Never once crossed his mind to take less from the top. American businesses should fail more often.
Something like 90% of restaraunts fail in 3 years or something like that. It's a famously competitive industry.
The unfortunate thing here is that small businesses fail often, there should be improved regulations to prevent predatory capitalism so small one offs can thrive. But I lose my sympathy for a franchisee or corporation that can't skim as much cream so the soulless bastards make life worse for the workers instead of taking a slightly smaller top cut.
