1. Everytime I hear this I assume the business can't find people to work anyway when the excuse doesn't apply

2. If your underpaying people that's another problem

3. You're asking people to work during a pandemic. They're not putting their lives and fiances (who's going to pay for their hospital bill) to work for you

Most people don't get full pay on unemployment, it was a partial payment. $600 a week more for someone who was making min. wage is significant, that's an extra $15/hour.

Mass has a $12.75/hour minimum wage. I wonder how many people were making about minimum wage, there's always been an argument that min. wage was less than most adults make, but these owners are saying it wasn't true for them.
