Rep Power: 22 | Re: Min. Wage Put it this way, if the minimum wage goes up to $10-$12 an hour, there'll be 3 less part time employees working for me. I'll work all the hours myself. All this increase would do is give people more money to spend on things other then tanning. Who's fooling who here? |

From a economic perspective, forcing anyone to raised their costs of doing business without reason, will have serious negative consequences; 1) It will cause inflation in the prices of goods and services sold by the business, 2) It will lead to higher unemployment, 3) it will cause some businesses to go out of business. It is the classic liberal answer to any problem; take money away from one group (business owners) and give it to another group (employees) | |

Raising prices cannot be our answer to all of our problems. As I have said before, we are pricing our non-necessary, luxury services above most peoples ability or desire to afford it right now. | |

The statement that it's ok because we're giving the money to our workers and not the Feds themselves is retarded. | |

When you send money to the Feds,dispite what they say you have no real idea where that money will go. A wage increase puts the money back into your community. More money spent locally. Raise prices? We all SHOULD. But it wont happen. In 1994 I was getting $60 a month for an ets 24 lamp bed. Today, Half that for twice the bed. Makes no sence to me. As far as cuts, I would shave an hour off of week nights and go 1/2 days on the week ends. | |

Rep Power: 18 | Re: Min. Wage Computers with 1/100 the memory, storage and processor speed use to be 5k. Now they are $400. Its about supply and demand. The lack of business sense out it utterly amazing. This is why our industry is in trouble! Raising the minimum wage would not eliminate the $9.99 concept. How can you come out here and talk about the $9.99 when you have ZERO knowledge of the strategy behind $9.99? We already pay $10+ per hour. This is the stuff that just makes my blood boil. Its more "know it all's" that know NOTHING and speak as if they are "in the know"! |

Rep Power: 18 | Re: Min. Wage $4,000 check for the tan tax? If thats for an entire quarter then that means you only did 40k in tanning services over 3 months. Not very impressive for a tanning salon expert such as yourself! |
