I went into a Middle Easterner-owned pizza place and ordered the discounted large pizza for eating there, it had no sauce, barely any cheese and I went back to the counter and he told me I bought the early bird pizza so what did I expect, I could come back later and pay the full price for the good pizza.
I thought the discounted off-hours price was to win new first-time customers and slow-hour business, but one of us was wrong about something.
If this story is true, it makes no sense. The cost of the ingredients is minimal. Why would the owner ruin his reputation by stinting on ingredients?
