Unless you have owned a business, you really have no idea. There are many business owners that don't make $15/hour themselves. Does that surprise you? Well, if you consider the hours that it takes that nobody sees (like the book keeping, cleaning, laundry, ordering, counting stock etc, etc) it is a huge amount of time. How about evenings and weekends - most small businesses are run by the true grit of the owner. When all else fails - its the owners job. Someone doesn't show up for work, now the owner does their work and the employees work....its got to get done somehow. After all, the other employees are depending on their job to survive. So the small business owner sucks it up and does what needs to be done. This once great nation was built on this premise.......greedy my foot!
