Acadiana Pizza Wars (brought to you by Schultzy)

Every weekend there is a pilgrimage of college students to Domino's at the corner of Johnston and East University. I guess college students don't have the refined taste that us old guys have. Also, Hunt Brothers Pizza has to be at the top of the worst list. Oh well, to each his own

Did you ever think that maybe $$$ comes into play with the college kids for whom you refer. They do need beer money.

That sucks. Landlord raising rent?

I knew it was only a matter of time when they did away with their Monday pickup special. I am sad.

If you don't quote who you are replying to you are talking to with "Did you ever think" and "for whom you refer" it's hard to follow the conversation.

Otherwise you are just creating a hypothetical.

I hate seeing any longtime establishment close their doors. It’s a tough market for restaurants. Cafe Vermilionville shut their doors this week too. Things are just getting too expensive and people are not going out like they used to. It’s not cheap feeding an average family.

I think it's more to do with Domino's being within walking distance of the residence halls.

My wife and I went and ate at BJ's a couple of Saturdays ago. Hadn't been there is a while. It was kind of run down inside. Got there about 6:15 pm. Placed our order and got a draft beer. Girl taking my order said if I wanted any more beers, I had better order them now as her shift was over at 6:30 and she was the only one there with a bar card. Food was good but it took a little while for the pizza to come out. My wife told me that they close their door this coming Thursday at 3:30 pm. That's a weird final closing time to me.

Sounds like its a staffing problem. In addition to rising prices, many businesses cannot find good help.
