The part that there is no actual evidence he said it. It was “reported” he made the comments at a trade meeting. The actual company press release did not include the statement.

I tend to go with what is on paper and not what Bob told Jane that Bill said.

I have witnessed many meeting minutes that were sanitized.

Why am I not surprised at this typical elitist response from a privileged white Regressive.

Timmy's a whackjob... and Red Robin doesn't have bussers.

Somebody should let Red Robin know. They plan on eliminating their nonexistent bussers. No wonder they're doing terrible business.

Tastes a lot better than a Big Mac

and I really enjoyed the pyramid of onion rings

My local McDonald's has gone from 12 employees and one manager on staff for mornings down to 6... three cooks and three counter and drive up personnel and one manager... they added two new positions but they are order kiosks...6 hard working college students lost their job due to ridiculous minimum wage hikes... Once again a bunch of idiot do gooders doing great harm to make themselves feel good...hey libs!!!!! stop trying to help people you don't know what the hell you are doing!!!!

and that's just it. minimum wage was never meant to put people above poverty - more to keep kids from getting screwed. now people just got lazy and they want low skill jobs to pay more so they don't have to go learn something.

Red Robin is eliminating bussers at 570 of its locations due to states' hikes in the minimum wage.

"Despite what many people, including policymakers, would argue, this is an altogether painfully predictable response to increased labor costs. It’s basic economics. The “first law of demand” teaches us that when the price of a good or service increases, people will tend to buy fewer units. Conversely, when the price of a good or service decreases, people will tend to buy more. This idea is usually presented no later than chapter 3 in any econ 101 textbook.

"Labor is no exception to this rule. If the cost of employing workers increases, we’d expect companies to hire fewer workers and even to let some go ...

"While we may not like the idea of someone trying to live on $5 or even $7 an hour, we can likely all agree that earning a small wage is better than earning nothing at all due to unemployment. It’s easy to vilify restaurants and other companies when they respond to higher costs with layoffs. But it’s important to place the blame where it belongs. In this case, it’s bad policy—not incompetence, not corporate greed—that’s causing people to lose their jobs."

Wonder why you never hear of executives getting pay cuts to bring expenses down. Always the little guy getting fucked.

That's what you get for being a little guy. Be something better, then you could fuck yourself.

No they don't...and their fries are the worst I ever tasted. I got a $25 gift certificate to eat there. 3 burgers with mystery toppings and Arby's buns.....ridiculous.

Fast food is open 24/7 . How do you have teens working that schedule ? What you see is a lot of older people or people as 2nd jobs.
