4. How many minimum wage jobs are there in all industries?

If you want to boycott them all, be my guest.

I don't see that as feasible.

I realize people use another Faux outrage in order to put something else down, but that's not my style.

Have a nice day.

I know nothing about the minimum wage workers, I only know about the sub-minimum wage tomato pickers. I am too old for faux outrage and do not understand why you accuse me so.

Have a good life.

When a company acquires a bad reputation for economic exploitation or malfeasance, it frequently makes a feel-good gesture in a completely different area to distract attention away from its larger violations.

It should expand nationwide. Well, at least, in blue regions.

But know where it is, as I have walked by it often enough. I would much rather walk the few blocks to hit up Chinatown for a great lunch!
