I’m not sure this would impact tipping as they don’t make minimum wage now, the tips more than compensate - which is why they get so little per hour. It’ll be the fast food chains hit hardest. They’ll either automate more things, like order entry, or raise prices. Those that raise prices will see a quick sales drop. People will go to more diners, get better food and pay the same, even with a tip.
...result is either bad or worse for fast food employees. All the jobs will disappear one way or the other.
well maybe if it weren't for all the increases in the cost of living, obamacare penalties, regulations that are causing us to pay fees we never paid before, jobs lost to illegal immigrants, etc...
What a clueless idiot...
that's the European model. Little or mo tipping because the service sucks in restaurants. You will wait an hour and a half to two just to get our food. That's the way the NWO Illuminatists want it; everything regulated uniformly across the globe...
nah I think he'll be more like a multi-billionaire by the time he collects his destruction of America bonus from Soros and liquidates his campaign funds
The only acceptable minimum wage for someone who dropped out of high school at 16 and is trying to raise a family of seven is at least $100/hour. It is the employer’s obligation to teach the employee to read, tell time, brush teeth and vote for Democrats. I miss America.
“the fact that they may be paying an extra dollar for a burger, would feel OK,”
I don’t recall ever buying anything off the $2 menu.
Article from August, 2015:
In June of last year, the Seattle city council passed a $15 minimum wage law to be phased in over time...
The chart below shows that the Emerald City MSA started experiencing a decline in restaurant employment around the first of the year (when the state minimum wage increased to $9.47 per hour, the highest state minimum wage in the country), and the 1,300 job loss between January and June is the largest decline over that period since 2009 during the Great Recession (data here).
In contrast to the January-June loss of restaurant jobs in the Seattle area: a) restaurant employment nationally increased by 130,700 jobs (and by 1.2%) during that same period (data here)
Obama is dumber than you can imagine.

The tax for family of four earning $7.25 or about $15,000 a year are zip plus they can have unearned credit and other deductions to receive more than they paid in
With a wage of $15 per hour or $31,200 a year now no more unearned credit and they pay a fairly large tax
Minimum wage increase only helps the government for it lets them collect more
The days of amateurs running this country are over....
That, or they will just not go there.

Will we accept it? We don’t have a choice.
It’s easy to say for someone who lives like a king.
Obama must be over....... the sooner the better
