HuffPo: Denny’s Franchisee To Cut Worker’s Hours, Impose Obamacare Surcharge on Customer Bills

“If I leave the prices the same, but say on the menu that there is a 5 percent surcharge for Obamacare, customers have two choices. 

They can either pay it and tip 15 or 20 percent, or if they really feel so inclined, they can reduce the amount of tip they give to the server, who is the primary beneficiary of Obamacare. Although it may sound terrible that I’m doing this, it’s the only alternative. I’ve got to pass the cost on to the consumer.” ~John Metz, Denny’s Franchisee and Hurricane Grill & Wings Owner



Every time the Change.org petition HERE is signed – the CEO at Denny’s will receive an email about your unhappiness about this franchisee.

The Huffington Post is reporting on yet another employer who has said he will be cutting hours for his employees and imposing an Obama surcharge for all customers to pay on their bill.

This time – it’s business owner John Metz. He owns 40 Denny’s franchise locations, owns Hurricane Grill & Wings with 5 corporate stores and 43 franchisee stores, and he also owns several Dairy Queen locations. 

According to the Huffington Post – Metz has decided to place a 5% surcharge at all of his restaurants. As Metz sees it – a customer can choose to tip their servers less if they disagree with the surcharge because that is “who is the primary beneficiary of Obamacare”. Classy
