Did they have insurance and do you really want someone with zero healthcare handling your food?

I would like to see some greedy over paid executive fix and run his equipment with a talent pool of the underpaid workers he desires so he can have a ten thousand dollar shower curtain. The reason they are going to close their doors is because they open one on every street corner. When you disrespect the people who are working hard for you, you get what you deserve. You should want employee's to be able to go to the dr.s to stay healthy to help you run your biz right. Good help equals a very well run company.

They do throw tantrums like little kids do! And toss-out threats and guilt-trips etc...Some people may believe their baloney but good that everyone doesn't...You're right. It's all "been there, heard that" kind of stuff and manipulation tactics...My word! Some people are cheap and greedy (beyond description) even though they have so much! ..The wages at these kinds of places are shameful! People work for next to nothing in the service industry just to have a job at all...There aren't many decent paying jobs left or available anymore! And this isn't Obama's fault! Corporations have been "screwing" their employees for decades and getting away with it. (While they laugh all the way to the bank and reap huge profits!)

When corporations started shipping jobs overseas they didn't stop and consider whether people in the USA would be able to continue to buy all of their products. Wages have been going down for a long time. (Way before Obama took office.) And decent paying jobs are hard to find (or hold) these days....If we could get our jobs back on our soil again we'd be able to buy pizza and eat out more often and support businesses in our area...Taxes wouldn't have to go up because steady revenue would be coming in from businesses and employees who had jobs again. (Versus having to draw unemployment or welfare etc.)

If, they had no insurance, they were handling Pizza without insurance, no?

Repeal oBambytax.

That was done before oBambytax was voted in.

If you know what's in the tax bill, tell Congress. They haven't even read it yet.

If it adversely affects businesses or franchises, repeal the tax.

Put the lazy libs to work and get them off welfare.

Funny most of these places work their employees under a certain amount of hours just so they don't have to offer them benefits ...

I work for a company that gladly pays for all the employees insurance... and will continue too... It is a small business under 21 employees... Yet the company's that are 100's of millions are the ones barking the loudest... Hummm guess it just might take their big vacations away from them....

Obambytax hasn't taken full effect yet.

When businesses are compelled to end their contracts with private insurers, I'm certain there will be changes made or many will go under.

You'll go nuts trying to figure out the "gimme gimme" generation.

That's a pretty weak argument, how many people do you know in the food industry with great health insurance if any?

Say that!

Humm so who would they get the insurance through if not from private?

Anyone can goto Esurance.com and get full plans for like $50.00 a month. Everyone wants a handout. If you don't like the fact your employer doesn't offer benefits or the benefits you want find another job.

Hummm you might find auto insurance for that amount but not health insurance your looking at around $400- $500 a month just for one... and that is from Esurance...

I am paying $60.00.

And that is for health insurance?

Medical and vision through Saint Mary's.

If that is from where you work they either get one heck of a deal or pay for most of the insurance...

I don't have insurance through my work. The cheapest plans from esurance per month is $48.67. Run the free quote and see for yourself. Even the good plans are like $100-$150 a month.

Sad thing is, when/if employees start getting insurance, when the claims get filed the insurance company is just going to say "not covered by this policy" and not cough up any dough any way.
