Reply #7: Well, I voted "NO" because I own a restaurant..

however, ALL of my employees are paid well above minimum wage and well above the prevailing wages for our area. Sure, I haven't seen a profit, or even a "break even" yet on the over sixty THOUSAND dollars in cold hard cash out of MY pocket that I've invested into it since opening 7 months ago, but I guess that's just how business goes. I could pay a lot less, however it would mean that I'd have to expect less from my employees.

Good employers pay employees well... corporatewhore companies are the ones who pay minimum wage and fight to keep it down.

Why would you want to hurt a small business man who's probably struggling just to make a buck and stay afloat? If you're gonna boycott, at least keep it to corporate businesses and not franchises and sole proprietors.

On edit: Ok, I see that it's been changed to "5 chains" now. Never mind
