Pizza Place

The employees of a franchise location of Mama Mao’s Szechuan Pizza are issued an ultimatum by their district supervisor Robert Bile. They must increase their store’s daily sales average to $1000 over the course of the next three days or they will all face termination and the store will be converted to a tomato holding annex. To keep the store open and their family together, the crew members brainstorm and come up with a plan to sell a thousand-dollar pizza to Rupert Murdoch, who is in town staying at the Unconscionably Wealthy Inn and Estates. When the delivery driver mistakenly delivers the pizza to Unconscious Dead People Estates and Crematorium, Murdoch cancels the order, putting the crew back to square one. As they resign themselves to their fate and peruse the classified ads, they have an epiphany and formulate a plan B to heavily market to a cannabis convention in town. Although they’re successful, it’s uncertain whether it will be enough to meet the $1000/day average needed to keep their jobs. When Robert returns after 3 days, he gives them the bad news that they fell short and will be terminated, although on the bright side, the store is a great location for the new tomato holding annex as it’s close to the Interstate with lots of sunlight. Bumbling delivery driver Jason then rips open a summons just served to Robert by a process server, revealing Robert is facing charges for wombat prostitution. When store manager Palmer threatens to inform Mama Mao’s internal affairs, Robert recants his take on the sales numbers and lets them keep their jobs, also offering them raises, as he says, “God help me, they were so cuddly.”
