CHOP UP A loving TOMATO We can end this food chat derail/actually pretty clever troll thread here please - the ketchup was buried enough that it wasn't immediately obvious. The follow-up posts suggesting the paste was boiled were where it became really genuinely funny, and the amount of people hoodwinked have been just amazing.

As a fun bonus, in exchange for leaving at 1 PM:quote:To accomplish that, small talk during work hours is discouraged. Social media is banned. Phones are kept in backpacks. Company email accounts are checked just twice a day. Most meetings are scheduled to last no more than 15 minutes. Gosh I wonder why people don't seem that enthusiastic to be at work anymore. quote:But the shorter schedule freed marketing assistant Lucas da Costa to return to a long-shelved hobby of drawing portraits. It also allowed him to take a part-time job on weekends Now that I can leave my job at 1 PM, I can... go to my second job on the weekend?? Here's the full context and quote from that tweet, which is even better: quote:One model he reviewed was San Diego’s Tower Paddle Boards, which began a five-hour workday in 2015. Chief Executive Stephan Aarstol says that as an entrepreneur, he typically worked irregular hours but felt guilty leaving the office for the beach when others were still at their desks. “We lost the startup culture”, what a tragedy

I hope everyone will remember this dude leaving early to go to the beach while everyone else had to stay in the office the next time you read one of those "baww being an entrepreneur is so haaard, I had to work the weekend once when we were first getting going so it's fine if I force my employees to do it all the time" articles.

Had a guy I know from our kids playing together start up a franchise business. I assumed it meant we'd be seeing less of him and he'd be working his butt off to get his new business running. Nope. Turns out he's just the owner who paid for everything up front. His manager runs it, and the employees work it. He just makes sure the accounting is correct and collects the profits. He's gotten really in shape too, now that he's got the time to spend hours a day at the gym working out and playing ball.

You buy it, and other people working there makes you money. Maybe you check in once in a while to make sure nobody is blatantly stealing (the value of their labor back).

My dad, and I, had a business making custom furniture for rich people for a while. And we had to work our butts off because we were the only employees. I kinda figured everyone would want to be as involved in a business they owned.

MonsieurChoc posted:I have no idea what wonderbread is, is it what white bread is called in english? In the Bad Old Days, before the New Deal, when the government didn't mess in the affairs of capital with pesky regulations and such, you didn't know what was in your bread. Sawdust, sand, whatever. It was like the urban legends about what's in the bread at Subway only real. So in 1921 the Taggart baking company introduced Wonder Bread, which was made with flour that had been bleached pure white, so that you could see there were no adulterants. It was introduced to Canada in 1927 where it is still produced by Weston Bakeries.

food safety was more square deal, teddy roosevelt gave a few thousand dollars to Harvey Wiley, who double-dog-dared a bunch of guys who thought they had tough stomachs and got them to join the 'poison squad', where they just ate all sorts of additives and saw whether or not they'd die. wonderbread was all 'WWI proved everything should be science-based, this new synthetic, scientific, industrial production is the future' https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/the-life-and-death-of-wonder-bread-129979401/ quote:

Sure, if your business is your own labor or something you're actually interested in or good at or you're providing value in some real way rather than just extracting it from your employees. But yeah nobody buys a franchise just because they truly love the process of sandwich artistry or w/e. The only time I've seen the owner actually involved in running a franchise, it was some rich dude who basically used it as his pretend-to-be-useful hobby, like a little girl holding a tea party for dolls except instead of tea it was fast food and instead of dolls it was real people.

my franchisee is pretty invested but he owns like 12 so he doesnt really give a poo poo about any particular store. he gave me a cash bonus when we closed because of the power outage which was nice. dont get me wrong, I'm still underpaid. but hes not an absentee boss at least.

I'm always wary of people that treat their business as a 'hobby' since they'll be like a kid who gets a pony - quickly grow tired of the actual work that involves caring and supporting a living thing and neglect it while barring anyone else from making meaningful improvements in its existence.

Chomp8645 posted:Pretty sure this is explicitly the point of a franchise business. This depends on the franchise. Many franchises are actually agressive financial grifts on the buyers. The buyers have to pay anywhere from 75k-500k to get a license to run the brand and then have to incur all of the other expenses of a normal business on top of that and profit share with the franchisor. The franchisor might do nothing more than send you a branding guide and do some branding/marketing for you. Often times they're marketed to newly arrived immigrants or retirees who are told to finance them with ROBs plans which is the most hilarious transparently named financing scheme there is.

Owning a franchise is a scam. There is a reason the business doesn't own your shop and it's because it's more profitable to squeeze you for dollars and claim ignorance when the only way to make money is stealing from employees. If the store was actually worth money why the gently caress would they let you in on it?
