It's Sunday! It's a Gay Day! With Clay! Let's go on an adventure, CP. Our destination is PIZZA.

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.

http://i.imgur.com/JlQVAzL.jpg

You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

http://i.imgur.com/mVsbYtO.jpg

Before we find pizza though, let's look at some cars. This appears to be a fine establishment.

http://i.imgur.com/NWe8Ejr.jpg

Yeah, maybe not. All that glitters is not gold. BARF.

http://i.imgur.com/NfeNlw8.jpg

This car is cool though. Too bad it's not for sale. Should I get a tattoo? No.

http://i.imgur.com/U5VJ9fn.jpg

Let's head on up the road. Did you know Drew Bledsoe opened a rental service here in KC? Coca-Cola's advertising is making me thirsty as I trudge wearily around town.

http://i.imgur.com/tGHEsC1.jpg

SHIT! I SCUFFED MY SNOWY WHITE TOE! Crud.

http://i.imgur.com/CfjFh7e.jpg

SPEED Auto sales beckons. Look at all those surely never-wrecked luxury automobiles being sold at reasonable prices only $5000 over book value.

http://i.imgur.com/TW5D4Nf.jpg

Oh hey, this one's nice.

http://i.imgur.com/FSNZbP4.jpg

Let's pause and reflect on Ruth Bradfield as we continue our journey. Who was she? Did she ever buy a used automobile near 79th and Wornall? Did she sit here? Did she have AIDs? Can AIDs survive on park benches for decades? Do I need to get screened? Let's go.

http://i.imgur.com/s2v4fbA.jpg

Hey look a bumblebee. I just sold a car with racing stripes so I'll pass.

http://i.imgur.com/l4Db5Oy.jpg

DAMN if only I had a car.

http://i.imgur.com/JkUfCU6.jpg

Let's cross the street. It's rapey over here.

http://i.imgur.com/a0pmNFx.jpg

Let's stop at the dollar store. I'm thirsty, and I'm sure the pizza place will rape me on drink prices. There's a very fine Indian restaurant, incidentally.

http://i.imgur.com/YgXOccP.jpg

Ahhh. Goes perfect with pizza.

http://i.imgur.com/lioYgWB.jpg

The pizza's just up ahead! Let's sit here and rest amidst the water fountains. This is truly a gay day, friends. People at the intersection are envious of my urban trek.

http://i.imgur.com/EmT7ubD.jpg

PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! I'm frightened by the inclusion of communist references in the name, however. Let's tread carefully.

http://i.imgur.com/W4l2bhl.jpg

Ahh, air conditioning. This is a very well-crafted pizza place. I enjoy the simple, yet elegant decor. I am also their only customer at the moment.

Apparently this is where my pizza is coming from. The people working are very nice and let me take pictures.

http://i.imgur.com/iFTztU3.jpg

They ask me if "this is for a blog." I say yes. Technically I have the longest-running blog about Kansas City on the internet. I am unimpressed with the mediocre amount of cheese being placed on my pizza.

http://i.imgur.com/uaWGyCs.jpg

The employees give me a free cup of ice for my soda! I love getting free stuff. Very nice of them. They ring me up (about 10 bucks), and I wait while the pizza cooks. Look at that happy couple. Are they going to have sex later?

http://i.imgur.com/LMmlaR4.jpg

While we're sitting here, let's take some creeper pics of the people at Remedy.

http://i.imgur.com/gvFfAuh.jpg

Enhance. Wood. I like her pony tail. I bet she's not paying for her lunch today. HAHA. Ha.

http://i.imgur.com/UfMHzez.jpg

Girl you need to work them arms. Also stop eating. Sports bra? Just go to the gym. Or are you "rewarding yourself?" Disgusting.

http://i.imgur.com/4KB40Vo.jpg

THE PIZZA IS HERE! IT'S DONE!

http://i.imgur.com/WsgGqeU.jpg

Let's go in for my closeup. Pepperoni and Prosciutto.

http://i.imgur.com/bCBZE6B.jpg

It's a bit flimsy. Hmm. Let's stuff it in our faces and eat it. It's decent.

http://i.imgur.com/wXM6mg9.jpg

Boba, would you care for a slice?

http://i.imgur.com/9NbJIh1.jpg

HEY! This douchebag is blocking my creeper view of Remedy.

http://i.imgur.com/B8DJH79.jpg

What kind of person is this? This is incredibly tacky intra-vehicular decor. He probably owns several pairs of camo pants and likes Duck Dynasty. What a rube.

http://i.imgur.com/UHAETaL.jpg

And we're done here. Verdit: Pizza Manifesto is edible, but $10 for that pizza was a ripoff. Needed more cheese, I couldn't even really taste the meat. I'd rather go to Waldo pizza 2 blocks away. Thanks, but no thanks. YOU RUINED THIS GAY DAY. IT'S NO LONGER GAY. IT'S CRAY. CRAY DAY WITH CLAY. DAMMIT.

http://i.imgur.com/Z6FRsZn.jpg

SELFIE. I'M GRUMPY BECAUSE I ATE MEDIOCRE PIZZA AT PREMIUM PIZZA PRICES. I HAVE A BAND-AID ON MY FINGER BECAUSE I'M HURT BY THIS COURSE OF EVENTS. Actually no, I slammed my finger between a glass and the fridge yesterday, but that's an adventure for another time.

http://i.imgur.com/NuOjWkk.jpg

Let's get the hell out of here.

http://i.imgur.com/Jxpsku1.jpg

Oh look, a Christmas fire hydrant. It's getting to be that time of year.

http://i.imgur.com/KI343Z5.jpg

Back on my street. We walked 2 miles roundtrip, looked at some shit-tacular cars and ate some shit-tacular pizza. At least we got some exercise, because that was a poor way to spend 1,000 calories.

http://i.imgur.com/jdNCGvl.jpg

My spouse welcomes me home. Today was not a logical course of action.

They're a family business, everyone who works there is family and has worked there for yrs....it's always been cash only. They're just old fashioned people that don't like very much change I guess.

That place hasn't changed since I used to go there as a kid for little league baseball pizza parties back in the early 90's.

But I do agree it's a bit of an inconvenience when you have to walk over across the street to the gas station ATM to get cash (the resturaunt doesn't have an ATM).

I always figure they've got to be under reporting income to the IRS, or not reporting at all. Ah well.

There's a nice little Mexican shop outside of the army base down here that has the most authentic Mexican food I've had from a public business. Wonderful food. Cash only place, though. I wouldn't care one way or the other, except for the fact that I never carry cash and always forget right up until I'm walking through the door.

Last month I was in Houston and was planning on eating at a well known hamburger joint downtown. Supposedly one of the best burgers in the city. Hubcap grill was the name of the place. We pull up walk in and see the cash only sign at the counter. Damn. Luckily, they had an ATM next to the restrooms. Walk over to the ATM....out of order. I just left. Pissed off. I realize they're doing great business, so they couldn't care less, but they lost out on a customer because they don't accept cards.

Yea...This is true. Some random Indian dude explained the process to me during our transaction. Every time they swipe a card, they are charged a certain fee from the company they use to process debit/credit transactions. That fee is charged whether or not the transaction is completed. Therefore, you walk in there, swipe your card for five dollars worth of soda and chips, and you're card gets declined because you're a shitbag with no money, that store owner still gets charged for swiping that card.

Similarly, if you only buy a fifty cent bag of crackers that they're making a 20 cent profit off of, and the debit/credit transaction fee is 25 cents, they're losing five cents by selling you that bag of crackers via debit/credit.

And they charge you interchange fees, and more for debit, and processing fees, and then they charge you for emailing you a statement, then they automatically renew your contract yearly. Use the service after its up and they have you on the hook for another year. And they charge you a fee for collecting the other fees...

You see....that's freaking crazy. I could understand why someone would want to avoid that kind of loss.

Straight loss. And they just made it where you can add 3percent on a card to cover it but customers dont like it.


I usually only do that on a big ticket, I put a motor in last week and told the guy he would have to pay the fee or figure out another payment method.

7 grand job and would have cost me a couple hundred give or take...fuck that

Pass on the cost to the consumer....that's the way of the big business companies!

Good on you for not wanting to do it normally.

Yea...This is true. Some random Indian dude explained the process to me during our transaction. Every time they swipe a card, they are charged a certain fee from the company they use to process debit/credit transactions. That fee is charged whether or not the transaction is completed. Therefore, you walk in there, swipe your card for five dollars worth of soda and chips, and you're card gets declined because you're a shitbag with no money, that store owner still gets charged for swiping that card.

Similarly, if you only buy a fifty cent bag of crackers that they're making a 20 cent profit off of, and the debit/credit transaction fee is 25 cents, they're losing five cents by selling you that bag of crackers via debit/credit.



And they charge you interchange fees, and more for debit, and processing fees, and then they charge you for emailing you a statement, then they automatically renew your contract yearly. Use the service after its up and they have you on the hook for another year. And they charge you a fee for collecting the other fees...


Exactly.

They make it really hard for small businesses to survive.

Worst transaction ever was when one of the guys accidentally put in 5000 instead of 500 then refunded it immediately. That minute. The money never changed hands since it batches at midnight. Since he did a refund rather than a void I had to pay the fees on 5 grand AND on 500.


I lost my shit over that one, not at the employee he didn't know hell I would have never guessed, but at the company.they wouldn't budge either, had been with them for 5 years. THEN I tried to cancel services since I had originally signed a 5year contract, it had been up the mont prior. That's when I learned they dont let you go no contract they just automatically renew it for a year. VERY fine print there. Had a new provider in the next week and they got their monthly fees for the next 11months and got booted.


They actually called me then and offered a good deal and I told them that they should have offered that first off and they could gonfuck themselves, sent them a picture of my newborn playing with their equipment

You know, I actually have a friend on Facebook that posted something from his bank account. Apparently, his bank charged him a fee for using his card too many times in a month period LMAO

I'm not sure if it's true or if I saw it correctly but I had a chuckle at that.

Then the banks charge you if you don't have enough money in your account (like at least $250 or something). Or if you overdraw from your account.

They charge you money for not having money.

They charge me on my business account after so many transactions, which every check written or TAKEN and deposited is a transaction. It's free up to like 250 transactions so they charge me every month because I go over that. To get up to 500 free I would have to keep 30 grand in the account at all times. I have better things to do with my money than let it sit in that account.
