... a local burger joint outside of Detroit, Mich. is going to start to paying $15 an hour to new employees on October 1.
Moo Cluck Moo is currently paying its entry level employees $12 an hour, far above the state minimum wage of $7.40.
“We always wanted to be at $15 an hour. It just feels human to do it. It’s not an easy job to do.

Exactly Right!!!
“I have no problem with any of this as long as its voluntary”
Road to statism / totalitarianism (maximizing gap between rich and poor):
Pay more or the same for worse or fewer goods and services.
Produce worse or less relative to what you earn (either lack of productivity or artificial wage increases).
Total production decreasing, monetary costs increasing. Prices going up. Inflation rate high. Quality of life decreasing.
Decreasing wealth tends towards slavery.
Road to freedom (maximizing financial upward mobility):
Pay less or the same for better or more goods and services.
Produce better or more relative to what you earn (increase of productivity or work time).
Total production increasing, monetary costs decreasing. Prices going down. Inflation rate reasonable. Quality of life improving.
Increasing wealth tends towards freedom.
Yeah, you got it. We’re being ‘squeezed’ out of everything these days. All in favor of the big govt monopoly that is soon to destroy all our lives.
that is true.
Moo Chuck Moo knows how to make noise they got national attention.
Wonder what size work forrce they have? Sounds like a tight multi-tasking family group where your getting production out of them plus a high per unit pricing. Be very surprized if it was a franchise operation. Doubt if they offer a $2.00 anything maybe a small coffee.
At $15 hr at least the employer can be pickier about who he hires because the field will be larger. I suspect that racism, of course, has motivated the rise in wages there.
He will blame it on the bad attitude of his departing greedy customers.
It will all go to a good cause, the mechanization of the fast food joints. The be employee in each McD will be a skilled techie who can maintain the equipment, until he gets replaced by an algorithm.
This is satire, right?
If he is able to compensate for the higher wages by being able to hire fewer but more productive employees then he may be doing it right.
Has everybody forgotten about Henry Ford and the $5/day wage?
The financial oligarchy that is new world order uses unions in “capitalist” nations...
to do the “dirty work” of smashing small competitors.
Exactly!
Oh, I agree. As long as he isn’t getting taxpayer money, he can spend it any way he likes. :)
IIRC, the #1 business expense is usually wages. We'll see how long Moo-Cluck-Moo stays in business.
My guess is it won't make it a full year.
As for the general concept of low-skill/no-skill workers demanding $15/hour jobs -- technology has already solved that problem.
why dont the dopes that own this joint pay their workers to stay home and not come to work at all ?
also why dont they give free food to anyone who walks in and asks for it ?
idiots.
Paying $15.00/hour is still not enough to pull those deadbeats off welfare. If you’re on welfare you make equivalent to $30.00 hour. How in the hell does anyone expect to drag the “takers” off of their gravy train if paying a meer $15.00/hour? (sarc)
Wait till they see the price of a burger but look quick because the business will be closed VERY SOON.
“Moo Cluck Moo”? Only a liberal could come up with a name like that.
I just looked at the menu. With them paying 12 bucks an hour for their employees they only charge 3 dollars for a moo cluck burger meal. McDonalds who pays 7.50 charges over 7 bucks for a burger meal. Something’s not right. I doubt that your post will happen. From 3 dollars to 11.50....are you just being dramatic?
It’s their business decision so they shouldn’t be criticized any more than the burger joint that pays minimum wage. If they can make their business plan work at $15 and hour then more power to them. If they can’t then they’ll know soon enough.
