Is the cup half-empty or half-full?
[Image-1] I just ordered the pizza and garlic fingers from your pizza shop and it cost me 30 bucks! I opened the garlic fingers and only half of them had cheese on them—the outer perimeter was dry as fuck. There were like eight fingers left at the end that didn’t even have a shred of cheese […]
