“But let’s not forget the promising career in pizza delivery.”
Those are jobs from the “before-times”; I’ve been in a few pizzerias where the drivers are all lounging around. The discretionary dollars are gone, and when we rarely do order pizza anymore I simply drive to pick it up.
Like most Americans, I have more time than money.
At $20 or more for a restaurant pizza, people will spend $7 for a frozen pizza or make their own. We consider going out for a pizza (no delivery in my rural location)a luxury. Even then, we do our own pick up as well.
