They've also always had MUCH higher-than-average fast food #prices.
Portillo's can afford to pay better #wages, that's for sure. And their employees are among the most overworked & overstressed in the industry, from what I've seen.
It's currently owned by corporate giant #BerkshireProperties, after founder Dick Portillo sold the company (including several smaller restaurants, like #HoneyJamCafe) in 2014. #Berkshire went public in 2021.
My family has tended to be loyal customers, but we won't be crossing any picket lines, thank you-- not even for their chocolate cake.
I mean, we are seeing the greedy #CEOs wielding #AI right now as the multiple #strikes in #Hollywood roll along.
AI could be / should be a tool that helps humankind, but instead the assorted plutocrats and billionaires see it as a means to an end to lower costs and suck-up more money for themselves.
It’s maddening. But AI is not the problem, it’s the Gordon Gekko at the top who is the problem.
Labor experts, historians and economists weigh in on why so many workers across all walks of life are striking or taking some sort of labor action this year. #labor#strikes#work#economy

Yet another reason not to buy from #Amazon: Today you would be crossing a picket line, digitally.
"More than 1,700 Amazon employees have pledged to walk off the job on Wednesday, demanding more flexibility with #RemoteWork and more attention on Amazon’s #climate impact."
"#UPS’s 340,000 #Teamsters#union members said if their demands for improved working conditions – including #heat protections – are not included in UPS’s new five-year contract, they will be prepared to hold one of the largest single-employer #strikes in US history starting on 1 August."
#NHS England reports last month that 7.3mn patients had yet to start treatment. Of those, 359,798 had waited more than a year & 10,737 had waited more than 18 months!
#SteveBarclay will claim this is all about the #strikes, but as
