All they made was pizza with five topping options. Pretty hard to frick that up.

That's back when having pizza once every six months or so was the norm, now it's once or twice a week because the majority of Americans don't know how to cook anything beyond a bologna sandwich.

If you took a 21 year old from today and transported them back to 1980, they would be completely lost and wouldn’t be able to figure out anything. The lack of critical thinking skills would make them completely useless in figuring things out.

Meanwhile, the 21 year old from 1980 transported to today, would be able to rely on their critical thinking skills and figure out the technology and be able to get around and survive just fine.

I don’t disagree with the premise that technology is making us dumber, but I’m not sure this example makes a ton of sense. Do y’all think pizza delivery is worse with online ordering?

The only issue I have seen in recent years is that some pizza places haven’t been able to staff enough drivers.

This is sort of silly, they had fairly reasonable delivery radiuses and you would tell the driver where to go while you were on the phone and they wrote it down.

the main issue isn't technology, it's staffing.

there are literally five dominos workers in that cropped pic versus the three workers that staff the entire store nowadays

I'm not even that old but remember in college working at a Christmas tree farm in BR. My boss gave me and another guy a piece of paper with an address way out in the boonies and said take the work truck and deliver a tree to this place, stop and get a map or something.

Took us like 2 hours following a gas station map but I'll tell you the sense of accomplishment was astonishing.
