Yeah. Punish the people who are living hand to mouth every single day by making them too poor to refuse any work they can get. That oughta teach them not to accept their slave labor. /S
Hand to mouth? lol you haven't met my ex who was a waitress at a mid level sit down restaurant.
That bitch was competing nicely with me on income back then when I was a junior software developer.
Not everyone working in food service is one day away from a homeless shelter.
And some of them are. It's dumb to make assumptions about an entire profession whose wages vary greatly from city to city based on one person you knew.
You ever see a person break down crying on the job because they're not making enough money and don't know how they're going to eat? I have, several times.
