I think there is more to it than that.
You can pay some slacker all the money in the world and they are STILL a slacker because they have no work ethic.
My guess is that getting hired at In & Out is probably a bit tougher than McDonalds. And if you are a slacker you get your ass fired.
The way it should be.
You instill a sense of work ethic and pride in the workplace and people will respond.
When I first got in this business I started a content company with a partner in the 1990's.
I spent a lot of time learning how to shoot and set up lighting. I did ALL the shooting for the company myself. I recruited all the girls myself. I sold the content myself. I did everything (my partner made the initial financial investment in equipment).
The entire time we had that company (from 1998 to 2002) I never paid myself a single dollar. I worked for free the entire time and made my living off of our TGP's.
I busted my ass. And did it all for free. I was building something. And it led me to where I am today.
THAT is how life is supposed to work. Not having money just handed to you for nothing.
