47. Why would you not order from there again?
How do you know the kid on the phone was not getting minimum wage himself? I had a similar thing happen to me tonight, a customer at the carry-out remarked about the beer prices going up and the cashier said it was the raise in the Ohio minimum wage that went into effect Jan. 1 and if the Federal minimum wage is raised it would be worse yet. That lady is not the owner or manager she actually gets the minimum wage. I said aren't you happy you got a wage increase and she said her hours were cut and she makes less now. I have been for the increase but I am not really sure if it has the intended benefit if the employers cut employees or hours. I know a manager at a local coffee shop and she doesn't make much more than the minimum wage and she said she had to cut 2 employees since they didn't feel they could raise their prices and not lose business.
