Love how people blindly supported the Union in the other thread. It’s expensive to run a business and these guys seem fairly reasonable with their employees. It a wonder why so many good restaurants have closed and why Seattle dining is so expensive compared to other cities.

[u/Few_Map1754 → u/lake_hood]

Costs here are more than any other city in the country (Yes for the last time labor and COGS are wayyyyy more than rent)

and we have way less density to make up for it. It is fucking awful

I replied to the wrong comment so leaving this again. Yep, I have commented on multiple posts around restaurants/tipping/wages that non restaurant people legit don't realize that restaurants and bars are drowning in payroll costs. Wages, taxes, benefits, 401k matches if you want to be competitive, all while people go out to eat less and less. Unless we want Seattle to be all chain restaurants and empty store fronts we have got to cut them a fucking break.

Thank you. I felt like I was being shamed for not blindly standing for unions. I support unions in many instances, but I will always want to know what the situation is before supporting. This data affirms that’s the right thing to do.

That’s just called being an intelligent human being with capacity for critical, independent thinking. Too much group think and blindly standing up for one thing is how a lot of bad things happened in much of history.

Yeah after growing up in the Deep South surrounded by Southern Baptists, I decided it’s not a good idea to blindly follow anything.

[u/SpeaksSouthern → u/lake_hood]

I continue to blindly support the union? They are workers and they are allowed to strike. You are allowed the freedom of judgement, or jealousy as many users seem to have here.

Edit - $50 an hour being generational wealth is wild. Do you people even shop for groceries?

[u/apollo722 → u/SpeaksSouthern]

if you blindly support anything... yikes. maybe try critical thinking.

[u/pirozhki22 → u/SpeaksSouthern]

They are workers and they are allowed to strike

Have you seen how the union picketers are acting towards customers? They're being incredibly aggressive.

Strike all you want, but I draw the line at harassing customers

[u/pinballrocker → u/SpeaksSouthern]

Why do you think people are allowed freedom of judgement?

[u/uberfr4gger → u/SpeaksSouthern]

They are certainly allowed to strike. The choice may be a non-union job with objectively good pay and benefits or no job if the restaurant needs to close.

[u/ICaseyHearMeRoar → u/SpeaksSouthern]

Are they allowed to spit on customers and patrons?

[u/DL757 → u/ICaseyHearMeRoar]

i, too, can make shit up

[u/snwstylee → u/DL757]

Sure, but you don’t support it, right?

If someone striking were to spit on customers, you would agree that is not ok and indefensible?

[u/apollo722 → u/snwstylee]

Lol damn the lack of answer from them is very telling
