The great thing about WA is that we didn't privatise our power grid yet unlike the rest of you idiots. So we don't run into all the horrible power supply issues like the rest of you idiots. Fake Edit: The joke is that the libs are currently trying to privatise our power grid.

QLD and WA are both going to elect One Nation MPs but not because we are bad states but because we are the brave heroes that dived in first in which our death spiral will warn the other states causing the vote percentage share for the Greens to go up. We are the states that feeds Victoria's Spirit bomb while Sydney fights Freiza.

Don't ever buy from Dominos again just fyi http://www.theage.com.au/interactive/2017/the-dominos-effect/ A six-month investigation by Fairfax Media into Domino’s and its franchisees has uncovered widespread underpayment of wages, the deliberate underpayment of penalties using a delivery scam and the illegal sale of sponsorships of migrants for as much as $150,000.

I deal with domino's franchises in my role so I know that this; quote:It said the average profitability of a franchisee ranges between $138,000 and $145,000 a year. Is patently false.

NTRabbit posted:Don't ever buy from Dominos again just fyi I worked for Dominos for almost 7 years so I'll explain why franchisees are hosed. All the stores I ever worked at were eventually sold to franchisees regardless of sales and profitability. I worked at the most profitable store in Brisbane at a point where we were hitting record sales. Stores get sold to people who have a maximum of 3 months of training. You have people who have no idea how to run a successive store in charge. You see a lot of experienced staff quit recently sold stores because no one likes working for incompetent managers. Making 100 pizzas in half an hour only to watch the boss lose control of the ovens because they can't cut fast enough is really disheartening. Inexperienced managers also tend to screw up stock orders and under/overstaff days which kills their margins for the entire week. So, the franchisee isn't making any money. The first thing they look at is labour. They cut staff hours until they realise that means they must either get good enough to do the work of 2 people or start working ridiculous hours. After that plan backfires they start rostering staff normally but look for ways to lower their pay. They lower wages to the minimum they can legally get away with and when that doesn’t work it’s time for the dodgy poo poo. The first store I worked at tried to make drivers wages come entirely out of deliveries. So, if there were few deliveries you weren't getting paid. It also meant that drivers had zero incentive work inside the store between deliveries. At this point, most experienced staff are gone because they can get higher pay, better hours and easier work at some other corporate store. So, you are left with a store incapable of remaining profitable. Franchisees misplace the blame on “unattainable” margins instead of inadequate training. 15-21k is pretty low. The margins are only unattainable because they have been convinced that they can run a store without the years of experience of their predecessors who could comfortably hit those margins. Eventually the failed store will be sold back to corporate or another franchisee. Corporate knows these problems exist and mostly ignore them. They know inexperienced managers can't run a store and that the result is staff getting hosed over. They set these people up for failure because it is more profitable to sell off stores than keep running profitable ones themselves. E: quote:Is patently false. I would imagine these numbers are from (or at least include) corporate stores. Also that range is far too small. The difference in profit between 20k and 40k per week stores is much larger. E2: I haven't worked for dominos for almost 5 years now so practices may have changed (probably got worse). Sparticle fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Feb 11, 2017 |

Radical idea. Government raises revenue, much like facebook seems to think the Police do, by fining the poo poo out of people. But rather than small petty fines for parking somewhere you shouldn't. The government places masses fines on things like 'chronically and systematically underpaying staff and somewhat criminally forcing staff members to do dodgey poo poo like give their pay back or selling places to foreign workers'. Not paltry fines. Huge fines. Make them pay back all the money to their staff, then all the dividends for the shareholders for that period of time, and the CEO was pay all of their money they were earning in that period of time as well. Plus any remaining profits. If doing something lovely means no one higher than a basic employee gets paid, CEO's will be encouraged not to be poo poo, shareholders will be encouraged not to support lovely ideas wittingly or unwittingly and managers will dread being poo poo because they'll be out on their arse. Hearing of how much of this crap goes on from the micro level (small bars) to huge million dollar companies, I feel like we'd quickly be back in surplus and then, fingers crossed, have few problems like these in the future.

You could do that, but it's a lot of work. Why not just cut conditions to reflect real rates of pay? Problem solved.

$15k break even minimum is pretty hilarious, no wonder Dominos was getting murdered in Victoria. You would have to be the most popular store in your area, or have no competition, to hit those numbers. No one is buying that poo poo when there's independents around.

Competition has always existed for Dominos it's just that no other company can poo poo out as many cheap, mediocre pizzas as dominos. One of the stores I worked at made 40k a week with 6 - 7 competitors in the same region. Most Australians are not going to be spending twice as much on pizzas that are only marginally better (Pizza Capers, Crust etc.) and the market for actual good independent pizza is non-existent outside of urban centers.

This is why pizza hut is the superior pizza.  They make up for the complete and utter shittiness of their pizzas by just dumping loads of sauce and toppings on for a fatty and salty mess and as a goon I'm contractually obligated to love it.

Odd. This isn't even remotely true in Victoria. You're likely to find 1 or 2 good independent pizza restaurants per regional town. Best state.
