If a company can't afford to pay their employees a livable wage, they deserve to go under. Yeah it sucks for the workers but so does staying with a company that can't pay them. Stop licking boots.

"He did blame it on the minimum wage increase. Although, from my understanding, I think we were exempt from it because of the amount of locations that he personally owns. But, he did ultimately blame it on that increase," she said.

How about this for a new title: "Salty Restaurant owner doesn't like new law that doesn't apply to him, fires everyone anyway"

Gotta love the free market, right?

You're licking corporate boot to defend shitty business practices.

The law says it only applies to businesses that have over 60 locations nationwide. Back in real life and not “woah conservative bro I’m so traumatized” world, Fosters Freeze has 62 locations. So to avoid this law, they’d have to close 3 of them. Also not sure whether it applies to franchisees, and I’m sure you have absolutely no idea either.

No, I think they should figure out how to be profitable enough to pay their employees enough to live on in California. Not sure why that’s a difficult concept.
