If he cuts those guys lose, then three possible scenarios present themselves........he was overstaffed, the quality of his service will suffer or he himself will pick up the slack. Clearly, you have never run a business. You make tradeoffs every day. You squeeze the other employees a little harder, you're a little more demanding. You pick up some slack yourself, you let the quality of the business suffer a little. But most likely, you reevaluate your product lines and see whether there are some marginally profitable items that can just go so that you can get by with fewer employees. It is done every day but an increase in MW will create additional pressure. I repeat my original position......any business that can't weather an increase in the minimum wage is operating marginally at best and will go under one way or another. And you, of course, are still wrong the second time you say it. I really thought that ANYONE should be able to understand the real-life example I provided but I gather you didn't get it.
