I guess I had a different idea of the work franchise owners did than is true. I basically thought they owned the store and then just gave a cut to corporate. I think that it's different based on chain though. In N Out basically just has managers but then other chains, like McD's, have much more autonomy.
They're just shit capitalists who might be happier as proles. That doesn't make them not capitalists.
Again, they are petite bourgeoisie. "Capitalist" is not a precisely defined term.
