What a beautiful state to be destroyed by California leftists.
IIRC, McBLM is already experimenting with self-service kiosks in some locations and it’s cutting operating costs down quite a bit.
How does that work, anyway? Is it a kitchen with an automated window? (I don’t see how they save much, there -—
they never have enough counter help to begin with). Do you go into an enclosed space, and a machine dispenses the elements of my big Mac, and I have to put it together? (Or do they have tiny little robots inside a machine, prepping food as fast as they can?) Just wondering.
I make this guy’s recipe for Schlotzsky’s regularly. He’s got it down pat, imo. Haven’t tried his Taco Bell recipes.
I also make a low carb Big Mac salad that hits the spot.
What copycat recipes do you make?
Spoken like a typical Nebraska jerk.
That God for copycat recipes. We make our favorites at home now.
I want to know where you get that gray, tasteless hamburger meat, and the 23 chemical ingredients McDonald’s puts in their fries? And WTH is that mystery “meat” taco bell uses?
Texas Roadhouse Chili, Panera’s Autumn Squash Soup, Red Lobster’s biscuits from scratch, Cracker Barrel’s hash brown casserole...those are what I can think of right away. Prices have gotten so high, the cooking isn’t as good as it used to be, and the service so problematic it’s just better to stir my stump and fix it myself.
...guess they didn’t learn anything with Seattle mess...
We get the salads at MickeyDs, actually. Our local 5 Guys has ruined me for any other burgers.
The government does not have the right to set a minimum or maximum hourly pay rate.
It is just an ordering & paying kiosk. They work great - I love them. Last time I was there, I took a number at the kiosk & an old (very old) guy brought the food to my table. I said "Thank you" and that was the only interaction I had with a human.
And as far as Taco Hell goes, I’ve gotten pretty good at Mexican dishes, too.
“Makes for a miserable morning when you are the IT manager.”
And the IT support staff. WTH? No UPS on the Severs and critical network hardware?
So, is that why a burger cost 10 bucks in Colorado? The same burger cost $4 or less in Nebraska. But you go to the “perfect people” state, and - no matter where you eat - the prices are always in the stratosphere, even for the most simple food.
Colorado always was a self-absorbed, snob-infested rip-off. Hence the attraction to the coastal lib turds. But now, with the legalization of reefer in all forms, the omnipotent omnipresent state has created a populace made up mostly of pierced tattooed circus freaks, and clueless Gaia-worshiping burnouts.
Higher minimum wage means more money for legal pot.
More unemployment because of higher wage costs means more time to smoke legal pot.
I believe all it does is eliminates the need for cashiers so it will save on those salaries. I don’t know much of the details, sorry.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
We have to put a stop to amending the state constitution by a vote of 50% +1 of ill informed people.
Right back at ya.
“McDonald’s super saver special: 2 cheeseburgers - $18.95.”
Naw, they’ll just up the sawdust levels in their meat and cheese!
The article is BS. First of all, Colorado has tons of laws protecting small business and exempting them from minimum wage. For example, if your McDonalds franchise has less than 50 employees, you are exempt from minimum wage laws. Instead, there are lower wages that restaurant are paid. Secondly, State minimum wages tend to be lower than Fed. Min. Wage.
In sit down places, it’s even worse. Waiters are paid just a couple bucks an hour while bus boys are paid minimum wage. The waiter has to pay the bus boy the going tip rate as a percentage of what the waiter earns for tips. So if the going tip rate is 20%, the waiter has to work over 20% of her tips to the bus people. The problem is, it’s not based on what the bus person was actually paid in tips, but on 20 % of sales attributed to that waitress. She may have put 60 bucks in her pocket Wich reflects 10% of her sales, but she HAS to contribute the 20% she SHOULD have earned.
If at the end of the week, he hasn’t earned minimum wage average, the biz owner is supposed to make up the difference, but they don’t. And they won’t.
So for a restaurant owner to jack up prices under the pretext of increased wages is a LIE.
When min. Wage was 5.25/hr., Wait staff was paid $1.80 per hour. Fast food places pay more, but are still protected from full min. Wage and the small business protections.
Point is, the article is a lie...propaganda BS.
And Denver already charges an arm and a leg for food anyway. I have yet to have a good meal there unless you call chain restaurants good or excellent. I don’t.
