Quote:I had no idea that TMD really worked in fast food. The more you know. I agree with a lot of what you say; but many of these restaurant owners are specifically mentioning the $11 (and upcoming $15) minimum wages, as cause for their closures. The minimum wage wouldn't hurt that much if these were big fortune 500 companies who could afford all of the operating costs, but these are just small businesses and mom and pop chains who simply cannot afford it. They have the choice of either laying off people (and causing more unemployment), or just to close up shop altogether.

 

 

It's always the little guy that suffers the most.
Everytime I hear this line in regards to minimum wage or the businesses in general what I actually hear is "it's the little business owner that suffers the most but not the little guy working for him, screw that guy who cares."
