To your first point, I disagree. There’s a gas station chain that’s based out of Texas called Buc-ee’s. They post their wages where everyone can see them and they generally pay about double what the other gas stations in the area pay. Their gas is usually a bit less (I don’t think I’ve ever seen it higher) than nearby locations. Their bathrooms are fucking immaculate. The people I’ve known who work there are genuinely happy to work there.
They’re not perfect by any means, but they’re a good business. I’ve seen them packed full in the middle of the night on road trips so they’re getting customers. They’ve been doing this exact same thing for years. It’s perfectly possible to pay your people more and still compete.
I absolutely agree with your second point.

Yeah, I was maybe being facetious when I said the first part.
I love Buc-ee’s too… I try to avoid it cause I end ups spending too much time and money in there.
As far as employers go, I understand they are pretty good.
But they are still using Styrofoam cups. And a lot of them. That’s absolutely absurd to me.
