Wow...imagine that. Sounds SO COMPLICATED, right? Have a clean and courteous business with good products and a well trained staff... Treat employees well, pay them a good wage with the promise of more opportunities ahead, and they'll be loyal, won't turnover very often, thereby saving you money and making you profitable.
Personally I have no problem with a employer paying their workers higher. there is room in this economy for all kids of businesses executing on all kinds of niches.
If you think such things are important, vote with your dollars as appropriate.
As for me, I prefer Amazon to Wal-Mart . . .wal-mart to any convenience store. . .and if I could save 5 cents a gallon on a automated pump system without anyone working there I would do it in their heartbeat
to each their own. How well a worker is treated by an employer (within certain norms such as no harassment, discrimination, etc) isn't something I worry about. As long as we are at will, i'm going to assume your working there because you want to. So really the only thing that matters to me is - how the worker treats me as a customer.

Also, when people are seeing an improvement in their lives from working for a fair wage, the better they will work and the more loyal they will be.
Remember this only the store manager they are talking about. There is only one of those in each store. Most store managers make pretty decent money and it goes by the COL of that given area. This isn't as unprecedented as all of you are making it out to be. It's good but not unprecedented.
often the implication is what works for one employer (QT or Whole Foods or Costco) would automatically work for all retailers serving all niches.
So . .I would only say that what works for QT may not work for Wal-Mart. . but it works for QT. So that is good for them, and i'm sure they get better workers than Wal-mart
I wasn't saying anything close to what you accused me of saying. I didn't say or even imply that they weren't being paid enough.
But that's ok Bammer. You'll figure it out eventually.
Then why did you say that in response to that post?
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, go ahead....let's here it...moer BS I'm sure...
BTW...I was born in a suburb of detroit.....
