Applebee's, Papa John’s & Darden Restaurants threaten staff cuts

[Palehorse]

Here we go with these rich Owners of Corporate restaurants threatening over the loss of their Golden Calf during the election.

They are all threatening to reduce hours and cut staff, and increase prices over the HRA.

First of all, reducing hours means they are going to drop the hours of their employees in order to avoid having to buy them healthcare. So why the hell do they need to increase prices then?

These lying SOB's are EXACTLY why the HRA was needed in the first place. (In part). 

I say screw them. Raise prices and reduce the hours. And when your prices become unreasonable and your service shitty, no one will come to your damned stores. 

Let us boycott these chains and make them unprofitable.

Applebees
Papa Johns
Red Lobster
Olive Garden
LongHorn Steakhouse
Bahama Breeze
Seasons 52
The Capital Grille
Eddie V's
Yard House

The first 4 are here in Anderson so I am starting there. Instead of ordering a pizza from Papa Johns, I'll go to 3rd Generation or make it at home. Instead of going to Applebees or Olive Garden, I'll make my favorites at home. (Costs less anyway). And Red Lobster can go pound sand up their ass as far as I am concerned.

Food sucks at the first four on that list anyway as far as I'm concerned.

Of course it does. That's why they are located in Anderson in the first place. . .

My prediction is that all four of those places will close in Anderson if this policy is implemented. Most of them are likely only marginally profitable here anyway and such an ignorant move will serve to do nothing more than alienate what few customers they have now. . .

Nobody ever has enough, do they?

Or is is just some people?

And those are the ones who bitch the loudest.

Cutting their noses off to spite their faces.

I just looked at that list again, and we have all of those restaurants here in South Florida except for Eddie V's.

  Isn't it amazing how Schnatter can have a big fund raising party for Romney and live this big and still be so greedy that he doesn't want his employees to have health insurance.    

  It is really to bad that these type of people can't have a little bad karma, like going bankrupt because of their greed or some bad illness that money can't fix.  It would be real justice.   

Damn I hate these god damn Republicans.

the bottom line is, the HCB, is forcing companies of 50 or more to carry insurance.  That will cost MILLIONS of dollars to do for many companies.  It forces the business to either RAISE their prices or not expand above 50.

I know the intention is good....but the means of accomplishing this is bad...for the economy.

Every singe one of these chain restaurants consists of tens of thousands of employees nation-wide, making them eligible for group insurance rates and coverage. Instead, they'll cut hours in order to skirt the law, and raise prices? Bullshit.

Schnatter and the others are a good example of this profiteering tactic and the way government caters to corporate Amerika.

Yup!

Are the restaurants franchises or are they company owned?
