Papa John's to raise pizza prices if 'Obamacare' survives: CEO

DJ Dalamar · 08-09-12, 04:07 PM

I love the line about wishing business would stay out of politics. They love to as soon as politics stays out of business. Seriously pass a low that's going to cost you millions a year and your suppose to just keep quiet?

Nothings free your paying for your healthcare with price increases across the board. That's for the companies that stay anyway and not just pack up and move even more jobs over sea's.

I just don't understand why with unemployment so high you keep attacking business.

unreal. do u work in the food industry or u just make this sh1t up?

How the fk do u expect one store to move 25K in revenue in one day, let alone one Saturday night.

it was several grand, but not 25 grand, you're right. even though you're being a fuckhead about it.

i worked at a papa johns for like 3 weeks about 7 or 8 years ago and remember the amount of money they generated on friday and saturday was out of this world, especially considering they have stores all over the place. it was way more than i would have thought one damn store amongst like 10 or so in the city would have made.

He will not raise his prices until he forces a lot of the smaller pizza companies out of business. Google godfathers pizza founder and bill clinton discussion. Cain is right on this one.

by the way, papa johns should realize they can make better pizzas for less money easily. the highest food cost markup in the food industry is pizza. i don't know this for a fact, but i challenge anyone to find a food/dish/etc that has a higher markup than pizza.

so i say go fukk yourself in the ass with the handle of a pizza slicer when i hear some fast food pizza empressario talk about passing along costs to the customer for any reason. fukk you papa john, you fukking lowlife gazillionaire.

thanks! BOL to you today.

Yes they are "clowns". That's why their shows are on Comedy Central. Pull your head out. Don't get angry because you don't have a legitimate rebuttal.
