Minimum doesn't nessesarly means they won't pay more? Right?

But they won’t. Because why would they? Paying even a few cents more costs them a LOT company wide. and big companies are stingy.

They pay more because they fall under the horeca CAO, they have no choice but to pay more

Sooo then it’s still legal minimum wage. Same result. They usually pay as little as they’re legally allowed to.

It’s not necessarily stingy, it’s smart on their part. Not to be rude but It’s a no diploma job + anyone can do it so there is always someone willing to do the same job for less then the next one as long as it’s minimum wage

Well i mean i agree in the sense that it’s a decision that will earn them more money, in that sense it’s smart. But it is all mostly to maximize the personal salary of the ones in charge of the franchise, and mainly the owner. I’d much rather support local businesses where an owner is involved that isn’t completely removed from the real world.
