Re: Deli Closes Due to Lack of Decent Help
I own a small to medium sized business and no one wants to work.

I drive to clients during the day and the traffic is unbelievable. Was NOT like this 5 - 7 years ago!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45925645


No fucking shit bro! Self employed here too and I have to drive a lot from client to client. Every asshole and their brother is out driving around during the day now....7 days a week. Does nobody have a job anymore??? Where the fuck are they getting the money for cars & gas, cell phones and weed???

And you are right, NOBODY wants to work anymore. Everyone wants the maximum amount of money for the absolute LEAST amount of effort. Fucking Liberals have ruined this country.

A minimum wage job is nothing but the lowest entry-level position there is. What you get from it is work experience and spending money or supplemental income, but not a living wage.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69762354



Majority of minimum wage jobs and around that figure 30 years ago was held by high school kids.

Not so today if you look around.

We are a "Service Economy" today thanks to lobbyists that sold us out to China.

For Minimum Wage, I would have to work 3 jobs to make ends meet.

I would move to the forest and live like a hermit before I would do that.

Re: Deli Closes Due to Lack of Decent Help
No one has ever been able to afford an apartment and a car on a minimum wage salary. The Baby Boomers could not afford those things either when they were being paid $1.25 an hour in the 60's or $3.35 an hour in the 80's.

A minimum wage job is nothing but the lowest entry-level position there is. What you get from it is work experience and spending money or supplemental income, but not a living wage.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69762354



you have no idea what the real situation is in the US with the boomers.

they believe they were prosperous because they 'worked hard', in reality they were extremely lazy, flagrant, irresponsible people. their wealth came from borrowing on america's future tax base, debasing our labor market(removing labor rights and illegal aliens), and setting up trade deals with dictatorships in china and elsewhere.

the worst part about the boomers is they actually believe this tactic will work forever. theyre so clueless and retarded they are scarcely aware of where the money they enjoyed came from. there is only so many times you can pump up the economy before it just collapses into a wilted blob.

they often talk about 'working your way up' but you if you look at the numbers, they tell a totally different story. the average boomer could support a family on ONE SALARY, with no HIGHER EDUCATION, two cars, 10 year mortgage on a suburban house. That sort of lifestyle is considered to be only for the very wealthy today.

Re: Deli Closes Due to Lack of Decent Help
I know exactly where they're coming from.
There's an abundance of cell phone addicted people who claim they really need a job and really want a job.
Problem is they don't want to actually have to show up on time and actually stay all 8 hours.
The time they do spend on the job is usually spent in the bathroom,playing on their phone,or both.
There is not a shortage of jobs that I can see.
Most applicants are a joke.

Re: Deli Closes Due to Lack of Decent Help
Dang, I liked that deli. I live in Woony and I completely understand how it's so hard to find reliable employees. The reason the deli's in Smithfield and Cumberland are working out is because those are more affluent towns than the city of Woony, just look at the median household income of those towns and compare it to Woony and you'll see my city is poor as shit while having some of the highest property taxes in Rhode Island. The schools in Cumberland and Smithfield are better by a huge margin, Woony schools are some of the worst. I read in the newspaper earlier this year that among minorities the dropout rate is close to 80%. There are no jobs here either, the walmart moved to North Smithfield, the Diamondhill strip with Walnut Hill Bowl is pretty much abandoned and CVS is building their new facility in Mass, fucking Raimundo did NOTHING to convince CVS to stay/expand in Woony. Luckily I took advantage of the situation and bought a house cheap in 1 of the only areas of town that's actually nice. It's not just Woony though, my state is screwed in so many ways. EB (electric boat)has many job openings they can't fill because people either fail drug screening, don't have transportation or lack basic skills like math. Shit my company in Mass has been having a hard time finding competent workers who show up on time and have basic math skills. Many people I know, especially in Woony, want me to run for mayor or even governor when Gina Raidumbo's first term ends but I honestly dont't care anymore. Even if I were to win the race for mayor or Govnernor it would take a miracle to reverse the damage done by Governor Gump and Raidumbo. It's a shit sandwich I tell ya.

Re: Deli Closes Due to Lack of Decent Help
I own a medium sized company in wisconsin. This has been a problem now for 5 years. Even at $15.00 an hour starting you can't find workers that are willing to stay longer than a few weeks. The welfare benefits are now the equivalent of working full time at $14-$15 per hour. There simply isn't an incentive for people to work anymore.

My company has always promoted from within and we have many employees in management and supervisory positions that started at minimum wage. They are earning a very good annual salary now, better than 90% of current college grads by a long shot.

I just initiated a plan to automate as many starting positions as possible because we simply can't grow the business without reliable help. Soon there won't be any opportunity for the few that want to work hard and be rewarded for their efforts. They can thank their lazy disrespectful neighbors!!!!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51705609


The incentive to work would be $30 per hour. $15 is fucking chump change nowadays.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69786312


you get what you earn. I don't think too many new workers get thirty dollars an hour.

In fact, many experienced ones don't, either.

you think simply because you declared yourself a 'business owner' that your inability to make ends meet is somehow everyone elses problem? ITS DUE TO YOUR OWN INCOMPETENCE AND IDIOCY.

oh no! billy bobs donut store isn't making as much money as he had hoped! hire ILLEGAL ALIENS!

think about it america, how many dumb as shit delis, pizzarias, cafes do we have today? all staffed by illegal aliens? this is a economic growth?

You're pinning the blame on the wrong generation. The Baby Boomers got a raw deal as well. They'll also most likely never see all that money they spent their entire lives paying into social security either.

You want to blame any generation, you can blame mine. There's a reason we're called the "Lucky Few". We are the ones who raised the mid to second wave of Baby Boomers. We have a great work ethic, though. We are thrifty and avoid debt like the plague. But we are the ones who could buy a home and raise a family on one-income, not the Boomers. The Boomers were just small children or still yet to be born in the 50's when 20th century America was at its peak. It's been all downhill from there.

so youre saying that the deli that OP is talking about is located in Illegal Alien central?

not surprising.

this has been the pattern. some fat fuck dumb as shit boomer decides he deserves more than everyone else- so hires illegal aliens. then everyone starts to do it. pretty soon you've got loads of illegal aliens at all the jobs. now they are a political force. you start seeing mexican flags everywhere- they start to push for things like access to tax funded social services.

today mexicans can gain access to free housing, free medical, free food credit cards, and a lot more within HOURS of arriving in the US illegally.

I would imagine that a place like Providence might be seeing some very serious anti-illegal alien sentiment so they pay services to make these sorts of threads to convince people that WAAHHH NO AMERICANS WILL TAKE MY SHIT SLAVE JOBS!

exactly. so if someone is too dumb to make a profitable business, they shouldn't be running a business. why do we have all these useless businesses these days? the only 'innovation' is hiring some stupid mexican and having the taxpayer pay for his housing, medical, and kids.

hiring illegal aliens(which is the hidden message of this thread) is not a solution- it's the cause of major problems.
