Say hello to more kiosks.
Too many people have never learned that the real minimum wage is $0.
Congratulation for pricing yourselves right out of work CA.
Talk about a Pyrrhic victory...
Robots or Shut down and retire.
They're already using them where I live. Or at least McDonald's.
Back in the 1970s when I was going to school, I could get an Egg McMuffin for under a dollar.
The “Fight for $15.00” win gave them $3 to $4 for a loaf bread (for the cheap stuff). Guess what the win on the “Fight for $20.00” will bring them?
I was going to respond to this article. But the thought of trying to convince people that the rise in their wage means the rise in everyone else’s which means that the cost of doing business and employing people rises which means that the costs of doing so will be passed on to the customer in terms of higher prices for the products which these minimum wage employees will now have to pay on everything they buy which means their mandated raise has F’d them ... well, I’m just worn out.
Say HELLO to fewer fast food locations.
For years, the simple white sandwich bread—store brand—at Wal-Mart was 84 cents.
Last week was $1.38
I already do not go to fast food restaurants because of the costs. would rather pay fifty dollars for a steak then 25 dollars for a stupid hamburger fry and shake. watch fast food disappear
As Thomas Sowell is wont to say, “The real minimum wage is always zero.”
If that’s a win ,., I guess wheelbarows full of cash will be winning BIG , just like Weimar Germany .
A loaf of bread will soon cost a days wage at this rate.
This will be good for Mexican restaurants because they can pay their workers less.
“Congratulation for pricing yourselves right out of work CA.”
They may price themselves out of work in Rio Linda, but not San Jose and San Diego.
Robo-burger, here we come.
I live in a rural area...There’s some fast food places....but better burgers at Mom and Pop places.
They have put in place all the infrastructure for online service and in store automation during Covid and were actually forced to do so by the Biden /Democrat engineered labor shortages
And Cali crazy land is already the worst place to have employees due to workers comp, disability, unemployment insurance, job place liability and other mandates that kill employers
Employment opportunities in fast-food are going to be limited in California and affordability is already borderline with a Big Mac meal near $15 in some areas of California
