Re: Stealing Food From Employers
If you can't pay a living wage to staff, then you should go broke. Pay people enough and you should be able to trust them. I just saw your reply to Jake, 3 months ago you thought differently, what changed your mind? I used to be a practice accountant I also know how restaurants/bars run.

Mack [/ QUOTE ] There is a reason that people get paid 6$ an hour. If you paid them 10$ an hour, they arent going to stop stealing. I now work in the bar/restaurant business, I matte touch screens/databases/registers with quickbooks/peachtree etc and set them up to streamline their operation, from basically the ground up. Ie, from over-pouring, to the way management deals with their money, I dont know all there is to know, since I just started, but I can already tell that theft is a always a major contributor to putting a place out of business (something that I didnt realize 3 months ago).

Mack [/ QUOTE ] An employer has no obligation to pay a living wage to anyone. But you're right, if they can't pay a wage someone is willing to work for, they won't have employees. If they have no employees, they have no business. If they're paying employees too much, yes they go broke. But as long as there is someone willing to work for $6/hour that's what the company should pay.

Re: Stealing Food From Employers
I am a former McDonalds manager...and let me start off with WOAH BABY. There was more theft there than most bank robberies. I am guilty. I never charged any friends, ever. I gave food to the employees all the time. The ones I caught stealing, I just told them to ask next time. All and all I probably took like 2 grand worth of food in 4 years.

[/ QUOTE ] Most of the businesses I've seen that have gone broke, failed becasue the owners took out too much money and left themselves under-capitalised. I guess if people will work for $6 then thats what they will get, personally I wouldn't expect them to be the cream of the crop or particularly honest though. Mack
