A business does not exist for the sake of employing your kids and paying her enough to be on MTV cribs. They exist to make a profit selling their wares and stay in business. If your kid doesn't work there, they next one will. There is no shortage of people needing jobs.
The repeated rationale that a business should be thinking of anything beyond staying in business is absolutely comical. Their first priority is profit and staying afloat. The market and a person's skill level decides what employees are paid. If they need to entice workers they offer higher pay, or benefits to attract better candidates for the positions offered.
I am not going to pay someone $15.00/hour to flip a burger, answer a phone, or anything I can find someone unskilled off CL to come in and do with a day's worth of training. If you can be replaced by a CL ad, then you never had a skilled position in the first place and should be paid accordingly.
