That depends on the political situation. Too often, they are treated exactly like middle schoolers and aren't allowed to take out a loan or save money from year to year.
That sort of thing isn't a labor cost problem, it's a management problem. It's like grocery stores that insist on being open on Thanksgiving so they don't miss out on that super profitable sale of one pack of brown'n'serve rolls.
You do realize that 33% each for wages, food, and profit are a rule of thumb, right? Unless you choose to up the quality of the food such that it also costs 50% more, your math is bogus.
What do you think it would do for traffic if your staff is homeless and stinking from not having a place to shower?
And I was pointing out that nobody was suggesting a settlement of any kind. KGIII was suggesting (mostly in jest) that HE PERSONALLY would give them $500 so they would go away and he wouldn't have to read about them any more.
But no, they wouldn't take such an offer. You can't bribe a disease.
They also live somewhere where rent/mortgage is a fraction of what it is here. Try asking one of them to bring you a cup of coffee to your office and see what it costs.
Of course, some of those increases are to cover food cost and rent increases and some are opportunistic now that there is an excuse based on the narrative of higher wages.
Even fast food shouldn't be hit that hard considering how many value meals they crank out in an 8 hour shift. It's only a 50% increase in labor costs, not 200%.
I'm wondering why not just revoke their charter at this point. They're out of cash, and long ago got rid of anyone needed to do any sort of economically productive work. There is zero chance the company will ever return to any economic activity that is even vaguely in the public interest.
At BEST, this is about a lawyer wanting to bill against a small pile of cash that should have been handed over to creditors by now anyway.
I have seen many that do not unlock from the inside when you pull the door handle. On the others, it will be "interesting" to reach the door handle from the upper back corner with a rod and overcome the mechanical disadvantage to operate it..
In any event, it would remain ever so much more likely to get to the battery and jump the car if there is a mechanical key based lock available on the outside.
The defendant has a right to a defense and typically hires a lawyer to help make sure the system works because human beings are fallible and sometimes corrupt. Since we don't always live up to the ideal, it is necessary.
It's not an inalienable right, that is true. However, it is the government's job top regulate the market to keep it healthy. Or where that can't happen, at least regulate it to resemble the outcome of a healthy market.
Since we cannot have 100 different broadband options to choose from, that leaves regulating the monopoly or duopoly providers that are available OR making the last mile a government owned utility and leasing connectivity to providers.
Sorry, no. The auto engineers really are just that thick. When you wedge a door, you still have to reach in with a metal hook and get at the lock button/knob, lever. Usually the lock button which depends on the battery to operate. If the mechanical locks are gone, good luck with that.
And yes, people have actually been trapped inside their car and had to smash the window to get out.

Yes, there are novelty restaurants doing that. Some have various anamatronic critters playing music as well.

Isn't paying someone to end legal proceedings pretty much the definition of a settlement?
Only if the offer comes from a party to the suit. But in general, settlements don't set precedent.
Since the discussion is about restaurant staff, we're not talking about jobs that can be offshored.
If you're talking about a coffee machine that can smile, engage in light pleasantries and bring the coffee to your table, it's gonna cost plenty.
If you mean it just makes coffee when someone puts in coffee beans and pushes a button, those already exist and are in use all over.
How so, are they changing the law about tips too?

Actually, I have had to pay employees before. Have you?
Even fast food shouldn't be hit that hard considering how many value meals they crank out in an 8 hour shift. It's only a 50% increase in labor costs, not 200%.
If a 3rd party gives them $500 to just go away, it sets no precedent of any kind.

Yes, each meal might have to cost an extra $0.30 to pay the waitstaff properly. Boo Hoo Hoo.
Perhaps poor quality stranded wire that sometimes breaks rather than bend?
As you lose more strands, conductivity goes down.

In economic terms, they're broken windows.
A junk yard is a bit of a different beast, but any significant sized metro rail system will also have their own junkyard.
Keep in mind, trucks for railroad cars are somewhat different since they are all unpowered and don't have regenerative braking.

The wedge depends on being able to get at a mechanical lever or knob to unlock the car. At the rate we're going, there won't be one.
It looks like sending him to prison the first time was counter-productive. What a surprise.
They might well lie in order to avoid what they came to see as an inevitable loss in court. This was never about the one phone.
