Denny's to charge 5% 'Obamacare surcharge' and cut employee hours to deal with cost of legislation
James Nye Daily Mail.co.uk November 15, 2012
President Obama’s election victory ensured his Affordable Care Act would remain the centerpiece of his first term in power – but that has left some business owners baulking at the extra cost Obamcare will bring.
Florida based restaurant boss John Metz, who runs approximately 40 Denny’s and owns the Hurricane Grill & Wings franchise has decided to offset that by adding a five percent surcharge to customers’ bills and will reduce his employees’ hours.
With Obamacare due to be fully implemented in January 2014, Metz has justified his move by claiming it is ‘the only alternative. I’ve got to pass on the cost to the customer.’
Fuck him and the rest of these assholes like Papa John Schnatte who are worth 1/2 a billion dollars, but don't want to provide health care to their workers who barely make minimum wage.
