> It isn't a thankless job What experience do you have working this kind of job / interfacing with people who work these kinds of jobs? More often than not in my experience, they are extremely miserable/unhappy (probably as a result of making less than $40k/yr). They don't have the skillsets/education/opportunities to get ahead. Customers constantly yell at them. Telling them "be happy for what you have/how much you make" is sort of kind of like... not well received? > It's a different argument if they're not getting paid enough There's no easy solution. Most businesses run on like a 10-30% net margin if not lower. Payroll is a fixed portion of that. We already have an "inflation" problem and giving everybody $5/hr raises isn't going to fix anything.
