The Owner said: “I was appalled!” he says. “My jaw dropped. Eighty-thousand a year! I didn’t know that. I thought we were talking a small amount of money, something I could absorb.” How and the fuck are these liberal dumb asses even in business??? The first time I even heard breath of this suggestion, I had my accountant check to see what the impact would be to my business. This guy votes for the people who implemented the policy that will likely kill his business!! And did so without even checking it first. I stand by my mantra... liberals are emotion feeling dumb-asses who never let the facts get in their way. |

“Despite being a progressive living in San Francisco, I do believe in capitalism. I’d like to have the market solve this problem.” That applies not just to his plight, but to the question of the minimum wage: “We’re for a living wage, for a minimum wage, in principle. . . . But I think any law that doesn’t look at whether people can pay may not be the best way to go.” In other words, "Rules for thee but not for me!!" Yup. Passes the libtard snifftest. |

The Asian business model means the wife and kids work. I guess he can't apply that model. It's tough to make it as a small business in liberal cities. Regulations strangle them and make them uncompetitive with the bigger box stores. |

There's a lot of misinformation in that article. Minimum wage in SF is already like 11.50
 . In addition, the $15.00 minimum wage doesn't go into effect for four years from the date that the law was enacted.
If you can afford to give your employee a .75 raise, your business probably wasn't economically viable to begin with. |

Let's just make it $100 an hour. Then those poor folks won't have to be on welfare or any other kind of Govt support. Not to mention, that even if prices were to go up, say $50 for a Big Mac....who cares when you're getting $100 an hour, right?
BTW.....seniors on SS or on fixed retirement funds will not get a pay raise. Call it......it's so that the Dems win the next election. Aloha, Mark |

Hibbs is not inclined to circumvent the market: “Despite being a progressive living in San Francisco, I do believe in capitalism. I’d like to have the market solve this problem.” That applies not just to his plight, but to the question of the minimum wage: “We’re for a living wage, for a minimum wage, in principle. . . .

Which means he likely has several employees at each store. So he can drop two of them and problem solved. (unless you're the guy getting dropped) But he says "usually just one employee at each store at a time" Unless there are five people in each store at the weekends then either the figure or the single-employee statement is erroneous and being used to exaggerate the impact. |

Not even close to 80K increase. unless they are raising the minimum wage by at least $21 a hour more than the current pay. 5 x 7.50 * 40 * 52 = 78000 He has 5 employees. He's currently paying them 7.50, and the increase will be another $7.50 per hour. He pays for 40 hours per week. There are 52 hours in a year. This example means he'll pay an additional $78,000 per year under his current model, when the new wage rate is enacted. I may have dropped a few pennies here and there. Although all of us at Borderlands support the concept of a living wage in princip[le] and we believe that it’s possible that the new law will be good for San Francisco — Borderlands Books as it exists is not a financially viable business if subject to that minimum wage. Consequently we will be closing our doors no later than March 31st. San Francisco will become a ghost town. There will be a very few bistros open that are insanely expensive. |
