My main employee quit on me

Why aren't you working?
He is the owner, dumbass. He is his own boss and may do as he pleases. He doesn't work for the Govt like you.
Yeah, it is a much better option to sit and constantly complain about your shitty workers. The ideal of an American businessman.
I am trying my best !!
You do realize I am in Vegas lol
What should I realise? I have never been to Vegas and I dont think will ever be.

Pay your workers more and the odds you will finally get good ones will be increasing. That is a basical thing, actually. You get what you pay for.
I was paying her a whopping $340 a week minus withholdings

And how many hours she had to work to get these money? Something tell me that 340 bucks a week (in reality fewer) is far from 'whopping' in the US and Vegas in particular.

About 30

So, that is less than a proposed minimum wage. In what universe is that 'whopping'?

Minumum wage is $8-9 dollars here and I was paying $13
 
I think I am going to boost my new top employee to $12 and the new guy to $11

340/30 = 11,33. Take the withholdings out of there. Not too much. In reality I think it is even lesser.

I'll be in Vegas soon, tell me where you work and I'll come and work 2 days for FREE.
Just to understand how your so-called Franchise could be in such a dire situation.

Send me a PM.
 
Also , I believe the older slant eyed hag was stealing from me
Not a lot but I was told by other customers.

You already pay more, according to your words.
I am going to pay the new guy $11 and raise the other kid to $12
Maybe they can stick around a year
Quasar have you ever worked for $11.00/hr?
When I was a kid , I was paid only tree fiddy an hour
I'm asking because most people who have to pay for food, housing and utilities can't live off of $11.00 especially part time. Did you give her any benefits?
 
Right now I promoted a kid employee up to my number 1

If this goes south ..then my final and last option is to offer a $15 an hr salary and then just sell the store

. . . after a two. . . three week probationary period?

Make any employee you have a shareholder in the success of the venture. What ever profit you take, make them a profit taker too. Give them a percent. . . even if meager, a bonus on sales, make it worth their time to give a damn about the success of your venture.

If they SEE that percentage at the end of the month, they might stick around, and put in that extra effort?

If they feel a part of something, they might give a damn.

Okay, so I want you to think about something. I'm not saying this is what you should do, BUT if you wouldn't work for those wages with NO benefits why you think anyone else would or should?
 
After me giving her the exact hours she wanted and pay - she quits and I only get 3 days notice .

What a classless lady .
Her new job may pay more but she will be working 20 times harder and I hope she enjoys it

My second employee will cover some of her hours but I need to hire another one

This insane cycle won’t ever end . I fire bad ones and the good ones quit the second a better job appears

I don’t think I am going to last until 2025
Why don't you just hire quality workers instead of bad ones, pay them well and treat them well.

If you don't understand this dynamic or are unable or unwilling to correct it, then you will continue to receive these same results. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, calling the young lady "classless" for giving you 3 days notice when she's not legally required to give you any notice is just one example.
Well don't just disagree with me tell me what you don't agree with in what I said.

You don't seem to understand people very well. People are motivated primarily by what benefits them, not what will benefit someone else the most. Most people work because they have too, and it's called "work" for a reason in that it's generally laborious and something that most would rather not be doing it they had a choice.

Also, people will do things, even if they don't want it, it's not ideal or they see it as a temporarily situation because doing so benefits them in some way. The more honesty that's involved in the initial conversation, the better results you usually can obtain. For example, I always hated it when during an interview I was asked why I wanted to work for company "XYX" (I still hate that question). When I was younger it was usually because I had goals and bills to pay and this job would help me get there but you can't really tell an employer that's why you want the job (particularly when the goals don't involved working for that company for crappy wages forever).

That's why I suggested you try a temp agency because if you invest 3 weeks of training one of their employees and they leave you in the lurch, if you pick the right agency, some have it in their contract that you won't be billed x number of dollars if things don't work out, which is why they do a lot of screening because they don't want to end up having to pay out on employees who can't or won't get the job done.

Also, have you thought of contacting the state for programs where they have incentives if you hire certain people (veterans, disabled veterans, disabled individuals, etc.) or a college work study program where the program pays the students something like minimum wage but they get college credit and actual work experience at the same time. Staying long enough to get college credit is more motivation for them to stick it out with you than anything else you current have going on to hear you tell it.

Again, if you keep doing the same things over and over you're going to keep getting the same results. There are always better and smarter ways to do things, you just have to trust that they will work.
When I was in Oregon : I had good success as I could hire college kids
In Vegas: it’s all white and black ghetto trash

Last time I checked, UNLV was in Las Vegas, and college kids attended UNLV...
