I think it's come up time and time again but it would seem companies who offer 0 hour contracts are simply using public money to line their pockets by proxy. By fucking over an employee, sorry, "franchise holder", and forcing them into food-banks or on top up benefits, they are enabling their own profits by forcing people who work for them to claim the extra required just to be able to live from the government or from the kindness of strangers.
These people often can't work 2 jobs due to family, or do work 2 jobs putting their family life down the shitter, and we're supposed to be a 1st world country promoting all the luxuries of capitalism.
