That would be nice if it were true, and in an ideal world maybe it would be. But this is already exactly how all the major retail chains you shop at do it: Wal Mart, Target, Home Depot, CVS, Walgreen’s, Best Buy, Dollar General, etc., etc., etc. None of them have gone out of business yet, quality of service or not. Everyone knows they’re crap and mistreat their workers, and yet there are no real competing alternatives, or if there are the competitors are exactly like them anyway, so here we are.

And everyone knows this is how big retailers do it, too. It’s an openly known that they over-hire and under-schedule and have nothing but part time employees so they don’t have to pay anyone overtime or provide health benefits. But nobody does anything about it.

Like, breaking up a big cash deposit to your bank into a bunch of little ones so you don’t have to report to the IRS is illegal, right So why the fuck is structuring your hiring and scheduling to evade overtime laws also not illegal for exactly the same reason?

We already know the answer, of course. Without oversight, these big corporations will do anything and everything to cheat and shortchange anyone they can to pocket the difference.
