And by the way, we're talking about a family owned restaurant here, not a tech giant. The jobs she's offering are entry level jobs for young people which don't require skills and certainly not worth paying $25 an hour as you are suggesting.......

Well, let's solve this problem scientimifically:

Hypothesis 1: The problem is with the labor pool.
Prediction: All restaurants in the area go out of business.

Hypothesis 2: The problem is with Emma's management.
