Farley's co-owner Chris Hillyard appeared alongside Schaaf to say he supports the enactment of a higher minimum wage, despite the largest increase in costs in the six-year history of his business.
"We believe in paying our employees a fair wage," he said, but his business now needs to generate more income, which means higher prices in order to pay his workers the new wage.
"This industry operates on a razor-thin margin," Hillyard said, with payroll as the biggest expense.
oh boy...
“We believe in paying our employees a fair wage.”
Did he believe that before the law passed?
