Taco Bell vs taqueria does make sense, IMO. Smaller businesses have less economy of scale, and thus less ability to pay higher wages. Taco Bell, in contrast, has vastly larger scale, and thus the ability to pay workers more. Plus, it gives smaller, local businesses a potential leg up, fostering competition.
The bread thing definitely reeks of corruption.
- HEmanZ 3y agoIsn’t Taco Bell on a franchise model tho? So it’s basically a small business that pays royalties for advertising?
- OkayPhysicist 3y agoCorporate also handles the logistics, aka, most any interaction with the larger economy besides wages.
- friend_and_foe 3y agoIt doesn't give them a leg up in the labor market. They'll have to raise pay to compete, negating any leg up you're talking about, or if they don't, resentment from employees, high turnover, and either way many of them will go out of business. Big corporations win.
