In your opinion.
It's an opinion. Don't state it like you're offended that others disagree.

threw up in my mouth a little bit when you mentioned dominos
[QUOTE=Kopimi;38405683]threw up in my mouth a little bit when you mentioned dominos[/QUOTE]
Agreed. I do not know if it is different in other areas, but in California it is considered a last resort for most if not all of the people I know.

if I'm agreeing with kopimi on anything it must be really impossibly terrible
Keep in mind that the Ceo is almost as wealthy as Romney.
While in denmark, we just have delicious pizza not tainted by franchising :v:
Business owners passing the cost of higher taxes on employees and clients? Abomination!
Seriously none of you saw that coming? Business owners will always do that. That's how you do business. What fucking businessman would pass on profit or just let the costs increase and not do anything about it? Higher taxes / less employees or hours for them is a direct result of higher taxes.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;38403063]Blame republicans all you want, the fact is Obamacare is bad for business, these guys don't have much of a choice in the matter now that Obama's been reelected.[/QUOTE]
No they do have a choice, it's called raising your fucking prices and using that increase to pay for the health care. What you think people won't pay like 50 cents on top of their standard price so some poor sod can get their healthcare or do people like you hold the belief that the American public is pathologically opposed to helping their fellow man/paying slightly more money for a pizza?
I'm no pizza snob but I don't remember Papa Johns being very good.
I think that guy wears eyeliner as well.

Yeah people will go "I'm gonna go buy here and not at that cheaper place that's better anyway because I want these guys to get healthcare".

Then the problem stems from the fact that Papa Johns is a shit product, so frankly regardless of healthcare plans, they should be working to remedy that.

Of course every business should work on improving their product but add some extra cost to a business and they will increase the price of the product if they can handle it but if the product is not popular enough and can't stand the increased price they will cut on employees or hours. Plus if other businesses (all of them not just pizza) are increasing prices, then people have less money to spend, meaning there will be businesses cutting on employees/hours anyway because there will be less customers.
Higher taxes always have and always will do that.
Now I wish I had some pizza.
As far as I can remember, I haven't seen a Pappa John's in the UK.
Besides, if I want Pizza, I order from a local take-away or occasionally have Pizza Hut if I'm out with my mates in town
Not that keen on Dominos
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;38406590]But we're talking about food here, something that is driven largely by preference. I don't know many people who would order from a place they don't like as much just to save[B] 50 cents. [/B][/QUOTE]
Unless something is essential and there is only one place you can get it from, everything is driven by preference. Don't underestimate the impact that increasing the price can have, even if it's a small one. Especially in the food industry because you buy those products repetitively. Which is what the restaurants really want, for you to come back again and again. There will (not even might) be people who will stop coming back.
[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;38402774]way to go, 99% of r/politics already vowed to boycott applebee's because of that misinformation.[/QUOTE]
And 98% of them will forget they said it after a month, tops.
I wish we had cheap (and good) pizza in Norway :(
A pizza usually ends up costing between $28 and $32 here where I live.
[QUOTE=Nikota;38403737]Nah man. Don't go Dominoes. Romney owns it.[/QUOTE]
They give money to homophobic hate groups too.
Also, I never give money to chain pizza. I get it from this independant shop. Feta, sun-dried tomato and spinach. Wonderful. If you are ever in the region of Kitchener-Waterloo Ontario, check out Arca in New Hamburg. Best fucking pizza in the province.
Local pizzerias are the best.
[QUOTE=Lazor;38402781]papa johns charges a delivery fee but not one cent of that actually goes towards delivery costs(drivers pay for gas and their own car)
that should tell you all you need to know[/QUOTE]
Name me one fucking pizza company that doesn't do this?
Pizza Hut has the delivery charge, Domino's has it too, at this point who doesn't have it anymore?
Am I seeing a conspiracy where there isn't one or are Republican business owners [I]artificially altering employment statistics[/I] to blame Obama for unemployment?

Business owners passing the costs of higher taxes on employees or clients is artificially altering employment or price statistics to blame the government for unemployment or high prices. You heard it here first.

Firing employees because a democrat got elected isn't the same thing as laying them off because of higher taxes.

Are the taxes higher and is it certain that obamacare is not going away now?
the fuck are you saying
[QUOTE=teh pirate;38408308]the fuck are you saying[/QUOTE]
the fuck dont you understand
i dont know how to respond to this
nothing you have said so far really makes any sense i'm just kind of guessing at what point you're trying to make

This has nothing to do with the company's financials though, why do people think it does?
