Re Papa John's (getting spanked on FB)

[johnnie]

Sorry if you don't have Facebook, but this cracks me up. Papa John's Facebook page is getting spanked by people pissed off about what he said re: Obamacare. What's really funny is how the right keeps trying to say that no one wants Obamacare.

1. no one defends him. its great.

[johnnie]

2. Yeah, there's a handful of nitwits but not many

I was impressed by how many people are reacting negatively to what he said.

[johnnie]

3. They did write some BS a few hours ago

There's been a lot of buzz about some comments made recently by our founder regarding the potential impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on our business. We certainly understand the importance of healthcare to our customers, our employees, small business owners and their employees.

As a publicly traded company, we were responding to a direct question from an analyst on our quarterly financial conference call about the anticipated costs of complying with the Act. When certain business costs increase – such as fuel, ingredients or employee healthcare – there is naturally an impact to the price of products and services.

The vast majority of Papa John's restaurants are owned by small business people, each of whom will be impacted in different ways by costs associated with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Papa John’s remains fully committed to providing our customers with better ingredients and better pizza at the best value.

4. i don't think most people go to papa johns because they love it

the people who go there are usually the ones without other pizza places to go to. they feel like getting take out, pizza etc. mostly limited to crappy chains. if they feel like pizza it's papa johns. or papa johns or dominoes or pizza hut.

in my area they are always offering coupons and other deals .

[johnnie]

5. I've seen it at working lunches

I agree with you. I just thought it was funny that there are so many people telling him to stick it on their Facebook page. Papa John's posted something about "Friendship Day" or something and even in that post people are telling them they suck.

6. I think Papa John the Dipshit is hoping for his own Chick-full-of-hate moment....

...I bet he gets all moist just thinking of knuckle-draggers lining up to buy his shitty pizza to bash marriage equality.

[JI7]

7. in the case of chick fila the food is actually good , but i can't see people lining up for papa john

[Raster]

8. Agreed. I tried PJ pizza ONCE, and that was all it took.

[pansypoo53219]

10. LOL. us too.

steve colbert really clobbered it.

[malaise]

14. He was great

[ohheckyeah]

12. Ditto...

worst pizza I ever ate....about half a piece was more than enough.

[MNBrewer]

21. Disagree

CFA is horrible from what I remember as a kid (the last time I allowed it to touch my tastebuds), while Papa Johns is at least as good as Jabba the Hut. However.... I will not be eating any Papa Johns from here on out.

9. How's this for hypocrisy? Only managers get health insurance at Papa John's. I found that

out at the FB link in the OP. His own employees narced him out on it!!!!

From PJs Facebook page.

Regular full time employees(driver) like me DO NOT GET OFFERED HEATH INSURANCE,only managers. Thats how cheap john schnader is. But yet they raise delivery fees and stillpay me the same for delivery and pocket the rest. Greed...............

Scnatter's big beef is not the cost of ACA per se. What's twists his undies is that he would have to offer the same insurance to his rank and file employees/slaves that he offers to his managers/overseers

[MNBrewer]

22. Not surprising

Probably have to work 35 hours/ week to get anything. And they schedule everyone at less.

[sarcasmo]

27. Nice to see employees giving him the beat down.

[Kennah]

11. The douche is getting owned on his own FB page

I wonder if they will start moderating it before long.

[Bonhomme Richard]

13. That's brutal. What a rube. n/t

[DiverDave]

15. Found this on the FB page

Priceless!
We usually buy pizza from a little shop that my kids go to school with the kids of the owners.
Tasty pizza and great service.
Win-Win.

16. One FB comment: "No Papa Johns, no Chik-fil-A. I feel healthier already! Obamacare is working."

[liberalmuse]

28. I love this!

[just1voice]

17. Is this spam?

A facebook ad?

[maddezmom]

19. nope, it's not spam

"trash this thread" is your friend if you don't want fluff, etc.

[johnnie]

20. Ummm, yeah it's spam

Maybe you should alert on it.

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. LOL!

just wait until your remaining customers realize that your employees, lacking adequate healthcare, are coughing and sneezing on all your pizzas. You will never see another penny from my family, and I'll do my best to spread the word to other families, because you obviously are NOT about families.

29. "Sick people make great pizza... or they die."

[Proles]

23. It does rather restore my faith in Americans to read most of those comments.

I think people are finally getting fed up with corporate greed and can see through their lies.

Definitely support your local pizzerias instead. I realize most corporations are managed by republicans, but I draw the line when they start turning their company into a vocal political platform.

[Puregonzo1188]

24. I must be using facebook wrong. I use it and nobody ever spanks me.

[MNBrewer]

25. You must not be using the "Friends with benefits" option

[Puregonzo1188]

32. Clearly I am missing out.

[Alduin]

26. I put in my two cents.

[appleannie1]

30. Some of those are brutal. I never eat Papa John's anyway. Now I will never start.

[gollygee]

31. They could have raised the prices 10 to 14 cents and nobody would have known why

So stupid.

[madrchsod]

33. prices are also going up because of the drought

maybe he should blame mother earth
