But NOT employee appreciation, since they're now going to be "forced" to provide adequate healthcare coverage to their workers. We'll give red to GoDaddy because of their SOPA support... why not red Papa John's out of existence for their anti-worker-benefit stance?

Well, this is a deals site and not a political one that's why (and I never gave red to GD either based on their politics). While I do not agree with PJ's stance re their employee health care this is a decent deal for their pizza and so I gave green. Let's keep the politics off this site please (there's enough of that nonsense elsewhere on the net) and simply give red for bad deals instead of how we might personally feel about the company or their policies. Don't like the company? Don't get the deal. Simple.

Now I'm waiting for MY red from the politicos here (but hoping for green from those who actually come to this site for deals).

yes. i think the customer appreciation day is based on region/shop. not necessary that all the shops across the nation (as i interpreted from the title) will participate on the same day!

Where do you think the money would magically come from to "provide adequate healthcare coverage to their workers"? By charging customers higher prices. The whole purpose of a hot deals forum is to pay as little as possible so that a consumer can get the most bang for their buck, not to transfer wealth from consumers to employees.

Agreed, and as a consumer (and as the mod mentions above), I factor in their business practices in my purchase decisions as well. I'm looking for the best value proposition, not ONLY absolute lowest price. I want a deal like the next person, but if that "deal" gets me sick because a company doesn't use basic sanitation practices, then that kind of ruins the deal. I'd rather pay "extra" for a pizza that comes from a store that is sanitary, if indeed, it costs "extra" for them to be sanitary. If I save a buck because the pizza shop uses fake cheese, then it's not really a deal. I'd rather pay "extra" for real cheese on my pizza. It's not much different than our paper towel surface area versus paper towel effectiveness discussions... one is cheaper than the other, but that does not always mean better value. Similarly (though not exactly the same), I'd like for workers to be appropriately treated. And if that costs "extra," so be it. I don't need my "deals" to weigh too heavily on the backs of others.

If you want better pay and/or benefits, find another job. Don't ask the govt to force someone to give it to you.

The reason not to red Papa John is because you are completely wrong on your facts. Papa John has _always_ provided health insurance to its own employees. The misrepresented quotes come from a discussion in which he merely speculated as to what the _franchisees_ MIGHT do. You are spreading BS.

"Papa John's, like most businesses, is still researching what the Affordable Care Act means to our operations," he wrote. "Regardless of the conclusion of our analysis, we will honor this law, as we do all laws, and continue to offer 100 percent of Papa John's corporate employees and workers in company-owned stores health insurance as we have since the company was founded in 1984."

Riznick pointed to a simple example of what puzzles me about VBM's "venture out" in this topic. Why allow politics in simple deals?

Your premise is a lie. I challenge you to educate yourself on the facts before responding. Don't be a mindless sheep.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-h-schnatter/papa-johns-obamac...He didn't say that PJ's didn't provide any health care but they will be required to provide it in a way that will comply with Obamacare. In the article you linked, Papa John's owner admits that it would be "common sense" to cut employee hours to avoid health care compliance and further admits that's exactly what they did in state's that have similar state-level requirements. "You find loopholes to get around it..." as he put it. So by his own admissions, it's not such a huge leap to get to "we did it before and we would do it again".

Sure, but in order to comply with Obamacare, most companies will need to make changes.

The reporter, asked him to guess if franchises might do that. He gave a very honest answer. I think it would be more insulting if he lied. All businesses modify their behaviors when new rules are made.

How does that, in any way, suggest that he has an anti-worker-benefit stance? It's certainly possible that he does have such a stance, but it wasn't reflected in his comments.
