At least with Chik-fil-a there was the dilemma that the food people were boycotting was really tasty. What are we giving up with Papa John’s? That tub of garlic butter they throw in the box?

“tub of garlic butter ”
HA! It isn’t even butter, it’s nasty margarine!
We’re not missing a damn thing in boycotting this dorky right wing jerk with his Randian-Ecoli Conservatism.
FUCK PAPA JOHN’S and Schnatter too!

Now that is poetry! LMAO

There was no dilemma for me. Both Chik-fil-a and Papa Johns taste like ass.
Or, as Stephen Colbert put it, “a raccoon’s ass that drowned in your bird bath.”

What really burns my ass about dipshits like these is how do they think they made all that money? Great you started a business. You took a risk. But who cooked your pizzas? Who delivered them? Who busts their ass night after night so you can basically find ways to cut their healthcare? You don’t wanna raise the price on your pizzas then take a fucking pay cut. You’ll still earn more money then you could spend and way more then any of your employees.
Jesus all of this is basically do some 1% asshole can watch a digital number on a screen increase. That’s it. “That’s my wealth. Aren’t I wonderful?” No you’re really not.
Who made you rich? We did! The people you describe as takers made you rich because we purchased your pizza from people just like us who made it.
But not any more. I’m gonna get pretty damn healthy because apparently I can’t eat fast food anymore because they’re all owned by right wing assholes.

When you equate financial success with virtue, “That’s my wealth. Aren’t I wonderful?” is a perfectly reasonable thing to say.

Exactly! You’d think he’d show some apprecialtion to all his workers that helped make him stinkin’ rich by raising the price of his pizzas a few measely cents so they can have health coverage. But NOOOOOO, he has to act out like a ginormous diaper baby ‘cuz big meany Obama is forcing him to do the right thing instead of putting his profits in his back pocket and blowing it on a ridiculous, tiny penis compensating toy.

Apparently, Friday was national “Support your local Papa John’s” worker degradation day. Damn I missed it.
I hope it was really.. “national have a side of saliva with your Papa John’s Pizza” day for all the proud murkin’s looking to stick it to those low wage moochers.
“Crappy ingredients, sick employees, drool diluted toppings”..Papa Johns
Somewhere in the course of all this, I saw a cost estimate that puts the price Papa pays for one of his pies at ….25 cents.
With that kind of mark up, no wonder he can live on his own personal Disneyland.
So… no Papa, no Denny’s, no Applebees, no Twinkies….combined with universal healthcare. Cardiologists across the country nervously eye their portfolios….
We may be witnessing the dawn of the age of the “American Lazarus”.

Well I wouldn’t say I’m all that new but thanks for thinking of me.

There was a time when being boycotted was a terrible business model. Now, getting boycotted leads instantly to increased support from people who don’t like the politics of the people doing the boycotting. Ask the owners of Chick-Fil-A how business is.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if these CEOs have started saying outrageous things specifically so someone will call for a boycott.

Papa John’s, Chick-Fil-A, Applebee’s, I’d say let those right wingnut assholes have all the Stuff-Your-Fat-Faces-With-Garbage Apreciation Days they want. It’ll just lead to their quick demise by cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. Then who’ll want to eat at their House of Shit restaurants?
Lazarus Durden
No because we’ll have to pay for them. Betcher ass they’ll be the first ones to line up demanding oxygen, rascals, and gastric bypasses under Obamacare.

Perhaps. Still doesn’t mean I need to spend what money I have there. I boycott not because I really think that losing my business is going to make a real difference to anyone’s bottom line. I do so because I believe it’s the right thing to do and it makes me feel a little better about myself.
muselet
I don’t disagree with you. I was referring to organized boycotts, not individual decisions.

“Suckiest Douche Alive” would have been a better title for John Schnatter and his Pooper John’s pizza.

BUY LOCAL!
Lazarus Durden
I do simply because it tastes a hell of a lot better. I can name four or five local pizza places with better food then any pizza chain. Heck the natural food store makes fantastic pizzas with all natural ingredients for 9 bucks a pie which is the equivalent of a Papa John’s extra large. It tastes way better and doesn’t leave you feeling like shit after you eat it.

I intend to buy local as much as possible from now on. I think it is more important than ever. No one deserves to live in a forty thousand square foot house made possible by fucking his employees out of their livelihood. Fuck em’.
