Been a while since I upset a bunch of people. Glad I hadn’t forgotten how.

@AutumnAcer I certainly haven’t noticed a shortage of coffee shops.

@AngelaNoDicks Until they don't. You've not noticed the empty shops in towns, villages and cities?

“A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop…”
So?
It’s not like there aren’t dozens of other coffee shops that will be happy to take your business and pay their staff.
This argument happens every time with minimum wage rises. It’s nonsense.
Peter McCormack 🏴☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪@PeterMcCormack
A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@gilgamesh310 I have worked in the hospitality industry for over 20 years, both for big businesses and really small ones. The profit margins are not as thin as you think.
English
@AngelaNoDicks restaurants operate on razor thin profit margins, which is why both the employers and employees don't take home much. Most small business owners don't make much. Managers of government jobs make more.

@AngelaNoDicks Bro said "silly employees rights" like people aren't struggling. Let him shut down. He's not fit to be in that business, saying these types of things.
English
@asianick85 Except that hasn’t happened any other time the minimum wage has gone up. Some have closed, but others have opened. Selection is better now than it’s ever been.
English
@AngelaNoDicks Hahaha. Well, all the others are in the same position. Some will close, some will stay, selection drops and the cost of coffee goes up.
English
@Hardymatt0 If that gets money into the pockets of working families and out of the pockets of hoarding millionaires then so be it.
English
@AngelaNoDicks Great. Then after that let's raise minimum wage to £25 an hour. Your same logic will apply. Once the dust settles we can hike it again to £50.
English
@Lee7dfzz Except that guy says he’s a millionaire, so finding the money shouldn’t be a problem for him. The problem is he is greedy and doesn’t give a toss about the needs and rights of workers. Get his boot out of your mouth.
English
@AngelaNoDicks Are you fucking thick? If I’m paying 5 employees £12.71 ph & have to increase to £15 I have to find an extra £29k+ a year (if you include NI and NEST etc based on 40hrs per week) does anyone think a coffee shop can magic up an extra £29k + a year without putting up prices?
English
@gilgamesh310 Except that wouldn’t happen. If businesses got more money it would go into the pockets of owners and shareholders. The only way businesses will pay employees properly is if they are forced to.
English
@AngelaNoDicks first place, as the employers would have more money to pay the employees with. A businessman has to hand over about half of what he earns to the government afterall. The less government involvement all round, the better I think.
English
@RiRi_LotusQueen According to him he’s a multimillionaire. From what I don’t know.
English
@AngelaNoDicks I wanna know how much that guy pays himself from his coffee shop....
English
@gilgamesh310 You can’t have it both ways. If you want people working and able to survive without benefits then you need to pay proper wages.
English
@gilgamesh310 People complain about those on benefits, but many of them are in work and benefits are topping up their wages so they are liveable. The government is subsidising poor wages.
English

@AngelaNoDicks Yeah, that's a silly reason to be against static wage increases.
The proper reason is that if you don't tie minimum wage to inflation everyone will just raise prices and now your new static wage is once again worthless.
English
The fact he used the phrase “silly employment rights” means I pretty much WANT his business to fail.
Nobody should have to work for such a complete melt.

This is NOT fucking good. It's beginning to spread. This is terrorizing/intimidation on neighborhoods, or desensitizing them.
This is not the way to go about things. They're just getting them and not being trained to use them. This is not protection @PhillyMayor
