the 12 buck sale price was on the front door of the store, and while waiting on the complaint line it was repeated 20 times or so, every minute, sale price on the web site too. the store says they get complaints daily since the franchise doesnt honor any sales price from on line orders normal price about 16 bucks. I didnt want the free pizza, I demand they honor their sales price, and will contact the media. perhaps papa johns charges the franchise for on line orders. so they dont honor the price..... sounds like a dirty franchisee if you ask The onyl solution is the violent overthrow of the US government |

Further told him he should not come / go to work when he is that sick. I told employees that worked for me a number of times; "if your are sick don't come to work." You can make others ill. In my city (Las Vegas), those working in the food hospitality service have to have a card issued by the county.

The way I look at it I may have saved some lives. I'm with you Bob. We should not tolerate Tyranny. From government all the way down to a pizza franchise. Did the pizza place employees have on hair nets and gloves? If they were slovenly, bring the big guns out and break 'em. If we can save the life of just one tortoise.... or a snail darter...

I called the number the manager gave me and was offered a coupon for a free pizza. But this was from the regional franchise district manager. I declined and called corporate. Told them I wanted to speak to someone from corporate. They had the same district manager call me back He denies everything. But claimed since thjey have 139 stores they are corporate. I called corporate back and since they track all sales suggested they check what price their customers are paying for online items on sale. I havent heard anything back yet, but think the franchise is running a scam of some sort. Papa John's is letting franchises opt out of advertised promotions. Nothing illegal about that. Many Subway stores charge more than $5 for a $5 footlong too. Some franchisers require their franchisees to honor promotions, i.e. Burger King. From the PJ website with regard to the $12 special: "Offer and Prices will vary in Alaska, Hawaii and Canada. Offer good for a limited time at participating Papa John's restaurants" I think it's probably dumb for a national franchise to do that, but as you say, nothing illegal or even unusual about it. I recall seeing many TV ads for example for fast food that say "at participating locations". And I think there offer of a free pizza when he complained was reasonable too. Many restaurants, not just fast food one, don't even have the sense to do that. You complain about the food or something, and they could give you a free desert, something, on a $100 check and they rather have you leave ****ed off, by giving you nothing at all. I'm also still curious about what price they were shown online? If they were told the price was $12 for the particular location they were going to and it took the order at $12, then I agree they have a totally valid beef. 12 bucks online price when ordered, 12 buck price on front door banner.... oh you ordered on line that means your paying full price..... thats pure wrong!!! If your local TV station has an XX On Your Side program, give them a call and see if they'll investigate it. It used to be a newspaper you could call but newspapers appear to have become passe. Get Papa Johns some negative publicity that gets their attention. Heck, get a bunch of people to Email The White House website about it. ^_^ TDD Heck, get a bunch of people to Email The White House website about it. They will laugh and ignore it...unless you say it involves a chicken topping. |

I get on their ASS when I see such things....you may do that at home, but not in a public place. yeah had that happen at a big stores deli, the workers nose was running bad and she was coughing into tissues held in her gloved hand, all covered with snot. the deli workers looked at me like I was insane when I complained, they didnt get it. So I complained to the stores manager and their coplaint phone number too... It was just so gross but I havent seen it happen again! |

Ah, the smell of solvents does a lung good. I'm surprised the Teachers Union hasn't brought this up to get them disability. Yes, the mimeo used blue forms that had to be hand typed. On an electric type writer. We had only black ink which was spread inside the drum, with a brush on a retractable handle. The machine was hand cranked. Dad rigged a device to add a slipsheet, so the ink would not go onto the back of the next sheet. Dad gave it away to a friend, who ran an after school program, and needed it more than we did. I had a glance at some google images, but not able to find a similar model. I remember cranking it when I was an elementary schooler. We generated tickets to my friend David's spook show, I still have some of the tickets. Wish I had a photo of the mimeo. It was always just there, and I took it for granted. Now the mimeograph is gone, Dad is dead, and all I have are some memories. Not to be confused with blue ditto, which used methanol as solvent. My high school used blue ditto, extensively. -- ..

Around here the Health dept requires a notice for organizations giving chicken dinners and the like. Have a mini course in food handling. They even brought thermometers along to check the temp to see if it was cooked properly. Now they have a course that at least one person has to be certified in. Of course, with commercial establishments (along all lines) the management sets the standards so ya got to watch out for the pimply faced kid. Here, an inspection report must be posted in prominent view near the entry (A through C?). What it odd, they need ~47 demerits before the county shuts the place down. With 40 or so they can stay open. Sneaky *******s try to swap off the report required to be posted. If caught, they get shut down completely - no more license. Then they come back under a different license. Pay attention.... This county has them posted on the web. I did a Goggle search on one of my former coworkers and his name came up. I asked him about it and claimed it was a cousin... Can't have enough cousins named Jethro. |

Incidently mimeo machines are still made today, they are called risograph machines, they automate making applying and removing the masters.... very low cost per copy these days I repair laminating machines that apply plastic to paper, a good example are menus are often laminated..... |

Papa Johns deceptive advertising.......
Well s a update I am supremely unimpressed with papa johns, since no one from corporate has called me back. If I dont get a call soon I will send a registered letter to the president of papa johns, return receipt required.
the first failure was deceptive advertising and ripping people off, the second failure was attemting to pass off a franchise employee as a corporate one, the last failure no return call means they really dont care. I will take this issue to the media for some negative attention.. at this point I would love to see papa johns sales crash in the area.... |

But the store charged them 16 bucks since the local franchise does not honor sale prices on anything ordered online. Me I would of walked out. But they paid for the pizza and brought it home. The assistant store manager says they get constant complaints but its the franchises decision. I called the number the manager gave me and was offered a coupon for a free pizza. But this was from the regional franchise district manager. I declined and called corporate. Told them I wanted to speak to someone from corporate. They had the same district manager call me back He denies everything. But claimed since thjey have 139 stores they are corporate. I called corporate back and since they track all sales suggested they check what price their customers are paying for online items on sale. I havent heard anything back yet, but think the franchise is running a scam of some sort. Has anyone else run into this? By the way there was near no bacon on the pizza, just some tiny crumbles... A recent taste test I saw on some Yahoo page ranked Papa Johns lower then Little Caesars. I agree with their ranking. Dominos was number one and Pizza Hut number two (or the reverse) The key question is why would anyone order from Papa Johns. The pizza is awful and the politics are worse. |
