California Restaurants Cut Jobs as Fast-Food Wages Set to Rise

If a job can't support the working person, should it exist?

There are always multiple factors at play. Is pay for every 'low paying' job suppose to be geared towards someone who is 40 years old trying to support a family? Are kids who work summer jobs or get their first jobs at 16 suppose to be paid 'a living wage with benefits'?

The gov't forcing an increase like this allows those who have a job to earn more money. The trade off is less jobs as employers cut back hours and lay off workers as well as go more to automation, and an increase in the cost of what they are selling to consumers.

I agree that it's complicated.
I've seen the electric ordering devices that a lot of fast food chains are trying to get people to use.
Also, a lot of them have closed.

Except for Dunkin Donuts, which are everywhere around here, all of the chains have fewer stores than they did ten years ago.

You talk to very successful people and many of them can tell you about their first jobs that were far from sexy. But it teaches you responsibility, a certain level of independence, skills, make some money, learn financial responsibility and maybe it's a real bad job that inspires you to study hard in school so you don't have to do this for the rest of your life. You price the minimum wage so high and teenagers/young people with no experience will be less desirable employees which equates to less opportunities for them.

So yeah, there's a lot at play here.

"Loose"? :laugh:

Guess what? They're already paying fast food people twice the federal minimum wage here in this relatively low cost of living region, because otherwise they can't hire anyone. Nursing home aides are making more per hour than I made as a licensed nurse before I retired (14 years ago). Same reason.

$20/hour in California isn't squat. Here's an idea: if you feel so bad for these fast food joints, stop cooking at home and eat out every meal. Super size your meals. Please. lol

Then why not have more than one set of minimum wage levels?

Don't be so hard on our little cracker buddy, because he makes a point.

Eat too much fast food, and some things do get a little too loose.

Except of course for those clogged arteries. lol

I wonder if Toxic and her little Arbie buddy will now call YOU "the worst racist on this forum" for using the word "cracker" like Guno does? :rofl2:
