That’s heartless to want people to lose their jobs when they were happy with their wages. You’re going to chip in and help them pay their bills?

Alternatively the company could’ve just exploited their labor less and dealt with slightly lower profit margins.
But the poor shareholders matter so much more than the workers that just want to pay rent and eat.

lol. You crack me up. As the article points out it made them unprofitable. So they laid people off or closed. You can’t take a lower margin when you’re already a negative margin.

If a business that pays their executives 2000x more than their average employee can’t pay their workers a living wage it’s either too mismanaged or greedy to continue.
That sucks for the workers for sure, but fast food is not a crucial business and as long as there is demand, another business will fill the void.
