Oh but they would if they could! I can see it now, a national restaurant chain that only does mixed zoning restaurants. Apartments are staff only and cheaper than market. But your boss is also your landlord. Now when workers “churn” you can have them evicted and taken to court for debt too!
Comment on Maybe those 20 seconds were because of the lack of getting raises?

“You were each TOTALLY going to get an extra $.67 a month, if not for fucking Darren over here who forgot to thank me for his employment this morning in the daily thank you ceremony. You guys don’t get it… you think this is easy? Anyways I’m also doubling all your rents.”
“Disregard that last part, forgot you weren’t my ungrateful tenants, because of course I’m also a landlord.”

And if you bring in workers from other countries, you can hold their work visas in the balance if they are found to ever be outside of either the restaurant or the employee housing!
And saddest of all, I worked at a restaurant where the owner actually did this… He was never directly held accountable for what amounted to indentured slavery essentially, but thankfully he was forced to sell eventually due to a backlog of unpaid labor disputes and sexual harassment lawsuits.

No fast food manager is also a landlord.
