    I REALLY want to see the last few years of profit margins that these asshats are earning that are so vital to maintain that they are “forced” to pass the financial hit on to their workers (who are doing ALL the actual work). “If the minimum wage goes up, they either have to increase prices so that they can cover the increased expenses for labor, or they’re going to have to consolidate their labor and let people go,” Lederman told BI. Thanks Lederman, you tone deaf douchnozzle. Why can’t they earn slightly less profits so everyone can, I dunno, live their fucking lives?

      Why don’t you run a restaurant, yourself, and be as generous as you’re asking for? Why not be the change you want to see in the world?

        I would buy a Sonic franchise in a heartbeat. Unfortunately Sonic requires anyone buying in to have a net worth of at least 1 million dollars. Sadly I am just shy of meeting the mark. And yes, I would be the change if I could. I only need enough money. I don’t need ‘fuck you’ money.

          No disrespect intended, but I’m not going to believe that you’ve thought this through fully, until you’ve actually been there making that choice with your own business.

          Congrats on getting close to $1m though. That takes serious dedication. I hope you do get a chance to buy a Sonic at some point.
