"Starting April 1, 2024, the minimum wage for the state's 500,000 fast-food workers will increase to $20 per hour. The average hourly wage in 2022 was $16.21."
I got blurb that said McDonald's would pay 23 or 24 per hour (accidentally deleted that and couldn't find it again--but I know it was 23 or 24.)
They already charge too much for the food. I stopped going, it's just not good enough food to pay that much for.
sharePretty much... It's actually healthier to skip lunch and intermittent fast, than it is eating expensive, processed foods that make you obese.
shareYou're right, they're almost up to restaurant prices for fast food. Fuck em.
sharehow much do they charge?
McDonalds is cheap as fuck in the UK , and cheaper still in US I thought.
£1.20 for a cheesburger. how cheap do you want it?
I think some of the value menu stuff is still cheaper like a plain cheeseburger but it really isn't edible. They've also made it so the sizes are smaller, but the main stuff is way more expensive then it was. I should not complain because now I don't even consider it when I'm rushing around.
shareManagers everywhere preparing for employees to request lowering of hours to maintain welfare benefits...
shareI can make a whole bunch of tacos with 20 dollars.
shareI just bought a JumboJack (no cheese) and it was just a patty in a bun--no ketchup, no lettuce or tomato-- nothing!
sharethe suffering will be legendary
shareThe SEIU public school cafeteria ladies will now be demanding a 30% wage increase.
sharePoliticians are too stupid to realize this is just going to result in MORE AUTOMATION and more JOB CUTS, and of course HIGHER PRICES. Liberal BS because the hidden agenda is the liberals want more "dumb people" and "young people" votes, in addition to pushing the Vegan agenda.
The only part I agree with is that might as well have corporations paying welfare rather than the State.
Corporations make such absurd profits they should be donating billions for social programs.
shareThat's basically one of the hidden agendas here, is to move those workers off welfare, by having corporations push them over the welfare ceiling. Then penalize people who eat fast food, because they're now having to pay higher prices.
shareThe hidden agenda is how people are too busy demanding things from their government, which is just a conduit for corporations, so they should skip the middle man and demand/boycott/protest them instead. Voting is useless now that the government is a uniparty pretending to fight over crumbs, while they feast.
shareThat entire segment of restaurants will be automated going forward. It’s also getting cheaper and cheaper to obtain the equipment and technology.
I can’t eat super processed food at my age. Fast food is a thing of the past for me.
