They do what they have to do to keep their businesses running. They have to pay all of the overhead, the staff, taxes, etc. I understand that their not just forking out $2.13 an hour and cackling gleefully at the gobs of money they take in.

I agree with the rest of your post, but paying 2.13 an hour isn't "what they have to do to keep their businesses running." They could easily pay more and increase the cost of the food. Instead we're left with artificially depressed food prices and are expected to fill in the gaps in pay for the employees.
