I AM NOT BOING TO SPEND A CENT AT JIMMY JOHNS. Owner Killing African Animals For Sport.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Just saw a despicable pictureS of the owner of Jimmie Johns with dead elephants & rhinos. Recently killed last black rhino in a national park that was pregnant. It was on my wife Facebook feed.

IT IS SO F&^*ING DISGUSTING.

1. Trophy Hunting is a sign of mental illness.

I believe those people are dangerous. They take life just to say they did it.

2. I got a sandwich from them not too long ago,

and there was almost no flavor to the meat at all. So that alone is going to keep me from going there.

They also have a policy of hiring only part timers so as not to have to pay any benefits.

[TipTok]

3. Their sandwiches are meh at best...

... so that's an easy call.

[Thav]

11. They're very meh

My wife and I tried them once on a road trip, and were wholly underwhelmed. One finally came to town and everyone was so damn excited about it. I haven't eaten there in the 3 years its been here.

4. Ditto for Me

I love JJ's but no fucking more

That's it for me - Screw that SOB

[liberalhistorian]

5. I stopped spending any money there several

years ago, after finding out how badly they treated their workers and their horrendous employee policies. Such as forcing people to come to work sick or they'd lose their jobs. First, any employer who does that is automatically off of my list of businesses to patronize. Second, it's doubly worse if it's a restaurant/food establishment, because they're showing that they not only don't give a shit about their health of their employees, if they require employees to handle food when they're sick, then they obviously don't give a shit about the health of their customers either. They put the almighty dollar before anything else and I won't support that.

8. They provided free food to

the Romney campaign. They are a known republican outfit.

7. The Papa Johns owner is also a certified asshole.

Seems like the pizza chain business attracts asshole repukes.

9. Never have, never will. nt

[jmowreader]

10. I wasn't going to anyway

I've seen "hippies use backdoor" signs through the window in a couple of their restaurants. No business that displays that sign will ever get any of this hippie's money.

[Vinca]

12. I'll never understand the point of killing to hang a head on the wall.

If I ever walked into someone's "trophy" room I'd probably burst into tears.

[Iggo]

17. Because you're not scum.

[CBGLuthier]

13. To be honest I have more of a problem with their labor practices than what the owner does.

They make their employees sign a non-compete clause so if they quit or get fired they can't work at another fucking sandwich shop for a set period of time. They are also aggressively anti-union.

[Brickbat]

21. While it's possible to care about both, I find it odd and a little frustrating that when it comes to

food service, the animals' plight often gets much more attention and action than the people's.

[CBGLuthier]

23. Yeah, that's kind of how I feel. I am no hunter but I sure don't think

they are mentally ill as one poster said. I do and will always care more about people than animals.

[MH1]

26. Just a theory - the trophy hunting is more of a differentiator.

It's probably easier to compile a list of fast food restaurants that treat their employees decently, than keep track of all the ones that don't.

[Brickbat]

27. I'm talking more about the animals used for food and how they're treated before slaughter.

I may not have been clear about that.

[MH1]

29. Ah, got it.

That wouldn't be a differentiator at all. As I think you're pointing out, they're both issues, but some people seem to prioritize the animals over the people.

Although I don't like factory farming (which again is not a differentiator), the issue is different with trophy hunting. So someone who can look past the factory farming to go to any of these places at all, might not be able to look past the owner's contribution to the obscenity that is trophy hunting.

Your comparison of the factory farming vs. the way workers are treated is apt. Both apply widely to the type of business. Although if there is a list somewhere that grades these places on how they treat workers, I'd love to know about it. I'd bookmark it and try to keep it in mind when faced with the need to patronize one of these places. (which I try to avoid but cannot always.)

14. I spent a long, weird night with Jimmy John back in the 90s.

His girlfriend was college roommates with my girlfriend at the time. I am pretty sure they did a lot of blow.

Weird dude.

[Iggo]

15. Never have. Never will.

Trophy hunters are the scum of the earth.

Every single one of them.

[B Calm]

16. Boing?

[Iggo]

18. Autocorrect is a motherfucker sometimes.

[B Calm]

19. LOL, I have that on this tablet. Drives me crazy!

[Sunlei]

20. to many of those meh, processed, over-fattening sandwich, pizza, wings, delivery places.

If they didn't deliver almost everywhere, those businesses would die off and the CEOs wouldn't have the wealth to pay 200k to kill and stuff exotic animals.

[Brickbat]

22. His cabin is full of trophies. The kind of trophies you get when you sit in a Jeep and someone

drives the Jeep to a private reserve watering hole and a good shooter takes the first shot so you can follow up with the second.

[kydo]

24. Their sammies suck. Its a place better avoided

Really cheaply made sandwiches. I still have nightmare flash backs of their roast beef sandwich that consisted of mostly lettuce (dry stale and old too) that was shoved into a hot dog bun with a tiny tiny bit of one very thinly sliced piece of something that looked like roast beef lunch meet. It was horrid! worst sandwich I have ever eaten. Never again will I eat there.

[mountain grammy]

25. Once was enough for me..

will never go back!

[Kalidurga]

28. At this rate I will be making all my meals at home.

Not that this is a bad thing. I am learning how to make a lot of things that I really like.
