Comment on Remember when Target blamed theft for closing stores? It's all lies.
punkwalrus@lemmy.world 11 months agoYou’re probably right, however, you can also be not profitable because of shitty business decisions, ineffective management, embezzlement, and inventory waste. It could have been the two kitchens and various levies and taxes in that location. If they had lines, it also means they had a finite cap of serving customers per hour, and if cost or any other of the things I mentioned could still outweigh what they made per night.
The unionization could have been a scapegoat, when they secretly declared bankruptcy, sold the assets and name to another owner, and reformed in a second location. That happens in nightclubs a lot in popular districts.

What is with the zeal to step up and find some scenario you think might apply here? Is this some kind of tacit effort to excuse what they did?
You can read right in my comment that a union was forming and magically the most profitable location in our city closed under the public guise of not being profitable. And then opening up as soon as the wind blew over, right next door to the original?
I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that you’re not trolling and you’re just trying to have a lively discussion, but it couldn’t be more inappropriate for the situation.

There’s nothing wrong with looking at a situation with nuance and exploring different potential causes… I agree, your take is likely the correct one, but why shut down discussion entirely?

Frankly it’s just sea lioning. There’s no good faith discussion happening here just excuses to try to explain away heinous behavior by a corporation to undermine workers rights.
