Dear Pizza Peon,

Thank you for illustrating the exceptionally low quality of employee staffing standards at Gumby’s.  Your “just following company policy” comment sounds suspiciously to me like Eichman’s excuse about Auschwitz.  Don’t worry, I don’t expect you to understand what that means.

Still, if you think their pitiful offering of cheese is acceptable, then I can only suggest you go to some non-franchised/non-chain pizzerias and see what you are missing.  Yes, I am keenly aware that “every other food place in America screws people” (if you’d bothered to surf my site, you’d have seen that.)   I will take your comment as a tacit admission of guilt on your company’s part, that your employer is among those screwing over America.  Your logic of ‘since everyone else is screwing you over, what does it matter that we are too?’ is vintage Gumby’s.  Stick with the company, my friend; with thinking like that, you're definitely management material.   

But back to the point: Gumby’s is especially low on the corporate totem pole in that I consistently have had bad experiences with them.  Obviously I’m not the only one with a gripe against Gumby’s, though, or I wouldn't get as many ‘high-five/right on!’ emails from other unsatisfied customers as I do.  It’s just a poorly run chain, though since you’re working there (and thus are part of the problem) I wouldn’t expect you to realize that until you have some hindsight and maturity under your belt. 

Anyway, I’ll attempt to end this on a positive note (c#, symbolizing sharp cheddar) and thank you for the obvious suggestion I make my own pies.  I’ve been doing that for a while, and agree that you get a better pie that way.

Then again, I could throw a tomato at some cardboard and sprinkle some sawdust on it to get a better pizza than Gumby’s could ever produce...
