    Its a punitive measure. Our lords want to send the message that further wage legislation will not be tolerated.

      I agree. It might make financial sense for them as far as reducing payroll and management costs, but it seems just as likely to reduce their sales by as much as that saves. To me it feels like a political statement “how dare you expect us to pay employees!” where they pretend it’s not possible for them to make it work. Which is fine. If a business depends on paying subsistence slave wages, it should just close.

        Boomers keep threatening the collapse of the fast food market, “no one wants to work anymore”. Like they think anyone is going to miss the absolute shit that is fast food. Why are we supposed to care?

        Not aboutdestroying, its about directing anger back to the working class. Its a look what you made me do for standing up for yourself.
