Jabba launches new business venture...

Ha ha, that is funny. Wish we could somehow convince them to change the spelling to add an extra "t" to the name as well. Surely this would endear nerds all over the world to them forever. With a move like that, they would gain a very powerful lifelong ally in nerdkind. It would also gain them a lot of raised eyebrows and confusion as well...

Hey, I work there.  Is it sad that I can tell that's a large box by the thickness of the fold at the front?

And it's not that the name is changing, at least not at the one I work at - the medium and large boxes all say that, though, for some reason ...

Is it sad that I've been working there for at most two months, and I've already been offered a manager position?

You can't take her highness there, that franchise is controlled by the Hutts!

 

And chainsaw, the fact that they would consider giving you a promotion, that is sad.

:p

Yeah, the linked article explained that only some locations are taking on the name "The Hut" in order to make it more of a hip hang out place, rather than merely a Pizza place. Funny thing is... it is still just a pizza place.

Looks like all the boxes have taken the change though, last pizza I got there also had that same box. I just figured it was a marketing thing, rather than a marketing thing in the form of a partial name change for some locations.

You don't get it, boy.  This isn't a mudhole.  It's an operating table, and I'm the surgeon.

Cream rises to the top, especially when surrounded by less than stellar employees. I was an assistant manager at Blockbuster two months into my career, and ran my own store within a year... and I'm no rocket scientist.

Well, in the original novelization Jabba was origibally called "Jabba the hut" with one t. But it was changed in later editions.
