Restaurants refuse...

So tired of seeing people blame small business owners for low wages. Restaurant jobs are for teenagers and college kids to get started in the work force. When you dedicated nothing to your education, furthering your career, you're 45 and have no prospects to work.

When you own a business you get to see the costs associated with hiring people. They pay you, but what you don't see is the training costs, insurance, worker's compensation, taxes and overhead through the roof. Most business owners would LOVE to pay their workers more. More pay means happier employees, happier customers and increased retention. The fact is, bureaucrats and government policy make it insanely difficult for a small business to survive.
