Retail employers wants you to cover employee's 10 to 20% income via tips and NPR is on board

  • Look, I know it's idealist, but corporate profits are at an all time high. C-level execs make hundreds to thousands times what their lowest level employee does. It's disgusting. The greed and their assumption that we will just let them continually be more greedy is disgusting. Maybe they don't need all that. They can actually pay their employees better. They choose not to because we have barely any social nets in this country, what does exist can be really hard to get, and people have to eat and have a home. They prey on desperate people, hide behind the idea that minimum wage is "supposed to be for teenagers, and refuse to entertain the notion that they are the problem.
