Hey you know what.
When someone is preparing something that I am going to put inside my body, I really, really want them to be well compensated and happy with their jobs.
Not sure why you don't. I guess you all like living dangerously.
Then why don't you just go to the most expensive places to eat instead of a sub shop?
In all honesty it's cheaper to make your own sandwiches than it is to order out.
That's another of my pet peeves. How many people whining that they don't make enough buy coffee every day at 2-5 dollars a cup when they could fill a thermos up at home for a few cents?
Usually, I do prepare most of my own food, and the only time I go to a Starbucks is when I am meeting a c lient. (It's really not the coffee I'm paying for, it's the WiFi.)
Of course, the fallacy here is that paying a decent wage would really increase prices all that much. A nickel a sandwich? Can't see that being that big of a deal.
Have you done the math?
Can you prove that nickel increase is accurate?
Do you know the overhead cost per minute of that sub shop?
BTW an increase of 5 dollars an hour costs the employer much more than the 200 a week for a full time employee. Payroll taxes unemployment taxes and workman's comp taxes all go up as well. if that employee made 100 sandwiches a week to recoup the increase and break even every sandwich that employee made would have to go up more than 2 dollars each.
