    I don’t know what’s sadder: Dominoe’s offering to pay pizza over 6 weeks; people being so poor that they have to pay a pizza over 6 weeks; or people being so dumb that they still buy pizza that they have to pay over 6 weeks when they have no money.

      As for the latter, sometimes you have no other options, so you do things that you know are financially bad decisions because otherwise you starve. When I was younger I’d knowingly write bad checks at the grocery store because I needed food and couldn’t get it any other way. I’d have a paycheck coming in a few days, and knew I’d have to pay the fee, but it was that or starve. That’s not an option these days, since they verify checks immediately now.

        Even if this story is 100% true I honestly have zero problem with it. The money you make from working should be for fun stuff like really fancy shoes, not mandatory labor for survival.
