Dickhead levies "Obamacare surcharge", tells customers to reduce tips

Here's a guy who needs to be put out of business pronto.

Meet John Metz, a restaurant owner from West Palm Beach, Florida. Metz owns dozens of Denny's, Hurricane Grill & Wings, and Dairy Queen locations.

To protest the 2010 health care law, Metz is now adding a 5% "Obamacare surcharge" to customers' bills. And he's telling customers that they should offset it by reducing the tips that they pay to servers. Metz's reasoning for that is that the server "is the primary beneficiary of Obamacare."

Of course the server is supposed to benefit from Obamacare. That's how health care reform is supposed to work, John. It's not meant only for wealthy business owners who do all the hiring. It's meant for their workers too.

What kind of a boss encourages undertipping employees? If you're angry about the big, scary Obama being reelected, don't take it out on your workers.

Metz is also encouraging other restaurant owners to levy a similar surcharge.

Greed and being a sore loser are a bad combination.
