Not Just Papa Johns...It's Applebees and Others

[DemocracyInaction]

Read at HuffPo. Applebees punishing workers over Obama win and ACA, too. Also some Georgia chain firing anyone he thought voted Obama. Pull your business from these sick greedy scum. Money talks...

[movonne]

1. this is what power and money look like...they have and will try to bring

this country down so they can buy it up...

[hedda_foil]

2. Are we talking franchise owners or corporate-owned?

With Applebees and Papajohns it's one thing if franchisees are doing this but even worse if this is coming down from corporate. Are the two ownedby the same company? Obviously we have to organize a major boycott and lots of negative publicity.

7. If they are corporate we could complain to them. Not certain if they care but....

if enough people do so it will have an impact.

5. Papa John's ...

Bitter Pizza!

[mmonk]

13. LOL

[question everything]

16. What is it about Pizza owners who are so nasty?

The former owner of Domino's who thought that he had business inside women's bodies; Herman Cain and now Papa John.

Glad I've never had any pizza from any of them. Hope that Papa Murphy is different.

6. I just emailed Papa John's to tell them I would rather walk 2 blocks down the street at lunch from

now on rather than spend another dime at their store which is right next door to my office.

I basically said shame on them, and that when the poor had nothing left to eat they would eat the rich, and that I wouldn't lift a finger to stop them.

10. no, they're just making political excuses for their layoffs

[DuaneBidoux]

22. I don't think so.

Although I'm sure there are some companies using this as an excuse for laying off people I think most of it is just a temper tantrum to try and show they have the power to do anything they want no matter what democracy dictates.

In other words "If I can't play the game my way then I'm taking my toys and going home" (even if it does hurt them as much if not more than anyone else).

[DavidDvorkin]

11. No, it is NOT Applebee's

It's one Applebee's franchise.

Please, people, stop blaming the entire chain.

[hedda_foil]

12. Thanks, David. Corporate might not like the bad PR

[DavidDvorkin]

15. True, and if so, I hope they do something about this guy

Assuming that their franchise agreement gives them the power to do anything.

[Cleita]

14. If we didn't have so much unemployment they couldn't get away with that.

I really hope Obama can get his jobs bill through to start employing people and jump start the economy again. Then there won't be so many out of work people lunging to work at any job whether part time or not.

[gollygee]

17. Pizza is such a huge profit item anyway

It isn't about whether he can pull a good profit. It's about whether he can have an obscene profit.

[and-justice-for-all]

19. I hope people sue their asses off...wrongful termination. nt

[DuaneBidoux]

20. Somebody needs to start a website to keep a list of who we need to boycott.

21. Eat local. Stop eating at chain restaurants!!

There are far too many great locals who deserve your business. Go Blue if you can and research whether your local biz is Democratically leaning.
