Just saw this flash across NBC "news".
So hey, kids, wanna make $15 an hour flipping chicken patties? Move to Detroit. Let me know how that works out for ya.
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.
Great way to launder drug money or hide other criminal activities. If they do not go out of business... they are a front.
I guess we will see how that works out for him. I doubt anyone will want to pay 10 or 11 bucks for fast food. It is suicide for a business owner with a low quality product.

I think any employer should be able to decide what they want to pay....I don’t think the govt. should have any thing to say in it. The market place should decide what a job is worth!!!
At 15 bucks an hour in Detroit, the employees can save up to buy an entire city block within a couple of weeks.
Wait until the NAACP see’s that there are 10 white employees...that’s it. Didn’t see a tanned face on their Facebook page...They looked clean cut...probably drive BMW’s their parents bought them..all is well in Dearborn Hts. MI
People have been talking about how the physical and paper precious metal markets are “decoupling”. When the same thing starts to happen with physical currency and electronic payments, look out.
It is already happening a little — do you pay extra for credit card transactions? Many stores give a cash discount. This means that those using credit cards and EBT cards pay more.
EBT — Electronic Benefits Transfer. The government will start delaying payment to stores that accept them. They will automatically tax them. They will discount the payment based on this or that, etc. Vendors will give bigger cash discounts.
Ask the little stores you frequent if they give a cash discount. If they don’t, flip out your credit card. They’ll catch on. Once they start discounting based on method of payment, gold, silver, and barter will be next.
It is already happening.
What is on the dollar menu?
If it’s a high end burger place, and they have sharp-looking staff, and great service, they’ll do fine. But, then people should remember that they are paying up to be selective in their hiring.
That will give them good press, and everything will be OK until some slob in some protected class cries “discrimination” because they weren’t hired, or were fired for not being up to snuff. The libs and unions want “gimmee” money, whether in the form of free stuff, or over-payment for work.
Look at the cushy life of many double or triple-dipping state employees. Recall how some police are able to base their retirement on the last year’s earnings, so they juice them by working 100-hour weeks full of “detail” overtime. We are headed to a government apparatchik upper-class run society, who milks all below them.
They’ll been closed within six months.
In Detroit? Do I get combat pay also? Pay for hazardous duty? Can I carry also? Dunno, rather make minimum wage somewhere else.
