Then they don't get to exist. Lots of really shitty jobs disappeared when we first introduced minimum wage. They disappeared because they weren't profitable. You don't hear about getting rid of the minimum wage now to bring back those jobs. We found new better jobs, that are profitable and benefit both parties.

Capitalism raised us and forced us to see things we love fail due to "market forces" so why not expose those big capital players to the same conditions we all face? Be good at business or be out of business.

Tough shit. I have bills too.

"But some people just have a shitty work ethic" is not the counterargument you think it is.

As for the difference in what a big business can afford vs a small one, that's tough. But if you fall behind on the expenses of doing business, you should simply be charging more. If you still can't afford something, while charging a fair (both to customer and proprietor) price, then you don't get just handwave it off and hire someone for less than they're worth.

A lot of "mom and pop" shops stay in business for decades and finally bite the dust because they refuse to adjust prices that should be orders of magnitude higher due the ever-decreasing worth of money itself.

Instead they try to match prices with giant companies, while providing three times better services because they actually care about both customers and employees in a way corposhits "optimize workflows" too hard to even afford considering.

If you're a boutique business, charge like one.

What? People don't do a great job? Who are you talking about?

If that's the case, it's compelling. However, I'm gonna need to know how you came to the conclusion that people tend not to do a great job when they think they're paid what they're worth.

Sir, this is the Marxist echo chamber, not a place for reasoned discussion.
