I heard on the radio that someone sued Starbucks for not filling their coffees to the top. Some people have too much time on their hands.

I heard on the news that the restaurant chain Red Robin is getting rid of all their busboys in an effort to save money as an answer to the raising of the minimum wage. You didn't really think almost doubling the wage wouldn't have a bad effect on many people , did you ?

You didn't really think almost doubling the wage wouldn't have a bad effect on many people , did you ? True, increasing minimum wages reduces a company’s profits, and it is likely to try and compensate in some fashion. At the same time, executive compensation for Red Robin went from 4 million dollars in 2012 to 7,5 million dollars last year (according to Morningstar) and the company didn’t decide to fire all of its executives to save money. This shows that greed is the core engine of capitalism, and that we need workers to be defended (either by unions or by labour laws) against the worst tendencies of an industry that would see it as economically efficient not to pay them at all.

The report said that it would save the company 8 million this year. Remember, the minimum wage went up Jan 1st this year. Whatever profits they made last year they want to continue to make. It just hurts the little guy.

It just hurts the little guy. The little guy who has to work three jobs to make a living wage? Not that I was ever likely to eat at Red Robin, but this just one more reason to avoid it.

Not that I was ever likely to eat at Red Robin, but this just one more reason to avoid it. Because even in non-right to work states, employers give them just 19 hours a week, because unions guarantee certain benefits for those who work half-time (20 hours).

But shouldn't Red Robin have been able to afford to keep paying the busboys and maintain profit levels if they reinvested all that money they were saving from corporate tax cuts-that's the theory anyways isn't it? That these cuts would save jobs and raise wages of workers Or failing that, eliminate one pencil pushing executive and use his salary to pay all the busboys whose presence affects customer experience far more than someone in an office in corporate headquarters. But then looking at actual customer experience is the farthest thing from the minds of the folks in charge. -M

I'm going to be moving in a year or two because of the Pot Smoking is now officially legal in my State and my brother and I are in an agreement to get out of here when the time is right. I hope to have a new place by 2019.
