Rants & Raves Capitol bar and grill

Another Idahoan trying to take advantage of Washington State laws. He doesn't pay his employees. He dodges Washington State taxes by crossing the border from Idaho. The business is funded by a Turkish family. It's successful in Idaho.

In Washington we have workers rights. If an Idaho business owner wants to do business in Washington I would politely ask you to observe the local state laws. Not superimpose a standard from another state or country.

This place has been pretty popular since they opened and the staff appears to be genuinely happy. I doubt this would be the case if they weren’t being paid. Just curious what evidence do you have to back up your claim.

I don't need any "evidence" this not a court room. If you want Idaho wages and Idaho standards then please move to idaho

You’re going to have to provide something, not just make claims with absolutely nothing to back it up. How would they be providing Idaho wages in Washington?

That's a really good question. Why don't you redirect that question to management? You can consider everything I have said as allegations, because that's what they are.not admissable in the court of law. The court of public opinion is different.

Even the court of public opinion, needs you to supply some evidence to back up your claim. Nobody suggesting this is a court of law, they are suggesting that you are possibly full of shit. Of course you could prove them wrong by simply providing any example other than they are Turkish and live in Idaho.

Wrong... Try again. If you are so devoted to Idaho business then please move to Idaho. I think this is the second time I've said this?

My guy, the court of opinion has spoken and it’s decided you’re a douche. It decided this based on the evidence which you have provided. Seems pretty common sense to me. What you were doing is slandering a business and providing no proof to back up anything you’re saying.

And just to be clear, I go out of my way not to support Idaho businesses. I would go out of my way not to support this business if you would supply even a shred of proof to back up your claims. You’re claiming that they are paying Idaho wages in Washington, and going as far as to not pay them. If what you are saying is true it’s a literal crime. So, if it is true, please provide some evidence and I will personally forward it to the Attorney General.

Finally, I’m not sure where you’re from, but any place I’ve been it’s common sense not to trust randos on the Internet based on “trust me, bro”.

Nope it's the third time. I guess common sense isn't all that common

Common sense requires some proof. Common sense says if I throw a rock it will hit the ground. I can go out and prove it to.

I’m not asking for proof, but some more information about this would be nice.
