Those 10,000 employees are on their knees thanking Obama, hondo style... that they've been freed from the chains of employment.
When Walmart closes down, Macy's and JCPenney are gonna suuurge. -

Adam Smith's invisible hand thinks that's fucking retarded.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with e-commerce destroying brick and mortar.sarktastic said:Those 10,000 employees are on their knees thanking Obama, hondo style... that they've been freed from the chains of employment.

It's not like Amazon is tooling up their own delivery fleet because UPS, FedEx and the USPS can't handle the surge in deliveries.
First Blockbuster, and now Walmart??? Obama has gone TOO FAR. -
It's actually all those regulations Obama has put on business. Clearly they only effect Walmart and not amazon.ThomasFremont said:

When a company is pressured into raising wages, then the result is layoffs.

So you place the blame on a private company failing and closing stores on the government? Nice free market principals at its finest.topdawgnc said:When a company is pressured into raising wages, then the result is layoffs.

Macy's just announce closing about 250 stores.sarktastic said:Those 10,000 employees are on their knees thanking Obama, hondo style... that they've been freed from the chains of employment.

Just look at the restaurant industry. No komo 4 link, but Tom Douglas was just talking about eliminating tips in all of his restaurants, and adding a "service fee" to your bill to make up the difference to meet the new $15 minimum wage.
In other words, their wages effectively stay the same. AND they are no longer given an incentive to provide exceptional service, since the tip is guaranteed.

It's been a while since I was in an econ class (not in Kane Hall) but layoffs aren't automatic.topdawgnc said:When a company is pressured into raising wages, then the result is layoffs.

But if the choice is raising prices (pissing off all the customers) or losing a few people (pissing off just those individuals) and running a leaner operation, most choose that latter.
Without customers, nobody has a job. -

But they're doing it. What's the other option? The majority of restaurants already fail. This won't make it any easier. -

When you head to McDonald's for a simple sausage egg mcmuffin, hash brown, and large OJ and realize you are spending close to $10 for that shit, then you know that the minimum wage has gotten out of control -
First the $15 minimum wage isn't in effect yet. Second it's dumb to do it in specific locations like Seattle or city of SeaTac.ThomasFremont said:

That being said. My business is in Montana. Minimum wage went up right after we bought it from $5.15 to $7.25. My conservative partner freaked out at first. Until he realized that meant more disposable income for our key demographic. And our sales went up more than additional costs.
I know, cool story bro.
Fact is, businesses that try to fuck their employees will find shitty employees. Businesses that try to fuck their customers will end up with no customers. Take care of your employees and business and you will have a successful business. -

You lying fuck Honda. You didn't own a bidness. You played monopoly at home by yourself, with an imaginary bidness and an imaginary "partner", ie den leader and scout master. Sodomy hurts, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. We here at hh are here for you. Not me, but your fellow den masters who suffered the same unfortunate poopsickles you did. Talk amongst yourselves, purpy gonna slip out the backdoor for a beer. Sorry about the reference .

Not entirely, but it has been scaling up to the full $15. And it's already causing a problem.2001400ex said:ThomasFremont said:

But the point, which as usual you have missed entirely, is that business owners will do whatever it takes to keep things running without cutting profits.
Tom Douglas might be a celebrity chef blowhard POS, but from a business perspective, he is playing it smart. If his worker bees don't like it, guess what, there's a million other hipster faggots that can take a food order, mix a drink, or bake a cake (shoulda been pie) in this town that will fall in line. Sounds like a great environment for workers.
What kills more restaurants I wonder; pissy liberal arts majors mad about wages, or customers that won't overpay for dinner?
Hmmmmm...
Businesses shouldn't fuck their employees or their customers. But if they have to choose between the two, employees can STFU or LEAVE.
