    I mean it’s kind of a normal s***head boss thing, right? “That’s coming out of your paycheck” and s***

    Presumably it still works if you say it with your chest to some teenagers working their first job

    That "coming out of your paycheck" s*** is for TV,thats never been right. Missing money out of the register is literally,stolen money,so the manager needs to investigate who did it but the store is suppose to be able to replace that money if need be without asking employees. Having employees pay for uniforms,background checks etc. is just scummy s***,simple and plain

    That’s really not true

    If I owned 20 wing stops I only care about how the business is doing in terms of profit

    I’ll probably never really be at any of the locations

    and that is exactly how you get fined

    Mmm Hmm

    This makes no sense.
    Cuz I'm literally already saying it.

    I always look at s*** from both sides.

    Not my fault your tunnel visioned into having just one opinion

    then why say “devil’s advocate” at all

    its only use is to lighten the blow of your opinion because you can cop out & say “it’s just devil’s advocate i don’t really mean it” if people start to gang up on you over it

    Franchise owners are just as much at fault as corporate

    Both are looking for profits before good business but without doing as much of the work as possible, as you just said. And this is what happens when profits come before good business

    But you would usually have a general, area and district manager to keep up with the day to day activities of the locations

    Ross didn’t create wingstop so the policies and procedures are usually standard and pay varies from location

    But yea he’s gonna take the blame because he’s the top of the food chain

    ya rick ross runs the day to day operations and knew about the 15 year old who had to work ot.

    for nerds y’all niggas dumb

    If you don't know what your employee's working conditions are like you're just a s***ty business owner?? And you should get fined for that lol.

    Obviously he's not gonna know everything but to say "well he's just the boss" is an even more brain dead reaction

    Again Ross owned multiple wing stops

    Probably at least 20, no way he’s gonna know the day to day operations of all 20 locations

    It’s not enough time in the world

    “Real capitalism has never been tried”

    Oh hell naw. How you assume from that post that I somehow am pro-capitalism?

    If Ross wanted to be extremely hands on with wing stop he could but seems like he has a lot of other business ventures to dedicate that type of time

    The point of hiring managers is so you DO know what goes on because you can entrust that they good business, Not only so it decreases individual workload

    But that’s only if you worry about good business before profits. Obviously, this is a case where managers fudged laws to make good numbers that looked good to him, because that was must’ve all he was looking for

    Its not like these laws were being violated on a whim

    Ross (and corporate as a whole as usual) was looking for numbers before good business and this is the result of that

    Investigators found that Ross’ company illegally forced employees to pay for their own uniforms, training, and background checks, as well as cover cash register shortages, bringing the affected employee’s average wages below the federal minimum of $7.25. They also found that Boss Wings Enterprises allowed a 15-year-old employee to work past 10 p.m. on several occasions in violation of FLSA child labor work hours standards.

    Jokes aside, these people are the biggest scumbags. Taking advantage of workers because they know they have limited resources to fight back

    Fat f***

    That’s low as f***, I hate when people try to blame Capitalism but this is just disgusting

    Capitalism encourages these things because the system is functionally predicated upon it

    There’s no “blame,” just how it works

    As franchise owner, he has the ability and the very explicit fin responsibility to oversee it and make sure it is in line with laws

    Mmmmm if you own the franchise you should know damn well what goes on in there

    You’ve never worked in fast food or maybe had a job in general lmao

    Cause you should know things change everyday

    We always “behave” when inspectors or the bosses come
    But when it’s a rush or some s*** we can do questionable things

    This s*** is the managers faults not the f***ing owner lol

    The owners of anything rarely ever do s***…it’s not their job…they just got the bread and hire people to run the businesses for them

    NFL, NBA, restaurants, stores etc.

    If he just owned 1 and didn’t have a million other things on his plate sure, that’s logical

    But as some one who’s been a district manager for a franchise before that’s just not the case
