21. The employees had been told they would have the day off (in the year preceeding the decision)

Nobody is "dissing" the consumer ... low paid workers were told they would have a holiday off, the franchisee changed their mind.

This isn't about how people choose to spend their holiday ... this is about workers (esp low paid workers0 ... that don't appear to be respected enough to have an opportunity to celebrate holidays ... even when told they would be able to.

I am not so fond of Pizza Hut pizza, but as far as I am concerned pizza is the perfect food for any occasion.
