Sort of. This time, it’s Denny’s — and they’ll be charging a 5% Obamacare Surcharge to cover the cost.

That’s how business works, folks. You voted for this. You pay for it.

Try to resonate some understanding, people:

The program mandates that only employees working more than 30 hours a week are covered under their employers health insurance plan, chains like Olive Garden and Red Lobster are already considering reduced worker hours. 

‘Obviously, I’d love to cover all our employees under that insurance,’ said Metz. 

‘But to pay $5,000 per employee would cost us $175,000 per restaurant and unfortunately, most of our restaurants don’t make $175,000 a year. I can’t afford it.’

So, cut people back to 29 hours a week or offset the expense to your customers. That’s the reality — and it’s not going to be paid with happy thoughts about rainbows and unicorns.
