JIMMY JOHN'S

By Julie Anderson

The founder of the Jimmy John's restaurant chain made a little delivery of his own Saturday in Columbus, Nebraska.

Jimmy John Liautaud flew to Nebraska to present a new Ford Escape to delivery driver Zach Hillmer, who last week responded to an errant call to a Columbus Jimmy John's store and gave an ailing resident and Army veteran a ride to a local hospital.

Hillmer said Liautaud called the store Friday morning and spoke with him over the phone. During the conversation, Liautaud asked him how his delivery vehicle was driving.

The 1991 Chevrolet Cavalier, in fact, is on loan from Hillmer's parents. Hillmer said he hit a deer with it recently and made repairs, but he's no auto mechanic. He couldn't recall the odometer reading, but estimated it at upwards of 160,000 miles.

1. Yeah

but he's still a right-wing asshole.

[AJT]

2. Yep

[Bradshaw3]

5. In more ways than one

I lived in Champaign where he has his headquarters. A total jerk. Treats his employees like crap, hunts African game like the dump boys, has their heads mounted at his house and every so often threatens to move his operations to some other state to try and get some money out of the government.

11. If he paid his employees a decent wage, this guy could afford his own vehicle.

This sack of feces won't even give his workers sick pay. Sorry. I'm not impressed that he gave one of them a new car. I'm sure he won't cover the taxes, license fees, and insurance on it, and neither will this guy's paltry paycheck.

12. Decals on the side. Free advertisement.

13. I used to eat there

Until I found out how awful they treat emplyeees and that their found is a right wing trophy hunting scumbag. Have not spent a dime there since. Shame since I loved their food.

14. Fuck Jimmy John

One good deed doesn’t make him any less of a piece of shit. Speaking of shit, if you’re craving a bout with diarrhea eat at Jimmy Johns.

15. Oh Brother! Just so that you know that JJ makes their employees sign non-compete contracts...

and they can not work in any restaurant business for two years after they leave.

16. He's still scum

Here's his play, buy a $25K for someone and spend $250K telling everyone about it so you can try to rehabilitate your racist image.
