They say they’ll reopen after the remodel. In fact, in the email they sent, they encourage the fired workers to keep an eye out for the Grand Reopening. Maybe they can apply for their jobs back?

Of course, they will not. They’d rather collect Unemployment.

All y’all are misreading their intent. I think they’re all fine and dandy with the layoffs. They all got “laid off,” and not “fired for cause.” They are already collecting their Unemployment checks, no doubt.

They will reopen with part-time workers so they won’t have to pay OblahMaoCare healthcare costs nor $15.00/ hr. Keep squeezing the Goose and she gets skinny too.

Ya’ know, it all those liberals that are so POed at private business owners and the evil low wage they pay their workers would just open up their own businesses and pay the workers a “living wage” there would be no unemployment.

Oh, wait! That would be taking money out of the lib’s pockets not the government’s.

Love it. Chicago of all places, and it looks like “take your $15.00 bucks an hour, and stuff it. ESAD.”

Did you ever see back to the future II? The fast food place was completely automated with “Max Headroom” style Ronald Reagan and the Ayatola.

This is a late 1980’s movie that I think got it right.

All welfare and all minimum wage laws should be abolished. Let the damn market work.

No, hadn’t. I saw the first one though. My folks said that II and III weren’t worth watching.
