That’s what real men/women /business owners do. She/He realizes that his employees make or break him. Like, well, in every other industry. This shouldn’t even be a story. But sadly it it. Every employer should kiss their employees butt to a degree.

As Jags said, this is a sign of a wise owner. Not only does he get some reputation for being a good person, but when the renovations are done he's still got knowledgeable, experienced staff ready to go with little to no need to hire and train newbs.

Knowledgeable/experienced staff? LOL. Love the owner and what he did here, but c'mon. I'm still looking for a McD's here in Jax where the staff can even get your order correct in under 10 minutes.

Would McDonald's pay for your employee transfer relocation fee?

Give you three guesses why I haven't eaten at a McD's in a decade.
I'd also be willing to wager that the ones you frequent are both paying minimal wage and not managed by someone who treats their employees as the franchise owner in the story above did. Both of those factors go a long way in shaping expected results.

I doubt they'd pay it twice
