Papa John's CEO: Obamacare likely to raise costs, employee's hours being cut

[ThirdTerm]

Papa John’s Pizza CEO John Schnatter is pretty business savvy and the pizza chain is now offering customers the ability to purchase Swift’s new album and a large, one-topping pizza for $22 and fast-food chains are most affected by Obamacare and some companies announced a hiring freeze.

Obama - crushing the little guy!

America gets what she deserves.

That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. Fast food restaurants run on the least possible labor they can, because labor is their biggest expense. He's just another pissed off person spouting off. If he cuts his labor, his product will suffer and he'll lose customers. That's not good business.

Bottom line is it really doesn't matter anyway. Papa John's Pizza sucks to begin with. I'm still not sure how they stay in business.

I don't want this country to become a police state like Britain. Why would anyone wish that?

Plenty of other business that deliver shitty pizza. I never liked Johns anyways.

Also, here's a question, why didn't he just raise his pizza's cost by 50 cents to cover employee healthcare before?

Tell you why, because they don't actually give a shit. He also claimed that Obamacare costs the company about 12 cents or so per pizza, and he's raising it by 50 cents just because he's a spoiled asshole.

What the fuck did you guys think? Did you think we were all lying when we told you this would happen? You just CAN'T be that fucking naive and immature. Obamacare is a nightmare to read, but it's all there in black and white. This whole thing was designed to funnel down to the "public option" and destroy both private insurance and employer coverage. When the "public option" was removed, it funnels down to nothing. Democrats figure that the ensuing public outcry would usher in socialist medicine. THAT's the plan.... big fucking mess, and then whiny citizens begging for relief.

Ridiculous that you idiots don't know this. It's YOUR goddam plan after all.

 

[Murf76]

Oh... and one more thing... All those other guys are going to raise the price of their pies too, as well as cutting hours. The only difference is that they might or might not tell you why.

I eagerly await the companies that will lower their prices just to spite them and get their business.

"America gets what she deserves. " What a good citizen you are. Is this how you approach life's challenges?

Check the Papa John website. Here's what's up at P.J.'s (copied directly from the website):

Every week of the NFL season, we’re giving
away 120,000 FREE PIZZAS to Papa Rewards
members. That’s 17 weeks of FREE PIZZA! So,
enroll in Papa Rewards today because you
could win a FREE PIZZA this NFL season.

And if you care to research this, also check out the 10/31/2012 3rd quarter profits both nationally and internationally. He spending millions and millions of dollars to give away crappy pizza and advertise it excessively, but not interested in letting employees know he is committed to job retention and growth. Gloom, doom and putting it out in Press Releases. Go, team!

 

[Nole]

when the class of people who do have the funds to build and maintain a growing private enterprise start holding the middle class hostage with shit like this Papa's John's nonsense were all screwed.

From a business POV, Pappa Johns motives are a bad business move and could come back and bite his franchise. And secondly, their pizza sucks, maybe thats why he has to cut jobs. Horrid product.

 

[editec]

I agree with Nole, here.

What this guy is doing might be good politics but it's bad business for a company that deals with the general public to alienate half the population by making dramatic political statements like "I'm firing employees because I don'[t like our government".

If I were a shareholder of that company I'd be pretty damned pissed.

...So I'll say the obvious thing. Obamacare is financially fucking his company yet he's pledging to give away 2 million free pizzas ($20 million in pizza) this football season. Financial fucking genius running that company.

Are you sure it's because of Obamacare or is it because they put out a shitty product and people are getting wise?

...the company's stock has tripled since Obama became president, and he's complaining about Obama?

He should come here and post. He'd fit right in with the rest of the 'nuts.
