To further offset the costs, Metz, who oversees roughly 1,200 employees as president and CEO of RREMC Restaurants, LLC, said he also will slash most of the staff's time to fewer than 30 hours per week. That change will be announced to employees next month, he said

It simply allows them to add more to the welfare roles. Which, in turn, relates to more votes as long as they keep that monthly check coming.

These decisions aren't made by throwing darts at a board.

This is what makes the "EVIL PAPA JOHN" argument even more hilariously stupid.

If Papa Johns is such an evil money grubber and an "ass-hole" as stated by the OP, then why wasn't he already charging me $12.14???

The answer is that the decline in number of pizzas sold at 12.14 will cost more than the additional 15 cent revenue generate by the number of pizza sold at the new price.

Insane leftists with zero business knowledge LITERALLY think that "a 15 cent price hike wouldn't change anything."

The minds of children.

A fifteen cent difference in price for a product produced by a major national player in a mature industry characterized by price competition and tight margins can literally alter units sold by the thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

If you don't see the difference between advertising and a blanket price increase with a net negative effect on sales... well...

Papa Murphy's Pizza is in the fray too, apparently. I think they sipped the Kool-Aid, though.

Papa Murphy's responds to Papa John's Obamacare drama

November 14, 20126

Amidst another social media firestorm (and boycott movement) surrounding Papa John's CEO John Schnatter's controversial comments about Obamacare, another large pizza chain has not-so-subtly announced its own (seemingly opposing) views on the healthcare law.

This afternoon, Papa Murphy's Pizza, the 5th largest pizza chain in the U.S., posted the following statement on its Facebook page:

And now an important word from this Papa... Papa Murphy's Pizza provides a fun, dynamic and rewarding place to work because we value our employees and their basic needs, including the need for affordable healthcare. Papa Murphy's abides by state and federal laws and will remain in compliance with healthcare reform. Together with our 550+ franchise owners across the country, we are working to implement any necessary changes while staying true to our goal: To provide a superior experience and product every day to every guest.

Trying to jump in for the free advertising... not a stupid strategy.

Seems to me your HC law was passed by partisan vote and the conservative alternatives were turned away by your messiah, or did your MSM not report on that.

YOu voted for one thing and got everything else, hence, YOU DID VOTE FOR THIS SHIT whether you are man enough to admit it or not!

So what? He worked his off ass off to earn that. If you despise it, then go do what he did and earn your own estate. That's the way I see it. Used to be called the American Dream. I envy the dude and want to know exactly how he did what he did so I can learn from him and follow suit.

Now it's called "The Evil 1%er who won't give everything he has to those who refuse to take risks, educate themselves (with useful degrees), or get off their asses and work for what they want."

He sold a lot of bad pizzas for $11.99 instead of $12.13.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stated "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it".

You do recognize that the Evil Witch of the West (Pelosi) assisted Obama is passing the bill don't you?
