They could but as business owner, they have the right to choose how to run their business and if they want to operate for the betterment of everyone or for their own benefit.
I agree with that, but their stubbornness is a one way street. The people they want working those jobs aren't going to do it anymore because they don't have to.
Because they are deriding their workers via Instagram post?
I believe the problem is that the Clemson student body is increasingly filled with rich kids. All of these places in town have found trouble hiring students that don’t need to work.
I don’t think the situation has anything to do with any political economic policies.

So am I, and it may blow your mind to hear that I knew that and was being sarcastic as fuuuuuuuuuck.
Minimum wage doesn't have to go up for that to happen.
Supply chain issues, inflation, interest rates from the fed being historically low gave lots of people extra buying power, etc.
The F&B industry is already quite saturated. Like anything, it'll adapt though. AI could be trained to take orders, the customer could put orders in on tablets. Someone said earlier in the thread but a minimum tip is not the worst idea; I get the work for your tips but there are a fork ton of cheap assholes out there that leave $0 or $1 on $50 (it should change from parties above 6 or whatever number to parties who spend over $X) if you're going to keep the tip system.The previous generation put a McDs, Starbucks, and every other chain restaurant on every corner. That's going to HIGHLY drive down the number of mom and pop shops that can survive.
Anyway, the rest of the developed world doesn't have an issue with the non-tip based system. It stemmed from greedy assholes who opened bars and restaurants basically saying the customers should pay my employees instead of me.
The whole tip-based system could be blown up and fix a lot of this.
But the post you quoted blamed it on minimum wage hikes. Sorry if I've got my wires crossed here.
Agree whole-heartedly on the tip system. It's stupid as hell.
I agree that putting out that statement is not correct. People don't want to work that job on that night for what they are offering.
Wow are you a politician? And if you are not I hope you cannot vote and reproduce.
You are so disconnected from reality it is scary. This country’s lack of work ethic, particularly in the trades, has been on a steep decline for over 15 years. It has nothing to do with remuneration. It has to do with a sense of entitlement. Please do stay away from Clemson!
And I agree with you that businesses are free to raise their prices all they want, but they can miss me with the blaming it on wages mishmash.
Hahaha jeezus harold christ on rubber crutches. Now I'm going to start coming over more.
It’s like the massive insurance rate increases. WTF? Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should ANY PREMIUM raise more than 10-15%/year if you didn’t make a claim.
It’s freakin theft, actual real theft from all of us who have done nothing to deserve it.
Basically we are allowing the entire insurance consortium to walk right into our homes and scoop up free money. Sure you can shop around but we are all taking the hit…… for other thefts.
Tell us you’ve never run/owned a business, without telling us you’ve never run/owned a business.
You’re the worst poster here consistently. Congrats
Word to your mother! It is theft and I've been using that specific word for several years now. Not only is it freakin real, actual theft, it's freakin LEGAL real, actual theft.
I'm wondering if I should bring Christianity's evil chokehold over American society into this...
You should simply change out of your pajamas before 5pm.
His mom makes him put the controller down log off and clean his room at least once a week. Give him a break
This. People don't understand many jobs are only worth so much, no matter who is doing it. If you are stocking shelves at CVS making $12, the job is worth $12 no matter if your a 16 year old or a 50 year old with a masters degree. Its still a $12 unskilled job.
I can tell you what happens, they take it to their grave and then it is given to Gen X.
I'm not out of touch. I own a small business and understand that no matter how qualified a person may be, certain unskilled jobs are only worth so much.
My (as many other’s) success has been driven and created by my drive to help my family benefit. Over two decades ago, I began my career at $11/hr, and I know I’m not alone.
Those sons/daughters deserve what their blood earned.
My children will benefit from my hard work.
You can’t reason with laziness waiting on someone else to give them something. Waste of time.
I think a lot of managers and general managers are starting to find out just how wrong this is. In fact, I know they are.
Soon enough the owners and executives will too.
Have you ever run a business or balanced a checkbook? Most small businesses (Esso probably) often run on very thin margins. If you pay waiters $20 an hour the burgers are going to be $30, no one buys them and the place closes and the workers are unemployed.
You simply do not understand. More and more people everyday are realizing they could work for someone like you, who won't pay them a living wage, or for themselves, on their time. It's a no brainer for anyone with a lick of sense.
You can blame it on society or younger generations all you want but you're pissin in the wind.
Only worth so much to you but maybe not a potential employee. There's more options for workers. Jobs that didn't exist 4-5 years ago have been created especially on the low end of the scale. Think about the number of people that may have waited tables but have now decided to make money from being a door dash delivery person or an uber driver. Think about the large increase in delivery drivers from 5 years ago. Jobs for unskilled labor are competing with those opportunities that may offer better pay than answering a phone for $15/hr.
or she will realize that $15 an hour is what you get with only a high school diploma. I hope she then works to better her education level and obtain a job that will pay her more.
Then good for them. If they can get a job that pays more then obviously they should take it.
If they are qualified. If not, I hope they put in the work to become qualified for higher paying jobs.
In the right city those 3rd party delivery drivers can make 6 figures a year if they know how to hustle. Bullshit hourly wages cannot compete with that.
100% Correct!
My wife has to pretty much beg to hire workers from anywhere $16-$19 per hour in her work.
So what are you bitching about? The entire point of this thread is that it isn't "today's society," it's that people can find better work for themselves than they used to be able to.
I've found that most business owners, especially small business owners, work their asses off and are entitled to good pay. If they didn't, then what is the incentive to work hard, start and run a business (and create jobs) and deal with all the long hours and stress?
