Had a local McD’s that was going to be forced to raise wages to $10.10 an hour under Obama’s government contractor law. They closed.
I do know that customers will support paying enough for a double-double or a Chic-fil-A sandwich to support starting wages of $10.50 an hour.
An In-N-Out opened here in the fall of 2012, and a few months later in the beginning of 2013 a Chic-Fil-A opened. These two restaurants are right next to each other, were being built at the same time, and both advertised for employees stating starting wages were $10.50 an hour.
In-N-Out restaurants are all corporate owned. Chic-Fil-A is franchised. Both of these restaurants continue to do great business.
Government contractor law??
All the fast food outlets pay around $10.50 here starting and they do fine.
$15, however, is a big jump.
