If you work at Timmy’s do a count of how many ice caps you make in a day. Multiply that by the cost. I guarantee on ice caps alone you make more value than you get back in your check

Libs learn about the labor theory of value and are like, “so what if people skim a little off the top? The business has overhead.” This is not skimming. Most people lose more than half of their labor value every day.

    The article says profit while the video says “all the money”.

    Did you mean the reverse? Didn't watch any videos, but the article states they were given "sales and tips"

      There's a Facebook video linked in the article. And there was discrepancy b/w the article title and content (profit vs revenue) so I checked it out.

        Eh, well in any case this is all splitting hairs I guess, sorry for starting the hairsplitting for no reason (personal flaw).

        Point is that the workers are generating a bunch of wealth and living in poverty of course.

          No problem, I've seen that point about it being revenue and not profit brought up a couple of times, so it's a valid concern. At least, putting a number makes it tough for libs and cons to say employers are only "skimming a bit from the top".
