Is it time to drop the extra federal unemployment money?

[hog88]

I know some Pal's operators clear 300k+. And that's after paying corporate a huge chunk of change. And I'd say probably 70% of their employees make less than $15/ hr.

It should be a crime.

I know Pals is different than most places due to high volume and relatively low overhead, but its nuts.

What should be a crime?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

What should be a crime?

Why should the owner/operator be paid 300k and not pay a single person on their staff a liveable wage?

 

[VolStrom]

What should be a crime?

Apparently making $300k+ while other people only make $15/hr. Welcome to socialism.

He probably typed that out on his phone which was made in nation which has no min wage laws, to which their gov lends us money to pay for to people that make min wage here.

Umm because they own it and have people willing to accept the pay? When they can’t get employees the pay will go up.

Owner/Operator (I assume) has more risk. More risk = more reward.
Do you decline raises so others can make more?.

Why should the owner/operator be paid 300k and not pay a single person on their staff a liveable wage?

Because the operator is taking all of the risk and the employee is not, while simultaneously being in a position that affords them no leverage to demand the extra.

 

[VolStrom]

Notice how the rhetoric went from <$15/hr for 70% of their employees to not paying a single person a livable wage?

Why should the owner/operator be paid 300k and not pay a single person on their staff a liveable wage?

Because they own the damn restaurant and assume all the risk. Also what’s a liveable wage? Shouldn’t that depend on where the employee lives? $12-13 an hour in a lot of places is more than a “liveable wage.”

I always love when people tell other people what they should be doing with their money.

It’s never going to stop. Now it’s $15 an hour, in 10 years they’ll be screaming that everyone should be making $25 hour.

What an asinine belief

 

[hog88]

Everyone here that doesn’t own their own business raise your hand if you would work for free for a month or two to save the business in tough times?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Because they own the damn restaurant and assume a lot more risk than your average hourly employee.

Not really. Corporate is still heavily involved in everything and they can be fired or moved to a different location without any notice. They are basically just highly paid employees that sign checks.

Why should he have to?

It isn't a crime

 

[VolStrom]

Do you have free wifi and how many hours would I be required to actually do something?

I've done that.

Maybe we should not of run off our manufacturing base and blue collar jobs to other states and nations. Even now there is a shortage of workers willing to work in manufacturing that pays a living wage. Guess burgers are mfg now.

Look at the decline of Detroit. The auto mfg left and these teenager/retired jobs are all that is available.

The gov created the problem and now need the gov to demand wage controls.

We'll sign me up. In fact, you should get on the list for operators asap.

 

[hog88]

I've done that.

Wanna job?

 

[McDad]

Wanna job?

You cant afford me.

 

[hog88]

You cant afford me.

Free ice cream on Friday’s?

 

[Orangeburst]
