The absurd notice got people thinking about labor laws, unionization, and the ways low-wage workers are consistently taken advantage of.

    They posted a rule that is inconsistent with state and federal law. That’s unethical and I think it should be illegal. Many employees do not understand their rights as workers, and many companies exploit that.

    The company could reword things such that the rule is a polite request. Or they could offer their employees contracts. Or they could offer a severance bonus if you give them notice. Those would all be reasonable, and I think contracts would be especially good.

      “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason” is inconsistent with the law as well.
