You idiots have no idea what kind of profit margins they are making at Subway...you've got worthless bread a few slices of meat and a coke and a slave makin 7.50/hr (enough to raise a small dog) and charging ppl 8 bucks+ a pop and have lines out the door bc fatties think that triple meat with 1500 calories is gonna give em a six-pack.
If you have a line out the door for 6+ dollar subs you're paying 60 cents to make you're going to make a fukin killing beyond your initial investment (which for Subways is considered very minor in the restaurant industry considering the stores are only like 1000 sq ft) and overhead...yet the order of the day is to reward your employees for making you rich by offering slave wages with no benefits and bragging about your great gift to society in the form of job creation and how it will all come crashing down if they raise taxes or minimum wage or require employers to provide health insurance. Having the state subsidize your business by having all your employees on welfare is NOT an acceptable business model although profitable and NOT the kind of job creation anyone should be bragging about
The US is being turned into a welfare state as this is the only job creation going on...in fact I would consider it more of a job exchange as we exchange decent paying manufacturing jobs for slave wage paying service jobs.
But brag on Republicans...that 8/hour you offer just filled somebodys gas tank and fed their goldfish
