1. Aww, ****. I had Subway's for breakfast this morning. If I'd known, I wouldn't have gone.

And Subway's was on my list of "Blue" companies that donates to Democrats.

2. I'd rather they have higher wages and higher prices

When business drops off, maybe they'll considering increasing their quality.

5. That's my feeling on this.

We can't pretend as if having a higher minimum wage doesn't effect businesses.

A higher wage along with higher prices seems reasonable to me. There's a reason that stuff from China is so cheap. People tend to pay the increased price for domestic goods because of the increased quality and knowing that their dollars are staying in their own country. 

HEY!

****TARDS!

What good does it do a worker to have a higher wage if the prices he pays to have a decent living are higher too?

You ****ing idiots are one-trick ponies. All you do is pretend economics extends no further than management vs. employee. Never once do you bags of ass consider...

...wait for it...

...THE CUSTOMER!!!!

When you're acting all bitchy, whiny with your boss and refusing to do your job right...

...you're ****ing over the customer you're supposed to be serving.

When you demand higher salaraies and benefits for sitting on your asses all day...

...you drive-up prices for the customer.

When you drive up prices with artificially higher wages...

...the buying power of those wages is destroyed through higher consumer prices responding to arbitrary, artificial cost increases.

12. I'll just stopp eating there.

That was easy. I'll pay more for a better sandwich at a place that is not a chain. Like Salerno's in Burbank. I can brown bag it more other days.

So, you want the worker to go from $10.25/hour to ...zero.

I was going to ask the same thing, what good is a high minimum wage if the company loses so much that they have to lay people off?

Remember when Nanzy Pelosi pushed through a minimum wage hike in early 2007?

Youth unemployment immediately spiked up 2 points. Since then youth unemployment has reached it's highest rate since records have been kept. Oh and minorities hit hardest. Sorry 1+1=2 no matter how many times you say it is not.

You got that right because it is never that a communist concept is built upon faulty logic and always fails.  It is always some sinister 'they' that stop the failed concept, every time.

Yeah, like I'm gonna drive 3000 miles for a ****ing sandwich made by an illegal.

Oh, but if we're gonna go to the sandwich place card, you forgot Mickey's Deli in Hermosa Beach--and IIRC, the owner there is a conservative too.

Subway makes a deent sandwich for the price, but the Blue Wind  a few miles from where I work has better sandwiches for a few dollars more.  Quite frankly, both places stay busy.

All of you liberals can boycott Subway all day long.  That means no lines for me when I'm craving a Subway Melt.

Remember when it didn't include American Samoa due to the fact that a Tuna company that would have been affected was based in San Francisco?
