Paying more? Nah, I am just going to ask God to send me some slaves.

    My cousin owns a burger place in my small podunk hometown and he's exactly like this too, although he's somehow also big into Any Rand. He's fired employees for speaking Spanish. He complains about paying anyone above minimum wage.

    One time he cornered a worker and tried to bully her into joining his weird evangelical church. She said she would, probably just to get her boss off her back, but apparently never showed up on Sunday so he fired her too. He keeps firing teenagers, who are the only people willing to work for him, in a town of less than 1000 people. He's literally run out of teenagers in the town to fire.

        I have literally never gone into a fast food place anywhere in this country without hearing Spanish spoken in the back

        Just annihilating his own pool of prospective employees

        If the kitchen only speaks plain midwestern english the food will just be okay. If they have any other mayo accent it's gonna suck, and if it's french I'm going to throw up.

        The people in my hometown are one of three things: evangelical snake handlers, klan members, or trying to leave asap. They either think my cousin is a good upstanding racist or they hate living there so much they leave as soon as they turn 18.

            Standard greasy frozen American slop you could get anywhere. He regularly gets complaints from the county health inspector. My cousin has a monopoly though because there are only three restaurants in the whole town and neither of the other two are burgers.

            this was basically my home town except imagine the cop is also a klansman and there's more meth

            also going out into the woods would get you killed because it was one of the few remaining impenetrable untouched forests in America and it's full of bears and bobcats and eagles

      I want to work there so I can get a four digit settlement via OSHA.
