This new fad among the douche-bag set has got me mad.....
Here's a post I made on MSN earlier today in reaction to Papa John's owner John Schnatter joining the baby-with-the-bathwater tossing frenzy.
I worked in the restaurant business for decades, in every capacity, including co-owner. Group insurance is affordable, now, but the owners like John are just used to demanding total teamwork from their workers, yet dodging anything that cuts into their bottom line when teamwork demands them to step up to the plate. Restaurant workers are the single most uninsured worker classification group in the country. Darden is another douche, cutting hours at all his holdings. It's so stupid, because restaurant workers are a low-risk health group too; they are younger and in better physical shape from standing, bending, lifting and running around all through their work shifts.
I'm not gonna boycott these businesses, 'cause it'll just come out of the workers' backs. I am gonna tip even more generously than before, and write down why on the card slip:
"Extra money so you can buy health insurance, since your boss is a whiny, selfish douche!"
