I can't believe they're forcing people to work on Thanksgiving making so-so pizza instead of spending time with their families. Not to sound like a lefty, but will all of the executives for Franchise Management Investors US be working the holiday or will they be enjoying the holiday with THEIR families? Of course they'll be at home.

Pizza Hut is now in my "No Buy Zone" after this.

He exercised his option to quit his job. Big deal.

Words of wisdom from my father when I started my first job...

"Just remember, if you want to make your own rules, you better get your own store..."

I think the media hype surrounding this stunt is just another part in the next manufactured crisis to help support democrat candidates in the 2014 elections: the worker’s struggle.

Guys working food service and retail get fired for refusing to work every single holiday, that is not news. Probably not every day does a general manager get canned for disobeying corporate policies, but he knows if his hourly paid staff doesn’t work, they won’t get paid.

Why the stunt then? Because it showcases the “struggle” of the working joe who should naturally get paid holidays like those corporate fatcats. The media is eager to cover these stories because it helps push issues democrats can pander to, and at the same time make republicans look bad if they say anything critical.

If he were halfway smart and really wanted to give his team the day off with their families, as general manager, he could also orchestrate a “power/phone/plumbing problem” that conveniently shuttered the store just for the holiday and no one would be the wiser.

SCROOGE: You’ll want all day tomorrow, I suppose.

CRATCHIT: If it is quite convenient, sir.

SCROOGE: It’s not convenient and it’s not fair. If I were to stop half a crown for it, you’d
think yourself ill-used. And yet, you don’t think me ill-used when I pay a day’s wages for
no work.

CRATCHIT: Christmas only comes once a year, sir.

SCROOGE: (He stands. He starts buttoning his coat and putting on his scarf.) A poor
excuse for picking a man’s pocket every twenty-fifth of December! But I suppose you
must have the whole day. Be here all the earlier the next morning!

I always volunteered to work on holidays for double-time. Or on other days for time and a half.

There are other times one can see your family.

The problem is people who would impose blue laws on other people are a menace. Can’t you just let people decide for themselves?

[dalereed]

Anyone taking a job in a restaurant should expect to work on holidays!!!

Pizza Hut is going to have to fix this, this is some really bad PR...

do they sell a turkey and cranberry pizza?

I don’t think so
