I have loyalty to higher prices if they treat their employees right. I'm willing to shell out an extra dollar if it means the employees aren't getting paid shit an hour

    Sure, but most of the time in this capitalist hellscape your options are shit and slightly different colored shit.

    Slightly different colored is a pretty big statement

    you can get the same service from a company that pays the workers $45 an hour or one that pays them $22... That's a life vs working under the thumb of a company. It's a very large difference between the good and the bad. Capitalism is everything trending towards shit inevitably, but that does not mean that every individual business is shit. It just means someday they will become shit.
