This has no bearing in reality. Most of these places can't staff their stores because no one will work for prevailing wages.

Oh yeah, the people grabbing coffee at Starbucks are all rich.
Raise your prices and pay your staff.
- ethbr1 2y ago> Oh yeah, the people grabbing coffee at Starbucks are all rich. Relatively speaking? Yes. Someone spending $4+ on one coffee mean they can easily tip. And if your argument is that they can't afford that? Then those same customers won't be able to afford the price increase if Starbucks simply raised labor costs and passed it on.
- geodel 2y agoThats exactly the point. Raise the price then customer can decide if they can afford it or not. With fake low prices customers may not know what they are getting into.
- geodel 2y agoThe funny thing is when people reasonably say raise the price to actual costs, the answers is "Customer may stop coming..". As if the whole point to scam customer with fake low prices.
