More Seattle restaurants close doors as $15 minimum wage approaches

Let's not derail this thread.
Must have had a sizeable down payment or it must have been a shyte hole
Do you know anything about business??
I'm sure the $28K is after taxes and expenses.. net.
They probably gross $350,000, then after paying staff, food, overhead, WCB, Taxes they walk home with $28K.
$28K in the USA goes a lot father than $28K in Canada.. land, food, electricity pretty much everything is significantly cheaper in the USA than Canada.. the reason you have lineups at the border of Canadians going south to shop.
Do you pay your employees at the orchard $50 or $60 per hour?... You know, a decent living wage?
You fat-cat fruit growers make me sick
Might be interesting for the restaurant owners to increase the price of the food and strongly advertise that there is no tipping on the bill.
The elimination of that tip will easily offset the overall cost to the customer, keep it in the affordability range and (theoretically) make all of the libtards happy about higher min wages in restaurants.
The only folks that will be taking it in the a s s are the wait staff that make far more in tips than they make in wages
The Fortune 500 companies are the ones that are spear-heading the technology to replace the staff and eliminate the issue all together.
Let's try not to derail this thread. Haven't you people heard? Some are getting angry!
That's one.
That's two.
You were told to give it a rest and move on. Best be getting on with that now.
And don't anyone else get side tracked with endless talk about derailing. I'll just move it anyway.
many people in here have had their head derailed by fauxnews. foxnews lobotomy is a real thing.
Cool but probably dryer than in Seattle where word has it more and more restaurants are closing their doors as a $15 minimum wage approaches. Can't remember where I heard about that though.
Yeah not all of us subscribe to being a pinko commie bedwetting sapsucking twit like you..

Yeah parents live outside Ottawa.. time for a visit to Onterible.
oh, my god....yeah he does actually, he knows a LOT about business
Really? And the mod has a problem with me?
As for the OP, maybe they should just do away with tips. Pay the workers a decent wage.
who the hell still subscribes to the deranged inane rambling propaganda of the 50s?
...or do like Texas.. minimum wage for a waitress is $2.13/hr. Live off your tips.

Too many seniors. It'll never work. You'd never find people to work for that wage. Comparing Texas to Seattle is silly
...and trailer parks aren't a dime a dozen in Seattle
I cannot comment on whether $15/h is a living wage in Seattle. But, the minimum wage in Canada in 1965 was $1.25/h. The purchasing power of $1.25 then was just shy of $10.00 in today's economy. So, in Seattle, it is not inconceivable that $15.00/h is a justifiable lower limit.
