Exactly, if the quartely profits are there then the company has no excuse. Actually they do but it's just greed.

Ah yes, the infamous greed of In-N-Out who pays more than the average software developer salary for their store managers.

There's a lot of companies that suck, but In-N-Out and Costco are two of the fairly well known examples of just how fairly large and successful companies could treat their employees if they weren't leeches.

I was talking in general, for example John Deere a few years ago had a worker's strike and management made a deal with the union (workers didn't get what they asked for but they got some concessions) days or 1 day before earnings were made public and it turns out the company could have afforded to pay far more than even the workers' full demands. The reason they didn't was greed and the reason they partially capitulated right before the earnings report was fuckery. Or leechery. Definitely dishonest and cowardly, whatever it was.
