“We think we’d need to increase menu prices by something like 50 percent. It’s not something we’ve done before. It’d be catastrophic.”
...oh now that’s easy to fix! Anybody who eats at White Castle will get a raise to whatever amount they need to cover the cost! WC will just to know where all of their customers work and talk with their employers. See? Easy!!
This issue best demonstrates the complete ignorance of the American public. But the same idiots will complain when they go to the grocery store and only 2 out of 15 lanes are open! The same idiots will complain when the “value meal” costs twice as much. The same idiots complain when their teenager who just wants to get a little spending money and experience working in the real world can’t find a lousy job. This country is so flipping nuts right now I can’t stand it. Every day feels like I am on some hidden camera show or the Twilight Zone! The minimum wage is completely pointless! The people who should be out there marching against this are the employees who have shown they can do the job, who make more than the minimum wage and now will have to work part time, you know, to “spread the wealth” with lazy and new, unproven employees.
