In reply to the discussion: Papa John's CEO John Schnatter Says Company Will Reduce Workers' Hours In Response To Obamacare [View all]My message:
"... I will not spend another dollar at Papa John's because I cannot support John Schnatter's transparent political bullying as reported in the Naples News. I do recognize that there is are decisions to be made when a business that failed to provide health care coverage for 2/3 of its work force needs to pay the full cost of employing its workers. But publicly blaming a law that preserves for-profit medicine while ending unfair treatment of low-wage employees in the wake of the election is political grandstanding. And implying Obama's health care initiative forces reductions in hours for Papa John's workers is particularly absurd in light of your CEO's previous estimate that these costs might add less than fifteen cents to the price of a pizza. As a consumer, fifteen cents would not make the difference between my choosing to buy a pizza or choosing something else, and I'd be thrilled to know I was buying from an employer who actually valued the welfare of its employees were the price increase explained in those terms. Instead, the message I hear is that Scnhatter just wants to wring every last dime from his employees, and is willing to mess with their ability to earn a living wage just to avoid chipping in for their health insurance and to curry favor with his Republican friends."
I've actually been making my own since I saw how much sodium is in their pizza, but if I need to buy some for a class or something, as I occasionally do, I'll definitely buy elsewhere.
