It's that simple.

This situation is proof, right there. There's inadequate supply (willing employees) for the current level of demand (McWages).

It's disingenuous to apply supply & demand to the labor market, where demand-ers of labor have concentrated power and government backing, while the supply of labor is dogged with regulation & union-busting to diminish their power. It's an imbalance of power.

I don't get how these places have lines of customers going out the door but have like two people working the entire store. I'm seeing it EVERYWHERE.

99% of companies need to fuck off. The only reason they are failing is due to garbage management and how they're funneling all the money to the top instead of paying the employees.

is it?

Those things skew the supply/demand curves, not obliterate them.

It's an imbalance of power.

And now we see what happens when it starts to get skewed the other way, or at least skewed slightly less.

Restaurants are also just not a good investment most of the time. They require premium land to rent just to compete in the most saturated market in the country, and the one most prone to fluctuations. For some reason every random person's business dream is "restaurant" instead of "tech startup" lmao

"Grandma's old sorting algorithm" generally isn't a thing, unless your grandma was Jean Bartik or something.

Businesses are nothing without their workers. Their interests should come first and foremost
