I haven’t heard that particular story. I did hear one years ago about a new manager at a Godfather’s pizza place in Norman, Oklahoma. I know about this one because a close friend of mine became the next manager after this guy got fired. So, the manager who got fired, the first thing he did when he came onboard was to take an inventory of all the ingredients that were used, and how much they cost per pizza they were put on. Turns out that cheese was the most expensive ingredient. So, the guy cut back the amount of cheese they put on pizzas. Initially, there weren’t many complaints. So he cut some more. And more. And then there came a whole tidal wave of complaints. And massive losses of income and negative profits. So, he restored the amount of cheese they put on pizzas, but started cutting the meats and proteins. And wound up with the same result. A tidal wave of complaints. And massive losses of profits. That store ended up losing so many sales that their profit was negative over a full quarter, and that manager was fired. My friend, who was already working there and had been working there longer than anyone else and was very well respected by everyone, was promoted to be the new manager. Turns out that he was only sixteen at the time, and that it wasn’t legal for him to be the manager of an establishment that sold alcoholic beverages for in-store consumption. Of course, this place was literally just across the street from the University of Oklahoma, so there’s no way that they could avoid selling alcoholic beverages to college students who were old enough. And they got caught. As I recall the story, that was kind of the last straw for that store, and since that franchise had been on shaky ground for a while, they actually went bankrupt and the store shut down.
