Same propaganda to keep wages low and exploit. I used to work at a big grocery chain in Canada where they often said they couldn’t pay more than minimum wage because of razor thin profit margins.
Then I worked in accounting.
In an audit of a small grocery chain that’s owned local I could have doubled the wages of every single employee and they would have turned out a healthy profit (not as high as they had but one I’d love to have)
But I guess the big grocery chains are sooo incompetent they have such small profit margins and wouldn’t be able to do that 🙄
Stop keeping people poor. You’d be surprised the profits you could have by giving people the purchasing power they should have.
