You greedy fucks are also not considering folks that are on commission and work against their wage.

Your local car salesman is going to earn less if you push $15 per hour and he does more for society then Loranda that cleans up your hotel room.

Yeah, I've only had real jobs that weren't reliant on swindling as much money from customers without their knowing as possible. I wonder why most people loving hate salesmen and can't wait for the day they are all replaced by robots? What could it possibly be about them they dislike?

hahahahahahahahaa

you can't be serious. If you think that about sales then you p dumb. Unless you work for the government, your job is reliant by the success of your companies sales force and marketing team. This is why salesmen make 3x more, on average, then anyone else in their company, of course c level execs make more but they are worth it.

Stay the drone bud.

HEH HEH I beat that greedy car sales man, I bought my new Audi for $34.5k instead of $35.5k. gently caress him.

Meanwhile car salesman doesn't give a poo poo about the price, just wants the sale.

Consumers are more greedy then salesman, fyi

Go to truecar.com. Look at price. Go to dealer, pay price. Done. I guess hovering awkwardly while a customer fills out paperwork is worth 75k a year. That makes sense.

I think you are functionally retard about how business is done.

Most sales folk are b2b not b2c. There aren't many b2c sales roles that sales pros will take, only car sales since the pay is competitive to selling new EHR software or whatever in a b2b role.

For all considered purchases, like cars, the need for a salesman will always be necessary.


EDIT: Also, do you not consider the one man e-com business that list products on Amazon as a salesman? Cuz he is.

That isn't why people want the minimum wage increased. They want the minimum wage increased because it currently doesn't match the present-day cost of living. Cost of living has skyrocketed and minimum wage has barely budged.

All people are trying to do now is raise the minimum wage so that it matches the current cost of living. Then when the cost of living goes up, hopefully minimum wage will go up with it as steadily as it rises.

so when wendy's labor cost goes up 5-10%, they're just going to make less money about it? the CEO would get fired for doing that. the costs are going to get passed on to the customer, increasing cost of living to eat spicy chicken

the cost of living is already going up while the minimum wage has stagnated, that's what the entire idea of increasing minimum wage is about. how do people not get this.

because the companies determining how much it costs to live are incentivized to charge as much as you will pay to eat poo poo and not a cent less.

forcibly nationalize wendy's and its physical in-country assets, offering a one-time take-it-or-leave-it settlement to shareholders along with an assisted transition to creating new corporate entities for international assets that cant be physically seized to placate concerned interests abroad, dont let them pass those costs on and use the wendy's profit margin to stock the federal coffers
