Because they are hoping the understaffing is temporary. Once you raise wages it is hard to bring them back down.

companies exist in the US for one purpose and one purpose only: to generate as much profit as possible. so the answer to any question like "why does a company do this?" is "because they feel it will generate more profit than the alternative"

The owner of my place just bought a beach house in Connecticut.
May pay hasn't gone up in a year.
The workload has only increased.
I learn a lot where I'm at.
But I think the thing that will keep me there is the good people I see.
Almost everyone in this town goes there. If I leave, that is what I will miss the most.

They still seem to be holding out hope that people will eventually be desperate enough to pay bills that they'll come crawling back to their shitty, low-paying job.

What they fail to realize is that when your job doesn't actually cover those bills, there's no point in working there at all. So now the go-to strategy is to gaslight workers by calling them lazy and entitled. Anything to get around cutting into their profits.

Because they're not losing money. They're making fewer people do more work and customer complaints can be responded to with "sorry but covid and also nobody wants to work!!!!" So actually they're making more money than ever before.
