Fuck Denny's, fuck Pappa Johns, fuck Hostess, fuck Applebee's, and most certainly fuck Chic Fil'A.
They act like they're the best job providers ever. Pretty stupid to threaten employees when they can easily make a lateral move and find another less-than-minimum wage job at say, Wafflehouse, which supposedly does provide healthcare coverage to its employees.
Dear CEOs, if you have employees that touch your nasty food, trust me; they need healthcare coverage. If you pass along your surcharge (while you debate on which yacht to buy while your employees work ridiculous hours with no benefits) then don't be surprised when people don't want to eat at your store (and two birds with one stone, they will be a lot healthier eating someplace else anyway).
Eat local and support your small businesses (their food is usually 10x better anyway).

Ok, rant over...for now.
