Dick's has already proved that paying your workers a decent wage (Oh the socialist humanity!), and even tuition reimbursement, and hey, maybe, giving your employees some modicum of respect and a way to improve their station might actually be a long-lasting, viable business plan.

On the flip side, yeah, the restaurant industry is notoriously filled with flakes and high turnover, and it sucks for manager/owners to have to spend so much time filling out all the paperwork/paying etc. for people who show up twice and then disappear without a trace. This is why people w/ office jobs tend to have better benefits. They are at least reliable workers.

This is every racist cliche' about Asian restaurants come to fruition.

@9, this is typical Boomer mentality. (Not that Charles is a Boomer per se.) They think that their existence was the golden age pinnacle of America/Earth, and as they ride off into the sunset, well, those times are done. It's part and parcel w/ believing that you're the end-all, be-all of human existence. Things can't possibly get better because they are past prime.

The Baby Boomers aren't content to take the biggest piece of cake, they have to put barbed wire around the rest of it so following generations have nothing.

That being said, as they start to retire it will be interesting to see how it plays out as the Gen-Xers take over command of everything.
