That's a talking point that never gets old. They said the same thing when minimum wage went from $4.75 to $5.25. Yet, McDonalds like others continued having dollar menu items for a long time.
California $20 minimum wage for fast food workers start on April 1 2024
- Thread starter Big Simpin Losing Cheese
- Start date

McDonalds’ CEO is paid $8,543.27 an hour.
Burger King’s CEO is paid $56,250 an hour.
Domino’s CEO is paid $4,875 an hour.
Throwing that out there before anyone starts complaining that $20 an hour is too high.
Thanks.

I'm really starting to question that. The fast food industry has done nothing but expanded the last few decades. That doesn't happen when businesses are barely making it. Not to mention most don't have 40 hour workers, pay benefits, and get away having certain workers getting paid primarily from tips.

They already have. Many restaurants seen a significant increase in business with take-out orders since covid and they still don't increase staff to meet the demand. On top of that, they are making their money and still closing early now.
congratulations and god bless them

That’s always been the counterpoint. When everyone has more money, shyt just gets more expensive across the board. Enjoy them 7 dollar Big Macs

He works at taco cabana though. Do they have those in Cali?
People ignore rising prices until folks start getting paid more.

breh. I remember .29 and .39 burgers. That shyt was dead by the time I reached high school.
Prices have BEEN going up.
Don’t be fooled by them saying they have to increase prices at the rate they have been lately because of increased wages. I worked damn near a decade in the restaurant industry. I know what time it is

Bringing up those CEO's pay is a bit disingenuous considering that a lot of those fast food chains are franchised owned and not corporate.
They don't make the type of bread or margins to justify the costs.

Ehh, it’s a talking point that’s real. Out here, they already had push labor costs through - it already a costs $10-13 for a combo at McDonald’s at the local min wage which is like $15-16, and they said they will be raising prices. I don’t eat fast food enough to care, but spending $17 on a meal at McDonald’s when you can get a better meal from a casual spot out here for that same $15-20

minimum wage is already $15.80 up here, so them getting $20 doesn't surprise me in california.
Imagine an Mexican in American trying to talk down on American fast food workers like they’re beneath you
Not trying to be mean or nothing just realistic

I’m so interested to see what’s going to happen with wages and costs in the next 30 years.
Corporations siphoning the resources from everyone, only to stockpile them, meanwhile costs continue to outpace wages, so the acceptable reduction in quality of life buffer for the majority of the country, is reduced. Eventually the capacity for reduction in quality of life is going to wither away and there won’t be a buffer left, and I want to see the result. Hopefully I live long enough.
And I only pay $7 for my 1/4 pound burger my fries and bubbly beverage. Can’t imagine paying $17.

Fast food hours will be cut
Places will be closing 3 to 4 hours earlier than normal
Hours going to be cut and the larger companies who used to have 2 or 3 locations within a 10 /15 minute radius will close down one or 2 locations and probably relocate a few workers to the most busiest location
