@cbsla: Canter’s Deli, a Los Angeles institution that has been operating for nearly 100 years, is facing mounting financial pressure after its monthly electric bill soared to over $35,000, up nearly $10,000 from just four months ago. Third-generation owner Mark Canter said the business has cut back on air conditioning and equipment use to conserve energy, while the Los Angeles city controller’s office investigates complaints about rising utility bills. Canter warned that if costs keep climbing, the 24-hour deli may have to make difficult decisions, including laying off employees who have worked there for decades.

Canters struggling financially is definitely a recession indicator

I hope enough people are enraged by the thought of losing Canter’s to actually sign the petition at change.org!

I used to love Canter’s but the last time I was there the man at the register was SCREAMING and cursing at one of the wait staff. She was an older woman who appeared to be trying her best and he was screaming calling her an idiot. I was so disgusted I haven’t been back since

Somethings up with how the meters got read last cycle, we had a broken AC and it was using our maximum power usage everytime it turned on. We figured out the problem 15 days into the next bill and we had used 1k kwh which means our max usage would be 4k and they said we pulled close to 6k kwh… it's physically impossible for our house to pull that much power.

We pay taxes to keep our city streets clean. We have vendors that don’t pay rent. Don’t pay taxes all cash business we have vermin from the food and trash. They have taken away business from our restaurants that pay license tax employee insurance rent food delivery.
