lol

i dont know anything about in canada but in the us its sheltered work and not competitive employment. most of the people in question have severe mental disabilities and cant do actual work and need constant supervision. its not exactly a huge money maker or anything and its helpful treatment-wise for them to have something productive to do
THIS FUCKIN' XUY

and? im not sticking up for goodwill. they make a lot more off of exploiting volunteer labor than they do employing a person with a 58 iq that needs constant supervision for 6 hours a week.

theres a Chinese place down the street from me that i always make friends from out of town eat at (one of them even a New York Jew™) and all of them say its some of the best theyve ever had and that it has no business even existing here
littlegreenpills posted:*shrugs* clearly their margins aren't so tight that their whole business model would fall apart if they had to pay everyone who is employed, for money, by them at at least federal minimum wage. it isn't even pragmatically justifiable
i agree that goodwill is a very bad company that does bad things and is generally shady
getfiscal posted:most things in society i don't like have a half-logical reason for being like that which actually frustrates me more because it'd be nice if it were black-and-white sometimes.
i agree
someone who thinks they're too cool for new york talking about how they don't want to hear about new york

as someone familiar with the restaurantin' industry i know that its actually the high priced and "local landmark" places, not the hole-in-the-wall foreign-run upstarts, that have kitchens full of rat traps and dead bugs since theyre the ones that can afford to pay off the inspectors and have usually been grandfathered into the previous decades-old inspection standards
