Henry Ford famously paid his workers enough so that they could afford a, ta-da! Ford.
Wal-Mart's kind of doing the same thing, by asking people to give charity to their workers so that they don't have to pay them even just a little more, even if it would mean they'd more thean likely just turn around and spend it on Wal-Mart shit.
Unbelievable.
Nothing enrages me more than when I see an actual sign in a restaurant reminding us that their workers depend on tips. I'm okay with the tacit transaction we're all accustomed to re: tipping, but to flat out say "hey asshole, you pay them so I don't have to" is fucking outrageous.
