Or the businesses can give up a little of their profits, the greedy fukks.

Yes they can, but let's keep it 100, If you were one of the shareholders would you want your earnings to be cut into? Chances are not. In the same way we as consumers want cheap prices, so do shareholders. They want maximum profits. The game is the game.

More pay in of itself is not enough...but that's a convo for another day

The real problem is corporations being racist and preserving their positions for cacs who want them . Artificial labor shortage

I’m all for paying employees more. But that rise in wages will get passed on to the consumer. That $10 burger will eventually increase to $15-$20 eventually and then we’ll see consumers vote with their wallets..

Nikkas always go to this reasoning and to that I say so the fukk what???

That very reasoning is what nikkas use to justify bullshyt.

Right now every one of us owns a phone that was made with literal slave labor. Why? Because its cheaper that way

Convenience is so sexy we ignore and justify whatever we need to in order to not pay a higher cost or be inconvenienced

Maybe prices need to be higher of it means better treatment of the people making the product. Maybe we don't need to buy all the bullshyt we buy especially when we discard most of it

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

That's why I call it the chicken little bullshyt it is nikkas don't think about the full scale of what they're saying

Like in 6 months every fast food restaurant is gonna have a million dollar Iron Man arm in the back making #2s

For the majority of people, you can tell that the only information that they know about the concept of automation is what they see and hear from movies and on TV

Many companies are trying to see if they can stretch their employees to the brim and still keep it ticking. Just madness.

Just a matter of time before they all quit. Either up the wages so new hires are enticed, even so, retail at the low end is just a revolving door.


Not sure if large scale automation is there but this is probably going to accelerate it. Still YEARS away from that shyt.


We're in a mad time in history, literally living it.

Bro, no need to get explosive. I'm just calling it out as it is....people talk about paying employees more and i agree, I'm just saying when prices increase then consumers have an opportunity to back up their statements with their dollars

Economics trumps most other sentitments

 

[MF budz]

how much should it be ? in your opinion

As someone that works in a QSR(not chipotle) The margins are there to give workers more money. I’m on My way to ownership stake in one and know the profit and loss game. I live in a town of 30,000 and our location has done 1,250,000 this year. Couldn’t imagine what the profit in a city like Austin would be.

I wasn't disagreeing as much as I was emphasizing

And I emphasize because we the consumer share blame in all of this

i'm not sure if thats the case for a salaried manager.


edit: a salaried manager from an unrelated business.

Folks will really look at this and




How can humans be so heartless

 

[luvaznpoon]

I notice the people who get upset about this stuff, it's not because they are against a livable wage. It's an ego thing.

It's also a convenience thing, cheap an easy is more important than human beings.

They feel they earned the right to be in a class above these workers.

If these low skill workers close the gap on their wages, then in their mind, it lessens their achievement.

I'm not as well off if you're doing better. They base how well they are doing by how big the gap is between them and others, not by if they are happy or comfortable.

It's like when people say "I'm an EMT and make 15$ an hour why should fast food workers make the same as me?"

Notice how their thought was why do fast food workers make the same as me. Not why don't I make more than fast food workers. The irony is this is the same argument the fast food workers are making. They just don't realize they are also being fukked.

People don't feel good about themselves unless they know others are doing worse, it's a sad fact.

Facts. This retarded mentality, plus the country's fukked up racial dynamic is why a brutal collapse is inevitable. Hope the corporate overlords and their dikk suckers are ready their day is coming

I know a McDonald’s like this people that want to order just walk out cause they’re too busy with drive thru, Uber eats and kiosk orders

they understaffed

As a shareholder of Driden restaurants, I will take a little bit less. This whole philosophy that the goal of companies is to maximize shareholder wealth is one of the most absurd and irresponsible philosophies in capitalism.

Our society would be a much better place if decisions were made with all stakeholders in mind. That’s why I dig the German model. The board is made up of both shareholder reps and and Labor reps.

base-pay at chipotle in austin,texas is $11/hour.

That's a fortune in my country
