Pizza, beer and TV.  If you keep up that routine you're going to become a diabetic and need Obamacare.

Appears Mr. Franchisee Metz got slapped by corporate  -  I'm pretty sure Denny's probably has a clause in franchie contract -  Franchisee's "not allowed to bring negative impact to corp Brand.

>Denny’s chief executive John Miller privately reached out to Metz to express his “disappointment” with the Florida franchisee’s controversial statements about Obamacare, which sparked a wave of backlash for the national restaurant chain over the past few days.

“We recognize his right to speak on issues, but registered our disappointment that his comments have been interpreted as the company’s position,” Miller said in an email to The Huffington Post. Metz also released a statement following their conversation expressing remorse for his comments. “We regret that the statements we made may have been interpreted as representative of the Denny’s brand or of other franchisees, which they are not,” Metz said. “Our stores do not have a 5 percent surcharge.”
The backlash has spread to other Denny’s franchises as well. An owner of seven locations in Florida said that they nearly unplugged the phones after a deluge of angry callers to the restaurants.

TM7-
What then is the difference between Papa John corp and a Papa Johns FRANCHISE? If you read and comprehended what you read, you would have noticed he says that FRANCHISE owners will be forced to cut hours. As a public figure he spoke up for the little guys, the franchise owners and their employees, he still gets his franchise fee, regardless.  Papa john has no control over what the owners do as the franchise owners have no control over what promotions Papa John corp runs- I.E free pizzas. You all look at the CEO as evil incarnate for building a successful chain of pizza shops, why? Jealousy?

When we start relying on information from Pizza Magnates(maggots?) we are in big trouble anyway. I guarantee that if the Pizza places don't have enough employees to keep up with the demand for their pizzas, they will hire more workers....period.

One great aspect of the free market – the actual free market and not what we have on Wall Street – is that customers have choices.

Despite Schnatter’s Huffington Post op-ed on November 20th claiming his words were twisted, Papa John’s has continued to experience one of its sharpest drops of the year, sending it well below  rival Pizza Hut. 

Diners reacted swiftly to anti-Obamacare comments by execs at three restaurant chains  Applebee's, Denny's and Papa John's.

Appears Olive Garden and Red Lobster didn't learn from Papa Johns and Denny's.
So they had to learn the hard way.

After taking heat for suggesting it would cut restaurant workers’ hours to avoid having to give them health insurance under Obamacare, Darden restaurants announced a change of heart Thursday: It won’t switch anyone’s status to part time. The restaurant chain also said it will offer full-time employees — whether they’re hourly workers or executives — access to the same health plans.
After lowering the company’s earnings estimates earlier this week, Otis had said, “Our outlook for the year also reflects the potential impact, though difficult to measure, of recent negative media coverage that focused on Darden within the full-service segment and how we might accommodate health care reform.

Appears you try and screw the employees long enough and word gets around and sales drop. Glad to see all the negative feedback impacted their bottom line enough for them to step up and do the right thing (which they should have done from the start).

People are not eating out as much because of the election.  We aren't for sure, money spent eating out is used now for prepping.  The economy is in far worse shape than the left realises.  There are going to be massive layoffs next year.  Yesterday's unemployment is up another percent, above 8%.  In 1980's figuring, it is running about 12%.  Old school economics says over 10% for any length of time is a depression.  All of this is bogus, not as many are eating out, can't afford it.  Orders for Christmas goods were down 20% this year according to the Chinese.  Hmm.

I dont know if the corp is blowin smoke or not , it is their words not mine , Corp stated their initial decision to cut hours and subsequent bad media press did in their 4th quarter. Not my words. Theirs.
