Fair? Yes, it's fair.
If you don't pay people enough, they won't come to work and they won't take the job seriously and will walk out the door whenever they want.
If you pay them more, they will work when you ask (or tell) them to work, and they won't refuse to work weekends.
If you pay well, you can fire someone who refuses to work weekends, and hire the next person in line who wants your well-paying job. That's how it works. That's what is fair.

If someone doesn't care about their job then they are too good for it. If you don't need it, if it's not worth it to you to go to work, you are too good for it.
If I'm 18 and I want to go away for the long weekend and my boss says no, I can decide if the job is worth it to keep, or if the weekend is worth it to have. If he pays me well, it's probably worth it to keep. If he pays me crap and I know I can go get another job on Tuesday that will also pay me crap, then let's go to the lake.
You used to work at McDonald's. Why don't you work there anymore? Because the job was too good for you?
