Surely you didn't think that wages are commensurate with productivity, did you?
Perhaps the other workers are only worth $3 an hour, but must be paid a government inflicted minimum wage?

What $3M employer would hire a $3 employee at minimum wage?

There is a broad spectrum of qualifications and productivity, employers can get plenty of workers worth, say, $5-$6-$7 per hour and don't need to dip to the $3/hr level of worker.

Do you like to provide for those who refuse to provide for themselves?

Greatest thing about this thread is how everyone assumes THEY'RE in the provider class when nothing could be further from the truth. LMAO

This is all correct, but that that's not what you've been saying. You've been saying that employees (such as customer service employees) provide a way for profits to business owners. That just isn't so.

Customer service are what the customer sees. You can do all the advertising and what not you want but how the customers is treated by employees will affect if they come back or not and if they tell other people to shop or not shop at your store. If you can not get that basic concept there is no use arguing with you.

That is true but it does not make what I said false. They both need each other to succeed. To much value to employer okay get rid of the employees and wait for the business owners to beg for their employees to come back. Without their employees we would not have billionaires and millionaires since they would not have enough people to move, stock, sell there products. If WalMart had 5 employees the owner would at best be middle class not a millionaire.
