Just got back from circle k, they're doing a sales competition (location that sells the most cookies gets a bonus)
Cookies aren't so expensive that it's a problem to buy, but they're gas station cookies–how much could it have cost to make these in bulk?
Just frustrated that the majority of the profit from selling the cookies goes to shareholders and directors. They didn't bake the cookies, they aren't selling the cookies, they just own the company and told their workers “if you try harder, you *might* get paid more”. Everybody works harder except the people at the top and only a couple of people who are working hard gets some small share of the profit generated by working harder.
it's frustrating but I still bought the cookies at the end of the day, what can I do as a customer to directly help the workers and not the shareholders?
