Yea Texicanus I know he’s not a kid anymore but dag would thought he’d WANT to keep Pop’s business going strong.
One thing I learned early on by working for a family business, is that few businesses are successfully passed on to next generation. The founders manage to stay on until they die and their children seldom have the desire, skills, or knowledge of the founder to carry on with the family business. There are exceptions but it easier for the children to take the money and sell the business to new owner(s).
At 61 and with his wealth secured (he probably didn’t need to work), the son should have been thinking about his retirement.
Anyway, down here in Texas we can make a cheap pizza very quickly by scrounging through the fridge for leftovers - toppings, spagetti sauce, cheese, seasoning, and a flour tortilla. Tastes better or worse than Little Caesars depending on what’s available and still edible and how urgently you need a pizza fix.
