Did Ed just call for a boycott of Denny's?

[DonRedwood]

a rough quote: "As a __________ (Democrat?) I won't darken the door of anyone who" (would basically cut workers hours to avoid healthcare). He said this with the Denny's Logo underneath him and following a story about how he had threatened to cut hours or charge a surcharge.

1. Sounds good to me.

2. I thought it was a franchise owner who said he would surcharge for ACA, not the CEO of Denny's.

3. The Denny's in our town is so bad

Bad Service, Bad food and Bad atmosphere that we've been boycotting them for years. And then there's the reputation Denny's has of discriminating against African American customers- like Secret Service agents.

4. Naw, don't pick on all Denney's >>

Denny’s Pancakes With a Side of Obamacare Tax? Not Yet

Fans of the Grand Slam breakfast, fear not. The Denny’s franchise owner who told a reporter that he would be adding a 5 percent “Obamacare” surcharge to diners’ meals has walked back that statement.

John Metz, who owns around 40 Denny’s and multiple Dairy Queen Locations in Florida, as well as a franchise called Hurricane Grill & Wings, made news and ruffled diner food fans’ feathers when he told the Huffington Post that he planned to add a 5 percent surcharge at the start of next year in addition to cutting back some full-time employees to part time. His reasoning, he said, was that the measures are necessary to offset the costs of the Affordable Care Act, which goes into full effect in 2014.

But now representatives for Metz are walking back those statements, telling ABC News in a statement that while Metz will cut back hours his employees work, the 5 percent surcharge was merely speculation, and never was his actual intention.

“Hurricane Grill & Wings will be implementing the 28 hour [maximum hour] rule in all corporately owned and operated restaurants starting in Q1 of 2013. The 5 percent surcharge mentioned in various online outlets is pure speculation and only a potential option should the law be re-written to include full-time equivalents,” the statement read. “The surcharge is not to be implemented or considered at this time.”
