Boycott Frenzie

From Addicting Info:
Fox Business Network reported recently that Zane Tankel, CEO of Apple-Metro, an Applebee’s franchisee group for the New York City area, said that Applebee’s “won’t hire more people” because the Affordable Care Act would cost the company “some millions of dollars.” Consumer anger erupted nearly immediately and brought with it a Twitter hashtag calling on consumers to #boycottApplebees.
Great - now we can add Applebee's to the list.  Not that I need any more good reasons to avoid going out to a phony-looking cookie-cutter franchise joint for some shitty food.  It's just that it gets a little hard to keep it all straight.

Chick-Fil-A
Papa John's
Applebee's

Generally, you shouldn't be punished for speaking your mind, but if you decide to beat up on your employees because of your mis-perception of something that hasn't even happened yet, then you're the one who's got a beat-down coming.

And BTW also too - letting your personal politics make your business decisions for you means you're something of a fucking idiot and you should probably not be in charge anymore.
