Tummy Tuesday : another mod Pizza because P is for Pizza

On the alphabet challenge, today is P so of course I had to do Pizza.

And some of you know by now that ModPizza is my favorite pizza place.  Here I started off with a Calexico minipizza for $5.99.  Calexico  is mozzarella, gorgonzola, chicken, jalapenos, hot buffalo sauce, red sauce.  Since they let you have as many toppings as you want, I added tomatoes, onions, red peppers, broccoli and corn so it looks a bit like a salad. It was good.

This is one pizza I don’t feel guilty about eating because it’s like a salad landed on it.

I was thinking about today’s post and when Lori and I went to the San Jose’s Hope Thrift Store today, I looked around for a cookbook that started with P and saw this one : Pizzette:Little Pizzas for Appetizers,Snacks,Entrees and More. It was cute.  All these recipes for little 6″ pizza snacks. Hope Thrift store has senior day on Tuesdays — 50% off everything except new items, orange tags (latest color tag), white tags, jewelry and furniture.  Books didn’t fall into any of those categories so I picked out a few and brought them to the counter.  Then they tell me books don’t count for senior day after I waited more than ten minutes in line although I was next up because all but one cashier had walked off while the line gathered. It was closing time so everyone was coming to the front.

Now the books are only $3 at full price for softbacks and paperbacks which these were. When they were new, they ranged in price from $9.95 to $22.95. If I buy it on Amazon used, I’ll have to pay shipping of $3.99 probably.

While 50% off is generous for senior day, I noticed a lot of the nicer ceramics and other things had been retagged orange so they were full price.  This is a practice I’ve noticed over the last few years that when a half off color day is approaching, a thrift store will retag jewelry and other items with a new color to avoid their falling under the half off.  In Tucson, the Tanque Verde Goodwill does this so I don’t bother making a special trip if the color changes.  I just go if I happen to be in the neighborhood. So Hope is not the only thrift store that does this.

I pointed out the books were not listed on the sign as not included on senior day and the cashier admitted that was true. She said she told the management that people were complaining about it but they hadn’t changed the sign. From her expression, this has been a problem for a while and I bet us seniors complain every Tuesday. At least, those of us who like books.  We are beginning to be a dying breed though with so many people converting to virtual books.

So what would you do? A. Buy the books anyways because they are cheap? B. Not buy the books and leave them on the counter because they should correct the sign since people have already complained? C. Or split the difference and buy half the books and leave half?

P is the 16th letter and day in the A to Z challenge.
