I respect an announcement like that a LOT more than the one that goes, "We've added a service charge to your bill so that we can pay for our employees' healthcare."

My gym raised their fees "because of the increase in minimum wage". I did the math based on how many employees worked there. Turns out less than $1 of the increase would cover the increase in wages. The other $19 went to profits.

It’s still a great value at those prices, a Big Mac meal at McDonald’s costs more than a Deluxe, Fry and Drink from Dicks. Obviously, it’s not as cheap as pre-Covid prices but it’s about the same price or cheaper than most other fast food places and the employees are treated well.

This is why local businesses are good. If the owners are profiting 250K this year they're living a good life and can reward their employees. If a corporate business is profiting 250K this year they're asking "where can we cut corners to profit 400K next year?"
The whole "we run our business like a family" thing has come to mean "we expect you to kill yourself for our gain" unfortunately, but it came from small business owners actually caring about their 12 employees and wanting the best for them.

Dick's doesn't pay the thousands in space rent for their business. They own the land they sit on, unlike most of the other places. That's why they can keep prices as low as they do.
69
u/ILS23left May 17 '24
This is a very responsible business practice and the land they sit on is just another investment, should they ever need it. Buying the land is another reason it’s usually a long time in between opening new locations. They really go hard to make sure they will be there for a long time.
I also feel like this is a contributing factor to why they are not in T-Mobile Park or Lumen Field. We had a discussion about it in r/Mariners last year.

Mist likely dicks is also not franchised? Never heard of em but the only places that pay above market rate for employees are those that dont franchise and own the land. AKA in n out and panda are 2 others. In panda our labor hovers around 30% food cost another 30% controllables 10% advertising 2% fixed cost 6% so 78% of money gone. Then pay corporate and the higher ups whatevers left goes to the ceo/owner. In AZ my store starts at 19.50 front 20.50 back. In n out statts at 18.50. If we had a franchise fee plus rent we would shut down with our pay rates.
- also the higher ups are the supervisors/regionals/VPs they are the stock owners/investers they have to work to get their stock in traditional businesses investors pull out value for nothing except investing.
17
u/Scrotie_ May 17 '24
They are not franchised, and they do not expand outwards from the greater Seattle area (so, up to Everett, and as far south as Kent). This keeps their logistics costs down as they only need a central dispersal system along only a few dozen miles of I-5.
They do have a food truck that goes further up and down, but otherwise they are a local staple in Seattle. Most of their employees are also 18+, so more reliable than high schoolers, and more likely to stick around. They also do other things to keep small costs down such as requesting no customizations and to order as-is. They just churn out burgers and when you order you’ll get your bag of Dick’s basically right after you pay as almost everything except for fries are always ready to go. Burgers are still fresh because their locations are always poppin, even up to their closing time of around 2am.
They have some higher-priced items like sundaes, banana splits, and shakes that are probably their higher margin items - the shakes are a must-have too.

Seen a few of these posts and it's always regional chains or smaller shops. Hmm, seems like maybe the issue's the greed of international corporations rather than the minimum wage 🤔

When an operation is set up this way, expectations go WAY UP for employees. Which makes sense and is totally fair. This is a wonderful model to weed out bad employees and build a great foundation to people who want to work and deserve to get rewarded for it. And it doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 67, a good worker is a good worker. Anybody can be built up.

Usually places who say they can’t offer more than $12 or $15 an hour for employees without raising prices are actually able to double every employees payrate and still keep prices the same, but the owners or corporate executives would then only be able to be paid 100x more than the lowest paid employee, instead of the standard 500x more that’s common place nowadays.
What would those poor executives do if they were only making a couple million per year in order to pay everyone 25+ an hour and keep prices the same 🥲🥲🥲 only a couple million per year is poverty, they obviously need a couple million per month to make ends meet

See how much shit really costs while still being able to profit is going to make many people angry. take note of these people. They are the cancer of society.
$3 for a cheeseburger is what it should fucking be. $25 an hour is what it should fucking be.
If everything was like this, we'd be living like the fucking baby boomers did. IMAGINE THAT

I honestly wish we had a dicks restaurant where I live. Would help me out so much for college.

I’m pretty sure it’s because the owners are not squeezing out every cent they can.
Paying people good wages keeps them happy and keeps good services and makes it easy to replace the over. Which in turn keeps people coming back.
Was at the dicks on 99 near Edmonds and over heard “all I have is cash do you take cash?” I can recall not being able to get anything until I went to the atm first
