I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I’m naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It’s literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits.
I cancelled my order and got local street tacos instead.
You voted with your wallet. That’s how capitalism is supposed to work.
except actual voting is 1 person = 1 vote. shareholders, corporate conglomerates, and lobbyists have made it that 1 person gets millions upon billions of votes. when we do vote with our wallets and buy from the places we want to support, the corporations always win in the end. either by buying them out, or because what we supported decided to cater to shareholders instead of customers. just look at what happened to reddit
That’s how free markets work. Free markets and capitalism are different things.
If capitalism worked Buffalo Wild Wings wouldn’t exist. Trash food. Go to a local pub or something.
We don’t have pubs in the area next to my local BWW. Lots of places don’t have pubs.
Ya that makes sense.
Capitalism does work in the voting with your wallet. However there’s two things that tend to get in the way. Laziness and mergers. Either customers don’t care and/or all your other opinions got bought out.
You forgot regulatory capture and socialism for the business owners
