1) Profit margin is likely 5-10% because 1) it's a food-service business, a type of business that is known for low profit-margins do to a long list of unavoidable expenses and high overhead cost and 2) they aren't being run as efficiently as possible (aka sloppily). Sure, it could be improved, but that's irrelevant to the context of the issue I'm raising.

Are you not reading what I've been telling you? And regarding irrelevancy, well, let's just say it's not irrelevant as soon as you decided to start bitching about the workers because you had a bad day.

Why'd you stop the bold with just "irrelevant?" The rest of it is important, that is, "irrelevant to the context of the issue I'm raising. "Unavoidable expenses" are "irrelevant" because it's about the damn company. What's with you and talking incessantly about these companies? I'm bitching about the workers. You're the one bitching about the companies! Remember? Now you're just confusing your position with mine. Angry

If you want to talk about the companies involved in these strikes, make your own damn thread.

By admission, you're bitching about the workers, which has a context associated with it - wages paid by a company.

For example, you bitch about a child crying, and I point out that the mother is beating the child. How dense would you have to be to continue to go on about the two being unrelated?

I think you're forgetting the context AGAIN. A child is helpless in the situation and can't defend himself. That's absolutely not the case for the workers who can choose to remove themselves from that environment. That's why I'll tell again for the millionth fucking time, leave the companies out of it!!!

You're saying I should leave the companies out of it because you think they're entitled?
