The restaurant world, in particular, seems to have heavily bifurcated between owner-as-entitled-extractor and owner-as-management. I'm not surprised to hear that someone who failed the transition to take-out is also blaming labor for his business's hard times.
Not to say that there wasn't some determinism in terms of location, target market, and target demographic. But good judgement, simple business management skills, and just generally being able to roll with punches made a huge difference in terms of survival rate.
