The workers made a mistake, so the owners are punishing the employees by not allowing them to turn on the heat...and it's been cold here recently. And no...the pizza oven does NOT warm the place up. The exhaust fan for the oven sucks all the heat out of the building.

Read the article and see what kind of total jerkbags the owners are. They don't deserve to own a business.

[The Worthless Miracle]

Evidently they don’t realize that it’s 2009 now, and programmable thermostats are the norm. This is why we end up with thousands of laws and regulations from OSHA & moronic city council resolutions.

[CindyDawg]

Even 55 is too cold. Start delivering cold pizza and I’ll bet they start to care.

[SampleMan]

They don't deserve to own a business.

I suppose the market place will make that decision, like its supposed to.

I've had crappy bosses too. I found a different job.

[Secret Agent Man]

They sound like jerks. Just buy an inexpensive programmable thermostat and program in the different temps for the different times of the day and night, and it becomes a non-issue.

There is something more to this. It is not just about the heat. The owner woman has a stick up her butt about something bigger than just the heat.

SCROOGE: Hey, hey, you there! Bob Cratchit! Come here! What are you doing
there?!

BOB CRATCHIT: I’m only putting a bit more coal in the fire, Mr. Scrooge,
seeing it’s so cold in there, sir.

SCROOGE: You put that coal back into the scuttle! A fire! A fire, indeed. I
can tell you, if you use coal at that rate, you and I will soon be parting
company, Bob Cratchit. You understand that? There’s many a young fella’d like
your situation, you know.

BOB CRATCHIT: I’m sorry, sir. My fingers were getting a little stiff with the
cold—

SCROOGE: Then put on your mittens.

The owners are jerkoffs. If I were an employee I’d tell the owners where to stuff their f***ing pizza dough....

A little taste of what’s to come when Dear Leader starts telling us to reduce our heating, lighting and AC for the benefit of the Climate and to reduce our oil and coal consumption. On the bright side...Dear Leaders National Civilian Corps Barracks will be nicely heated and cooled.

Pizza Time ...We serve the coldest pizza in town or it is free.

[RochesterFan]

Something doesn't make sense here. At the temperatures mentioned in the parent article, I would expect the water pipes to freeze and burst. I thought most buildings were heated to at least 55F to prevent this.

In addition, at around 20F, I would think frostbite on hands would be an issue. That could be one heck of a workman's comp claim... If an employee reported an on-the-job injury as a result of this, imagine what would happen to the owner's insurance premiums.

[Professional Engineer]

Bet the customers love the dining room.

[mbraynard]

I think this is going to change soon.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Hello, you've reached I w-w-work for a s-s-Stupid d-d-Douchebag Pizza, m-m-may I t-t-take your order?

[aShepard]

OK, you’se delivery guys don’t like it?

Goes sits in your own delivery cars with the heat on, we’ll call you when its time for a delivery so your fat ass dosen’t get cold.

Total Bullsh!t!

Methinks this “Pizza Time” won’t be around long.

Per popular demand I've registered at Cabalas but, again, really not necessary.
XOXOX and Happy New Year!

In my late teens I worked the tuna docks in Honolulu. The fish came in frozen. A few other bras, hippies and I would off load the boat and fill crates with the catch in small (~800 sq ft) deep freezers. The work was so cold we were rotated and given a 15 minute break every half hour. I didn't think it was necessary.

There was lots of fish tossing and catching. I once took a couple of inches of dorsal fin in the forearm. It went in at a shallow angle so it was cool.

The boats I worked were Japanese and their crews generally didn't speak English and were very friendly. If you bummed a smoke they would insist that you take the pack.

Those guys should quit. Maybe find work in a sushi restaurant.

I read on another forum that the minimum wage in Washington State went up again and is now the highest in the nation. If this is true, then maybe the owners are trying to make up for increased labor costs without hitting the customers for more money.

[Colvin]

Had a boss once that complained about the workers as she sat in her office, stuffing her face and watching soaps.

I have a much better situation now. When they are messing around they have the decency to leave the building.

[SouthTexas]

They should go find another job.

[free_life]

I didn’t read the full article...didn’t have to.

The guy who owns the business has every right to turn the heat off if he wants to. The employees have the right to quit.
