A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Also a huge fan of holding food chains accountable for fair pricing. Hope this becomes effective!

Most grocery stores are running at 2% profit margins. There isn't anything for this to be 'effective' for, except you just raise prices 10% across the board and pocket the extra from actual cashiers still being used. It sounds great on paper until you dig in and realize it's a completely asinine idea.
