That is not relevant to the subject at hand, because the cost of living and social support systems vary so widely between the US and the rest of the world. Without knowing anything else about your locale, I can only speculate that your restaurant industry is either far more exploitative than the US and keeps prices low by underpaying workers, or the people who profit from the businesses are slightly less greedy and allow a more generous portion of the budget to be allotted for pay.

  The US, famous for it’s suicide nets to stop restaurant employees, couldn’t possibly be matched for exploitation of workers by any other current country. The notion that other countries could be more exploitative is laughable, in fact.
  
  Hang on a second, I’m being passed a note…
  
  Well this is embarrassing, it turns out those suicide nets are on Apple’s China factory, where the 996, or 9a-9p 6d/w, work schedule is quite the norm.
