That would hurt sales. Restaurants benefit from people impulse buying extra during the meal, such as more drinks or deserts and only seeing the price total at the end. If people had to pay up front there would be fewer impulse buys.
 
這會(huì)影響銷售額。餐館的利潤(rùn)來(lái)源于人們?cè)谟貌推陂g沖動(dòng)購(gòu)買額外物品，例如更多的飲料或甜點(diǎn)，而且最后才看到總價(jià)。如果人們必須預(yù)先付款，沖動(dòng)消費(fèi)就會(huì)減少。

“商店盜竊犯罪浪潮”已經(jīng)被證明是胡扯，那現(xiàn)在他們又開始這樣說(shuō)了？真是受夠了。

Sorry to ask but I tried Googling and couldn't find a reputable article to support you claim. Can you please provide a lix? I go to SF 2x/week and the open air "markets" selling stolen stuff are something I see without fail every time. I understand that this is a personal anecdote and has little value so I'm looking for a source to expand my view on the matter.
 
抱歉問(wèn)一下，我試著用谷歌搜索，但沒(méi)找到支持你觀點(diǎn)的可靠文章。能否提供一個(gè)鏈接？我每周去兩次舊金山，每次去開放式“市場(chǎng)”看到有人在賣偷來(lái)的東西。我理解這只是個(gè)人經(jīng)歷，價(jià)值有限，所以我希望找到一個(gè)來(lái)源來(lái)擴(kuò)展我對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題的看法。

like… just federal and state crime statistics? i mean literally crime is really low right now, like basically at pre pandemic levels. it was all propaganda
vox article on it being mostly anecdotal

就……聯(lián)邦和州的犯罪統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)嗎？其實(shí)現(xiàn)在犯罪率很低，基本上和疫情前差不多。那些都是宣傳。

TheEzekariate
I witness so much theft at the store I work at everyday and almost none of it gets reported. It’s like that at most retail stores dude. It’s simply not worth the time for most businesses to report the amount of petty theft that occurs.
 
我每天在我工作的商店里目睹了很多盜竊行為，但幾乎沒(méi)有人報(bào)案。大多數(shù)零售商店都是這樣，伙計(jì)。對(duì)于大多數(shù)商家來(lái)說(shuō)，報(bào)告這些小偷小摸根本不值得花時(shí)間。

mtcwby
You're assuming it gets reported. When the police do nothing and in fact are incentivised not to have bad statistics they discourage reporting. There's a reason that retail stores close in SF and Oakland that wasn't true 20 years ago. Results that don't lie like statistics.
 
你假設(shè)它被舉報(bào)。當(dāng)警方什么都不做，實(shí)際上還被激勵(lì)去避免出現(xiàn)不好的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)時(shí)，他們會(huì)勸阻報(bào)告。零售商店在舊金山和奧克蘭關(guān)閉的原因，20年前是沒(méi)有的。那些不騙人、像統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)這樣的結(jié)果。

Safeway is starting to lock up the toothpaste now, its ridiculous. Target has all of the socks and underwear locked up too, as well as anything for allergies.
Those saline nasal rinse bottles that contain just packets of salt to make the saline? They're behind steel cages, its so dumb.
 
超市現(xiàn)在開始把牙膏鎖起來(lái)，真是荒謬。Target（塔吉特商店）也把所有襪子和內(nèi)衣鎖起來(lái)了，還把所有過(guò)敏藥品都鎖起來(lái)。

43% of small businesses can't pay the rent, Bloomberg reports.
For restaurants, 52% can't pay the rent.
That's the highest number since the depths of the lockdowns. And it's very odd considering "blockbuster" official statistics on GDP and unemployment.
 
彭博社報(bào)道，小型企業(yè)中有43%無(wú)法支付租金。
對(duì)于餐廳來(lái)說(shuō)，有52%無(wú)法支付租金。
這是自封鎖以來(lái)最嚴(yán)重的數(shù)字。而且這很奇怪，考慮到“驚人”的官方GDP和失業(yè)統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)。
 
@douglaskarr
I started my business at 40 years old and gave up at 55 outside of minor freelance side work and my online publication. The only consistent threat I faced in that 15 years was the government. Local, state, and federal gave tax breaks and grants to big business, but I got nothing no matter how I grew, supported charities, or how well I paid employees. The lockdowns finally put the last nail in its coffin when I was denied PPP with no explanation.
 
我40歲創(chuàng)業(yè)，55歲放棄，除了兼職兼職和我的在線出版物。在那15年里，我唯一持續(xù)面臨的威脅就是政府。地方、州和聯(lián)邦政府都給大企業(yè)提供稅收減免和補(bǔ)助，但無(wú)論我如何發(fā)展壯大、支持慈善機(jī)構(gòu)，或者給員工支付多少工資，我都一無(wú)所獲。封鎖終于給我的棺材釘上了最后一顆釘子，我被毫無(wú)理由地拒絕了PPP（薪資保護(hù)計(jì)劃）。

@PapaNewPro
We’re still a small business but were able to get a PPP loan, have it forgiven and qualified for the full $2mil EIDL loan. When we were just 11 employees (now 29) we were able to get $1mil in property tax abatements from our town and $200k from the IEDC. We probably wouldn’t be in business today without these things. It often feels the game is rigged. All that said our business hasn’t made much in the last 5 years. If we do it’s gobbled up by inflation, banks, taxes, etc. All my wealth generation has come from leveraging the business to grow my commercial real estate portfolio and investments in the stock market. I often refer to myself as the “l(fā)andlord” vs the CEO, as I do the CEO bit just to earn some rent money at the end of the day.
 
我們?nèi)匀皇切∑髽I(yè)，但我們成功拿到了PPP貸款，且得到了免除，還申請(qǐng)到了全額200萬(wàn)美元的EIDL貸款。當(dāng)我們公司只有11名員工時(shí)（現(xiàn)在有29名員工），我們從當(dāng)?shù)卣@得了100萬(wàn)美元的物業(yè)稅減免，且從IEDC得到了20萬(wàn)美元。如果沒(méi)有這些幫助，我們可能今天早就關(guān)門了。感覺(jué)這個(gè)游戲就是設(shè)定好的。盡管如此，我們的生意在過(guò)去五年里并沒(méi)有賺到多少錢。如果有的話，通貨膨脹、銀行、稅收等就會(huì)吞掉它。我所有的財(cái)富積累都來(lái)自于利用公司發(fā)展我的商業(yè)房地產(chǎn)投資組合和股市投資。我常常自稱為“房東”，而不是CEO，因?yàn)槲易鯟EO的工作，基本上是為了每天賺些租金。

@OffshoreHODL
This is FUD.
60% of restaurants fail in the first year and 80% fail in 5 years.
Have you ever met a chef? Or tried to manage a wait staff? Or met anyone who started a restaurant. That's why they fail.
 
這是恐慌言論（FUD）。
60% 的餐館在第一年就倒閉，80% 的餐館在五年內(nèi)倒閉。
你見(jiàn)過(guò)廚師嗎？或者試過(guò)管理服務(wù)員嗎？或者見(jiàn)過(guò)任何開餐館的人嗎？這就是他們失敗的原因。

@Jabippy

@tonyddpg
That's why they fail in the 1st through 5th year. That's not what is in question here. Apples and oranges. Liberals always twist facts to maintain their superior ignorance.
 
這就是為什么餐館在第一到第五年會(huì)失敗。這不是問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵。這簡(jiǎn)直是胡扯。自由主義者總是歪曲事實(shí)，以維護(hù)他們優(yōu)越的無(wú)知。

@StephenEllis_PR
If you think Biden is the problem you’re not paying attention.

@Daniel21e15
For the last 50 years, the US GDP has been 70% consumer spending. Meaning, at least 20% is debt.
A lot of that debt went into many of these small businesses that wouldn't exist but for debt spending.
This scheme can only last so long. This is what the end of it looks like.
 
在過(guò)去的50年里，美國(guó)GDP的70%來(lái)自消費(fèi)者支出。也就是說(shuō)，至少20%是債務(wù)。
其中很多債務(wù)投入了許多依賴債務(wù)支撐的小企業(yè)。
這種模式只能持續(xù)這么久。這就是它結(jié)束的樣子。
 
@All_Right_Now2
Now wait a second Peter, Biden's handlers keep telling us the economy is great.  Surely your claims can't be true.
The huge increase in inflation isn't a problem either.  It's all hunky dory.
 
等一下，彼得，拜登的幕僚一直告訴我們經(jīng)濟(jì)很好。你說(shuō)的這些顯然不是真的吧。
通貨膨脹的巨大增加也不是問(wèn)題。看起來(lái)一切都很順利。
 
@bestrategic2
Economic stats need to be reconsidered and modified. When government spending and hiring now has such a large impact on both GDP and unemployment, while generating inflation - calculating them as before and declaring how great they are makes no sense.
 
經(jīng)濟(jì)統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)需要重新考慮和修改。當(dāng)政府支出和雇傭?qū)DP和失業(yè)率的影響如此巨大，同時(shí)又導(dǎo)致通貨膨脹時(shí)，按照過(guò)去的方法計(jì)算并宣稱它們很好是沒(méi)有意義的。
 
@aussie2361
My 39 year old landmark restaurant in Oregon was promised RRF for being FORCED to shut down. We got $0 from the gov. program. Upon opening everyone was wanting back pay, utilities insurance rent etc. Had to use 401k. And now prices high traffic low. Disaster.

@JohnHariza58511
Unemployment doesn’t help restaurants and small businesses. It is the opposite..Restaurants have been decimated by food inflation and wage inflation. Keeping staff from leaving to make a buck an hour more has driven up costs.  They can’t raise prices anymore and keep customers

Yes. As a very small newspaper, I had to move to a very small office in a less desirable location to make rent. My costs have quadrupled over the past eight years between min wage, paper, delivery due to gas prices, insurance due to open drug laws, etc.
 
是的。作為一家非常小的報(bào)紙，我不得不搬到一個(gè)不太理想的地方的小辦公室來(lái)支付租金。過(guò)去八年間，由于最低工資、紙張、由于油價(jià)上漲的配送費(fèi)用、由于開放藥物法律導(dǎo)致的保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)用等，我的成本增加了四倍。

@badgraphix
That makes sense to me. If everyone's already employed, employees are going to cost more to hire. And housing costs are really high now too. It's a recipe for certain sectors to really take a hit, and restaurants have always been a very risky biz with many running on thin margins
 
我能理解。如果每個(gè)人都已經(jīng)就業(yè)，那么雇傭員工的成本會(huì)更高。而且現(xiàn)在住房成本也很高。這是某些行業(yè)真的會(huì)受到打擊的一個(gè)食譜，餐飲業(yè)一直是一個(gè)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)很大的行業(yè)，許多企業(yè)的利潤(rùn)率都很薄。

考慮到他們的目標(biāo)是創(chuàng)造一個(gè)數(shù)字化世界，強(qiáng)迫我們所有人進(jìn)入智能城市并全天候監(jiān)控，實(shí)際上這并不奇怪。擺脫實(shí)體店，讓民眾買不起房，是實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)的墊腳石。

It's obvious what's happening.  Government is growing larger.  The private sector is shrinking.  It's a planned transformation that started with the Obama/Biden administration.
 
顯而易見(jiàn)，政府正在變得越來(lái)越大，私營(yíng)部門在萎縮。這是奧巴馬/拜登政府發(fā)起的有計(jì)劃的轉(zhuǎn)型。

And if Democrats steal the election/Congress again, they will surely allow the Trump tax cuts to expire. Businesses, most of which are already struggling, will need to immediately raise prices astronomically.

Mix of bad economy and cheap money.
Some businesses just made terrible decisions and banks let them.
I went to a brewery in a rural agricultural part of Florida,  and they were selling $9 dollar beers with no happy hour. Obviously, this place is going out of business.

有些企業(yè)做出了糟糕的決策，而銀行卻放任他們這么做。
我去了佛羅里達(dá)一個(gè)鄉(xiāng)村農(nóng)業(yè)地區(qū)的釀酒廠，他們賣9美元一杯的啤酒，而且沒(méi)有歡樂(lè)時(shí)光。顯然，這個(gè)地方要倒閉了。

@BeardenArtist
That’s because folks don’t have extra money to buy things or go out to eat.

We were broken into. Again.
Our little retail shop on Main St. is a classic small business.
With every purchase, we donate meals to families in need.
Over 500,000.
We try to sponsor every request from our community, even if it's just a donation of goods.
While this will set us back with operations, online orders, and monetarily, we will move forward.
 
我們又被盜了。
我們的店鋪在主街上，是一個(gè)典型的小企業(yè)。
每當(dāng)我們賣出一件商品，就會(huì)為有需要的家庭捐贈(zèng)餐食。
已經(jīng)超過(guò)50萬(wàn)餐了。
我們盡量支持社區(qū)里的每個(gè)請(qǐng)求，即便只是捐贈(zèng)一些物品。
盡管這次會(huì)影響我們的運(yùn)營(yíng)、在線訂單和財(cái)務(wù)，但我們會(huì)繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。
 
@UltraDane
Who do you think pays for their behavior?  Them?
When the store has an item stolen which costs a dollar, they keep margins by raising prices. They raise prices, thugs do it again, prices go up again, and so and etc etc. The one dollar item now costs $1.20 and paying patrons go elsewhere to shop. Store gets robbed again... doors close forever and a new food ghetto is born.
 
你覺(jué)得是誰(shuí)為他們的行為買單？是他們自己?jiǎn)幔?br /> 當(dāng)商店被盜走一件價(jià)值一美元的商品時(shí)，為了保持利潤(rùn)，他們提高了價(jià)格。他們提價(jià)了，暴徒又來(lái)了，價(jià)格再次上漲，循環(huán)往復(fù)。那件一美元的商品現(xiàn)在可能賣到1.20美元，支付的顧客就會(huì)選擇去別的地方購(gòu)物。商店再次被盜……門關(guān)了，新的貧民區(qū)誕生了。
 
@UltraDane
According to restaurant industry insiders, an old high school phenomena of "dine and dash" has resurfaced, but with a twist.
"An ever increasing number of patrons prearrange brawls, so the establishment has no choice but to "eat" the cost of the meals or risk being sued over fake charges. Things are so bad, many of the smaller stores were forced to close and move their lives and businesses elsewhere."
 
根據(jù)餐飲行業(yè)內(nèi)部人士的說(shuō)法，一個(gè)曾經(jīng)在高中出現(xiàn)過(guò)的“霸王餐”現(xiàn)象又回來(lái)了，但略有不同。
“越來(lái)越多的顧客預(yù)先安排了打斗，餐館別無(wú)選擇，只能“承擔(dān)”餐飲費(fèi)用，要不就冒著被虛假指控的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。情況糟糕到很多小商店不得不關(guān)門，搬走了他們的生意和生活?！?br />

Perspective on how brutal things still are for independent restaurants:
We process payments for thousands of small restaurants. Our data shows their business was down 75% at the start of the pandemic.
Since June it's been down 40% - 2x worse than the peak of the 2009 recession
 
關(guān)于獨(dú)立餐廳依然面臨的嚴(yán)峻局勢(shì)：

自 6 月以來(lái)，已下跌 40% - 比 2009 年經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退高峰期還要糟糕兩倍

open drug use and safety issues are playing a role too. It’s tough to keep a business open downtown when the Liberal government has a “catch and release” policy for repeat offenders. Rampant shoplifting with zero consequences
 
公開吸毒和安全問(wèn)題也起了作用。自由黨政府對(duì)慣犯實(shí)行“抓捕釋放”政策，市中心的商店很難繼續(xù)營(yíng)業(yè)。商店盜竊猖獗，卻無(wú)人承擔(dān)任何后果。

@Cernovich
Even setting aside real risk of harm…
Net margins on brick and mortar retailers is 10-20%.
One or two big heists and the small business owner can’t even afford to pay himself a salary.
Imagine having your entire years paycheck taken from you and then shitlibs laugh about it.

Small indie restaurants are getting slaughtered. Business down 20-80 percent. I'm not anti-chain restaurant. But right now, if you have the means, pick a small place to support (chains can weather this). Order to-go food (most are doing curbside pickup). Buy a gift certificate.
