What does qué remedio mean?

ExpressionNeutro

what choice do I have

Accepting something you dislike because there is no alternative. It is not quite a complaint: it is the point at which complaining has been given up as pointless. Very Spanish, and nearly always said with half a smile.

—¿Trabajas el sábado? —Qué remedio.
Resignation, and the end of the discussion.
