I can't tell if this is satire, so I'll respond to it as though it is not.

> How are you supposed to staff an incredibly shitty low paying job if people aren't literally starving?

Why should anyone be forced to do that shitty of a job? Why can't the wage be increased and/or the quality of treatment be increased?

> Offering more money or better working conditions is a nonstarter, they would rather just move the work offshore.

This works for things like software developers, but not for the majority of food & service industry.
