Why should it remain that way?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because the surplus from this change is going to the owner and not the workers.

It's in NYC, I would not assume the owner is financially stable. Small businesses struggle because of two main costs, rent and labor

How is this my problem?

Nobody ask how my budget at home work when I negotiate my salary.

Financial viability of a shiti business is the "owners" problem.

They never include me when they accounting them profits tho ;)

I wonder why dear?

Well, it's your problem if they don't employ you and you need a job I suppose. Or if you just like having non-mega corps in your neighborhood

r if you just like having non-mega corps in your neighborhood

If you don't allow me to underpay workers, mega corps will ruin your neighborhoods, rheee

Depending on what you mean by underpay, possibly yeah it'll contribute. Don't look too much into the new CA restaurant worker minimum wage law.

Since we're discussing the default, I'd assume average NYC everything. If a restaurant can't afford to pay minimum wage for the area, then I wouldn't assume their business is a good use of space.
