It is a move to improve Carl's food quality, which sucks. He is just using the minimum wage as an excuse.

Lol. The last thing Puzder is worried about is food quality. One of the first things that he and his gang did when they wrested control of Carl’s Jr away from the founder was to lower the quality of Carl’s once-excellent food. The Puzder model has been to substitute soft-porn advertising for a quality product that sold itself.
Don’t know where you live, but the closest Carl’s to me is in Carson City, Nevada. Would eat there more often if I lived closer. Great food, IMO.
Never had a bad meal at a Carl’s when I lived in So Calif for 29 years, either.
“He is just using the minimum wage as an excuse.”
Doesn’t it make sense to hire fewer workers when the minimum wage is $15/hour than when it is 7$/hour? Doesn’t automation make more sense when wages are $15/hour than when it is $7 per hour?
McDonalds is automating ordering. Self check out lines are being put in place at grocery stores, Home Depot, and probably other places that I don’t happen to frequent.
It costs money to put that equipment in. As a consumer, I don’t like self check out lines. So why are companies automating the check-out process. Well, it’s pretty much what you would expect after all this talk of paying a “living wage” and “raising the minimum wage” - outlawing lower paying jobs.
Should we be surprised when the government outlaws low paying jobs and employment goes down?
