Higher wages is not a Chicago value then.
The C-F-L here in town is packed pretty much all day. Lunch time both drive through lanes are outside the parking lot and they have two workers outside with radios taking orders. Inside is standing room only.
Nothing succeeds like success...
"I was making $16/hour, but now I'm making $15 since that's what the legislature said was minimum."
Here’s the question - are they more productive because they are paid more or does the higher wage attract more productive people to begin with?
Here’s a quiz:
How much does a Chick-fil-A franchise cost?
No fair looking it up, give us your best guess. I’ll post the correct answer later.

Take a look at the typical CFA worker. Then take a look at the typical worker at other fast food places. You’ll see why they are more productive. That’s all I will say.
Henry Ford offered higher wages for assembly-line workers, not because he wanted his workers to be able to buy his cars as a popular myth maintains, but because higher pay resulted in lower turnover (and thus lower training costs). It also allowed him to retain JUST the people who were worth the higher pay, and fire the ones who had issues showing up on time and working hard.
Of course, Chik-fil-a will get hit over the fact that too many of their cheerful, hard-working employees are white, compared to industry average.
Just saw this report, on OAN.
Good for Chic Fil A.
Is Chick-fil-A coming to Vestal? If so, we need to talk about parking and traffic
And, on the flip-side, biz lose profit by over-paying for the menial jobs.
IE: What skills are required to “fill a fryer-hopper, hit a timer, lift & drain, empty & repeat” that necessitate $17+\hr??
Require performance, and reward it. A great business model.

When you go into one of their stores, and compare it to other fast food joints, one thing you'll notice other than the general demeanor of their employees is how many employees they have. I'm not saying they are overstaffed, as the franchises are a license to print money from what I understand, but they obviously have different scales with which to measure how many workers should be on a shift than say, a McDonalds or Burger King. I have to think that has something to do with how efficient and friendly everything seems to be.
