Re: Restaurants, Obamacare, and boycotts

Are we about to see a revisit of the Great Chick Fil A Facebook War of 2012?


Is another great clash coming where those of us who support Obama and Obamacare (and the welfare/health of minimum wage employees) refuse to patronize the likes of Papa John, Applebees, etc are pitted against the asshats who oppose Obama and Obamacare who will then rally around these restaurants?

Are we going to be subjected to RWNJ's posting pictures of themselves eating nasty food and holding prayer rallies again outside of mediocre restaurants?

Is this how we as a society are going to debate in public from now on, with the posting of pictures of ourselves eating at political restaurants?


If so, I'm gonna track down Mark Zuckerburg and slap him in the

The more these big chain restaurants and bakeries throw tantrums over the ACA, the more they'll drive their business right to local bakeries, pizzerias, and restaurants. They're only going to strengthen small, local businesses and weaken themselves.

A Denny's franchisee is at risk of losing his licenses because he tarnished the brand.

As a certain someone once said, "proceed, governor".

I do not think my county has any of the places listed to boycott. I am ready to take my business to a place that provides better worker benefits.

The GOP places should be marked with a capital "R" so we know the bad places of business.......
