Everyone does, raise the minimum wage already.
That’s not the only problem. It’s also the disproportionate number of part-time positions in order to minimize benefits provided and maximize team attendance and reliability. It’s exploitative, and will continue at any minimum wage until legislation inhibits the practice.
It’s criminal. American taxpayers subsidize Amazon, Walmart, and McDonald’s low and part-time wage practices through welfare and SNAP benefits. Even if you don’t buy from those companies, you’re enriching Bezos, the Waltons, and all of their shareholders.

$15 an hour is $600 a week at 40 hours.
$31,200 a year pre-tax.
Those people were struggling BEFORE inflation hit 9%, now it’s another 3.5% on top of 3% on top of that 9%.
Babe wake up, new Wal Mart just dropped.
The lowest paying job for any Amazon owned company is $15/hr, but the average is $20/hr.
There’s a solution 🤷♂️
