Papa John Schnatter is a Douche Bag


I am reading a lot of hateful reviews toward Papa John's Pizza, and why not???

I'm hearing this a lot lately...As a person who once worked there a long time ago, I can tell you that I got a lot of complaints when I picked up the phone and took customer's orders. About 2/3 were complaints. A lot of those complaints were people who got: Cold pizza, the wrong pizza, or simply never got their pizza.

Their customer service is by far the worst, and it shows simply by their hole in the wall stores. If they appreciated their buyers, they would create a dine-in restaurant experience like Pizza Hut.

John Schnatter founded a restaurant with an arrogant, douche bag, advertisement approach towards their consumers; as if they have a lot to prove...Now when you look at the success of Pizza Hut, with their support of the Book It club, kids meals, and other family oriented vibes. So I guess they feel like they have a lot to make up for and why they should hate on Pizza Hut for their classy success.

Better ingredients? Why am I constantly reading reviews on how Papa Johns Pizza causes people to get sick? Maybe because their fastest growing pizza chains can't keep a pizza HOT by the time it is delivered to the customer's door. Which the delivery boy/girl wait in the car for you to pick it up yourself instead of knocking on your door and delivering it like their supposed to.

Schnatter's vision of customer service is simply making plane (but not cheap) bread sticks and slipping a single, shriveled up, pepperoncini (banana pepper) in every pizza box and a special garlic sauce that is 60% fat.

I guess as far as BETTER PIZZA is concerned...Through the eyes of the so proud founder and CEO. John Schnatter's words of "finding a better pizza" might merely interest you as far as a fast food type of feel; the feeling you get after you tear into a lukewarm and greasy sandwich that sat on the steel guard for over an hour.

~ENJOY!!

Has anybody ever had the privilege to have their pizza delivered during a thunderstorm, but having the driver sit in his/her car waiting for you to come out in the pouring rain, to pick up your pizza??? Well John Schnatter believes that delivery boys aren't supposed to deliver to your door anymore, you actually have to go out to their car and get it yourself...A friend of mine and I were thinking, "why?". I guess because they have a paranoia issue where they think it's safer for the driver not to hand over the pizza at the customer's doorstep. Personally, we think that it is more hostel to not do it because you already made the customer angry (and forfeiting your gratuity) by having them come out and fetch it themselves...Not good business. They also tack on a surcharge for online orders as well, since they feel you should pay more for convenience. His customer service seems to be getting better and better isn't it? ~Gold Star for you John, now pat yourself on the back like you always do.

Jared is Just Another Example

Okay, I guess the writers of this site assume that people are dumb when they read these...Otherwise you would add the fact that Jared is a marketing tool for Subway. In other words, he is a gimmick being used to persuade dump people (much like their readers) in to thinking Subway is the best solution to weight loss. Balderdash!!!

If you believe that, than Miley Cyrus is your favorite musical vocalist and song writer of ALL TIME.

Of course Jared is going to publicize that he eats Subway subs because if it wasn't for them, he wouldn't be where he is today. Not just because he just (got bored) of eating their product.

Has anybody recently looked at Jared? Well not too long ago he did an advertisement for the new breakfast menu Subway has, which is completely different from the calorie counting-fat burning subs that they claim to be the freshest, and best source for weight loss for lunch and dinner...In fact, Jared clearly put on a few pounds and his face is pretty much the same..."uglier than ever before". So you mean to tell me that a guy with the look of a computer geek can put into action on losing weight more so than a mocho stud who spends his school days picking on kids much like Jared? According to Subway I guess this is true. Also the fact that he spent his college savings spending money on Subway (which had to be expensive). I mean even when i worked there back in 2001 I know that I couldn't eat there every day.

People need to wake up and quit watching too much TV, otherwise you're going to see more pathetic excuses for talent as well as weak spokespersons which won't amount to a thing in 10 years. And clearly on how Jared looks, my theory is becoming a LAW.

(Added 7/30)
Can anybody really enjoy a Subway sub when you are "supposed to" go by what their calorie-counting, weight loss charts say? Well enjoy a nice dry, 6 inch or footlong with NO sauce, NO cheese, and mostly lettuce. The fine print clearly states (in small letters) that cheese and mayo alternate the calorie count and ARE NOT on the "6 grams of fat or less" menu. What a great way to contradict yourselves. ~Enjoy

Not to mention (I hate it when I think of something else which I should have put in my articles) that Subway is an extreme "cookie cutter business". A lot of competitors emphasize the fact that Subway gives you more bread (or bun) than any of the contents (especially meat) which the sub is named for. Most franchises (owned by our beloved tax free immigrants) even charge you extra for refills. Though I laugh more than I get angry on the whole set up...With high calorie chips and cookies which they ask you after you completed on putting together the perfect combination of bread and salad...$5 Footlongs was by far the best thing they ever came up with considering their generosity on what goes in the sub. Amen

Spring Photos

Am I good at taking Pictures, or can I take Pictures? These are the questions I ask myself, since modeling FOR ME, hasn’t been very marketable. Sometimes I blame the city I live in. So many people which the networking ratio is good but the results always seem to end up with a rain check. Either it’s the people in general, who have talent. There is so much talent in the city of Baltimore but yet they all have day jobs. I myself, fall into the latter, which never at the top, but always looking up. Sometimes, I used to stand in a staggering pace of discouragement. Other times, I try other things, meet new of the same faces and practically give all my eggs for their baskets, which shows that I always was a follower. Yet most of the time, I was the driver.

Now the question I ask myself, is doing my part even good enough anymore? I was ready for this industry since I was 18. Personally, it was a rough and narrow path in finding, myself, through the common manner of high self esteem. One challenge which I am happy to say I completed on my own was achieving this. The only evidence I tend to find once I learn something is my generosity taking control and the ambition to create in motion the action of exhortation.

The Exhorter

Words I say don’t speak out like wild fire

Because long ago I was a kid and I learned through life not to be a liar

Think what you say, and speak what you know

Call it wisdom once you have that knowledge, and let your efforts show

This evidence shows that I am clearly moving forward. I am the driver, the one holding the lens, instead of the one waiting for the snap. Though photographers love me…It’s been that way for years now. As hard it is for me to find an agent that will sign me a contract for print work, yet it is so easy to meet someone who wants to do a photo shoot, most the time…Free of charge. In my mind, the internet networking is diluted in which saturation has taken hold as the flow of moss; slow and agonizing, as I’m waiting for a reply, or a call back. So as a human being, stress eats at me incurably as cancer. Which I then retaliate with the thought of blaming our society as a whole, but never to an individual; though it takes a micro thought to create a macro sense, I can never blame one person.

F**K** All This (Explicit)

Fuckin’ all this

Mental Retardation

Fuckin’ Rednecks and Crypts

Blood Thugs and Politics

It’s all the same

Everyone doin’ the same thang

Fuckin’ all this

Fuck this…

People jealous

Never good fellas

Smokin’ minds

Drunkin’ Dads and beaten wives

Scarcity and sharp knives

Low class environment

A petty vibe

Fuckin’ all this

Road crimes, news excess

Celebrity incest

Rich get dumber

Their minds still a wonder

Marriage tossed

Lives change but grow moss

I stand still waiting for this?

Fuckin’ all this?

Drunk in a slang sorrow, wilted and withered to an underground heartbeat; each breath is scrutinized on every move we make. Scary is the thought, but should only scare the wicked. The ones trying to cut corners become a nuisance in society for their own personal gain, or simple minded pleasure. Like a Quarter Back, threading the needle. Throwing into coverage, in-between two defenders; he knew it but took the chance anyway…Game is over.

Doing the honest thing is making an honest living: Working an honest paying job, regardless of its occupation; taking care of your family, feeding your children, yet always wishing for something more or even better. Understanding these are the thoughts in my head which makes life worth living. Then understanding that we are really FREE, but knowing that our lives are what we create in an organized manner.

Am I good at taking pictures? I have recently bought my first SLR 35mm Camera which I plan to take pictures of landscapes. Since I always had an eye for photography, I just never actually believed I can capture a piece of life, which in the beholder, a piece of art. Maybe now, Baltimore can provide a difference for the one driving through a beautiful image.

Awaken In time

Forever frozen in time
A sick twisted and explicit mind
We think in irrational form
Which we never understand where we’re headed toward
Out spoken, for whatever cause
Broken in silence, later on
With no applause
We all are guilty,
To which our fortune is plenty,
But never lasts
To what is our existence?
For, in time,
Which shall pass, for us all
May we remain weary and answer our call
