Fired over WhatsApp for asking if an increase in responsibility could result in a raise from minimum wage

Context: this is an all-vegan, minimal waste hipstery pub in East London, that prices a bowl of fries at £4.50, but pays it's staff £9.50/hour. The London Living Wage is £11.95. I recognise that this probably wasn't the right platform to start the conversation on, and that a raise all the way to LLW was unrealistic BUT – I didn't expect that an attempt to get the dialogue started would go down quite like this.
