and forgets and eventually she finds herself bringing home manna from Heaven once again.<\/p>\n<p>Being an expert on eating pizza, I had disagreed with her assessments in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Pizza has always been at the top of my food pyramid with cheeseburgers and Dobash Cake&#8230;<br \/>\nUntil last night.<\/p>\n<p><a

finding a replacement for rubber.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m sure your potential expansion into the tire business is now assured.<\/p>\n<p><a

line?<\/p>\n<p>Further, I respect your inspired corporate policy that allows the hiring of people who are encouraged to experiment.<br \/>\nAfter all, penicillin was discovered by letting some bread get moldy to see what happened.<\/p>\n<p>Think what could be done with pizza dough!<\/p>\n<p>One can only admire the care and concern that must have gone into producing that product last night.<br \/>\nGood job!<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to what the future holds the next time we may visit your Waipio, Hawaii establishment.<\/p>\n<p>I eagerly wait to see future developments that might provide raw materials for construction or the steel industry.<\/p>\n<p>Think of the potential.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I have the greatest respect for your company&#8217;s fiscal policies and how Pizza Hut makes sure shareholder value continues to grow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/grumpyseniors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/crappy-pizza-1-sized.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail

of decreasing the amount of toppings while keeping the price the same.<\/p>\n<p>This is brilliant and I&#8217;m sure MBA courses will eagerly embrace this innovative idea as a fine example of keeping the customer happy and increasing stock price.<\/p>\n<p>I would be pleased to submit a letter of recommendation upon your request.<\/p>\n<p>I am so impressed with the changes in Pizza Hut that I can only suspect other companies will want to follow suit.<br \/>\nWe have decided to give Papa Johns our business for a while to see how it responds.<\/p>\n<p>These are exciting times and I thank you for joining several other brand leaders on the road to mediocrity.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Damn pizza made me grumpy.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE:<br \/>\nPizza Hut Hawaii Customer Service has not responded to my wonderful email.<br \/>\nMust have made them grumpy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3
