I heard the owner of a local cafe a few years ago complaining about how “he couldn’t find any good workers” … I asked the girl across the counter later if she was willing to state how much she was paid. Minimum wage. Approximately half of what the local government officially acknowledges what a living wage is here to afford a one-bedroom apartment.
If your business can’t afford to pay your employees enough to feed, clothe and house themselves with a full-time position, then your business isn’t viable. Period.

This exactly. I have never understood how the managers or supervisors who ever is in charge of their pay to make it to where they can’t even afford to live on their own. The audacity of some of these employers. I was looking for a new job and they low balled me tremendously. I looked at them like, how in the hell am I suppose to live off that pay? You know McDonald’s pays much more. Even to McDonald’s pay, it’s still considerably very low but to have a job labeled as a decent occupation with some form of a college degree or experience, and then pay you as low or the same as McDonalds is wild to me. Then you have them complain “We can’t find anyone.” “Why does no one wanna work?” Shit Steve, maybe pay the workers/employees to where they can afford one bedroom apartment and get eggs for starters. It’s absolutely insane with these individuals who are looking to hire and the lack of common sense. Pay people a living wage maybe, and see what happens.
Sure, you can invest as little as possible (like 3 cents), but don’t fucking expect to become a millionaire over the night. It’s not impossible, but you’re more likely to be lethaly hit by a blanket dropped by high-flying stork that he got from an open luggage compartment of flying Boeing 737.
Capitalism doesn’t allow ethical business to be viable, though.
So what you’re saying is that businesses should pay their workers less. Because the competition that fucks over their workers across the street wouldn’t make you viable otherwise.

It is like with stocks

The more you give, the more you get

Costco seems to be doing just fine paying their workers a decent wage
They’re paying wages. Don’t you see the problem?
Wages are exploitation. Abolish the wage system.
cafes are almost a revolving door for college students, to work part time. just like the corporate ones, they dont want to pay benefits.
