People make hundreds of dollars a day standing on street corners begging. Tax free.

That’s more than minimum wage.

Ah, stink. That’s getting pretty high. It’s wild seeing how expensive fast food has become.

More proof democrats (rats) destroy everything they touch.

There’s not a single thing rats do that help humanity. Nothing.

The actual Salary increase is no more than 25% of the cost to the employer.

Employers TAX Contribution for Employee’s
Workers Comp
Liability Insurance

all go up at least 25% also, maybe more.

It’s also a stealth tax increase on the “most vulnerable.”

...a new law is scheduled to kick in giving more financial security to an historically low-paying profession ...

So flipping burgers is now a "profession"? I was raised differently.

Here’s what you need to to know:
1. It won’t be enough. They will start screaming “We need a livable wage” and start saying then need $30.

2. You won’t be able to afford fast food but once a month.

3. For many fast food workers, their new wage will be $0/hour.

Bingo. It’s a first job for teens to learn to show up on time, develop a work ethic and build customer skills

These are NOT career jobs to support a family.

In their typical fashion, liberal kooks ignore reality and attempt to distort it with everything turning to shit when they are done.

its not the workers fault....

its sad that we have gotten to the point where govt mandates wages instead of business paying out better wages....

otoh, business has no qualms about paying some washed up creep qb to do million dollar commercials or to pay their CEO's hundreds x more than the worker bees...

its all about destroying small businesses however and govt is doing a fine job of it....

our only recourse is to give our business to locally owned and operated places instead of all being funneled into national brands.

Young people shouldn’t be wasting their time on this type of employment, no matter the pay.

Labor shortages will continue over the next two decades as an “old globe” dies off.

Random In N Out comments

I never see an In N Out where there is not a line.

There employees seem to have a higher IQ than at the other places.

HS labor is being priced out of the market. And we wonder what kids are up to these days.
