off and you ate it -- 'cause five second rule. And you know what? If you happened to pick up a little dirt as an unexpected extra topping, you actually were better off ingesting it because it built up your immune system so you weren't allergic to every damn thing you might run across in the world.
Lookit, you generation of whiners and softies and victims (note: actual victims who have been silenced by the patriarchal society are excluded from this group) -- I can all but assure you that you will have to face a lot more challenging problems in this f'd up modern life than a dropped pizza. If you think that you are owed restitution for your own pizza-klutziness, then you are a part of the problem and not a part of the solution.
Or, said another way -- if YOU drop your damn pizza, YOU better m-f'in DEAL with it!
IT'S A REAL THING YO:
