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

[rightwinger]

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 can't refute the point that low wage workers without healthcare insurance are generally eligible for Medicaid?

Is that why you didn't even try?

That is a red herring.

The fact being discussed here is that Obamacare directly adds to the cost of doing business for Papa John.

Are you disputing this?

A simple yes or no would do nicely, chump.

His point is that the taxpayer is already subsidizing the healthcare of Papa Johns employees

The CEO sang a different tune to shareholders in August:

"We're not supportive of Obamacare, like most businesses in our industry. But our business model and unit economics are about as ideal as you can get for a food company to absorb Obamacare," he said.

"If Obamacare is in fact not repealed, we will find tactics to shallow out any Obamacare costs and core strategies to pass that cost onto consumers in order to protect our shareholders best interests," Schnatter vowed.

In other words, he assured the shareholders that this was no big deal.

No he assured the shareholders that the company would take all steps to mitigate obamcare's damage. That's what they are doing.

What part of the word 'ideal' don't you understand, least intelligent poster on USMB?

Humanity owes everything to the free market and those white men from Greece!

You people are complete morons sometimes.

'Likely' is the telling word, Papa John may have to pay just a bit more in taxes so the asshole takes it out on working Americans. Write the greedy bastard and tell him to stick his pizza where the sun dont shine.

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.'

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.

Cut CEO salaries? Are you crazy? Companies won't get good talent if they don't pay them 400 times more than their employees. Geez, where you been?

What do pizzas cost at their Massachusetts locations?

 

[SniperFire]

worked for you asshole. you've called Republicans every name in the book.

Have I? I think you're projecting. Come up with a substantive post and maybe I'll care what you say.

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.



Deal?

Just pointed out that konradv the commie ran like the weakstick that he is.


LOL

When you raise taxes on someone(business) they pass that onto the consumer. You're not fucking over the rich! It shifts the fucking curve to a higher price to the consumer!

Learn some economics or stfu!

 

[RDD_1210]

So let me get this straight.

He CAN afford to give away 2 million free pizzas, but CAN'T afford an extra .14 cents per pizza for employee healthcare.

And why can't he raise the price of his pizza by .14? Who the fuck is going to complain about that?

This is a cheap political ploy, nothing more.

Aw, shucks.

American industry just won't rollover and play dead to totalitarianism as you had hoped.

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

5 pizzas over 8 hours?

damn...what a slave driver

That is 5 more pizzas per shift. It is incremental to what they must currently produce.

You really aren't the sharpest Crayola in the 64 pack, are you?

OMG....5 pizzas a day

What a tool you are. What does Papa Johns do when the cost of supplies, or gas, or electric or local taxes go up?

More pizzas.....more pizzas.... More PIZZAS


Just an aside....I bought the 128 pack because it had a crayon sharpener. My Crayons are ALWAYS sharp

The cost is 15 cents per pizza. That's a loss of $15 in revenue for every 100 pizzas.

Who said he couldn't 'afford' it?

Suzie is just going to have to work faster to help keep the profits up.

Suzie is already working as hard as she can, and she is just freaking exhausted when she gets home.

Now, her fingers are going to be bleeding as well.


Hopey Changey.

So why can't he raise the cost of each pizza by .15? Please tell me you think the consumer is going to notice or care.

Everyone's costs are rising. Do you dispute that Papa John is doing just fine in this economy? Do you dispute his massive profits? Has he had to sell off any of his palatial estate?

You people are incredible corporate shills ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

It also increases the buying power of every employee who financially benefits from the new law,

and that increase makes its way into the economy as consumption.

YOU learn some economics.

Papa John already pays those kids so little, they can't even eek out a living and they work so hard. How do these cheapskate employers expect the kids to move out of their parents' home when they can't make a few bucks.

That guy needs to concentrate on being fair to his employees and giving them insurance. Instead, he is interested in filling his own pockets some more, just like all these other employers.

Screwing over the employees is the name of the game these days.
