Ok, what kind of bullshit attitude is that?

You don't want to pay people, because some people are less motivated? Yeah, that's your problem as a business. Give them a reason to work hard or stop complaining.

Mom and Pop can't afford to pay proper wages? That's their problem. If other businesses can afford good salaries, why can't they? Maybe their business is simply rubbish.

Think about what twisted Stockholm syndrome you're expressing here. Capitalism is once, for the first time in decades, on the brink of actually increasing the wealth slightly for the workers, and all you can contribute is "yeah, but then capitalists can't properly fuck the workers over and that's just really unfair to the businesses".
