A couple of weeks ago in this very spot, we lamented that with all Oklahoma teachers have had to deal with over the past few years—bureaucratically, financially and psychologically—seemingly the only business coming to their emotional rescue during these trying times were the well-meaning pizza-plumpers at Mazzio’s when they heroically and whole-heartedly offered all public school teachers a free Endless Dinner Buffet and drink on Tuesday nights at participating restaurants.
Of course, like the jerks we are, I made a quip along the lines of “haven’t teachers already suffered so much” or something to that effect, much to the chagrin of a large corporation that was just trying to share some much-needed love and earn some misplaced PR.
