A North Carolina man is facing multiple felony charges after he broke into a Little Caesars after closing time and started making and selling pizzas, according to police. It happened Sunday, the day after a massive snow storm hit the state, and the suspect kept all the money for himself, the Kinston Police Department said in a Feb. 2 news release.

An arrest was made after the suspect tried to break into the shop a second time, police said.

Hasn't this happened at a little Caesars before? I swear it was a Florida man thing a few years back.

Sigh, and he could have gotten away with it, but he got greedy. A lesson for us all. On an unrelated matter, does anyone know where the nearest Little Ceasars is located? Just curious, really.

Two reactions:

Who says no one wants to work anymore?

And:

the suspect kept all the money for himself

Labor is entitled to all it creates!

"Alright this is my plan. We get jobs as tellers. Work there for 10 to 15 years. Retire, and take those bastards for all they are worth!"

"...Man, that's called getting a job!"

Seized the means of production

There was some guy I want to say in Wisconsin that worked at a zoo. Collecting parking fees for like 30 years and kept all the money. And got away with it. Nobody knew who hired him evidently, nobody did.

I was way off. Seems to be an urban legend from Bristol. U. K.

So... the how good was the pizza?

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 19 points 5 hours ago

Little Caesar’s is extremely precise, like down to the fraction of a penny, with everything they do, hence how they keep costs low. It was for sure different. Better? I guess it depends on how you like the ratio of their ingredients.

That is quite the odd, shocking story. Wow.

I feel like this comment is so generic it's not even AI. Just a bot randomly posting pretyped comments.
