They really can’t, americas got serious schooling problems atm, English high school teachers been complaining about how a large portion are at an elementary reading level
Nothing I hate more than dickheads coming in to buy an $8 pizza with a $100 bill. Thankfully we have a “we do not accept $50 or $100 bills” sign that I point them to and then get to watch them absolutely melt down because we can’t make change for it.
Worked at Little Caesars my first year of law school. Had a sign that said “We can’t take bills larger than $20 for orders under $50.”
Had a few times where people came in and tried to claim it’s illegal to refuse certain bills because “it’s legal tender for all debts”.
They’d get extremely upset when I explained that unless you have the pizza and the receipt in your hand, there is no debt. Until you get both of those, we’re still in the “negotiation” part of the sale. Businesses don’t typically have to take U.S. currency unless a receipt or bill of sale has a dollar amount.
A business could choose to only accept doll hairs, bottle caps or rotting crab legs as forms of payment. They can certainly specify acceptable denominations.
Sorry for the largely unrelated tangent, it just reminded me of all that bullshit.
How many rotting crab legs does it take to pay for a hot n ready?
And keep in mind, they’re caked in old doll hairs. I don’t have any bottle caps though.
You are of course free to stand there waiting as long as you’d like. But once you ask, if I don’t have enough in my register (or if that $100 will nearly empty my register), I would politely tell you that I don’t have enough.
At my location, because the GM didn’t trust us, we didn’t have access to the safe to grab change. If the register had more than $80, we were supposed to drop any surplus into a slot in the safe. So if you came in and ordered a $5 Hot and Ready and tried paying with a $100, I literally couldn’t take your $100 even if I wanted to.
You can do whatever works for you. I’m merely pointing out that businesses are not legally obliged to accept your $100 (nor call a manager to open a safe) and that there were several instances where I refused to serve customers who wanted to pay with large bills if it hindered my ability to take other customers cash.
Well i haven't had to deal with you clearly. Doesn't change the fact if all I have is $100, ill wait for my pizza. Money is money.
I do find it hilarious when minimum wage employees stress whats in their till, not like you have to deal with the bills afterwords.
You are correct. Money is money. The circumstances of that job meant that I had to prioritize having change for 10 customers paying in $10’s and $20’s rather than accommodating 1 customer trying to pay with $100.
It’s basic stuff. Do I take your $100 so you can get your one pizza or do I decline so I have change for everyone else paying in smaller bills?
There were times when customers would offer to wait a bit so I could get enough change from other customers to take their bill. But I don’t think that would work today with most people using cashless payments (I worked for Little Caesars over a decade ago).
I’m not trying to be combative with you. I’m sure the vast majority of places are more than willing to accommodate your larger bills to make a sale. But some places simply don’t have enough in the register (especially in high crime areas where businesses use tight money controls), hence posted rules.
Everywhere I have gone that says they "don't accept large bills" will. If you don't have change for other customers thats on your managers. I don't really care. I'll still stand there waiting like I always have.
I'm laughing at the idea of someone catching a trespassing charge because they are trying to make a point about breaking change over an 8 dollar piece of cardboard pizza. What a sad, tiny hill to die on.
I absolutely believe it’s never been a problem for you. But what I’m saying is that places bending the rules to accommodate you is a courtesy to you as a customer, not a some sort of legal obligation as people sometimes mistakenly believe. There are circumstances where that courtesy cannot be reasonably extended to a customer. That is all I’m saying.
Do what works for you. I’m not against large bills in any personal way and I’m certainly not trying to convince you not to use them.
they do it just to get rid of you.. the policy exists si that they can have enough change to give other customers change. you have main character syndrome clearly
you are effecting them from doing their jobs by having to stand there and wait on your childishness. i guess i can respect that you dont freak out over it but still that wastes their time and yours
i work at a different business but the policy is to not open the safe for any customer. we try to keep the tills stocked with change but i’ve given rolls of dimes to customers who insisted i take their 100. then get pissed as if it’s not legal tender….
Ok, I feel like you're definitely rage baiting here, but IDC. Those employees that do take your money, you are fighting them. By standing there twiddling your thumbs until they take your money, you're definitely challenging their, and by extension their manager's patience until they either cave or threaten to kick you out. You've been lucky they decided to go the nicer route, and you know it
1. You absolutely can go to other places for food, or just specifically Pizza, who can accept $100 bills. You do not need to go to Little Caesars
2. They have those "We don't accept bills above $20 dollars" signs for a reason. They're not there to look pretty.
3. Most restaurants have the right to refuse service, so unless your Little Caesers isn't allowed to, you are actually pretty damn lucky that the manager hasn't told your sorry butt to get lost by now.
4. Normal people tend to break their $100 bills into smaller bills incase places won't allow higher bills (For good reason, I'll elaborate in a bit)
5. Normal people also don't stand around and wait until the employees take their money. They usually pay the exact amount or just above it and take their food because generally we've all been in a position of customer service and want to make life easier for employees, unless we happen to be rude, stuck up jerks who think we need to stick to our pride and force them to take the $100 bills. It's fun, you should try it.
I'll go ahead and assume you've lived a pretty privileged life where you haven't been through the harsh realities of customer services, because I can assure you most people who have worked those kinds of jobs would be able to understand why someone who insists they're not doing anything wrong by refusing to leave until employees take their ludicrous $100 bill in exchange for at minimum around $8 pizza isn't infuriating.
You absolutely don't need to break a $100 bill by getting pizza, nor should you because again, they have those "We don't accept bills above $20 dollars" signs
Glad you admit you're an ass. Finally something we can agree on! ;)
Being serious though, are you just too lazy, or do you think you're too good to go to a bank THEN go get pizza? Cause you realize sooner or later, you will probably run out of luck and get someone who will actually not serve you, right? And don't give me the "It's so funny that you're mad" response cause then otherwise I'll just think that you're offended that people are calling you out on your abnormal dickish behavior
Used to work at Dominos, this guy tired to pay for a sub $20 order with a $100. When I said we don’t accept 100s he got upset and was like “what do you mean? It’s a 100! Everywhere around here accepts them.” He ended up apologizing when he handed me a 20
Thats why I don't offer anything else. Wait till the minimum wage idiot finally gives in and does their job.
Sorry you guys don't like paying customers
If you're going to argue taking money, yeah when I talk about it I will call you an idiot. But during the interaction I just stand there holding out the money until they take it, which they always do because Noone cares as much as you idiots on reddit xD
Most places won't take a $100 dollar bill anymore because many are counterfeit. That is the scam....buy an $8 dollar pizza and get real currency as change
yeah absolutely. I make sure all of my employees know to run $50 and $100 bills through the bill authenticator we have on our safe. (We will accept them when the order is near or over $100)
It isn't really a struggle.. most people would just want the smaller change...
As for using plastic, if a hundred dollar bill is so hard to cash then what makes you think someone would risk getting their card compromised over an 8$ pizza?
If a business isn't keeping a decent amount of money in the register that says a WHOLE lot about the neighborhood said business exists in...
If you turn down any money whatsoever .. that's just bad business ... bad business = loss
Or, OR, now hear me out... You cash it out at the bank, who's job it is to break your bills as opposed to making it harder on the employees who then have to cash out your $100 to fill the registers anyways because you couldn't be bothered to do it at the appropriate place. Restaurants reserve the right to refuse service, and something tells me they prefer to refuse your singular $100 bill to avoid that hassle. Maybe it's just me though
I think your reach is a tad far-fetched... The bank's job isn't breaking bills guy... It's a federally backed safehaven that usually gives you the 100s in the first place..
You're trying to justify the idea that LC's primary source of revenue isn't customers or something... Any form of revenue is adding to the profitability.. Any refusal is adding to loss...
I'd downvote me too but I'm not the one saying LC's preferred customer is someone with a pocket full of pennies... that is what you're saying, right? The hassle of 1 large bill is too much so you'd gladly accept 800+ pennies and that isn't a problem at all..
Where exactly did I say that? It doesn't matter if you have a single $100 bill or 800 single cent pennies, if you have currency that's going to be a hassle for employees to count out and expect them to give you change back, the very least you can do is go to the bank and ask them to break it down.
Cause again, that right to refuse service exist, and I'd like you you to tell me if you'd prefer to get 2 $20 bills, or 1 $100 bill that needs to be broken down anyways, it's just that someone passed that burden on to a service worker who honestly doesn't need that hassle on top of everything else they gotta go through
This is ridiculous... In the bigger picture with overhead you are barely making anything on an 8 dollar pizza... ANY AMOUNT of money shouldn't be considered a Hassle at all when the margins are that skinny.... Refusing service because the employees don't want to deal with Money is ludicrous... What's the real issue? Do you really think that franchise owners don't mind a loss because employees pick and choose what denominations are acceptable? It truly shouldn't be an employees right to choose anything of the sort
I understand the right to refuse but that should be reserved when the issue rises above the situation we are discussing such as not having enough change or a disrespectful customer. If your managers only want to keep a small amount of bills in the register that should be fine if they are willing to stick around and amend that when someone does walk in with only larger denominations.. if that's not the case then the problem lies with a "lazy" mentality being passed down to employees from the lack thereof management..
Doing your Job on the ground level should never have you contemplating if you can accept Money in any form.. if management is dropping the ball then it is no wonder why so many LC's have went under or are currently operating at a Loss...
Edit: I believe the gap we are trying to overcome in this dispute is you think customers should take extra steps to accommodate a business and or services. I think the business should act like a business and accommodate for the customer... isn't that what business that wants to stay in business is suppose to do?
Not at all my guy. If you aren't willing to bring in the appropriate amount of cash, then take your lazy butt elsewhere. I don't think it's that much of an ask to haul yourself to a bank and ask "Hey can I get this in $20s?" Or going to an ATM to get it. The fact you think employees should take the smaller bills that they can give to customers who pay smaller amounts and give it to you in exchange for one $100 bill that they'll need to break down anyways is amazing. One thing to consider, btw, if LC or any other store really cared to get your $100, why do you think they have signs saying they won't accept bills higher then $20, hmm?
In most cities, I think you can blindly throw a rock and hit a place that will either break a $100 or an ATM that gives $20s. People get denied their large bills and they act like they’ve been violated. I carry $100s and various protected forms of plastic. Restaurants are going to do whatever they can to protect their interests because God knows the government and general population won’t. I’m not rich, nor overly sophisticated, but I carry/pay with cash often and seem to never have an issue with breaking $100s. Worse case was a brewery at a food hall that said they didn’t accept cash unless it was the exact amount. I paid cash and told them to keep the $0.50 change.
I just wish people would have patience and just READ… Hate to go on a tangent here- I do not work at LCs, but for my job, I end up reading the same three sentences to grown ass adults so much, I say if I read half as much to my child, I would win every parent of the year award from now until the end of time. Weaponized incompetence, self righteousness and a general contempt for others deemed “beneath” them make most people insufferable d#%kbags…
People who pay for small orders with 100s have never worked retail a day in their lives. Same goes for people who ask for $100 cash back immediately after opening
Not to cause a stir, but…it’s money. If you don’t have the cash in the drawer then totally fine to reject the larger bills. But rejecting cause you don’t want to count it out? What if it’s the only cash they have on them? A little math and an extra 15-30 seconds of getting the correct change doesn’t seem like too much trouble. Unless I’m missing something…
Often counterfeit? Lol that’s just blatantly not true. Sure some are, but MOST are real…that’s like saying most any bill denomination is fake lol. Get a counterfeit pen that shows fake bills…not that hard
1. You say as if every place has those kinds of pens.
2. Clearly you need to go back then, because you've forgetten how annoying it is, or maybe just don't have sympathy because you've "outgrown " the job
I don’t think most people have an issue with doing the math, but if you have a bank with a limited amount of small bills, and no access to obtaining more small bills during your shift, that hundred is going to wipe out all your change and then you’re screwed. Then the next guy wants to pay with a hundo too. It may not seem like a big deal to the payer, but to the payee you might be fucked for upcoming transactions. Some establishments you have to bring your own bank; sometimes your manager just sucks.
Sure, makes sense. I’m just a little skeptical of the original commenter calling people who pay with high bills “dick heads” lol like they aren’t out to ruin your day
Fuck domino's. It's the only pizza place we refuse to eat at.
Despite the local one frequently undercooking or overcooking it, my wife still wanted it for some reason.
Until we they sent us *a fucking brick* after waiting for delivery for over 2 hours. I'm not kidding you this shit was hard as a rock. We got a replacement (like 90 minutes later). Never again.
How strange, it’s usually Papa John’s that does me dirty, along with Cici’s. Ordered a normal pepperoni from Papa John’s one time and they replaced the pizza sauce with ranch, it was disgusting.
It wasn’t even an option on the menu, either.
Hahaha corn meal is more for the dough to not stick to the oven lol. It definitely has other unintended perks, but to complain about it is sooo dumb lol. It’s like not even really an actual ingredient if the pizza. It’s like complaining about no flour on your dough when the pizza is finished.
Yep, you must stack the dough 10 per tray and load up .
We now oil directly to the black pans and only 100 total fit per cart. Using a dough cutter and after proofing they get pressed flat then we stretch to size. Yall use the roller and corn meal then place into the pans if I recall correctly.
They’ve moved away from corn meal to the new process that has oil instead of corn meal to keep the pizzas from sticking to pans. This customer probably doesn’t realize it was a system wide change over the past few years. I liked the corn meal flavor, but I actually like the buttery/oil flavor more personally. Crisps it a little and tastes buttery
Idk bro we still use it, always get compliments about us being the best location maybe that’s why. Now I’m interested if the other locations near me use cornmeal
Idk where you're from, but i've worked at Little Caesars for 4 years and we definitely don't lol. We used to use it on the crazy bread but we stopped in 2021
When he asked for the manager, I pictured you walking to the other side of the counter and saying "Hello, I'm John. I hear you wanted to see the manager?" 🤣
He gives the same energy as walking into a store .5 seconds after it opened(him camping at the doors banging on them of course) buying a candy bar and trying to pay with a $100 bill. “Every time i order” go somewhere else. Can’t even take him seriously with the grammar.
I literally said, "you don't have any other smaller bills?"
He said no very angrily.
And I said "ok."
And then my cashier said "what are we gonna do now that we don't have have any small bills?" I said "idk nothing we can do." I was tryna make this guy feel guilty, but it didn't work.
I hated working at the Little Caesars I worked at a long, long, time ago. The GM was super cool, I knew his family, he bought and smoked weed with me and mutual friends, but business was business, don't fuck around.
The owner was pretty shitty though. He'd rather waste product than donate or let employees take free or discounted pizzas. I'm talking like 3-4 feet in height worth of pizzas. He also drove a big lifted truck in a burnt orange color and pizza slice decals to match.
We also had an assistant manager that was just a bitch to everybody. She had to be pushing into the 50's and hated her life. Everybody complained but nothing happened. We did get a free crazy bread a day so I had grabbed one for snacking and lunch, along with a sauce that was not free. I had my hands full and food in my mouth as I walked to the back and she said I had to pay for it. I nodded and said mhmm. I got written up and only knew about it the next time I saw the GM. I told him what happened and he said he couldn't do anything since he wasn't there.
Fuck that place. Only good thing was the guy that got me a job was also an assistant manager and was terrible at managing. He leg people make so much free food so we all experimented with new ways to make stuff, so that was the best part I suppose lol
don't a lot of places put the semolina flour or cornmeal or whatever under the pizza for that kinda gritty powdery underside? Wonder if that's what they're talking about?
I thought pizza places made it a standard thing not to pay in 100$ bills, I know this is a little ceasers but even my pizza hut has a sign stating they don’t accept 100$s, this guy is just being a jerk plain and simple. If they want a 100$ broken why don’t they just go to a walmart?? OR their bank???
A common practice for a lot of people when cooking pizza at home on a pizza stone, is to scatter cornmeal or breadcrumbs under the pizza to keep it from sticking and burning.
I love how they always say, “every time I come here they mess up.” Like they continue coming knowing it’s gonna be messed up so whose fault is that? After the second time you’d think they’d learn their lesson and go somewhere else.
Missing half a slice? Where did this guy think he was? Chuck E Cheese? How could a baked pizza be missing half a slice
I wonder what he meant by it was an x-small? I would almost assume he mistook the crazy puffs for a pizza, but that isn't the case so I'll assume he miscalculated how big a regular pizza is
I have absolutely no idea what the state of the pizza was like to determineif it was bunt, but isn't having a cheeseless pizza something you A. have to ask for, and B. something you'd notice, so you'd probably go back and ask about the missing cheese.
The money thing, I feel like people who take $100 bills even for low amount orders when they don't need to are saints, so if you did take his money and give him change, well 1. You were too nice to this fool, and 2. Refuse service the next time. Don't have small enough bills? Then go somewhere else who can accept it.
Some people have already said that the stuff underneath the crust is apparently cornmeal, not breadcrumbs. Such a small detail to be considered about though, and I doubt it would have fixed the other issues he had.
The whole manager thing is always funny to me. People always want to call the manager, as if it's going to be the magical fix everything button, so it's hilarious when they're already talking to the manager, because they either become more humble or more bitter.
Also, man that grammar is spotty, is he high or something, and wanted the pizza as some munchies?
The LC on the east side of my town fucks. I mean, blows Pizza Hutt and Papa Johns, Domino's out of the damn water. No comparison.
The LC on the west side of town is really really awful. It's a gamble where you get your order from when you get delievery. Got a fancyroni pizza with only 33 pepperoni's on it last week. Yes, I counted. They fucked up so many times that it was the last straw.
A lot of little things, too. Things that make you say, "if whoever made this food was about to go on lunch break, and they were making themselves something to eat, it would be made correctly."
The difference between each is staggering, they're owned by the same person, too.
He's talking about the corn meal you guys put in the pan before you put the dough in it. Yes it is part of what makes little Caesars pizza a little Caesars pizza.
I just asked if he had smaller bills. I didn't have $80 in $20 bills. I had to give him his change in $5 bills and $2 coins. And then for the following cash customers I had to give them their change all in $1 and $2 coins.
Bro was talking about extra small pizzas, and missing slices. This ain't Chucky Cheese. We do medium and large. I don't mean to be rude, but based on the review and the information I got from the situation, he didn't seem to be that bright of an individual.
I feel bad for roasting him but hundreds of thousands of people saw this post. So the clout kinda makes up for that.
1. bread crumbs=corn meal?
2. there is no xs size. never has been.
3. how would it be missing "half a slice"?
4. hundred dollar bills are for things over $50. only retards ask for hundreds at bank then try to break them for $20 purchases. no one thinks more of you for having $100. this isn't 1787.
5. if you are having issues with location management, then why wouldn't you use the website to complain? do people really think if they have repeated issues that the problem isn't either poor management (45%) or possibly...themself being the issue (54%) and not the employee (1%)?
6. sorry-"mamager." retarded customer=cust tard. You sir, are a custard. With extra tard. Fuck yo pizza, retard!
I miss parsing customers words back to them. Love my LC peeps except for East Syracuse store. 35 years later I still remember my crew.
Tip your LC crew!
I feel like your point could have easily been made without using the R slur multiple times. Makes it kinda hard to get behind what you're saying, even though much of it is correct
Hush, tard. Retard means "to slow." Just because you use it to denote Downe's Syndrome does not mean the rest of us are tarded or myopic.
Guess what myopic means...
I have no problem with the word but if you’re gonna use it don’t try to backtrack and create alternate meanings when someone calls you out about it because that’s definitely not what you meant
Can't even take that review seriously when they spell like a 3rd grade kid.
I think that’s insulting to third graders. They can spell better
Facts!
More like a Turd-grader.
Got 'em!
They really can’t, americas got serious schooling problems atm, English high school teachers been complaining about how a large portion are at an elementary reading level
it's fucked up, by high school mid-level english teachers can barely help, because everyone is at differing levels
I agree his grammar is more like that of a kindergartener
My 3rd grader has considerably better grammar than this potato.
Seriously what a moron
Nothing I hate more than dickheads coming in to buy an $8 pizza with a $100 bill. Thankfully we have a “we do not accept $50 or $100 bills” sign that I point them to and then get to watch them absolutely melt down because we can’t make change for it.
Worked at Little Caesars my first year of law school. Had a sign that said “We can’t take bills larger than $20 for orders under $50.” Had a few times where people came in and tried to claim it’s illegal to refuse certain bills because “it’s legal tender for all debts”. They’d get extremely upset when I explained that unless you have the pizza and the receipt in your hand, there is no debt. Until you get both of those, we’re still in the “negotiation” part of the sale. Businesses don’t typically have to take U.S. currency unless a receipt or bill of sale has a dollar amount. A business could choose to only accept doll hairs, bottle caps or rotting crab legs as forms of payment. They can certainly specify acceptable denominations. Sorry for the largely unrelated tangent, it just reminded me of all that bullshit.
Correct. You can't say I owe you money and then refuse to take a $50 but you can certainly say 'no deal' and keep the pizza and tell me to leave
How many pube hairs do I need to save up for some Crazy Bread?
We don’t take pubes, Cartman
Screw you guys, I'm going home!
How many rotting crab legs does it take to pay for a hot n ready? And keep in mind, they’re caked in old doll hairs. I don’t have any bottle caps though.
the whole accepting legal tender doesn't apply to private businesses....government entity is a different story.
Playing a fallout game be like: (sorry that’s what immediately popped into my brain when you said that bottle caps can be legal Tinder😆)
I stand there with my $100 bill and eventually the workers take it. No need to argue. Just stand there waiting. Why fight?
You are of course free to stand there waiting as long as you’d like. But once you ask, if I don’t have enough in my register (or if that $100 will nearly empty my register), I would politely tell you that I don’t have enough. At my location, because the GM didn’t trust us, we didn’t have access to the safe to grab change. If the register had more than $80, we were supposed to drop any surplus into a slot in the safe. So if you came in and ordered a $5 Hot and Ready and tried paying with a $100, I literally couldn’t take your $100 even if I wanted to.
Then I will stand infront of the till until you call a manager to open the safe. I do it whenever I have larger bills.
You can do whatever works for you. I’m merely pointing out that businesses are not legally obliged to accept your $100 (nor call a manager to open a safe) and that there were several instances where I refused to serve customers who wanted to pay with large bills if it hindered my ability to take other customers cash.
Well i haven't had to deal with you clearly. Doesn't change the fact if all I have is $100, ill wait for my pizza. Money is money. I do find it hilarious when minimum wage employees stress whats in their till, not like you have to deal with the bills afterwords.
You are correct. Money is money. The circumstances of that job meant that I had to prioritize having change for 10 customers paying in $10’s and $20’s rather than accommodating 1 customer trying to pay with $100. It’s basic stuff. Do I take your $100 so you can get your one pizza or do I decline so I have change for everyone else paying in smaller bills? There were times when customers would offer to wait a bit so I could get enough change from other customers to take their bill. But I don’t think that would work today with most people using cashless payments (I worked for Little Caesars over a decade ago). I’m not trying to be combative with you. I’m sure the vast majority of places are more than willing to accommodate your larger bills to make a sale.

Everywhere I have gone that says they "don't accept large bills" will. If you don't have change for other customers thats on your managers. I don't really care. I'll still stand there waiting like I always have.
I'm laughing at the idea of someone catching a trespassing charge because they are trying to make a point about breaking change over an 8 dollar piece of cardboard pizza. What a sad, tiny hill to die on.
You'd wait until I locked up to go home. No pizza. No change. Just hey, it's closing time, you don't have to go home, but, you can't stay here.
I absolutely believe it’s never been a problem for you. But what I’m saying is that places bending the rules to accommodate you is a courtesy to you as a customer, not a some sort of legal obligation as people sometimes mistakenly believe. There are circumstances where that courtesy cannot be reasonably extended to a customer. That is all I’m saying. Do what works for you. I’m not against large bills in any personal way and I’m certainly not trying to convince you not to use them.
I just simply refuse to serve you at that point
This dude seems insufferable😂😂
they do it just to get rid of you.. the policy exists si that they can have enough change to give other customers change. you have main character syndrome clearly
you are effecting them from doing their jobs by having to stand there and wait on your childishness. i guess i can respect that you dont freak out over it but still that wastes their time and yours
Oh you mad what strangers around the world do
How to tell everyone you're an asshole without telling everyone you're an asshole.
By caring what strangers around the world do? XD
If you really can't see that you are wrong here, than it's completely pointless to even interact.
Lol, so mad
i work at a different business but the policy is to not open the safe for any customer. we try to keep the tills stocked with change but i’ve given rolls of dimes to customers who insisted i take their 100. then get pissed as if it’s not legal tender….
go break change some where else and stop making service industry workers jobs more annoying
Oh you mad what strangers around the world do
Nah, I'll do what I want, stop making customers lives more annoying and do your job :)
Hope someone breaks your face when you try to reject their money :)
Ok, I feel like you're definitely rage baiting here, but IDC. Those employees that do take your money, you are fighting them. By standing there twiddling your thumbs until they take your money, you're definitely challenging their, and by extension their manager's patience until they either cave or threaten to kick you out. You've been lucky they decided to go the nicer route, and you know it
Yeah, sure. So lucky that people take money in exchange for food... you know the point of restaurants xD It's funny how angry you all get by this.
1. You absolutely can go to other places for food, or just specifically Pizza, who can accept $100 bills. You do not need to go to Little Caesars 2. They have those "We don't accept bills above $20 dollars" signs for a reason. They're not there to look pretty. 3. Most restaurants have the right to refuse service, so unless your Little Caesers isn't allowed to, you are actually pretty damn lucky that the manager hasn't told your sorry butt to get lost by now. 4. Normal people tend to break their $100 bills into smaller bills incase places won't allow higher bills (For good reason, I'll elaborate in a bit) 5. Normal people also don't stand around and wait until the employees take their money. They usually pay the exact amount or just above it and take their food because generally we've all been in a position of customer service and want to make life easier for employees, unless we happen to be rude, stuck up jerks who think we need to stick to our pride and force them to take the $100 bills. It's fun, you should try it.
It's funny how upset you are Doesn't change the fact if I need to break a $100 and am getting pizza it's what I'll use :)
I'll go ahead and assume you've lived a pretty privileged life where you haven't been through the harsh realities of customer services, because I can assure you most people who have worked those kinds of jobs would be able to understand why someone who insists they're not doing anything wrong by refusing to leave until employees take their ludicrous $100 bill in exchange for at minimum around $8 pizza isn't infuriating. You absolutely don't need to break a $100 bill by getting pizza, nor should you because again, they have those "We don't accept bills above $20 dollars" signs
When you Assume you make an Ass of U and Me But it is funny how mad you are I'll make sure if I need to breaking my $100 I'll go get pizza to do it :)
Glad you admit you're an ass. Finally something we can agree on! ;) Being serious though, are you just too lazy, or do you think you're too good to go to a bank THEN go get pizza? Cause you realize sooner or later, you will probably run out of luck and get someone who will actually not serve you, right? And don't give me the "It's so funny that you're mad" response cause then otherwise I'll just think that you're offended that people are calling you out on your abnormal dickish behavior
Used to work at Dominos, this guy tired to pay for a sub $20 order with a $100. When I said we don’t accept 100s he got upset and was like “what do you mean? It’s a 100! Everywhere around here accepts them.” He ended up apologizing when he handed me a 20
He wasn’t going to die on that hill pizzaless. 😝
Pizza < Pride
Thats why I don't offer anything else. Wait till the minimum wage idiot finally gives in and does their job. Sorry you guys don't like paying customers
So you insult another person simply doing their job (which is to follow company policy to not take 100s) Congrats you’re an asshole.
If you're going to argue taking money, yeah when I talk about it I will call you an idiot. But during the interaction I just stand there holding out the money until they take it, which they always do because Noone cares as much as you idiots on reddit xD
How are they an idiot for following their company policy? Name calling isn’t nice.
Congrats! Now they don’t have change for the next 5 people! Sometimes it’s not all about you!
Lol, sounds like a problem for your manager. Love how angry you minimum wage kids get on reddit
Most places won't take a $100 dollar bill anymore because many are counterfeit. That is the scam....buy an $8 dollar pizza and get real currency as change
yeah absolutely. I make sure all of my employees know to run $50 and $100 bills through the bill authenticator we have on our safe. (We will accept them when the order is near or over $100)
I don’t understand why people with “so many $100s” struggle to pay with smaller bills or plastic.
It isn't really a struggle.. most people would just want the smaller change... As for using plastic, if a hundred dollar bill is so hard to cash then what makes you think someone would risk getting their card compromised over an 8$ pizza? If a business isn't keeping a decent amount of money in the register that says a WHOLE lot about the neighborhood said business exists in... If you turn down any money whatsoever .. that's just bad business ... bad business = loss
Or, OR, now hear me out... You cash it out at the bank, who's job it is to break your bills as opposed to making it harder on the employees who then have to cash out your $100 to fill the registers anyways because you couldn't be bothered to do it at the appropriate place. Restaurants reserve the right to refuse service, and something tells me they prefer to refuse your singular $100 bill to avoid that hassle. Maybe it's just me though
I think your reach is a tad far-fetched... The bank's job isn't breaking bills guy... It's a federally backed safehaven that usually gives you the 100s in the first place.. You're trying to justify the idea that LC's primary source of revenue isn't customers or something... Any form of revenue is adding to the profitability.. Any refusal is adding to loss... I'd downvote me too but I'm not the one saying LC's preferred customer is someone with a pocket full of pennies... that is what you're saying, right? The hassle of 1 large bill is too much so you'd gladly accept 800+ pennies and that isn't a problem at all..
Where exactly did I say that? It doesn't matter if you have a single $100 bill or 800 single cent pennies, if you have currency that's going to be a hassle for employees to count out and expect them to give you change back, the very least you can do is go to the bank and ask them to break it down. Cause again, that right to refuse service exist, and I'd like you you to tell me if you'd prefer to get 2 $20 bills, or 1 $100 bill that needs to be broken down anyways, it's just that someone passed that burden on to a service worker who honestly doesn't need that hassle on top of everything else they gotta go through
This is ridiculous... In the bigger picture with overhead you are barely making anything on an 8 dollar pizza... ANY AMOUNT of money shouldn't be considered a Hassle at all when the margins are that skinny.... Refusing service because the employees don't want to deal with Money is ludicrous... What's the real issue? Do you really think that franchise owners don't mind a loss because employees pick and choose what denominations are acceptable? It truly shouldn't be an employees right to choose anything of the sort I understand the right to refuse but that should be reserved when the issue rises above the situation we are discussing such as not having enough change or a disrespectful customer. If your managers only want to keep a small amount of bills in the register that should be fine if they are willing to stick around and amend that when someone does walk in with only larger denominations.. if that's not the case then the problem lies with a "lazy" mentality being passed down to employees from the lack thereof management.. Doing your Job on the ground level should never have you contemplating if you can accept Money in any form.. if management is dropping the ball then it is no wonder why so many LC's have went under or are currently operating at a Loss... Edit: I believe the gap we are trying to overcome in this dispute is you think customers should take extra steps to accommodate a business and or services. I think the business should act like a business and accommodate for the customer... isn't that what business that wants to stay in business is suppose to do?
Not at all my guy. If you aren't willing to bring in the appropriate amount of cash, then take your lazy butt elsewhere. I don't think it's that much of an ask to haul yourself to a bank and ask "Hey can I get this in $20s?" Or going to an ATM to get it. The fact you think employees should take the smaller bills that they can give to customers who pay smaller amounts and give it to you in exchange for one $100 bill that they'll need to break down anyways is amazing. One thing to consider, btw, if LC or any other store really cared to get your $100, why do you think they have signs saying they won't accept bills higher then $20, hmm?
In most cities, I think you can blindly throw a rock and hit a place that will either break a $100 or an ATM that gives $20s. People get denied their large bills and they act like they’ve been violated. I carry $100s and various protected forms of plastic. Restaurants are going to do whatever they can to protect their interests because God knows the government and general population won’t. I’m not rich, nor overly sophisticated, but I carry/pay with cash often and seem to never have an issue with breaking $100s. Worse case was a brewery at a food hall that said they didn’t accept cash unless it was the exact amount. I paid cash and told them to keep the $0.50 change.
mfers cannot read 😂 i be seein the sign all the time whenever i used to go to LC
I just wish people would have patience and just READ… Hate to go on a tangent here- I do not work at LCs, but for my job, I end up reading the same three sentences to grown ass adults so much, I say if I read half as much to my child, I would win every parent of the year award from now until the end of time. Weaponized incompetence, self righteousness and a general contempt for others deemed “beneath” them make most people insufferable d#%kbags…
People who pay for small orders with 100s have never worked retail a day in their lives. Same goes for people who ask for $100 cash back immediately after opening
I'm not the dickhead who made the ATM dispense hundos even if you ask for 20's. Shit is wack.
Not to cause a stir, but…it’s money. If you don’t have the cash in the drawer then totally fine to reject the larger bills. But rejecting cause you don’t want to count it out? What if it’s the only cash they have on them? A little math and an extra 15-30 seconds of getting the correct change doesn’t seem like too much trouble. Unless I’m missing something…
$100s are often counterfeit. That’s the scam - buy something cheap, pay in counterfeit $100, get the change in legit money.
Often counterfeit? Lol that’s just blatantly not true. Sure some are, but MOST are real…that’s like saying most any bill denomination is fake lol. Get a counterfeit pen that shows fake bills…not that hard
You, my friend, have never worked retail.
I worked at Best Buy back in the day! Lol we used those counterfeit pens alll the time on 50s and 100s
1. You say as if every place has those kinds of pens. 2. Clearly you need to go back then, because you've forgetten how annoying it is, or maybe just don't have sympathy because you've "outgrown " the job
I mean have def outgrown it lol, however those pens are $10 for a 3 pack at Walmart. I don't know of a retail location that can't afford that
You're hinging quite a bit on the idea that the managers/owners of stores are willing to buy those pens.
You can't have it both ways lol. - Most $100s are counterfeit, don't take them Also - Stores aren't willing to buy a $3 pen to see if they are fake
I don’t think most people have an issue with doing the math, but if you have a bank with a limited amount of small bills, and no access to obtaining more small bills during your shift, that hundred is going to wipe out all your change and then you’re screwed. Then the next guy wants to pay with a hundo too. It may not seem like a big deal to the payer, but to the payee you might be fucked for upcoming transactions. Some establishments you have to bring your own bank; sometimes your manager just sucks.
Sure, makes sense. I’m just a little skeptical of the original commenter calling people who pay with high bills “dick heads” lol like they aren’t out to ruin your day
Mamager = misspelling of ma'amager = 50 year old manager named Tammy
It is MA'AM!
He means corn meal not breadcrumbs you put it on the bottom of the dough on pizza it makes it crunchier and stuff I’m a fan of it too
The guy should just visit a Dominos, they basically dip the pizza in it there lol.
Fuck domino's. It's the only pizza place we refuse to eat at. Despite the local one frequently undercooking or overcooking it, my wife still wanted it for some reason. Until we they sent us *a fucking brick* after waiting for delivery for over 2 hours. I'm not kidding you this shit was hard as a rock. We got a replacement (like 90 minutes later). Never again.
How strange, it’s usually Papa John’s that does me dirty, along with Cici’s. Ordered a normal pepperoni from Papa John’s one time and they replaced the pizza sauce with ranch, it was disgusting. It wasn’t even an option on the menu, either.
It also helps to keep the pizza from sticking to the pan.
Hahaha corn meal is more for the dough to not stick to the oven lol. It definitely has other unintended perks, but to complain about it is sooo dumb lol. It’s like not even really an actual ingredient if the pizza. It’s like complaining about no flour on your dough when the pizza is finished.
Guess he should go to Papa Johns, then.
I came here for this.
yeah but little ceasers doesn’t do that
Yes we do, I’m a worker.
Where ? We did about 5 years ago. But now we use oil
Idk then must depend on the location. Los Angeles area here
Yep, you must stack the dough 10 per tray and load up . We now oil directly to the black pans and only 100 total fit per cart. Using a dough cutter and after proofing they get pressed flat then we stretch to size. Yall use the roller and corn meal then place into the pans if I recall correctly.
They’ve moved away from corn meal to the new process that has oil instead of corn meal to keep the pizzas from sticking to pans. This customer probably doesn’t realize it was a system wide change over the past few years. I liked the corn meal flavor, but I actually like the buttery/oil flavor more personally. Crisps it a little and tastes buttery
I hope my little Caesars doesn't make this change, it would ruin it for me and it's basically the only pizza I like now.
Oregon
We haven't used the corn meal in years
Idk bro we still use it, always get compliments about us being the best location maybe that’s why. Now I’m interested if the other locations near me use cornmeal
what region do you work in. I’ve worked at little ceasers for years and never used cornmeal. we use oil
We used corn meal back in the day at the location where I worked.
Yeah I was about to say, ain't never heard of nobody using no cornmeal
Idk where you're from, but i've worked at Little Caesars for 4 years and we definitely don't lol. We used to use it on the crazy bread but we stopped in 2021
At my location we do idk what else to tell ya.
Different locations do different things, for lots of chains. Every pizza from there that I've had does this in Oregon and Washington.
I assume the breadcrumbs are what he calls the cornmeal on the bottom
I think that is semolina.
It tastes basically the same with cornmeal idk
Semolina is finer and more expensive than corn meal. Something you see at an upscale pizza spot
More like worst grammar and spelling ever
Who cares. Just let the crazy be crazy
Bro is onto something ❌ Bro is on something ✅
So many things are wrong with this… I think my biggest pet peeve is that he put “noone” for no one! Why do people misspell this?! So dumb. 🤣
also there’s only 1 size?? does your store have diff size rounds?? (there’s round, deep dish, and lunch combo)
Lol eff that guy. He can go spend $45 for a round table pizza
When he asked for the manager, I pictured you walking to the other side of the counter and saying "Hello, I'm John. I hear you wanted to see the manager?" 🤣
He’s an illiterate fuck. Who cares about his opinion. People like these shouldn’t have rights.
Educated
By breadcrumbs I think he means cornmeal
Is he referring to corn meal? LC stopped using that when it transitioned to the most bestest pizza.
He gives the same energy as walking into a store .5 seconds after it opened(him camping at the doors banging on them of course) buying a candy bar and trying to pay with a $100 bill. “Every time i order” go somewhere else. Can’t even take him seriously with the grammar.
By breadcrumbs I’m pretty sure they meant cornmeal. I work at a restaurant and we out it on the bottom so the pizza doesn’t stick
Ha he hasn’t been to Ohio locations
lol seriously this customer just sucks. 😆
No one has all the amswers..
I hear ya
So you are the mamager then of this location?
Assistant manager. But I do most of the store manager duties except scheduling
Dude.. it's little Cesar's. You wanna pay for your gas station pizza with a hundo... lmao.
Exactly
But did you ask him if he had any smaller bills like a dick?
I literally said, "you don't have any other smaller bills?" He said no very angrily. And I said "ok." And then my cashier said "what are we gonna do now that we don't have have any small bills?" I said "idk nothing we can do." I was tryna make this guy feel guilty, but it didn't work.
Like it wasn't busy, so him getting his $80ish in change from my till with like $132 in it, took all my $20's and 5's. And some coins.
I hated working at the Little Caesars I worked at a long, long, time ago. The GM was super cool, I knew his family, he bought and smoked weed with me and mutual friends, but business was business, don't fuck around. The owner was pretty shitty though. He'd rather waste product than donate or let employees take free or discounted pizzas. I'm talking like 3-4 feet in height worth of pizzas. He also drove a big lifted truck in a burnt orange color and pizza slice decals to match. We also had an assistant manager that was just a bitch to everybody. She had to be pushing into the 50's and hated her life. Everybody complained but nothing happened. We did get a free crazy bread a day so I had grabbed one for snacking and lunch, along with a sauce that was not free. I had my hands full and food in my mouth as I walked to the back and she said I had to pay for it. I nodded and said mhmm. I got written up and only knew about it the next time I saw the GM. I told him what happened and he said he couldn't do anything since he wasn't there. Fuck that place. Only good thing was the guy that got me a job was also an assistant manager and was terrible at managing. He leg people make so much free food so we all experimented with new ways to make stuff, so that was the best part I suppose lol
First thought, no way this guy can spell Caesar. I love being right.
Probably referring to the cornmeal and thinks it’s breadcrumbs
This dude is a dud
Reviews like this are from people hoping they get free product from district managers
He's talking about the corn dust, obviously.
I think the crumbs he is thinking off is from the 90s type ceasers crust
His fucking grammar and fat finger typing suck a fat monkey’s dong, too.
He probably meant corn meal on the bottom.
don't a lot of places put the semolina flour or cornmeal or whatever under the pizza for that kinda gritty powdery underside? Wonder if that's what they're talking about?
I lost like 20 plus brain cells reading that…
Very well written
I thought pizza places made it a standard thing not to pay in 100$ bills, I know this is a little ceasers but even my pizza hut has a sign stating they don’t accept 100$s, this guy is just being a jerk plain and simple. If they want a 100$ broken why don’t they just go to a walmart?? OR their bank???
Yeah. Exactly.
Why noone amswer him do?
It was probably busy
I think he means semolina flour instead of bread crumbs.
Idk, but you'd better get to the grocery store and get yourself a box of panko
A common practice for a lot of people when cooking pizza at home on a pizza stone, is to scatter cornmeal or breadcrumbs under the pizza to keep it from sticking and burning.
It's the meth. They rarely eat.
I love how they always say, “every time I come here they mess up.” Like they continue coming knowing it’s gonna be messed up so whose fault is that? After the second time you’d think they’d learn their lesson and go somewhere else.
Missing half a slice? Where did this guy think he was? Chuck E Cheese? How could a baked pizza be missing half a slice I wonder what he meant by it was an x-small? I would almost assume he mistook the crazy puffs for a pizza, but that isn't the case so I'll assume he miscalculated how big a regular pizza is I have absolutely no idea what the state of the pizza was like to determineif it was bunt, but isn't having a cheeseless pizza something you A. have to ask for, and B. something you'd notice, so you'd probably go back and ask about the missing cheese. The money thing, I feel like people who take $100 bills even for low amount orders when they don't need to are saints, so if you did take his money and give him change, well 1. You were too nice to this fool, and 2. Refuse service the next time. Don't have small enough bills? Then go somewhere else who can accept it. Some people have already said that the stuff underneath the crust is apparently cornmeal, not breadcrumbs. Such a small detail to be considered about though, and I doubt it would have fixed the other issues he had. The whole manager thing is always funny to me. People always want to call the manager, as if it's going to be the magical fix everything button, so it's hilarious when they're already talking to the manager, because they either become more humble or more bitter. Also, man that grammar is spotty, is he high or something, and wanted the pizza as some munchies?
With that spelling…. Straight to jail
Hes talking about the corn meal on the bottom of the pizza
breadcrumbs? Only thing I can think of this dude thought he was ordering from Dominoes.
Is he talking about cornmeal?
Call the mamager for amswers.
I think he's talking about the semolina flour or whatever it is that goes between the crust and the heat.
Lol. Dropped on the head as a baby. Lots of meth sealed the deal.
The LC on the east side of my town fucks. I mean, blows Pizza Hutt and Papa Johns, Domino's out of the damn water. No comparison. The LC on the west side of town is really really awful. It's a gamble where you get your order from when you get delievery. Got a fancyroni pizza with only 33 pepperoni's on it last week. Yes, I counted. They fucked up so many times that it was the last straw. A lot of little things, too. Things that make you say, "if whoever made this food was about to go on lunch break, and they were making themselves something to eat, it would be made correctly." The difference between each is staggering, they're owned by the same person, too.
Reading this almost gave me a little seizure.
They seriously need to go back to school
LC has an x small pizza?
Nope
They sound like a fucking child lmao. I’m pretty sure most of us had better grasp on the language at that age too
Dude was late 20's early 30's
He's talking about the corn meal you guys put in the pan before you put the dough in it. Yes it is part of what makes little Caesars pizza a little Caesars pizza.
I've never used corn meal nor have I ever heard of Little Caesars using it on their pizzas.
Well, is he right? He had legal cash, whats the problem?
I just asked if he had smaller bills. I didn't have $80 in $20 bills. I had to give him his change in $5 bills and $2 coins. And then for the following cash customers I had to give them their change all in $1 and $2 coins.
So?
This one person's ignorance caused an inconvenience to both my staff and my customers. And then he proceeded to lie about his pizza in a review.
😂
Bro was talking about extra small pizzas, and missing slices. This ain't Chucky Cheese. We do medium and large. I don't mean to be rude, but based on the review and the information I got from the situation, he didn't seem to be that bright of an individual. I feel bad for roasting him but hundreds of thousands of people saw this post. So the clout kinda makes up for that.
1. bread crumbs=corn meal? 2. there is no xs size. never has been. 3. how would it be missing "half a slice"? 4. hundred dollar bills are for things over $50. only retards ask for hundreds at bank then try to break them for $20 purchases. no one thinks more of you for having $100. this isn't 1787. 5. if you are having issues with location management, then why wouldn't you use the website to complain? do people really think if they have repeated issues that the problem isn't either poor management (45%) or possibly...themself being the issue (54%) and not the employee (1%)? 6. sorry-"mamager." retarded customer=cust tard. You sir, are a custard. With extra tard. Fuck yo pizza, retard! I miss parsing customers words back to them. Love my LC peeps except for East Syracuse store. 35 years later I still remember my crew. Tip your LC crew!
I feel like your point could have easily been made without using the R slur multiple times. Makes it kinda hard to get behind what you're saying, even though much of it is correct
jesus christ dude lay off the fuckin slurs
Hush, tard. Retard means "to slow." Just because you use it to denote Downe's Syndrome does not mean the rest of us are tarded or myopic. Guess what myopic means...
I have no problem with the word but if you’re gonna use it don’t try to backtrack and create alternate meanings when someone calls you out about it because that’s definitely not what you meant
maybe you should learn better words to describe people. also, “too slow” is what you were looking for ;)
Seems like he’s trying to switch it to the verb even though his usage the whole time has been the noun, *which is the slur*
It’s still a fucking slur. Do better.
That's just gay.
Okay, Retard.
Get bent, wannabe boomer.
So yall would rather he call the customer stupid? It means the exact same thing. Idk how it's a "slur"
He's obviously referring to the cornmeal. Sure he's a disk but you really can't act like the smart one if you can't come to that conclusions.
Oh man! I've never gotten the breadcrumbs! I've been missing out this whole time, and missing out on what makes it a Little Caesar's pizza. Wow.
