Domino’s Pizza and Epic Theories of Pizza Pricing Structure

prezidentv8 — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 06:25:14 +0000

UPDATE: WHOA. Apparently pricing differs depending on location and method of placing the order. Trippy.

Not very long ago, maybe twenty minutes, during the course of writing a tax research final and chatting with my buddy at the Duke East Campus Coffee House (I should review this place, it’s pretty sweet), we decided to order a pizza. Being Durham at about midnight on a Wednesday, the city naturally did not have too many options for pizza – pretty much Domino’s or nothing around where we’re at. Anyway, I’m not feeling very hungry, but some pizza sounds good, and my buddy apparently had a serious pizza hankering going, and the order was going to happen. I figured splitting a pizza would be fine even though Domino’s has a deal where you get two (2-topping) medium pizzas for $5.99 each. I assumed, perhaps naively, that a single medium, two topping pizza would cost between $6.00 and $11.99. I was wrong. The pricing is as follows:

Now, one might think that this sort of pricing arrangement might have something to do with, perhaps, getting customers to…well, uh…nope, not making sense. A 2-topping large is still like $14.00, so I’m still not seeing the incentives here. I’m pretty sure two mediums nets you more pizza than one large anyway (although I think there’s also a large pizza special much like the medium pizza special).

Anyway, I’m sure there’s a very simple, logical reason for this, but that’s no fun. So my friend and I decided to attempt to come up with some theories to explain why pizza would be priced in such a way. They are described below.

Domino’s Pizza’s Warehouses Have Way Too Many Tomatoes.

Maybe, somehow and some way, Domino’s really needs to clear out some extra warehouse space. Like, maybe there are just waaaaay too many tomatoes in there right now, and the price of pepperoni just took a nosedive and dangit, the company needs to stock up! So they’re moving some pizzas!

The pizzas are being stocked with nicotine. And they’re trying to make addicts out of us all! I need a slice of cheese pizza right now. Right now. Now.

Per unit pizza tax credit that makes it more profitable to sell two pizzas than one, given the pricing scheme above.

Let me ask you this: Given what you know about the tax code and Congress, would you seriously doubt that this is a legitimate possibility? Exactly.

Also, here is an amusing piece of a Superman comic strip:

Quitting Facebook

prezidentv8 — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 04:54:52 +0000

Yup.

I have done it. A great achievement indeed. Probably one of my best achievements since I started law school. I beat Facebook. I have broken the addiction. Huzzah!

Some may question the severity of this addiction. To counter any such arguments, I put forth this fact: The first thing I wanted to do, upon quitting Facebook, was to post on Facebook about quitting Facebook. An odd feeling, to say the least.

Why did I do it? Well, let me put forth just a few reasons.

Zuckerberg is a pretty creepy looking dude.
The privacy-setting shifting, addition of new auto-sharing features, and Zuckerberg’s own beliefs on privacy (see http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34825225/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/).
A lack of any real sort of security (though I will acknowledge that internet privacy is something of an oxymoron) (see http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/sns-cnn-zuckerberg-facebook-page-hacked,0,4370718.story).
Way too many people on there. This creates some social dangers including crisscrossing social circles that you do not want to crisscross, occasional friend requests from people you’re on good terms with but don’t want to know details of your life, and the possibility of being associated with ideas, people, and events that you do not want to be associated with.
Way too much time spent on there when bored, which could have been spent blogging.
There are better chat programs (GMail Chat) and more useful social networking services (LinkedIn).

What have I done with my time since I quit Facebook? What could you be doing with your time if you quit Facebook? Here are some answers to these questions:

Bowling a 163.
Trying fried chicken and waffles (with a shout out to a great Durham blog, Carpe Durham).
Watching football with Dean Levi
Interviewing for BIGAIRPLANELAW
Playing QWOP
Also, this. Although they haven’t given me a gavel yet.
Write a review of my last two semesters. Coming soon.

And now you can see what quitting Facebook can do for you! And suddenly I want to post a link to this article on Facebook. Man, tough habit to break.

Also, side note – shout out to Doug for finishing his first semester of law school. Only five to go buddy.

V and Holt go to Lunch: Elmo’s Diner

prezidentv8 — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 21:05:01 +0000

Elmo’s is something of a Ninth Street icon in Durham, and – to me – fits the personality of Durham itself quite well. To explain what I mean, I’d point out that during my meal, I looked at my right to a (seemingly quite old) brick wall, then looked to my left at a number of modernistic-looking pastel-ish colors blanketing the other interior walls. There was an old fashioned diner counter, jacket hooks on every (quite classic-looking) booth, and a markerboard with a number of specials and more bright colors than I cared to count. The contrasts, to me, epitomize Durham – or at least the Durham restaurant industry.

Of course, the important part that I’ve left out is the food.

While I have been to Elmo’s a number of times in the past, I have only been there for (a darn good) breakfast. I felt compelled to write about Elmo’s today because today was the day I tried their lunch.

As much as the walls and decor of the restaurant were studies in contrast, my meal was as well. It was the classic American meal – as timeless and blue-collar as an old brick warehouse – yet, modern, sophisticated, and just really darn tasty.

Beginning with the French fries, I noticed right away that I had not had anything like them in quite some time. Why? Well, because I haven’t seen crinkle cut fries in just about forever. And they were cooked really well. Crispy on the outside, soft and potatoey on the inside.

The main dish was in fact, as I have mentioned, an American classic – a burger. But it was a variation on a burger I had never seen. This burger was a shrimp burger. Not a shrimp sandwich, mind you. Out of what I believe was breading, seasoning, and shrimp, and some frying, Elmo’s has actually created a shrimp patty. This was on a bun, and paired with the regular fixings (lettuce, tomato, onion) plus “dill sauce” and a cabbage coleslaw.

I cannot say enough about how delicious, fresh, and revolutionary this concept was to me. And I think it cost me about $8, including the tax. While I would have given Elmo’s a high grade for their breakfast alone, the shrimp burger really has elevated the diner to another level. Combined with my zen moment of seeing Durham through the lens of a shrimp burger, Elmo’s gets a final grade of:

267 on the bowling scale.

A Lesson in Etiquette… at the Gym

prezidentv8 — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 22:49:14 +0000

The topic of gym etiquette is one that has been close to my heart for some time. Although I am no longer close to the gym rat that I once was, I still go regularly and like to think that I at least have the basics of both training and manners well in hand. With that being said, I’d like to offer some tips to assist people who are unfamiliar with proper gym etiquette. These tips can be applied at most non-meathead-dense gyms, and even some of the meathead gyms. However, I should state that, as with any sort of advice pertaining to manners or common courtesy, these tips should be applied with discretion, based on the personality and customs of the gym you attend, consideration of others, and common sense. Generally, however, these concepts will be applicable – for example, playing catch with 2.5 pound weights = never a good idea.

GYM ETIQUETTE TIPS

Do not drop weights. I think this one is pretty basic. Now, I think that most people who lift can understand that there will frequently be some kind of noise when a weight is placed down. Nobody expects you to gently place your dumbbell onto the ground as if you’re trying not to disturb someone ten feet away from you attempting a winning putt at the Masters. There will be noise in a weight room and we can accept this. And on occasion, there is cause for even more extra noise after that last rep, if and only if the lifter does not have the requisite strength remaining to prevent such clang-age. BUT – this is important – it is quite impolite to let your weight(s) clang onto the ground, machine, rack, or whatever after every freaking set, or dare I say it, every rep. This sort of thing can damage the floors at your gym. And when you let your weights slam down, the message you send is “I AM APE WHO WANT ATTENTION! ME NEED LET PEOPLE KNOW, ME STRONG!!! LOOK AT ME!!!” Don’t be that guy.
Dress properly for the occasion. Ladies and gentlemen, this includes both of you.

Some basics that apply to both sexes: Common sense should be the key to your choice of attire in the gymnasium. Consider, for a moment, what sort of clothing you imagine a random person wearing to the gym. This should be a t-shirt of suitable size, athletic shorts of suitable length, and either running or cross training shoes. There are some variations of the theme, of course. Some people prefer different colors or patterns, for example. There are even variations on the specific clothing items that are acceptable. Some folks, for instance, prefer to work out without any sleeves. Others prefer track pants instead of shorts. These are each acceptable substitutes. This may seem like an obvious point to be making, yet there are some gym attendees who do not quite understand where the limits on gym attire lie. Some quick guidelines for sending the proper visual message to your peers in the gym: Pajama pants are never acceptable ever, no type of sandal shall be worn in the gym, jeans are unacceptable attire (even if in “jorts” form), no make up shall be worn, and jewelry shall be judged on a case by case basis.

For the gentlemen: Although sleeveless shirts are acceptable, your nipples should never be exposed. This means that you must not cut your sleeves at any point below the armpit, or risk looking like a tool bag. And although this final point might also apply to women, men are the more frequent perpetrators and I will note a guideline on caps and hats, specifically pertaining to guys: If you wear a baseball cap, it had better be old and grubby or have the insignia of a team you actually play for. Nice new hats with plaid patterns and sparkles that read “G-Unit” have no place in the gym.

For the ladies: If your attire communicates to others that you show up to the gym for male attention, rather than a workout, you will not be taken seriously. In combination with going slowly on the elliptical while watching VH1 reality television, you could potentially lose all credibility as a bright, capable individual. Similarly, if your appearance sends the message that you’re not there to actually exercise, you will be judged in a manner similar to the individuals who show up wearing sandals. Be forewarned.
Do not space out on an elliptical at 20 RPMs and 0 resistance. Especially when all of the cardio machines are occupied. Just don’t. This is impolite in a crowded gym because it sends the message that, even though you aren’t getting very much of a workout, you aren’t considerate enough to make room for someone who will. And yes, it’s much worse if you’re watching TV or talking on your cellular phone at the same time.
Do not cruise the locker rooms naked for a period of time longer than two minutes. Just don’t. No one wants to see that. Exception: In the shower area, nudity is acceptable.
Do not scream in the gym. Yes, we know it is difficult to finish a rep sometimes. And yes, you just might get a boost to finish that last rep from your primal roaring. That does not make it okay. It is, for lack of more precise terminology, annoying as s**t. Furthermore, since it is generally not the ladies that are partaking in this sort of behavior, I also would like to point out to the gentlemen that it is exactly this type of behavior that alienates women from the free weights area of the gym. And while some may like their free weights area to be a center of testosterone, most gyms are co-ed, and thus consideration for others – male and female – should be applied to one’s manners. Essentially, good manners dictate that you’re going to want to (a) generally not behave like an ape, in as well as out of the gym, and (b) show consideration for others in the gym my doing your best to allow everyone to work out comfortably, without annoying sounds. And screaming qualifies as an annoying sound. So don’t do it. That’s pretty much the gist of it.
Do not bother people while they are in the midst of a set. Gentle readers, it is quite impolite to bother or interrupt others who are politely going about their own business. For example, if one is in the middle of a set of dead lifts, it would be impolite to place your arm on their shoulder and say something like “Hey bro, wanna spot me?” Generally, most people placed in that situation would probably think something along the lines of “No, moron, I don’t want to spot you – I want to finish my dead lifts.” A more polite, considerate approach would be to wait quietly in the background until the person finishing their set finishes their set, and then to use a sentence more along the lines of “Excuse me, would you mind spotting for me?” Corollary Personal Request (by me): Please do not use the word “bro.”
Wipe the equipment down. Perhaps the only thing more annoying than falling weights or primal scream in a gym setting, is the feeling one gets when they get under a barbell, onto one of the cardio machines, or onto a bench only to discover that they will have the inglorious choice of wiping up someone else’s sweat mess or swimming in the other person’s sweat for the remainder of the particular exercise. So, gentle readers, even if you are in the middle of a circuit (your heart rate is not going to drop that fast, seriously – you aren’t that fit), please take the time to wipe down equipment after you use it. And here is a pro tip for good measure: if you carry a gym towel around, you can cut down on the time spent searching for one!
Re-rack your weights. I think that the concept of manners and the idea of putting things back when one is finished using them have probably been linked in the minds of most folks since they were two years old and their mothers yelled at them to “put that s**t back when you’re done with it.” Gentle readers, things do not change once you reach adulthood. We still must put things back in their proper places when we are done, rather than leaving them all over the floor. Not only is leaving weights on the floor impolite, but it also results in disorganization and dangerous conditions within the weight room. To further explain, good manners include putting weight plates back onto their proper rack, and moreover, the weights should be placed in sensible places on the rack. For example, on a weight tree, different types of plates should never be intermingled on the same bar. Thus, a five pound weight should never be placed on the same bar as a ten pound weight. It is incredibly aggravating to need a certain weight, and to discover that to get to one, three forty-five pound plates must be moved out of the way and then placed back where they were. A corrolary to this rule applies the rule to things in the gym that are not weights – a polite gymgoer will put everything he uses in the gym back in its proper place, including but not limited to: grips, pads, body bars, strength bands, swiss balls, medicine balls, benches, boxes, boxing gloves, and Zumba skirts.
Do not abuse the lat pulldown machine. You’re going to hurt yourself. Ask a trainer or a trusted friend how to do it properly. Your back will thank you later. Corollary: This rule can be applied to any machine you don’t know how to use.
Mind the personal space of others. If you see a person who happens to be in your path, in the middle of a set of, say, upright rows, do not try to squeeze between the person and an adjacent piece of equipment to get by. It is impolite to invade the personal space of others, more so in the middle of an exercise where it is quite possible that a bump followed by an injury will occur. Furthermore, many people in the gym have overinflated or underinflated egos. A bump has an outside chance of hurting feelings or causing a fight. A more prudent choice of action would be to simply avoid the person’s personal space by choosing another route, or, if you absolutely must squeeze by for some reason, using the simple phrase “excuse me.” Do not add the word “bro” to the end of that phrase, as well, because doing so will negate the good manners you have demonstrated with the use of “excuse me,” and you will simply be viewed as obnoxious. Separately, the polite gymgoer should not perform their exercises too close to other patrons, or interfere with (or, as some have done, take away) the weights or equipment that are being used by others.
Excessive cologne is frowned upon. Use your best judgment. Using deodorant is considered polite and considerate of your fellow gymgoers. However, do not abuse cologne prior to visiting the gym, as this would be considered bad manners. While there are many other, more offensive smells (e.g. farts, dirty clothes, sweaty towels, etc.) that can easily crop up in a gym, none are as easily preventable as the excessive cologne smell. By applying excessive cologne prior to a workout, you are sending the message that you do not care about others’ olfactory senses, and this, naturally, is considered impolite.
Unsolicited advice should be given only after the most careful deliberation and reflection. Respect people’s egos and levels of knowledge. Especially if you are a n00b. However, if you find yourself in a situation where it would be polite to give advice, or if your advice is a matter of safety or actually solicited, please do not hesitate to give it out freely. Most people who are regularly in the gym would welcome more information, as long as it is not being given without proper tact.
Do not take up multiple machines in a crowded gym. You physically cannot be on more than one machine at a time. For this reason, there is no rational basis for laying claim to two free weight areas, three pairs of dumbbells, and four weight machines at once, all while not allowing others to use any of the equipment. Which brings me back to another lesson that our mothers probably told us all in our youth: “Share with your friends, you spoiled brat.” If there is, somehow, a magical need for occupying all of this equipment, you need to either go to the gym during a slow part of the day when no one else will want to use the equipment you need or buy your own home gym.
Competing with others in the gym is silly. Yes, your max-with-bad-technique easily is more than what the other guy who is warming up is lifting, and yes, you can run faster on the treadmill than the slightly overweight girl trying to lose weight. Nobody cares.
Work hard. This is important. You’ll get better results and earn the respect of your peers. Laziness is unproductive and lazy people waste precious gym space.

Anyway, I’m sure there are more things out there that I have not yet addressed. Let me know by using the comments section if you would like something addressed.

V and Holt go to Lunch: Caffe Roma

prezidentv8 — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 23:47:15 +0000

Ahh, Caffe Roma. Many a summertime afternoon has been spent at this sunny localish cafe in the good town of Millbrae. Some, of course, might ask why. The answer is that (a) I don’t really have anything better to do a lot of the time, and (b) it’s an awfully nice cafe to spend time at.

One of the first reasons for this is obvious: they have good coffee. While this is pretty much a prerequisite for any rave review of a cafe, alone it is clearly insufficient to garner even so much as a “satisfactory” review. But Roma offers plenty more.

One of my favorite practical things about Caffe Roma, so often missing from other coffee shops, is that they have an adequate number of seats and tables available, even at lunch time! I should add that the lunchtime crowd seems to be a fairly diverse audience, including young people on their lunch break, stay at home mothers, people who are arriving or departing from the airport, and people like me – sitting around, tapping away on their keyboards, perhaps applying for jobs or blogging like I am, or being distracted by Facebook and/or GMail chat, which of course never happens to me.

Beyond this simple pleasure (adequate seating dude!!) is a wonderful atmosphere, made possible by at least two factors. First, the staff is really nice. Pretty straightforward stuff. Secondly, two large panoramic sliding glass doors, taking up a corner of the building open up onto an outdoor seating area on the sidewalk. Not only does this let a solid amount of fresh air and sunlight in, but it even is enough to make the whole restaurant feel like it is outdoors.

Now, on to the food. First, two of my favorite things they serve are their soups and their salads. While the salad is pretty consistently solid, the soups seem to be a bit more varied in quality. But if they happen to be serving a creamy soup, go ahead and order that; you’ll be happy. Some other dishes I enjoy at Roma are the breakfast wrap (reasonably priced), bagel/lox/veggies sandwich looking thing, nutella bagel, quiche, and – one of my favorite pastries – their seven layer bar. Can’t go wrong with any of those.

Regarding the drinks, the nutella latte seems to be Roma’s specialty, but the house coffee, cappuccino, and teas are all good. Coffee refills are also only fifty cents, which is a win.

Final Grade:

V and Holt Go To Lunch: Don Pico’s

prezidentv8 — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 00:41:07 +0000

Next up on our review list is Don Pico’s Original Mexican Bistro of San Bruno, CA. This locally famous establishment is best known for its live music, seafood specials, eclectic artwork lining the walls, and…well….great food.

Allow me to take you through my meal with me. We began our night with what is arguably the signature item on the menu – the “Ceviche Sampler.” This is one of my favorite items here, and if I recall correctly, the dish included three tiers of various fishy treats, including crab, shrimp, and halibut – each in an ever-so-slightly different style. My favorite way to eat this wonderful dish is to scoop some fish on a tortilla chip to add a little crunch (especially with a Negra Modelo on the side). Perfect!

Ceviche Sampler

As for my main dish, I followed the commonly held wisdom that I had so often neglected (in favor of ordering enchiladas, usually, which are also very good at Don Pico’s), and finally ordered one of the fish specials. Specifically, I ordered the Salmon and Asparagus in Tamarind Sauce. This. Was. A. Great. Choice.

First off, the salmon was cooked perfectly through, not too much, not too little. The sauce was also very very good, not too sweet as many restaurants make their sauces, but just enough to complement the texture and flavor of the salmon. I actually felt like I tasted a hint of ginger in the tamarind sauce, and maybe because a little ginger with salmon is a favorite of mine (Mom’s recipe), this dish hit home. Add in some rice, beans, salsa and chips, and the fact that I had been craving Don Pico’s for about three weeks, and this restaurant earns a rating of:

V and Holt Go To Lunch: Rolling Pin Donuts

prezidentv8 — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 00:03:36 +0000

The rediscovery of the summer! After returning from Duke for the season, I remembered that my previous late-night Peninsula hang out, Peter’s Cafe, no longer was open 24 hours a day. Where, then, would I hang out after dark? My focus shifted from Millbrae to San Bruno, home of (at least) three establishments that are open throughout the evening. These are: Starbucks, Araujo’s, and Rolling Pin Donuts. Now, while the 24 hour Starbucks has it’s place in one’s life on the Peninsula (see #13, here), and while Araujo’s can provide a decent breakfast or Mexican meal at any time of day, Rolling Pin has always held a special place in my heart.

The East Wall of Rolling Pin Donuts

Matter of fact, I can still remember days when I was younger when my dad brought me, the bro, and the sis a baker’s dozen from this delightful little shop. And then for a little while, I didn’t really patronize Rolling Pin. I was in college for the last five years, and much more concerned about my physical health then than I am now, and so the combination of a sensible diet and physical distance from the shop (but probably more the physical distance) decreased my consumption of Rolling Pin Donuts. Alas, I have made a distinct effort to increase consumption, and am glad that I am doing my part to stimulate the local donut economy.

Iconic Sign

Partly, this is because something about this place just makes a person happy. I’m not sure if it’s the nostalgia factor alone, if it’s the selection of wonderfully yummy donuts, if it’s the fact that the shop is open 24 hours and simply available, if it’s the 5 flavors of hot coffee, or if it’s simply the fact that I get to talk with the very friendly staff and this friendly police officer:

Friendliest Cop on the Force

But in all seriousness, let me provide you with a brief list of 30 reasons that Rolling Pin Donuts is awesome.

1. 24 hour donut, donut hole, and coffee availability.
2. Maple-frosted donuts
3. Chocolate-frosted donuts
4. Vanilla-frosted donuts
5. Donuts with coconut shavings on top
6. Donuts with chopped peanuts on top
7. Hazelnut coffee
8. French roast coffee
9. Decaf coffee
10. Donut holes
11. Friendly cops from all of the local law enforcement agencies
12. Crumb donuts
13. Powdered donuts
14. Sugar donuts
15. Old-fashioned donuts
16. Muffins
17. Pastries
18. Friendly, attentive staff
19. Glazed donuts
20. Mini-custard-filled donuts
21. Jelly donuts
22. GREAT atmosphere, even at 2 AM
23. High calorie:dollar ratio
24. Chocolate sprinkles
25. Rainbow sprinkles
26. A sweet mural on the outer wall of the shop.
27. Located conveniently near El Camino, 380, and 101
28. Plain donuts, a classic
29. A confusing set up regarding the tip jar and mini-garbage can on the counter, that new customers tend to struggle with
30. BLUEBERRY donuts

On the approach...

Now, only one of these things could possibly be seen as a negative, unless you really hate donuts, coffee, and a good selection of delicious sweets. Add in the friendly folks that work at and patronize this place, and I give my final grade as:

4.1/4.0 on the Duke Law grading curve.

Signs ‘n’ Stuff
