Someone needs to teach me this trick of buying pizza with the pizza's own money.

"Dominoes hates this one weird trick."

No, you see the joke is that teachers aren't people.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I think the joke is teachers are Italian but I don’t get this joke it’s too sophisticated for me

You can do this with the amazing power of gun and balaclava.

This is why there are spaces clearly marked for curbside pickup. If you're not in one of the designated spaces and try to pull this you will not get free food.

Don't you usually pay ahead of time for curbside pickup?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

They're saying that if you time it right, they won't get/hear the notification that you've checked in and you can slide into the right spot. Wait awhile and then you'll get refunded because you were "waiting so long"

Which it can work TBH, it just won't be a reliable method by any means

The apostrophe actually makes it a contraction, not possessive. So they're really saying "the underpaid teacher who bought it with it is own money". I know not everyone cares, but that's how our weird language works...

Gotta love that the meme is pointing out how under appreciated the teacher is but then refers to the teacher as “it”.

The disrespect is real.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Playing devil's advocate here: maybe they were trying to be inclusive by not specifiying gender but haven't heard of they. The US education system is a joke in a lot of places so the (hypothetical) teacher may have to think twice before suggesting they change the it's to their. But hey, at least the apostrophe is where it should be and I'd take that as a win for education.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But there shouldn't be an apostrophe there... it's = it is, its = posessive.

Maybe they aren't from the US ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

If I had to guess, the meme was probably made by someone who likely has English as a secondary language. I doubt there was any disrespect intended.

legit I've had people get angry at me for using "they" the same way everyone normally does

Much love for these teachers. They are not paid nearly enough. I hate the corporate pizza party, but not the public school one.

Edit: I wonder if the difference in financial burden between a corporate pizza party and a public school one is a good metric

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago

I'm glad that my nephew's teacher last year sent out a message to allow family to donate to those parties. I've paid for a few.

I'm also sad that it has come to that.

I think it tastes better this size I will fight you on this

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (3 children)

No, there's definitely a science to this. It's the same reason sandwiches taste better if you cut them in a triangle. The sharp points make for the perfect bite size.

And, to this day, I still crave that super thin wedge of pizza once in a while.

I volunteered at a summer camp in college and we had a $30 budget to feed 15 kids + 1.

I bought four Little Caesars $5 dollar pizzas, some dollar store big sodas, and had enough money for big bags of chips.

We made it work! 😭

First I was mad, then I was sad.
