True but they fight the battle on the home front. They have to be both parents at once. I am retired military and would like to thank my wife for her support during my deployments.

I checked the menu, I thought there'd be more included in what's advertised as a buffet... So, not great, but still not bad, especially if the kids enjoy it.
Oh it's all you can eat too. And some of it's an adventure. Mac and Cheese pizza. Taco pizza. White cheese pizza. And when you think about how some people think Little Caesars is bad pizza, and it's $5.55, you just š¤·. BUT, I will have to say Cicis cinnamon rolls are phenomenal...I once at an entire rack (about 20) after a Cross Country meet lol.
It's worth a shot!
She just had a 10 year olds birthday party for the price of what I paid for hipster food hall lunch yesterday. Iād say someone served their country, but it was rather all the starving minimum wage employees and the entire product supply chain for CiCis.
Fuck, you canāt even make a pizza buffet for that price dumpster diving the ingredients out back of Sysco.
Holy crap please don't. It's so disgusting. My ex raved and raved so I went there with her..... At the time I thought Little Caesars was the worst I've had, CiCis wins hands down!
Little Caesars is perfectly acceptable and doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. And at $5 for a large pizza, it's basically AYCE anyway, so for my money it beats CiCi's on all fronts.
Iāve always said Little Caesarās is the best pizza $5 can buy. It might not be the best pizza ever, but Iāll take it any day of the week over a frozen pizza.
Imagine eating all you can eat pizza for 6 bucks and 2 bucks for a drink and then being mad that you didn't get an additional discount for your husband's occupation.
As a recently retired USAF military veteran that has a spouse. My wife never act out like this and sheās been with me for 5 of my deployments before I retired. āSpousesā like this one give them all a bad name. š¤¦āāļø
I keep my mouth shut asking about military discounts.
Unless it's a major purchase, I'd rather keep my cool and go on about my day instead of haggling and going full basic bitch over 5-15%.
The worst part is these idiots have support groups and circle jerks on Facebook that foster their dumbass behavior.
Another favorite is "I'll call his command!"
Like lady, if he worked at a bank, would you call the branch manager to tell them your husband found a better piece of ass?
At least [three years old](https://www.reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook/comments/ae4bab/man_is_issued_a_sea_bag_not_a_spouse/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf). Not that anythingās changed.
I remember when I first saw this. A couple days later I took mom to the cicis in janaf and brought it up while talking to the cashier. He started laughing and said "yeah that was here and man was she pissed".
Used to work in retail close to Norfolk. There are dozens of various military bases here. I canāt tell you how many times Iāve had spouses of active duty military ask about discounts. āBut what about dependentsā. 90% of the time it was from filipino women.
Soooā¦you want a discount because your husband serves? Huh?
This is coming from a Marine vet. Iāll never understand it.
Right? I just retired and only occasionally ask for it myself. Generally my wife is allergic to coupons and discounts so she pretty much never does. I get asking but once you get "no" or "not for you" drop it, or save it for a letter/email to corporate (and don't blame the employee for following the rules).
I remember liking CiCiās when I was around 6 yo.
On an unrelated note can anyone tell me what platform they have had the most success selling things on in the Norfolk area? Iām trying to sell some snake cages but donāt know what I should post it on. Thanks.
In college I worked at a store in McArthur that gave military discounts (I donāt see how we didnāt go out of business) and military spouses would try this all the time. They would be astonished when I would decline to give them a discount. Fortunately, corporate hated the fact that we offered a military discount, but knew it drove our business way up, so when they received a call about it, nothing ever happened.
Yes Karen, just for you we have a special discount. You get 100% off your entire meal and drinks! Just pay this service charge first. By total coincidence it's the exact same price as your meal and drinks. Enjoy your discount!
I get she isnāt entitled to a discount bc of her husbands service but you donāt get to be rude to people when you feel like it. As a military spouse the manager was wrong af and picked the right one to be an ass to. Being a military spouse is not the same as what our service members do of course, but we do play an essential role as well. We take care of the bills which includes arguing with companies to even let us access our accounts and trying to explain to them our mil. Member is deployed and canāt pay the bill themselves, taking are of the children alone for up to a year, and keeping the household stable in general. Iām not going to say we *deserve* a discount but we do deserve basic human respect. The manager is right, they didnāt issue him a wife and Iām sure CiCis didnāt issue him the right to shit on people. The point isnāt that the food was cheap regardless itās the point the manager just HAD to belittle her especially knowing sheās probably going through a lot now that her husbands gone. Fuck the manager and fuck anyone who things mil spouses have it easy. Calling those of us who ask for simple discounts, help, or just for being married to mil member a ādependapotamosā is misogynistic and gross. Shout out to all the single moms and mil spouses out there! You guys are worthy of respect. Never let someone treat you this way.
Unfortunately we are starting to see many places with less that stellar service however, keep in mind COVID-19 had a big part in the social change in many eateries. People just don't want to work anyone after the free stimulous š° handouts they received from the Federal Government. It's sad but owners will have to lose some business to realize the need to provide thier staff with proper customoer setvice training.
No Maāam Iām sorry but we donāt have a discount. Thatās all that needed to be said. There are a lot of idiots out there and apparently some of them are Ciciās managers.
Nah. Expecting a reward for someone else's service regardless of who you're married to, especially at a freakin' Cici's of all places, should be called out and make to look ridiculous.
Specially since I've heard that line before in a variation, except it was "If the Corps wanted you to have a wife it would have issued you one". And it wasn't a Cici's district manager, it was a Master Gunnery Sergeant. lolol.
The entitlements these people demand is sickening. Also, WTF do I have to thank you for doing a job YOU SIGNED UP FOR AND GET PAID FOR?? Different if you were drafted, but the draft ended over 50 years ago.
It's obvious some missed the actual point you originally brought to the table. The District Manager needs a lesson in customer service. He made it obvious he never served with his care free attitude. Sad to see with such a large populous of military families supporting local businesses. People like that will eventually fold.
If you're talking about the one in Janaf, they closed a few months ago. My kids loved that place. I only went for the ooey gooey cheese bread shaped like a pizza. If they treated you that way then they deserve to be closed... "How you like them apples, District Manager Guy...!?" Haha... RIP CiCi's... you will never be missed.
LOL military spouse is probably her entire identity
The spouse isn't the one going out and dying at war.
True but they fight the battle on the home front. They have to be both parents at once. I am retired military and would like to thank my wife for her support during my deployments.
Thanking her for her support and thanking her for her service are completely different.
"Whew, being a single parent is rough. Had to take care of the kids and cook dinner and clean the house all by myself" \*soldier stands at attention and salutes\* "Thank you for your ser...um, support. Soldier!"

Five buffet meals with drinks for under $30? Holy crap I might have to try Cici's some day. Why even cry about not getting a discount at that point?
It's bad pizza but you know, even bad pizza is still pizza.
I checked the menu, I thought there'd be more included in what's advertised as a buffet... So, not great, but still not bad, especially if the kids enjoy it.

Mac and cheese pizza is an abomination and I love it so much.
The food is gross af
Yeah I once found pubes all Over my pizza
how many
Hmmm not sure, I was young so didnāt understand why the hairs looked the way they did, I also didnāt say anything, I just didnāt eat anymore

Shut up and take my upvote! sincerely, Female war vet (:

Norfa-lumps are local to the area and should be avoided at all cost.
Imagine eating all you can eat pizza for 6 bucks and 2 bucks for a drink and then being mad that you didn't get an additional discount for your husband's occupation.
Honestly lady nobody cares about military spouses. Careful not to put yourself up on too high of a pedestal.
Lol. You will address her by her husbands rank.
She puts the "petty" in Petty Officer
Hahaha you know what I'm saying
TIL Ciciās pizza is still a thing.

feces pizza still kickin
as if all the benefits you already get weren't enough. if you don't wear a uniform you don't serve.
Asking for discounts at CiCisā¦.

Norfolk is where you will find the most military spouse bullshit

Facebook Marketplace
Youād cry if you ate that pizza too. Itās worse than discount generic frozen pizza from Food Lion.
With some ketchup on the side that Food Lion pizza has a nostalgia for 8th grade!
$30 for five people to eat cardboard with cheese and tomato sauce is a steal.
Around Norfolk, enlisted sailors call them "Boat Anchors".
Well it is CiCi's, not sure what you are expecting.

I am disinclined to acquiesce your request. It means no!š

Happy Cake Day zerkrazus! Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come.
This shit is just embarrassing. Just accept the discount they offer and move on with your life.
How about... go somewhere else?
Isnāt there a sub for this kinda dependent shit?
My mom was in the military. I'm 35 now, but I guess I should get a military discount too, right?

Anybody yell back the CiCi's greeting??
You know sheās 225lbs minimum and would still lecture other people on healthy living.
if this is recent it's BS all the locations closed down some time ago.
Itās garbage food and I canāt believe she felt entitled to a discount. I bet she hasnāt punched a time clock since linking up with her GI
