Experienced fast food workers will get paid more.

Looks like my friend with the commercial garage will continue to have to work alone because he can't afford to train a high school kid and pay them that kind of money.

And this is going to have a ripple effect in every section of the service industry.

@Gefn

How does that bookmark thing work?

I am assuming the "ribbon" doo-dah is the bookmark symbol?

 Sooo...I wonder what the cost is going to be of one of their hamburgers that you barf up anyways?
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

OH no, the fountain drink is the highest profit item on the menu, that's why they can bullshit people into thinking they are getting a deal with $1 drinks. Even at a dollar they are making probably 75 cents profit, it was higher in my olden days. So a QSR might con people into a buy a burger and fries(another high profit item) and get a free drink, an offer you will se far and wide but ain't nuthin free.

Another thing you can bank on with these higher wages is a lower level of service and cleanliness because there are only two ways to pay for those wages and benefits, since the good old days of increased traffic are long gone with all the competition, and that's as you noted higher prices and lower staffing. Lower staffing will guaranty two results high turnover do to excessive work load and with that turnover even worse service and cleanliness which will be the straw that broke the higher menu price camels back. Ask me how I know.

Yes, it actually is. I use it if the thread seems very interesting but I can’t think of a comment at said time. This way I’ll see the thread later and hope I’m able to give a comment at that time.

@sneakypete

Not a fan of MickyD’s. I can think of a few chains with better burgers.

All part of the Dim plan to devalue the dollar in order to make even more people dependent on the goobermint,so the goobermint eventually takes over complete,unquestioned total control.

The goal is globalism,with the elites being the modern equivalent of Kings and Dukes,and as we all know,Kings and Dukes need peasants.

OBEDIENT PEASANTS BECAUSE EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE GOOD WILL OF THEIR OVERLORDS.

This is how to do that without a fight.
