Chick-fil-A restaurant in CA will pay employees $17 an hour

[OnePercenter]

He started paying $17.00/hr TODAY. The fire storm for livable wages for the middle class has started.

And as I said, that does ZERO to prove that it is a viable business model.

And if the best you can hope for is a $17 an hour fast food job, you are not middle class, and you will never be middle class.

A Chick franchise is over one million. Why would you think this guy doesn't have a viable business plan?

Your saying that $36k per year is NOT middle class?

Not in California it isn't.

It is a living wage

a living wage is a made up concept, like an assault weapon.

How much money does it take to pay your nut?

You're stuck on stupid. One store is going to try. Big difference.

When your top position ever had is fry cook (assistant) everyone may appear wealthy.

When you have nothing intelligent to write, you go into attack mode. That's very ignorant of you.

No, when the person I am replying to turns out to be a cheap dime store hack, I go into ridicule mode.

I think that you believe corporate profits are more important than a living wage for American workers. That makes you a commie.

So now the pretend millionaire / businesses owner / child

Doesn't know the difference between capitalism and socialist/ communism?


What kind of flake are you?

You believe that not paying a living wage is good?

I believe that forcing a company to pay more to a person than the value of their added labor is stupid, idiotic and counter-productive.

The value of my employees added labor is 200M. Are you stating that each employee should be making $909k/yr?

It's the publicity numb nuts! The story has gone world wide. This guy has has received millions in advertising by spending peanuts comparable. He's also let the proverbial cat out of the bag. Fast food CAN pay a living wage.

Sure, if you produce a superior product, charge higher prices, and demand better from your employees.

This Little Piggy Went to Market

If you can't, you have no right to be in business. But incompetents can make money by cheating their workers; that's why many are still in business despite the Free Market preachers pretending they can't make it.

How many highly successful businesses have you built and operate, charging the lowest prices and paying the highest wages? .

We Have Eminent Domain on the Economy; the Loud Ruling Class Must Be Shouted Down and Overruled

Henry Ford did it. We should allow only people like that to own businesses. Unfortunately, he later let his heir run the business; that is a recipe for disaster and we must forbid it.

The market does a pretty good job of weeding out poor performing businesses. No need to let unelected bureaucrats meddle.

Status Is Static

So we should let unelected Big Business bureaucrats meddle instead? A "free market" means that whoever dominates a market is free to do anything he wants to strengthen his grip on it.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

he also ignores that most of these chains run on the Franchise model, and the Franchisee's operate on far smaller margins than the parent companies do.

But like a good little socialist, he ignores the people who deserve the profits for the risk they take, and instead want's the government to dictate how they make a living.

He also seems to think that a business owner opens a store and sits back, watching the money roll in. He apparently cannot conceive of the reality that a new business owner will often not even take a salary for a long time until he generates enough revenue to pay himself. During that time, the employees have to be paid regularly, and can end up making more than he does.

Smart business owners:

1) Have sufficient capital. (access to at least five years operating capital)
2) know who to hire. (which can be farmed out)
3) Never, ever, ever hire relatives.

NO business owner makes less than his/her employees.

You are absolutely full of bullshit. Few new enterprises have five years of operating capital, or access to it. Most are deep into debt even after mortgaging their homes and borrowing from friends and relatives. Most will operate in the red for the first couple of years.

Chewed and Spat Out by Those Who Bit Off More Than They Could Chew

So his employees have to pay for a get-rich-quick boss's impatience and overreaching? Why do you make it sound like we should be sympathetic towards such GreedHead zombies?

Without that "greed", there wouldn't be any jobs at all.

Wall Street Sucks

Likewise, some familiar would tell us that without vampires, we wouldn't have any blood.

New Age Sewage

Not on the side of those who made Western culture self-annihilate. That decadent clique of privileged snobs has no right to its power and influence.

There's a continuum. It doesn't have to be the extremes.

You're selfish if you don't pay them at least 110% of their added value.
