Personally, I think more money would motivate people to work more. If mickey d's doubled their pay rate I bet they could run their stores with 1/3 as many employees. People would give a fuck about their jobs, then.

Think about some moron desperate enough to work for the $7, right, he hates his job and is paid like a slave.. is he a productive employee??

I have only had employees once, but, I went through enough $6 an hour morons to know this is true. I got some other motherfuckers, paid them a few dollars more an hour, and gave them a bonus at the end of the day when they had worked hard.

We made a lot more money with the motherfuckers we were paying pretty much twice as much because they gave a fuck

My father when he was building shit and cleaning up murder and other crime scenes in philly, he went in and hired all of the black guys who were being fucked over by their unions and all of that shit.. paid them real well... they would, to this day, do absolutely anything for him.

Appreciation in business can be shown in one way. Financially. A pat on the back or a slap on the dick ain't enough. Thank you? Means nothing. Thank you, here's some extra money or here's a decent paycheck for a job well done? Means everything
You do make a decent point here.

Say McDonland's started paying $15 per hour. In theory the pool of potential employees they would have to choose from would get much bigger and would including higher quality people and people who were willing to work their asses off. They could theoretically have smaller crews and be more productive. They likely wouldn't have the amount of turnover they have as well.

The question is would the savings of hiring a potentially smaller, better crew that had low turnover end up costing the company the same or less than if they continued doing it as they do.
