If you can't afford to pay a liveable wage then you can't afford to stay in business.

I find that people that say this are the kind of people who won't pay a liveable price for products either though

If a small business is offering a good meal for $30, and a big chain is offering a poor quality substitute for $20, the vast majority opt to line the pockets of billionaires while moaning about the prices of the small businesses

That would be because the people buying the meals also need to be getting paid a liveable wage to be able to afford the better meal. People don't choose worse food by choice if they can afford the good food.
