feh, anybody that doesn't like it doesn't have to eat there...the thing that go me was in the original story the owners were on vacation and would address the issue when they returned. So this struggling poor restaurant and give up a great vacation but can’t afford to pay the help! Your 35cents goes to insure next years VAC!
I don’t know. You don’t go into business to pay the help. You go into business to earn a return on your investment. After a while, if operating costs, like the cost of labor, increase, it eats into your return on investment. Who cares if they can AFFORD to pay more, at some point it makes more sense to buy a treasury bond or something than to bust your butt for a meager return. That, IMHO, is not good for the economy.
Why did that get to you?
feh, anybody that doesn't like it doesn't have to eat there...Where did you get the idea a business is a philanthropic entity?
It is strictly a BUSINESS! It’s purpose is to
produce a product or service which has demand in the marketplace.
And the business must make a profit to survive and continue.
If the minimum wage is too low, no one will want to work there.
The market place will then require higher wages.
You are thinking like a bleeding heart liberal with no
sense of real world open market capitalism.
