    If you can’t afford living wages for your staff so they’re not dependant on tips, your store shouldn’t be open.

      Everyone working a job should be making a living wage. “Oh, but then the price of my McDonald’s cheeseburger will skyrocket!!” Fucking good. If it’s not economical to produce a product without abusing people, that product shouldn’t exist. Period. I will die on this hill.

        They did away with most of their staff and their prices went up over 100% over the last 5 years or so anyway. It’s corporate greed all the way down.

        There’s no hill to assault, I don’t think anybody except the abusers (and the profiteers) disagree with you.

        I don’t know why people keep repeating this propaganda. Plenty of countries pay actual wages to their employees, don’t have tipping, and the prices are still fucking cheaper than America.

          Apologies, I’m not trying to say that that argument is true or has any basis in reality, more so that the argument is completely irrelevant

          regardless, it doesn’t matter if people are already forced to tip. it just means you’re already paying more but it’s just not included in the sticker price

        Hamburgling used to be a decent profession. Now with such cheap burgers all those skilled workers are left out.
