So I was here the night of Thursday, 11/21, but at 1:12, so essentially the early morning of 11/22. 1 (One) Dollar Pizza was already closed, no lights with the front gate down; I had presumed they'd be open until 2-3am such as on Friday's and Saturday's (actual hours are until 4am on those days) -- thus, I had hoped they'd have similar hours on Tuesday's and Thursday's as well. On a different night, two or three times, later in the night after I had left a bar or something of the sort, I was charged more than the menu price -- only after I had returned later, did I realize. When it's late at night, just ensure you're paying the menu price and not what you're told at the register. But this is just an example of a common institutional problem within our global economy: the concept of profit maximization reigning supreme over that of promoting a minimum level of well-being for all humans. We all know there exists a certain price for a slice in Manhattan, depending on the quality. However, we're all still willing to pay more for more influential/visible brands, such as Papa John's over a dollar slice shop. But that's just part of the problem, people buying/using a brand due to an image rather than what the company stands for (outliers such as Patagonia do exist though, when it comes to addressing environmental impacts). Single use plastics have the potential to be, and are already, devastating to modern society. For example, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch ( whose description I'm linking here, and don't worry I read the entire article before posting it, ( https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/great-pacific-garbage-patch/ ), is just one way in which we're hurting our world, especially since we're not utilizing a regenerative economy/society. Not sure how to end this, cause I love the pizza here [especially if it's fresh] and it's still cheap as hell, so all in all, a good deal.
Sincerely,
A centrist who believes in climate change and the necessity of social initiatives.
