Have you been to other countries where they actually pay people a living wage? Cashiers can even sit. Imagine that!
Somehow big chains in some European countries can pay their employees a living wage and still make a profit, yet, in the US, the employees should be eating dirt in order for businesses to be profitable?
And as someone buying things in general, I prefer to go to stores and businesses where employees are at the very least paid minimum wage, if not more. Even if this will cost more. I know those business will be better for the community.
You are eating the lies of corporations if you think they cannot afford to pay their employees even minimum wage.
EDIT: Poe's law. I may have eaten an onion.
