Gee Eddie, you probably thought that you were "sticking it to the man".
You succeeded.
“You know, I voted for the measure as well, the minimum wage measure,” customer Edward Vallecillo said. “It’s not something that I thought would affect certain specific small businesses. I feel sad.”
liberal ignorance defined
“It’s the will of the [mob].”
Elections have consequences, moron!
Of course, who needs your steenkin' bookstore when we have AMZN?
Wiener knows a lot of merchants will pass the wage increases on to their customers, but not bookstores.
“I can’t increase the prices of my products because books, unlike many other things, have a price printed on them,”
sure they can increase the price. Just add it as an extra charge when the customer pays at the cash register.
Dang this is amusing. Soon SF will become to pricey for the poor and middle class to live. Too bad they can’t be forced to stay there since they voted for the increased cost of living.
Now who bars science from the people? That is right, liberal government does.
“...so it’s hard to believe that an initiative passed by voters to raise the minimum wage is driving a Mission District bookstore out of business.”
It’s only hard to believe for morons in SF who live in a made up world where consequences don’t exist.
Can’t they become a commune or a co-op or allow those employees who aren’t there for the money to work for free??
“It’s not something that I thought would affect certain specific small businesses.”
ALL OF THEM, idiot, it’s going to affect all of them.
Dang!
Seattle Tacoma next on the list to feel their own pain. Same minimum wage hike on the books.
Democracies fail when the people realize that they can vote themselves money.
“It’s an unexpected plot twist for loyal customers”
Unexpected!
“You know, I voted for the measure as well, the minimum wage measure,” customer Edward Vallecillo said. “It’s not something that I thought would affect certain specific small businesses. I feel sad.”
But, but, but we didnt think the consequences would apply to us!
Morons.
Reminds me of when Hillary sniffed that she “can’t be responsible for every undercapitalized business out there.”
Interesting that none of the people say anything about trying to reverse the minimum wage hike now that they’ve gotten a taste of the consequences.
If I had been the business owner I might have tried tacking on a minimum wage “tax” of some sort rather than just close the doors. Of course such a counterrevolutionary act might have earned the spite of their clientele, so maybe it was less awkward to just sort of commit hari kari.
Raising the minimum wage didn’t cause the bookstore to go out of business, it was global warming.
“I can’t increase the prices of my products because books, unlike many other things, have a price printed on them,”
This sounds like they were selling their books at list price. Most book stores discount their books.
Only hard to believe if you live in San Francisco. Anyplace else, it would be a no-brainer.
The left doesn’t care. In their “mind” businesses exploit their workers and deserve this.
There's the rub right there.
He didn't think. And still doesn't.
“It’s an unexpected plot twist for loyal customers”
Who are all gullible idiots.
Yeah, Eddie, it's always sad to realize you're a dumbazz, isn't it.
