You hate to see it.

They vote blue or red next election?

How many more small businesses throw in the towel?

The same folks that voted for higher minimum wage are shocked that chain restaurants and big box stores are the ones who survive.

12 year old conservative kids have a better grasp of economics than these dunces.

This just confirms what we already knew…the REAL minimum wage is and will continue to be $0. Idiot leftist have to learn this the hard way because math and economics are difficult for low IQ individuals.

How much does Gavin pay the staff at the restaurant he's part owner of?

Oh that's right, his place is exempt from this new law! The law only applies to businesses with > 60 locations and that do not have table service (wait staff).

Still a bad look though.

They eagerly went to work believing the magic $20hr would appear. Had to be a joke since the $20hr did not appear.

They should have given each employee and the reporter a copy of Atlas Shrugged. I'm sure the owner could have figured it out but didn't want to risk losing a ton of money when they'll probably just raise the minimum wage next election.

Obviously, this owner just doesn't want to run this business while it loses money...

What about the employees? Doesn't he have an obligation to keep the business open while it loses money?

Why is the owner so greedy as to actually wanting to have positive cash flow?

And in typical liberal fashion they want to interview and blame the evil business owner instead of questioning the stupidity and effects of this law.

Blindsided? No notice? I don't even live in that state, and I saw this coming just like the rest of you with two functioning brain cells. You deserve what you vote for idiots.

While they don't have jobs right now, the bright side is that when they do find a new job, they will be able to have a 'living wage' where they can afford to buy more things.

Wait, why are eggs $4 per dozen now?

What, my Starbucks is $6 instead of $4.40?

My Whopper meal is $13 ?

Gas went up another $0.35 ?

How I am supposed to afford this, I can't even find a job...

/ libs in Cali....

Minimum wage here is 12.30 an hour.

Benny was out with friends to go bowling and they got dinner at Wendy's. After taxes, a baconator meal was almost 12 dollars.

He was not happy.

Bowling for a family is like $60 $75 an hour in Texas. I can't imagine what it would be with a $12 minimum wage!

My only problem with the owner is that he didn't use it as an opportunity to harp on their socialist politics that led to their being laid off.

I think the title of this thread is wrong.

Pretty sure these were the intended consequences by the regime.

Yes, that is from Bowlero. Haven't been there in years, but remembered it was crazy expensive.

We haven't been bowling in years, so I don't know the going rate.
