#1 That stunned the eatery’s customers.

Maryland Minimum Wage $9.25 / hour

#2 Something tells me he is (or was) paying much less than that.

#3 Exploited but still earning a wage.
How about squashing some of the street corner crime?

#4 Yeah.... insisting his business was in compliance but you lose 30 employees.

Something smells here and it ain't the fish.

#6 Something else smells.

I wonder how the letter was delivered. The article gives me the impression of squad of DHS gunmen storming the restaurant at 6 o'clock rush; the owner pleading his case as 30 workers escape through the olde coal loading dock as stunned eaters wonder if they are in the robbery scene in Pulp Fiction.

#7 Excellent! Baltimore's young black male unemployment rate is then 30% range. Consider it an opportunity and a challenge.

#8 Isn't 30 employees a lot for a restaurant?

#9 "Isn't 30 employees a lot for a restaurant?"

Not if they are all part-time to avoid health care mandates.

#10 Not really. One I worked at was supposed to have 2 dish, 3 prep in the back, 4-5 in the kitchen, bartender, greeter, and say 5 wait per shift. IIRC, at least twenty tables and a bar area with cocktail tables, small patio out front with three cocktail tables. Holidays and occasions would require more on a shift. Lot of part time, including me, on account of school. Then as OreganGuy says, take into account HC Mandate.

#11 Checked the building out on their website. Based on the decor and client 'target', looks pretty upscale and successful.

He should have known not play fast and loose with the I-9's.

#12 30 left but only one social security number needs to be removed from the payroll system.
