This is a great innovation by Phillips, and it follows rule 8 from my best selling business book, “12 rules for business”.

Rule 8: The business is always right - never give customers a choice when you can dictate the terms to them instead.

Have you considered that the CEO is working 300 times harder than the worker you are comparing them to??

This guy makes a great point! My employees have been significantly more uppity since the unemployment rate has been down, but at least they don’t have a union, I’ve heard horror stories from some of the other business owners at the country club.

Hi, landlord here and I want to clear up any misconceptions. I don’t build any houses, I only buy them up and then rent them out at a profit.

I’ve noticed this trend at several of my businesses. It’s impossible to find good help, I even offer all sorts of fun perks like themed thursdays where everybody has to dress up to match whatever theme I pick and whoever does it best gets a Starbucks gift card. Whenever it’s somebody’s birthday that person brings in pizza for everybody to share.

I think the pandemic and government hand outs have made people extra lazy, even more than they were before.

With debt it’s unlikely you would pass the credit score check to work for me

What is a chapotraphouse and why are they talking about me? Is this a drug thing?

Well they’re not as valuable because they didn’t have to be dug out the ground. The amount of work that goes into something is what makes it valueable. That’s why I only buy the toughest to reach diamonds from the most brutal mines in Africa, now those are valuable!

How about having a bit of respect for the law?

You’re definitely confused. The number one type of theft is people stealing from shops and businesses. It happens all the time! Sometimes people come in a big group and run through the whole store stealing stuff just for the fun of it. You see it every day on the news.

Wage theft? I’ve never even heard of that on the news at all, it’s not happening every day like shop theft. But it is a problem. I have employees that I pay 8 hours of wages to and sometimes when I look at the security cams I see that they actually spent several hours sitting around chatting to each other instead of working so yes, it happens. But people stealing from the shop is still the worst kind of theft possible.

That’s wrong, stealing from a business is never ok. Businesses are what give people jobs and money, and you think it’s ok to just go around taking even more from them? After everything they have done for you? The owner of this shop can probably barely afford to make ends meet. When you steal a Banksy shirt you’re basically stealing food from that business man’s many children. Just because you love Banksy shirts so much. Think about that.

Everything they have is from theft? Wrong, they buy that stuff from other countries like Bangladesh (where they are also creating jobs by the way).
