Thanks for detailing the companies at the end of this article that do this purposely. I will do everything I can to avoid patronizing their establishments. Why is it always the richest people trying to nickel and dime the poor people or the middle class? Most of us just want to be comfortable. Being rich would be great, but I just strive to be comfortable and that's what most people want. To see how far a corporation is willing to go to screw someone out of 3k in overtime pay is astonishing to me. I own a small business and I try and pay my employees as much as I possibly can and give them bonuses every chance I get. I want to spread the wealth, not horde it all for myself.

That is how to properly run a business in my opinion. Let your employees know that they're valued not just by saying things or just in performative gestures such as giving an employee pizza party. You should do things like that periodically. But the best thing is to let them know in their pockets, as you do!

As former president Obama said (& was pilloried for) "you didn't build that!" At least, not by yourself!
