My brother-in-law is retired and to keep busy he has been driving for Uber. It seems you just work when you want to by signing onto the system. Apparently he can tell you when the welfare cheques hit the banks. There's a huge spike in calls for people wanting to go to the liquor store. That obviously isn't inclusive of all on welfare but indicative of many. They have their priorities and they could likely live a better life style if they spent that money on other things like a nicer place to live or better groceries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02sled Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 According to Fail... this is all fake news and these business owners aren't feeling the impact of Wynnebag's minimum wage hike of 22.8% plus the increased cost of benefits, WSIB, CPP and EI. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/wage-hike-small-businesses-1.4471500 https://globalnews.ca/news/3943682/minimum-wage-hike-ontario-alberta/ https://globalnews.ca/news/3944598/60000-jobs-lost-minimum-wage-increase/ http://www.cbc.ca/news/thenational/the-impact-of-ontario-s-new-minimum-wage-1.4138892 Fail did a piss poor job of getting his memo to all these people. Maybe it should have gone out on proper Fail letterhead. That would make a difference. After all letterhead is important even in a small business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many he has had over the years but he is doing well in a very tough industry. He has managed to keep consistently growing each business, sell it, buy another grow it and sell it until he is where he is today. Long hours often 7 days a week.

Sorry 02, I know he is a friend of yours, but since he bought Rhinos the place has gone downhill fast. The old atmosphere is gone since the fire and the new reno is sterile and bland. All the good wait staff have left, and the prices have gone way up and the quality has plummeted. Much like the fish & Chip place he used to own in Cobourg. I used to frequent Rhinos every couple of weeks year round, but have not been there now for over a year.

That is/was a regular stop for me and many. Is Britts still there or is Rhino's the only one now, I forget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Kevin Flynn the Minister of Labour is parroting the bullying nonsense. Sounds like the usual snowflake reaction to anything these days. To listen to him & Seabiscuit, people run a business so they can be charitable to the employees. At one point in my career we had 'Turkey Day', we got paid straight time for the Saturday before Christmas even if we didn't work it. I never heard the origin of it but maybe it replaced giving employees a turkey many years ago. Well in 1 contract it was eliminated. I bet all of you can cite an example of a perq or benefit that your employer ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of hard to replace the atmosphere of an old building. As for the staff... small town they have to make a living and many had to leave since they couldn't wait for the rebuild. I think he said he had 46 people working there during the summer. The fire cost him big time financially.... you have to recover financially. The previous owners didn't have the same overhead since the place didn't have a mortgage. They also had upstairs apartment revenue which was lost when the fire happened. Gotta make a profit.
