    might have even been a tad bit of veracity to his statements had they not already been in full swing w the cheaper ingredients thing
    their current pizzas aren't even close to what they started out making
    it the home depot formula of business
    do it cheap and well until most of your competition folds and then sell off your soul for the money
    poopy johns was never in it for the long haul and all the principals are walking away filthy rich no matter what happened

    oh, so it wasn't your fault
    fucken idiot
    dear, uh, john
    lol at your disingenuous concern for his employees
    like they give a fuck about you
    the only time they were truly distraught and crushed was when your cheap ass denied them health insurance coverage
    oh, and trying to cheat your drivers out of their wages was a nice touch too
    and this just in asshole... no one "promoted" you into your choice of vocabulary, lack of sensitivity or sloppiness...
    you made you own choices, bkitch
    now shut the fuck up and go the fuck away

    Papa John (Schnatter) now claiming he was “pushed” to use n-word
    By Carl Stier | New York Post — 9 hours ago

    Embattled pizza chain Papa John’s on Friday moved to erase the memory of founder John Schnatter — literally.

    The chain, with 5,212 locations, said it would remove the 56-year-old executive’s likeness from its logo, promotional materials and other marketing efforts, days after he drew heat for using the N-word during an inter-company conference call.

    In addition, Major League Baseball has discontinued its Papa Slam promotion with the Louisville, Ky.-based company, and at least 12 MLB teams — including the Yankees and Mets by Friday— dropped local sponsorships. Also on Friday, the University of Louisville said it would remove Schnatter’s name from its football stadium.

    The 34-year-old pizza chain plans to hire an independent expert to audit all the company’s processes, policies and systems related to diversity and inclusion, Chief Executive Steve Ritchie said in a statement. Ritchie stressed that the chain, with 120,000 employees and franchise “team members,” is more than just Schnatter.

    Meanwhile, on Friday afternoon, Schnatter, in an interview on WHAS, a Louisville radio station, said he was pressured to use the N-word during the conference call.

    “The agency was promoting that vocabulary … They pushed me. And it upset me,” he told host Terry Meiners. It’s caused a lot of grief for my community, for my university,” Schnatter noted. “My employees are distraught, they’re crushed, and it’s all because I was sloppy and I wasn’t as sensitive. It’s the same mistake I made on the NFL comments.”

    The executive caught flak in January when he said Papa John’s, a longtime NFL sponsor, saw its sales get dinged because of the league’s players’ national anthem kneeling protest.

    Those comments led to him stepping down as CEO — and the NFL cutting ties to the chain.​

    Pushed to use the N word. That's rich.

    As he was building his multi multi million dollar mansion with its own golf course, he complained about a 14 cent increase in pizza cost for healthcare...and then threatened to reduce hours for his workers to get underneath the healthcare threshold.

    Did someone force him to say that?

    When he blamed the NFL for the player kneeling thing which he claimed hurt his sales, did someone force him to say that?

    First mistake was making yourself the face of the franchise and chief advertising figure....then you should face the consequences of being that narcissistic.

    Second was not owning up to your big mouth. Arrogance is pretty hard to hide when you are a narcissist.

    Finally, that god awful plastic surgery you got makes it even harder to stomach. For an "honest" pizza guy, looking like a 70 year old Hollywood starlet isn't exactly the right look.

    You made bank with a Dr appt pizza chain. You should have just left quietly with your hundreds of millions and preserve at least some resemblance of dignity.

    Haven't seen it, but having the guts to show hypocrisy without shouting out loud was genius in Borat.

    Look forward to seeing this one.

    you know theres few things that piss me off more than a "friend" sizing me up w dollar signs
    when the whole multi level marketing (amway pyramid) shit started suddenly everyone was a stock broker/advisor lol
    i had a work out buddy who was a general and during a workout he started in w an obvious pitch but kept saying he was inviting me to dinner
    i warned him not to have a sales pitch and that it would change our relationship if he did that to me
    no no no just come over for dinner and we'll talk about stuff...
    walked in and about 25 other captive "friends" were uncomfortably seated about w 3 obvious salesmen getting ready to command the room
    i was polite and listened for about 15 minutes of this spiel and then just stood up and walked out
    my "buddy" caught me at the door w a "what about dinner?" and i just said "im not that hungry" and didn't even look at him
    it definitely had and adverse affect on our friendship
    like you said, just hit me up for the money and i'll say yes or no
    i don't need all the other salesman shit wtf thats what i'm good at so you insulted me

    No surprise probably but I was suckered into joining Amway at 16. They get you with a lot of wish fulfillment fantasy shit. It is horrible how they prey on immigrants and the less than educated. But mostly they prey on the sad and lonely.
    They want outgoing people with lots of friends and family of course, but they know those well adjusted types are few and far between. They actively look for losers or would be losers.
    The predators are looking for more predators to join them and help predate on the sheep.
    Slick fast talking bullshitters do well. Specially once you understand that its all a scam and you have to play the numbers.
    I could not afford the kit to start off with.
    And the 'super nice guy' that was trying to get me in said that if I pawned my guitar and amp to come up with half the money that he would loan me the rest.
    I had just got my first electric guitar and while it was a knock off gibson it still felt awesome.
    I was too young to join so they had me lie on the application and say I was 18.
    I refused to bring in any family member or friend from the start.
    The guy didn't care. He wanted me to give the sales pitch.
    The dude was Philipino and his english was not perfect but he had a shitton of flips on his downline. So he would take me to their shows where I would be the secret weapon that went up in my perfect english and gave a Tony Robbins like version of his canned sales speech.
    He would pay for my tickets to all their big events and basically pay for everything. Food, lodging, product. I never lost a dime out of my own money because I was getting paid 200 bucks for every show I put on.
    The director dude would bring in the people and I would close them.
    It is unequivocally the best way to meet women who want to get down to business.
