Ah yes, the Disney method. They know that they have a fanbase so loyal that they'd pay Disney for the opportunity to work for them, so Disney takes advantage of that and pays the bare minimum acceptable.

And many Michelin-starred chefs, and it's very normalised because "what they learn from the very best is priceless". Which is true but also no excuse for precarious wages.

Well, there's that, and also because (in the case of World) it's the largest single site employer in the country - whatever they're paying is literally the minimum wage everyone else can get away with paying, because Disney is always hiring for something and the vast majority of people can just go work there if they'd make more money. Their unions try, but Orlando is fucked.
