IDK. go to a fast food joint today, and compare the # of emploeees to the same # from a couple of years ago.

You can get the same amount of work from 5 employees today as you could from 8 or 10 back then.

( 8 employees@ 7.00/ hr= 56.00/hr labor cost)

(5 employees@ 7.00= 35.00/hr labor cost.)

1/4 lb beef patty=.50 then

1/4 lb beef patty= 1.00 now

You retain profitability by making up the difference by reducing costs somewere.

hrs worked are down, and corperate wants them lower every month.

you have to cut somewere, or raise prices very near to a point where the customer is unwilling to pay.

Why I could never be a restaurant slaver.

5 employees are doing what 8 used to? No wonder the SEIU is gaining traction and it is our own fault.
