Minimum Wage Hike Kills Popular Upstate NY Eatery

Beloved Upstate Restaurant Closes, Cites Minimum Wage Hike As Major Reason

An Albany area fish fry restaurant is closing its doors after nearly 70 years in business, and the owner is pointing to New York’s $15 minimum wage as a major reason for his establishment’s downfall.

Bob and Ron’s Fish Fry, described by New York Upstate as an “Albany institution” featuring “the best fish fry in the Capital Region,” announced they’d be closing their doors in less than two weeks.


The owners took to social media over the weekend to make the announcement.

A message on Facebook reads:

“It is with great sadness that we regret to inform you that Bob and Ron’s Fish Fry will be closing its Latham location effective 4/30/2016. We thank all of you for your patronage and will miss you all.”

Responding to fan’s of the beloved restaurant, the owners posted their reason for having to shut down Bob and Ron’s.

“To be honest there is no way we could pay the high minimum wage that is coming,” they wrote.

Owner Dan Zonca was featured in a TWC News report when Governor Cuomo first unveiled his plans to enact a $15 minimum wage throughout the state, a plan that recently came to fruition.

Zonca warned that the unilateral minimum wage hike would put him out of business.

“There’s absolutely no way I could take a 52 percent jump in my payroll,” Zonca said, accounting for the basic benefits he provides his employees.

He added, “Cuomo and (Vice-President) Biden are out of their minds!”

Burger King is testing a machine that can make 600 burgers an hour, with more consistent burgers and with less waste than a humane. Plus you don't have to worry about the machine sneezing over the food or washing it's hands after taking a dump. No healthcare or other benefits and a warranty insures it won't be out sick. The costs for developing these type of machines are becoming more attractive as liberals drive up the costs of people doing the tasks.

I very, very seldom east fast food because I see the people, for the most part that work there, I don't want those kids and meth head adults any where near my food. Now if it's made by a machine I'll start eating fast food more often.

Bring on the $15.00 an hour for burger flippers, it'll result in the food being better and safer.
