If you buy a franchise you're a contractor, not an employee. Contractors (like any other business) are totally entitled to "lose money" on jobs, equally you can turn away work you don't want to do. What you end up getting paid working as a contractor is on you as a business owner. If you're thinking of buying a business. You can seek legal advice. Equally you can seek advice from an accountant as to the returns/profitability of the business before you buy. Everyone is entitled to enter into a shit deal providing it's not fradulent.
