Too bad Hermann Cain dropped out. How much ****ty pizza can one Presidential campaign take?
Do I get a free Coke with that?

What do you actually know about their business? You act as though 20 cents is nothing, but you have no idea if that is true. They are in a very competitive market, you don't know that 20 cents isn't a price increase that will cause issues.
Thanks to ObamaCare, your favorite pizzeria might be going out of business.
That's assuming the same number of people order pizza.
With price increases come volume decreases.
The end result will be much more than that. Everything you buy will cost more, not just a stupid pizza.

Because most of them are part-time expendable labor?So a man who has made several fortunes off the backs of his hard working employees without much concern over if they get sick or a child needs medical attention. But he did his good buddy commercials telling us how much he loves the buyer of his pizzas all the while treating his workforce like part time expendable labor.
Likely more than offset by the $.30 per pizza productivity gains of improved employee attendance (reduced absenteeism from illness and injury) and general employee well-being.
One Papa John's franchise owner in Texas, Judy Nichols, says the law could interfere with her ability to open more restaurants.
“I have two options, I can stop offering coverage and pay the $2,000 fine, or I could keep my number of staff under 50 so the mandate doesn't apply,” she told Legal Newsline. Nichols added that the law may cost her between $20,000 to $30,000 extra in taxes. “Obamacare is making me think about cutting jobs instead," she said
Interesting the focus out of the article is the next to un-noticable price increase.
This is what caught my eye.
With abysmal job growth right now, is that something you really want to hear a business owner saying?
Papa John's CEO John Schnatter says that Obamacare will result in a $0.11 to $0.14 price increase per pizza, or $0.15 to $0.20 cents per order, Pizza Marketplace, a trade publication, reports. (Hat tip: @dkberman via Twitter.)
Under Obamacare, the company, which is the third-largest pizza takeout and delivery chain in the United States, will have to offer health care coverage to more of its 16,500 total employees or pay a penalty to the government.
OMG...a 15 to 20 cent increase on a 14.00 pizza to give 16,500 employees a chance at having health care...
Anyone that doesnt believe thats a value is NUTS...because if they dont have insurance we will pay far more for their trip to the emergency room...
Papa John's Pizza To Raise Prices Because Of Obamacare, CEO John Schnatter Says
That the very well off CEO complains and waves a price increase around as a tool to prevent his employees from having healthcare insurance is rather disappointing.
Some people are out of touch. For pennies a pizza little Jane will have healthcare coverage, where is the evil in that?
CEO Schnatter comes off as a greedy, selfish 'I got mine, to hell with the workers!' kinda prick.
Maybe he and Mr. Daniels can start a club.
Yea, really. It's people that don't think price increases cause demand decreases that economists consider "clueless" about the economy.
Yep, I know that if I could have a Papa John's pizza for $14.20 or a pizza hut pizza for $14.00 I'll always go to pizza hut from now on :roll:
Gimme a break, all they are saying is they are passing a possible 20 cent increase on to the customer. If you are debating whether or not to have pizza because of 20 cents you shouldn't be having order out pizza then.
You mean the businessman that has created an empire that employs and provides a livelihood for many thousands of people? As compared to...you? I know...right? What could he POSSIBLY know about the business side of things that you dont get....lol, what a stupid assertion. This guy is obviously an ideological hack.
Last I recall Obama said health care cost would go down, that never happened. Worse yet, he never told us that everything else would go up.
Hey...heres an idea. Start providing health insurance for yourself and your family before you buy your video games, cell phones computers, internet, cable/satellite, and fast food of any kind and we dont have to worry about these conversations.Yep, you better hold off getting that pizza then for 20 cents more. I mean, OMG, having to get ORDER OUT pizza for 20 cents more. What's next? The dollar menu at McDonalds goes up to $1.10. It's Armageddon I tell you, the END OF THE WORLD. AHHHHHHHHHHHH
All of this because of POSSIBLE increases, not definite ones.
