Just gotta squeeze "family-owned" in there somewhere 🙄
-
Are you questioning the wholesomeness of having his kids listed as the owners of several of his restaurants to reduce his tax liability?
-
Boater kulak uses family as rhetorical human shields against struggling employees who also have families, many such cases!
-
-
Under no pretext should a portion of the profit margin be surrendered; any attempt to compensate the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.
-
raising menu prices, reducing staff, and making the staff angry at the business will surely be a good long-term play for the business!
-
The business goes under because no one wants to eat there because it's overpriced and understaffed. This guy is going to blame the minimum wage increase.
- BIG GOVERNMENT drove me out of business and oh NOBODY WANTS TO WORK (15-25 hours a week with 100% availability)

A Fatburger operator told Business Insider how the pay hike was impacting his family-owned stores
- Fatburger. This name is the essence of burgerpunk. If you made it up as a joke it would be too over the top.
- Small business tyrant pissing and moaning over having to treat employees with a minimum of decency.
- Family-owned. We're supposed to think some poor old grandma is feeling really sad about this
- Stores. Plural. This guy owns several stores but somehow he's the victim who's being squeezed
This sentence is one of the most profoundly American things I have ever read.

Their burgers are pretty meh tbh
-
If you canot afford to pay your workers a decent wage, then it is irresponsible for you to own a business.
-
It means you don't have a viable business plan lol
If you can't cover any other cost of doing business, it's "aw shucks that's unfortunate, this is why most businesses go under, better luck next time." But if you can't cover payroll it's supposed to be different?
-
Yup, cut the woe is me shit. All your employees are hopefully just going to fo somewhere that didn't do all of that.
If you can't figure out how to run a business if you are actually required to pay your employees you shouldn't have a business.

Bussiness man: i deserve profit because i take risks!
Same dude: i should be completely sheltered from any consequences of the risks i take

I'm a small business owner, and I'm preparing for the new $20 minimum wage by smashing my dick with this hammer
-
by smashing my employees' dicks with this hammer
Followed shortly by
nobody wants to get their dicks smashed anymore

Dick Smashing hours were cut, gotta help pull weight around here

Kulaks gonna kulak.

Wild; I look at that cracker and all I hear in the back of my head is 'kill the boer'
-
Of course he uses a picture of himself in front of an in-ground pool
Gotta remind everyone what he stands to lose if he's forced to pay people what they actually earn

I love that when they were going to approve minimum wage increases, folks were whining that it would destroy all of those jobs.
Now that the increase is happening, instead of those jobs disappearing, suddenly there are SO MANY that it's giving every worker a chance to just switch jobs.
-
The absurd anti labor practice, the name of the restaurant, and picture of the boomer cracker owner complete with boomer shades makes this look like a parody.
-
“Small business tyrant” is my favorite phrase I’ve added to my lexicon from this place. It’s caught on with some of my friends too lmao
-
Preparing. It hasn’t even gone into effect yet. That’s how you know it’s bullshit and one didn’t cause the other
-
Raise wages by 25 percent, raise prices by 25 percent, you still win on the constant capital amortization. Fucking dum dum
-
If you had the money to buy a fast food franchise, you don't need to own a fast food franchise to get rich. You already are
-
i swear these guys all look the same. it's like reality is doing generative AI but for boomer petty bourgeoisie
maybe natural selection will give them all an 11th finger so they'll be easier to identify in the post-revolution exodus
-
These are all franchisees. These people have no real power other than controlling labor costs.
-
"I'm a small business owner!" no, deary, you're just the fall guy for a massive international firm. For a fraction of the profits, you get the privilege of holding all the risk of actually operation a restaurant.
-
-
The line will never stop going up even if I have to shoot myself in the foot! Take that!
-
So things would run smoother without your petty bourgeois ass in the way? Hmmm good to know thank you sir
-
The argument I used to believe when I was young but now never do is “if we pay fast food workers 15 an hour, the price of a burger will double in price too”
For reference, minimum wage hourly rate in my state is roughly half of 15 dollars (like it is almost everywhere) so the idea was that doubling minimum wage would double the cost of goods sold.
That doesn’t make any sense. Sure, the cost will rise, but by no means does it mean that the cost will double. There is no economic law or observed rule that conclusively states that an increase in minimum wage equates to a dollar per dollar cost per item. It’s just funny that I used to think that was true until I actually thought about it and realized how little sense it made
-
There's counties with higher minimum wages that also have McDonald's but their burgers are only slightly more expensive, like under a buck.
-
ahh but you see, this smol bean business owner only sells one borger per employee so the cost has to double
-
Cost won't rise because cost is determined by what people will pay for it rather than what it costs to produce. Any price rise is based on competition in the local area and whether it will decrease total customers.
-
-
If your business doesn't have the finances to pay a decent wage, maybe you should have run it better
-
Interesting...
Hey, how about we call up landlords and tell them to provide free rent? That should lower the costs of many restaurants to compensate, so that way consumer prices won't go up and maybe go down? Right? Right?
-
So you mean all those minimum wage workers about to make a pittance more aren't spending all their extra money on fast food and pizza???
I guess they need that money for housing costs and reasonable standards of living >:(
-
Ah yes, the complains about the decadence of the proles while taking three European vacations a year guy.
