So what I'm hearing is that one should break in with a balaclava and paint to blackout the cameras. Sell the pizza once, and choose a different pizza shop next time.

Chaotic good
This is the future Communists want.
If seizing the means of production gets me extra pepperoni without an upcharge, I fail to see the downside
is this another one of those radical antifa values 🐢
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!
Aren't the people making and delivering the ingredients entitled to something?
True, but so is payroll and he did his own. Along with staff scheduling and floor management. Did he clean up and shit down properly? Idk I'm not reading the article. It probably all evens out.
It's immature of me, but I have to admit I'm amused by that typo.
That man does not like wasted capital.
Seized the means of production
If I were president, this would be allowed. You get to keep all profits until the store manager cares as much as you and gets their ass there to tell you to stop.
Any store. Any business. It'd revitalize this nation overnight.
This would turn Japan into an economic superpower overnight. How tf do you run a bar that's only open 5 hours a week?
Is that a thing? Is it just a property owner keeping a business running the bare minimum to hold into their licenses until they find a buyer or something?
Commercial rent is hilariously cheap in Japan. So a lot of people will start a business as a hobby, and the business breaks even in those few hours its open.
Then there's people who just run a kitchen/shop right out of their home.
The bar in question is in a 3 story building, with the botton 2 floors for customers, so I don't think the guy even lives there.
Theres a lot of foreigners who do something similar just for visa purposes; you run a "business" selling a parking spot or something to a neighbors or bento or w/e, and have an "office" that's a desk in a shed, and congrats on the business visa.
Interesting! I wish it was that easy to start a business in the States. Sucks seeing so many empty store fronts in even high traffic areas, at least in my city. Licensing, rent, and zoning snuff out many businesses before they start.
Yup. My favorite lunch spot, where you could get 2 fish tacos, a good drink, and the best view in the area for 6 bucks closed, and literally has been vacant for a decade because they won't lower rent.
That last part is getting outlawed very soon, though enforcement is a different story
Minimum revenue?
Insane that japan of all places is cracking down on immigrants coming and starting businesses, many of which bring in foreign currency.
They only want foreign workers that work for established Japanese businesses, farms, etc. Or are so wealthy that they can start their own business with large initial investments.
Japanese politics are so cooked.
The country is incredibly resistant to change, which is perfectly on brand considering the Edo Period.
Very carefully.
"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!"

Walk right out the front door
Little Brutus.
Et two large pepperoni with pineapple
Where was the crime?
Baking a pizza?!?? A succulent Italian pizza??!??
He kept all the money for himself. Wouldn't have been a problem had he rendered unto Caesar what is Caesar's.
I’m still laughing at this comment
Bro stole a job lmao

I cannot keep up with this "Pizzagate" scandal, it keeps going off in weird directions and I feel like I missed a story piece.
So... the how good was the pizza?
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.
Their pizza isn’t bad, for a large pizza that you can walk in the door and walk out with without calling ahead, and which costs less than ten dollars American in the year of Our Lord J-Town two thousand twenty and six.
It’s actually pretty remarkable given those conditions.
If you don't mind spending a little extra, Costco has the best $10 pizza. They only offer pepperoni or cheese in my neck of the woods, but it is large and delicious.

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.
I live in Bristol, it may very well not be an urban legend. This happened at Bristol zoo, in the carpark there. Thing was, the zoo staff assumed he worked for the council and the council workers assumed he worked for the zoo. He was always very polite, turned up on time every day, looked the part. There are lots of people who say they remember him. This went on for many years, until one day he just stopped. Retired, I guess.
"Nobody wants to work"
