I know someone who's brother owns 7 franchises, that is his only business and it has made him a millionaire. Meanwhile he complains about having to pay overtime on stat holidays.

Lets no forget that franchise owners have to invest quite alot of money to get the business up and running at an incredible risk. Somehow they have to make that money back before you start talking about profits.
Ohhhh and it's not just about selling soda and coffee.
Profitable seems to be a dirty word and I have to wonder what you would consider fair before an employer has to cut back on staff and hours.
