I listened to a call in show on an Ontario radio station this morning where, obviously, this is a larger talking point than it is here. One of the callers in did the rough math on staffing levels of a typical Tims and (assuming his numbers are relatively accurate) he had calculated a rough increase in annual overhead of about 60 K. Now there aren't many small businesses I am aware of that would take a 60 thousand dollar hit lightly, it should be recouped somewhere. In a franchise were you cannot change the pricing, where else is it supposed to come from? It has to come out of staffing.
It absolutely sickens me all the people who claim business owners should eat the cost, they make enough/don't deserve more/have no RIGHT to make more than their employees. It's disgusting.
