@@Alex-qh5wn That's easy for you to say. They have to make a profit or they go out of business. You know what they're financials look like? There whole business model is to make quick and cheap food. If you raise the cost of labor too much, the whole model breaks down. Meaning you can no longer survive. Which also means people lose their jobs. Lots of people.

@@seanskelton866 Mcdonalds could afford to pay their workers double what they currently do and they will still make a large profit. The idea that they are tightly budgeted and investing in the betterment of their corporation is false.

yep ...............

Yup. "Economy of Scale" is a nasty weapon. Back in the day when Walmart was taking over small town America, they had a business model where new stores operated in the red for their first 5 years, and were entirely floated by other stores so they could keep their prices insanely low. Its impossible to compete with that, so everyone else closed down. Then, the prices went back up after all the local competition was gone.

Plus, most big chains don't prepare the food on site. It's shipped in frozen and they either throw it in the oven or microwave. I interviewed at one in the 90's and the only thing they prepped there was their onion rings.

I don’t get it? Minimum wage increases doesn’t raise your standard of living. Everything increases in price and other industries demand increases. You want more money in your pocket, vote for less taxes

Shes not crazy. shes just ignorant!

This is where I wonder wht they learn at college or life for that matter.

The minimum wage law does not apply to businesses with under 60 stores nationwide. That said, at least where I live, the family-run delis are run by Asians, whom I suspect prefer family and friends over other workers!

Failed history huh.

Most are also run by franchisees, not the corporation itself. Example: 90-95% of McDonalds are owned by franchisees (their own website sites both numbers), not by 'big old meanie' corporate McDonalds. McDonalds is a real estate firm, supply chain and marketing corporation at this point. A lot of franchisees are on razor thin margins, barely seeing any actual profit for their investments.

100% Correct. This type of job used to be geared toward workers such as young workers who were wanting to show they could perform a job (arrive on time, get along with co-workers, take direction from supervisors, etc...). They used this experience to obtain better paying jobs elsewhere or they could choose to try for a better job at that establishment. There are many people who have made a really good living at fast food restaurants, but simply working as the fry cook, janitor, or cashier shouldn't guarantee that the worker can live in that area's 4 BR 2BA house on that income alone.

​@@jayg1438 100% correct. Finally someone who understands how the franchise model works.

Her point was that mom and pop shops can do better than chains. In the same state. She did not compare California and North Carolina economies

If a person can't sustain themselves on it, then it should not exist. If the job is important, then it will pay what it needs to to get the labor done. Not be artificially propped up by excuses and kids living off their parents.

Exactly. You learned the ropes, got some experience, and moved on to something bigger and better. The idea of working at a McDonalds for life was looney tunes.

On top of that, these kids would leave the job within roughly 1 month.

This exactly, if the giant corporates cannot afford to hire someone for 20-25 an hour. the mom and pops will not have that money, and even in the spotlight they did, shows that the one mom and pop shop closed down due to not being able to afford the manditory wage increase.

What about the people making the lower wage? You can't just disregard them .. they have to be able to make a living.... McDonald's is super rich or the investors are super rich and they need to pay more

@@robertbrown1021 I remember when fast food restaurant counter and cook jobs were for teenagers and college kids, who planned to move on to higher paying or more skilled opportunities, and used it to get a start on their resume. It wasn't until the last 15 years that they all of a sudden became "careers" that needed full living wages. And mom-and-pops can't really survive in this environment at those prices either, kiddo. They don't have the negotiating power of buying in bulk to get lower prices from suppliers, and inflation has gone up so fast you literally CAN'T live off a mom-and-pop counter job (and no, I'm not talking managerial positions, I'm talking the waiters/waitresses, etc).

@robertbrown1021 There are many tax loopholes that make them more profitable. When the cost of labor increases, it causes more small businesses to close. This benefits McDonald's. If you look at a state analysis of small businesses you will find less in high minimum wage states. The only way to level the playing field is to eliminate the loopholes.

@@etainapgwynnedd827 agree!

@@etainapgwynnedd827 I remember that also but we were part time working doing anywhere between 15-20 hours a week, the issue is mom and pop stores can't afford to pay higher wages but McDonald's and other big food change can afford to pay the money. I know many Americans are struggling ( I mean many) but the wealth is going to the top 10% or 20%... Anyone working 40 hours week should be able to afford food and shelter minimum, the problem is once people can't afford to live they will start stealing and robbing others...

For my location it prices mostly stay the same or went down and they hired more. Few went up, and I live in a expensive coastal city. Same with other cities nearby. Here the thing it depends of who the franchiser is, and if their great at managing. I know personally franchiser that complain about paying for more workers in one store location. Yet on the same breath goes and and makes 1 or 2 new location in a expensive city that forces them to hire triple the amount of people on a slow day. While the location their whining about paying for more workers is a way smaller location, and they are recognize by corporate as the top growing money making places with great feed back and returning customers. So it no excuse to still force that whole narrative about wage increases. In the end of the day the franchisers are the ones causing these mass closures due to wage hikes. Like I been to a McDonalds in los Angeles the prices where decent for the location. Been to Vegas almost double or triple the price of the same meal. Lets be honest here Vegas don't raise their wages as often as California but at least California not all location raise their prices absurdly. look at in and out it only going up 25 cents.
