Lobsters No LONGER Wanted, Do NOT Apply!

Miami Seafood supplier got too greedy with the dollars pouring in, life was good. The market crashing with Wall Street hurt the restaurant business & the suppliers started chopping off body parts from employees.
The same old story in a different mode, but it all comes down to the top-enders making the most money and wanting to keep that income for themselves, no matter who they eliminate at the "bottom" to do so.
Corporations will stop paying the street-reps who have to pay for their own gas and supplies before walking in the door to see a customer. Corporations cut back on salaries and put those reps on commission only. Not a way to survive.
Some restaurants and clubs pay the chefs enough money to be called "mister" and get a special parking space near the door. Clubs and high-end hotels feel the need to hire "food managers" and again pay them a salary that would normally cover the wages of six workers.
There is no "spread of the wealth" in a country that is suffering from such economic losses. The managers and the bosses will never feel the pinch as do the workers with families to support on so-so wages.
Unless, the share goes down the line, the system will become more socialist in order to help the masses of starving people on the streets. Either voluntarily open up those pocket-books and wallets or wait till the crowd gets hot.
