My doesn’t Mr. Schnatter, whose product we enjoy regularly in my house, direct his stores to add a line item for each pizza for the Obamacare premium, and make sure cusotmers know that they are paying directly for that?
Change all the prices online to reflect this.
“Medium Pizza...$7.99 ($8.13 with Obamacare costs)”? Make damn sure everyone knows howmuch they are paying. If all businesses did this, it would become very clear how much this plan costs everyone.
I like that idea. It’s similar to warning people of credit card processing fee costs that can bump up the price of a transaction.
That's what the phone and cable companies do when breaking down their bills, why not Papa Johns? Why not more prominently on gas pumps?
How much does it cost?
The tanning salon I used to use did something similar after that tax on indoor tanning passed a couple of years ago. The owners posted big signs on the counter and the front door informing customers that tanning prices were being increased "due to the Obama Administration's new tanning tax" or something very similar. They laid the blame squarely where it belonged.
The economy was already tough at that time and people were understandably starting to choose not to renew their tanning memberships, anyway...the Obama tax was just the final nail in the coffin of that poor business.

Years ago, I sold my goods at street fairs. When I presented the bill to the customer, I would always state the exact amount of tax as “the governments’ cut”.
People would smile or laugh, back then.
