Obama bankrupts "THE GAP"

edited June 2015 in Tug Tavern
Just a year ago, our president with Blue-lips praised THE GAP, on newscasts everywhere, for raising their minimum wage to $10/hr. A year later the gap just shut 175 stores (1/4 of its stores) and cut 250 headquarter gigs. Socialism takes another wounded veteran. The capital hill store is closing FreeThomas, where are you going to shop?

    It's not socialism if a business chooses to pay its employees more.

    Sorry your favorite store is going under though. Good luck finding another poor people place to buy shit made by child slave labor.
    it's the principle of Obama praising them dumbass

    Are you starting to see the problem tommy as it relates to business? The market sets wages, not the socialist ignoramus' on the gap bored. See how your beliefs in $15 /hr could really hurt business tommy? Now you got free pub and a free introductory lesson in economics. Luck you

    Jake from State Farm can only buy so many khakis.

    RIP, Gap. Maybe if you hadn't jumped on the grow-grow-grow share price merry go round, you'd have built out at a sustainable pace.

    Same shit happened to Best Buy.

    I didn't realize The Gap had 175 stores in Seattle.

    I never said I supported it. I said you were an idiot that doesn't understand what it even is.

    Looks like you need to learn the difference.

    Uh pretty clear here Tom. Glad you had to come and beg for clarification. See tommy, I realize Blue libubs didnt physically set the gaps wages. What he did do is show his true socialist values by praising the gap for raising their minimum wage to , roughly, the same rate as he and his party would like to see. Following?

    What this shows, or per MY FUCKING ANALOGY you didnt follow DIPSHIT, is just 'blanket wage increases, set outside Market forces, is potentially business suicide. Case-in-point. Its happening in Seattle, its relevant... starting to see squeak?

    I know FreeTom that a virginity is hard to buy back. I know it was too soon, the anus isnt quite prepared for that kind of a beatin, and it prolly still hurts to sit down. We still love ya here though ThomasAmongus with a sore bungus. We're a community here.

    Please show causality between higher wages and the Gap stores closing. Otherwise you are just another conservative blowhard like Rush.

    Do you think that bad business decisions, overbuilding, more competition, and terrible products have anything to do with it? Or do you think everything that goes bad is because of liberals and everything that goes well is because of conservatives?

    Really this is free market (i.e. conservative) principles at its best. Survival of the fittest.

    If your business can't afford to pay its employees a living wage then you have a shitty business model and deserve to go out of business.

    Any fucktard could pay his employees nothing and turn a profit. I don't know why people are so supportive of these business that can only survive by screwing their employees. Run your business better.

    Exactly. Every smart business owner knows that paying a little higher wages (in most businesses) attracts higher talent and less turnover. Which means what? Lower cost of training and better customer service. But keep paying people minimum wage and see how that works out for you.

    BTW, not one person in my small business makes minimum wage after the first 3 months and the vast majority make $15 plus an hour to start. You invest in us with time and we invest in you in raises.

    I'm sure it's because of the minimum wage and not because they're top heavy with middle management fucktards who bring no value to the company. I bet closing these stores will fix everything.

    Or it won't fix anything because the middle management fucktards are still there sucking upper management's dicks.
