It never ceases to amaze me how some folks can not only miss the point entirely, but go even further and try to bolster their own image with their misconceived take on things. Or, to put it in the vernacular of my generation….. “Dude. Seriously? Get over yourself. Greedy, much?” I think this was rather ill considered of John Schnatter. I am not sure what he hoped to gain from it, but what I mainly took away was this : Not only is this man & his company too greedy to provide decent healthcare to his/its employees, he/it had to be (basically) forced to do so. At that point, he/it could have adjusted and spread the cost between company and consumer or raised prices on a variety of items by a few cents and more than made up the shortfall he is claiming. Nope, he is passing on the total cost to his customer base. Now, not content with that level of douchebaggery and venality, he is taking the additional step of boasting about it. From this we should all proclaim together that Obamacare is evil. Something smells here, but it is neither his limp onions nor universal healthcare.
Papa Johns Pizza To Raise Prices Because Of Obamacare, CEO John Schnatter Says
Wow. You kinda suck, dude. But then, so do your pizzas, so I guess it evens out.
An exchange from my Facebook feed (with names and avatars obscured, of course). The bottom comment is mine, but I figure y’all know me well enough by now to know that. Click on the pic to blow it up for easier reading of the comments.
No more business from me will you get, John Boy.
These are the absolute worst pizzas. They were the only place open late at night while I was in college. So glad not to have to suffer that nastiness in my adulthood. And I didn’t miss the point of your post, by the way, I just hate those pizzas! LOL!
I get take-out once a week from Papa John’s. On a $10 take-out pizza I always put $2 in the tip jar. That’s a 20% tip. With the increase in prices, I guess I’m only going to leave $1.50………….lol
