Papa John's CEO: Obamacare likely to raise costs, employee's hours being cut

[ScienceRocks]

Papa Johns cuts employees and hours he makes fewer pizzas and takes longer to deliver

Good business model

Yes, his business will suffer, but you had better believe the squeeze will be on to get more productivity out of those poor dough-slingers in the hours that they actually do get to work.

But most of those working poor pizza makers probably voted for Obama.


They get what they voted for.

Parts of me wants Obama to do what France just did. Parts of me that is...Right up the ass!

 

[konradv]

No, it won't.

This is what you don't get.

He will avoid that cost by cutting hours and making the underclass that works for him produce more.

But Suzie the dough slinger voted for this. She needs to buckle down and work harder for less.

Back to work! chop chop

That's the Republican solution, work for less and turn us into a third world country?!?! Sure they want to run on that platform? Unless the aim is to become a permanent minority party. Lots of Republicans stayed home this time. How many more will next time, when they have to work three jobs to make ends meet?

Don't be silly. It is all about what the consumer will buy.

Price is king, especially with Democrats.

You are aware that the Liberal is the least likely demographic to buy an American union made automobile, right?

But America, and Suzie, gets what she voted for this time.

Got some cites? All I see are claims with no back up. Prove that liberals are least likely to buy a union car. If price is such a big deal, it's because the "underclass" has been shafted sine the 80s. BTW, do you think calling Americans that is going to help the Republicans next time?

 

[SniperFire]

Why hasn't he done that already? Has he been intentionally running inefficient businesses?

Obamacare was not to be fully implemented, and the punishment it delivers to our most vulnerable working poor, until after the '12 election

If you don't know such basics, why are you even posting?

If your insight was worth 2 cents, Romney would be president.

You're implying that Papa John's can run the same business it's running now with fewer employees working fewer hours.

If that's the case, then why haven't they been doing that up until now? Why has Papa John's been employing people they don't need?

The expense of Obamacare will only kick in now, after the election.

(Let me know if I need to repeat that for you a third time, dumbass)

The expense to Papa John's was avoidable with the election of Romney.


But Suzie the sauce spreader voted for this. She is just going to have to work faster.

If Papa John is such a genius he should have been getting more productivity regardless of whether he pays more for healthcare or not.

We hear this same nonsense every time we raise the minimum wage

Obama - crushing the little guy!

America gets what she deserves.

' A day after Barack Obama earned a second term in the White House, Papa John's founder and CEO John Schnatter said the president's signature health-care reform law would increase his business costs and possibly result in employees' hours being cut.'

John Schnatter Papa John's CEO: Obamacare likely to raise costs, employee's hours being cut

How come they never say, "Increased costs will mean we need to cut CEO Salaries" -

Or

"Increased costs mean we won't sponsor that vanity Bowl Game this fall".

Nope. Got to cut those employee benefits, and then wonder why we get a consumer backlash against our product.

Peyton Manning needs to get paid. Sorry Suzie, it's franks and beans again tonight.

Liberals are the least likely to buy American, as well as the least likely to help the poor.

You are takers.

I am surprised you would be shocked by these well-known facts.

No it wasn't. Low wage Papa John's workers would have continued to be eligible for Medicaid.

Nobody is arguing that Papa John is genius.

They will simply make the same conclusion that everyone else in small business will make, now that they are the victims of an unleashed Obama.

Keep employees to a minimum, and make the employees produce more.

Yes they do...and a consequence of this election is that ROMNEY WON'T BE PRESIDENT!!!!! lolololololol!!!!!

A consequence I can certainly live with quite easily.

Oh, you mean like the recession the Republicans like Gingrich predicted in the early nineties when the minimum wage was raised?

THAT minimum wage?

Clearly, you are flailing pathetically.

Nobody disputes the cost of pizza goes up under Obamacare.

Clearly, this cost is the direct result of the implementation of Obamacare.

You will run away.

I will give you the several links which prove you liberals are the least likely Demographic to buy America or help the poor if you agree to stick around, discuss it and take your beatdown.

If you can make your employees produce more you should do it regardless. It's called good business practice.

And I thought Papa John was a genius

Not always. Should we add business management to the long, long list of topics about which you are demonstrably ignorant?

You will be pissed when you are expected to crank out 5 more pizzas per shift for no extra pay.

Well, probably not, because as long as Papa Johns keep acting like assholes, less folks will buy their pizzas.. so not so much.
