The best of both worlds, sort of

Gator's Dockside, a restaurant chain in Florida, has begun charging a one percent surcharge to cover the cost of Obamacare (despite the fact that the chain is currently paying nothing as the small business implementation has been delayed a year).  The company claims (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) that their additional tax is not political.

Now think about this:  not only has Gator's Dockside potentially pissed off Liberals with their misguided tax, they're potentially pissing off conservatives, too, who hate Obamacare and aren't about to pay a surcharge for its implementation.  Who the hell is going to be left to eat at their restaurants?

And here's the kicker:  somebody high up the corporate ladder got paid to come up with this brutally bad plan.  A half-wit would have suggested, oh, I don't know, just adding a virtually unnoticeable percent increase in their prices, but not this guy.  Nope he decided to give a big fuck you to Obamacare and managed to potentially decimate business at the same time.  What a coup!

Guess that's why I never rose too high on the corporate food chain:  not dumb enough.
