They're fighting for big government...business...wait, what's the issue?  Who are they saving with this?

Dan Newberry was involved.  I'd imagine a bunch.

I know Dan.  He's a nice guy but damn.

Got even better today....  and I bet there are even people here still stupid enough to ask why we can't draw any new world class companies to our state....

Google for one has probably the largest solar installations on the planet.  Just imagine what their management would say when they see this kind of Sh$t...

Cities need an increase.

It's simply more expense in the city. None of my employees that don't work for tips work for less than $8.00 and were a sub shop.

Give 'em a raise....they are worth it!!  And if one or two isn't worth more, then why do you still have them around?  Get rid of them.

The surcharge sounds like it only applies if your solar panels are connected back to the grid, which almost no-one does.

I love giving raises, and better yet, promotions. I've got a great staff.

Good!!  I am proud of you!  So, now.... GIVE some!!   $8 an hour??   One of the grandkids started at Braums for more than that!!  You don't want Braums to show you up now, do you??  And that was last summer...

We have manager spots open left and right. Work hard, move up, get paid. I started at $7.25/hour half way through my MBA as a driver.

Making more than that now, I wager.


My first 'minimum wage job' was at $0.60 per hour.  I was in tall cotton when I got up to $1.90 a couple years later!!

You likely have lots of "manager" spots open due to the retail gambit of giving workers a title of manager to avoid paying them overtime.

Minimum wage 7.25 an hour x40 hours = $15k per year.

I don't know what a new manager at a sub shop makes, let's say it's $30k a year, I doubt it's that much, but that's a nice round number. So getting promoted to "manager" and doubling your pay sounds great, until you are expected to work 65 hours a week with no over time and they own you. Worse yet? Please note that  the hourly wage for 30k a year for a worker that gets OT is $7.47 per hour.  22 cents more.

No, it's because we are growing so fast in a market with low unemployment. All of our current spots are filled, we're hiring for our two new stores. The most my managers work in a week is 53 hours. You're doing math on the very, very low end (no one at my store makes that low of pay) and with completely ignorance to the fact that 25% of the store profit goes back to the pockets of the managers on top of the salary. Literally no one has issues with their pay at my store. If someone was making $8.00 as a sandwich maker they can just run a few deliveries (60-70% are within walking distance). It happened today. A guy popped off of making sandwiches, ran a few deliveries and made $15 in tips on top of his hourly rate. He worked a three hour shift. That's $13/hour he just made.

Did he walk on those deliveries?  If not - as in drove his car - then he had a net loss for the day.
