10 hours of labour to afford a pizza


Jizza Hutt workers can enjoy this lovely large pizza for dinner everyday @HK$208 each. They however need to work 10 hours at Jizza Hutt's hourly wage of HK$21.40 (US$2.80). This is the lowest of HK's major fast food chains so the workers will need to put in some overtime.

Jardines Group which now runs Jizza Hutt in HK, has moved on from running opium to selling pizzas to the natives but in their greed for profits they overlook Henry Ford's idea of paying the workers enough to afford their products.

But then, their worker serfs can just settle for the regular sized pizza and break even with only one day's work.
