Pizza Hut to lay off thousands of California workers

- Pizza Hut is set to lay off more than 1,200 delivery drivers in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties in the coming year, ahead of a new state law that boosts the fast-food minimum wage by $4 to $20 per hour.
Proving once again that the real minimum wage is $0.
Absolutely, $20 per hour x zero hours of work per week. 😐
wtf lmao 🤡😂
Make a competitor that’s better and prove to all these company owners they’re doing it wrong
@@eastbaykidd8574 $20 per hour means more pay for those who work fast food, and more employees for local small businesses, competitors, or other industries 👍
It also means less of a grasp of fast food giants on our food supply, city landscapes, and local economies which is a win for everyone.
@TK-gd9td they have. You see it in other first world countries, but somehow in America. It's impossible. Infact McDonald's and other fast food stores pay a lot more, but in America where anything is possible it somehow impossible to pay a living wage.
Weird how raising the minimum wage means some people who were gainfully employed now have zero income. Trickle up economics?
You mean trickle up to Sacramento?
I blame the company because Pizzahut is still making billions. They can afford to pay their workers a living wage. Boohoo the shareholders. They shouldn't matter.
Voting for the same party yields authoritarian results.
Weird that we have people living in their cars but still having to go work a minimum wage job
@@IvanHernandez-fc2qd The company is not making billions in profits. The shareholders shouldn't matter? You really know nothing about business. I take it you own no stock in any business, otherwise you would know you would want your investment to grow and not decrease in value. These people get what they asked for, they wanted more money and knows a company is either going to have to raise prices big time or lay off workers.
Gee raise the minimum wage to $20.00 an hour and people get laid off? I never saw that coming
$20 is nothing...
@@DonoDono1995Right, first it was $15, now $20 but even that is "nothing." The fact is it will NEVER be enough. $1000/hour and we'd still hear that it is not a "living wage."
@@robertd9850Yeah it will never be enough when cost of living keeps going up
@@noahzero9380If I'm a business owner and the gov forced me to pay workers a. higher minimum, then I have to adjust cost to make up that shortcoming, thus pass costs onto the consumer, so yes, raise the wage, enjoy your $50 pizza, or your $20 Big Mac meal. I'm not reducing my income to pay you more. I stll need to pay a mortgage on my lakeside home and private horseback riding lessons for my daughter.
@@noahzero9380 Raising wages makes the cost of living go up.
What the hell did they expect when they asked for $20 an hour?
Funny thing is, fast food is now deemed more valuable than most construction, sewage, and labor work. Despite being mind numbingly easy outside of lunch hours (even then, that is when the most employees are working).
20 an hour is like what 14-15.0 0an hour was just 3-4 years ago- 20 is nothing, corporate profits are through the roof however
@@FordFalcon1962nBlue Not quite that bad yet, but we are on the way.
Regardless, I was just saying making the comparison between California's minimum wage ($16) to the arbitrary fast food, forced minimum wage of $20. So California itself has now put more value on fast food workers than actual infrastructure workers on average.
IL is still worse.
@@someone-ji2zb All those jobs in Cali pay bank. It is in the South and Midwest they don't pay as much.
Look on your receipt, you will see one or more of the following:
Delivery Fee: $4.99
Service Fee: $4.13
Convenience Fee: $3.77
Transport Fee: $3.75
Trip Charge: $10.00
Mileage: $2.19
Driver Fee: $1.90
Fuel Surcharge: $2.04
Unattended Drop Fee: $0.99 / Attendant Fee: $1.99
Distance Surcharge: $2.87
Government-mandated Automotive Insurance Surcharge: $0.78
And that is not counting the tax or the tip.

@citylights8678 Nah, this is just about every Pizza Hut, with maybe a slight reduction in some fees, obviously. Pizza Hut has been ridiculous and greedy from day 1. Bad pizza and they expect people to pick it up only like its some bargain like Little Caesars (which is better in mine opinion).
If you are too lazy to go get it yourself then you deserve to pay.
@@KenTrosper I just hope people will support there local pizza place over the garbage they serve at Pizza Hut.

Most people outside of California knew this would happen. How can anyone have the nerve to act surprised?
They literally don't understand how money works.
I’m surprised people still eat PizzaSlut.
Just look up what Gavin Newsom is doing for 2024, and you will understand where the financial illiteracy comes from.
@TwistyMcFisty: Most Cali folk are just like most liberal folk....they live in a bubble. No outside intelligent conversation or meaningful debate is ever needed. They live in a pretend world surrounded by celebrities and elites also living a pretend life. They are surprised because they censor or ignore facts. Once reality sets in then the feign outrage calls for more government intervention. This collective delusional thinking has been going on in Cali for quite some time. Rinse. Wash. Repeat.
So you are saying people outside California are so dumb, they don't expect a decent wage? Wow, I know you were silly, but not quite that bad.
Customer: “It’s a big corporation, it’s not like a mom and pop shop”
I don’t think she knows how franchise works 😂. Franchisees are basically Mom and Pop shops. FranchisOR is not.
Silly, Tell Pizza Hut to stop charging Franchisees so much Money for Rent and Product so they can afford a somewhat Living Wage for their Workers. Yum Brands Inc. said Monday its board has approved a share buyback program of up to $2 billion to be valid through June 30 of 2024. The operator of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut restaurants, said the authorization will take effect once its current program has been exhausted
Franchisor don't charge rent...
@@mariahsmom9457 leave them be. Not many people know about franchising. Lol.
Despite what politicians say, you can't force an increase in wages and not expect a business to adjust, usually by layoffs or less hours. Businesses don't have unlimited money resources, even large chains like Pizza Hut.
I think their thought process was people making 7+ figures would be willing to settle for six figures, but let’s be real. They just do this as a result and small businesses suffer for it
Commiefornia Gov Numbskull Newsom totally enjoys destroying fast food businesses. which he hates.
@@avres13 - The mom-and-pops in the area may even benefit from offering delivery now.
The falling rate of profit in capitalism.
How about you cut those useless corporate workers wages
It just simply means Uber eats, door dash and Grubhub will take over the deliveries 100% now.
And it won't be good
@@xoxoxoxoxo7997 Yup. Slower, more expensive, and way more likely to have the driver taking a sample of your items.
It pretty has already done! Dominos may also do the same!
It’s worst they pay 3 dollars a delivery.
Sometimes I think the companies wrote these laws. They cut staff and now have an unlimited number of private "contractors" who don't require higher pay, supervision, health insurance and other benefits. Essentially, these soon to be unemployed Pizza Hut drivers jobs have just been outsourced....not to China but to Grub Hub and Door Dash.
This law is great, instead of having jobs now they can be unemployed
The democrat dream.
They offered them jobs this is about crime. Probably Insurance.

Step 1: Convince mindless public to vote a bunch of mindless idiots into positions of power

Step 3: Time to amend laws and policies to our liking
Step 3: Open border and flood country with 2 million -slave workers- illegal foreign immigrants

Guys they want to be paid a fair wage.. nobody wants slave wages guys come on get with the program
If you had to pay delivery drivers $20 an hour for a $20 pizza that could take up to an hour or close to deliver and return to the store. How can you be surprised that they don't want to do business anymore ? Insane! They'll lose money
Drivers can also milk the clock and just park and relax at $20 hr. The old method ( low hourly, plus delivery fee plus tip) incentivized productivity
@@MikeBarbarossadrivers are tracked these days, and the more time you’re on the road, the less deliveries you’ll take. So less money.
These people who blame the company are clueless. They don't understand how a business even operates.
Leftists are economically illiterate. They don't understand these these restaurants make money based on economies of scale. On a per store basis, they have very low margins, and even a small increase to the minimum wage can make a location completely unprofitable.
Uber eats will take over delivery

Why can't ppl understand basic economics. When you forced a company to raise minimum wages: it's the workforce and employees that are affected the most.
They don't understand cause the dumbing down is real with them
If you pay $30 for a pizza, they will deliver. Someone has to eat the cost and it will be the consumer.
This is a power play for Skip the Dish and Uber Eats. Nothing more.
@@chrisccc22So Uber, et al., fired those workers? Who knew.
@@Reach41Since the one guy there was working had been employed before Uber ever existed, I find that hard to believe.
Why don't these people understand, you are in business to make money!
If it costs more to do business you pass the cost on to the customer.
When the customer decides the cost is too much they stop buying.
The workers lost their jobs, and the economy grinds to a standstill ! ! !
It's not trickle down, or up it's just simply "economics"!
@@randymack2222 thats why minimum wage increase dont work. franchise keep losing money as theyre forced to pay more while they raise prices that make their pizza $30 when people cant even afford rent.
Rent, high cost of food, gas. Wage increase just cant keep up if everything goes up.
Its vicious cycle. Rinse and repeat until rich landlord become billionaire and minimum wage workers pay his bill with debt.
An order that cost $35 a couple of years ago now costs $65. Somebody has to pay when the state triples the minimum wage; it’s not the companies, as they must maintain a minimum profit margin over their costs, it’s consumers that pay. Politicians do it for votes, and it works, the voters being unable to understand how the laws they pass makes everything cost so much.
Protip, stop paying for garbage
and today's quality of ingredients in a whole other conversation
We never needed junk food at every corner. I hope these people can find better jobs and pursue better life-styles. When stores shut down as a result of covid many employees received the opportunity to get trained in a career trade if enough places lay off their team and people express to the unemployment office the need. Let's make our economy and lifestyles better with less junk choices.
@endofdaysanarchy its called a family order 🥴

For the lady complaining, if you paid more you can have your pizza deliver (Uber eats, doordash, etc).

I'm hoping to retire next year at 55. My goal next year is to be more serious and consistent with my investments I've been investing since I was 22. 2024 is going to be more serous for me investing consistently for the long term. starting to save for a house down payment. I want to invest more than $105k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk
Best thing you can do to derisk is diversify.
Its unclear which stocks and sectors will lead the market in the next uptrend. It is advisable to diversify while retaining 70-80% in secure investments. looking at your budget, you should consider financial advisory.
A good number of people discredit the effectiveness of financial advisors, but over the past 10years I've had a an advisor consistently restructure and diversify my portfolio/expenses and I've made over $3million in gains... might not be a lot but i find myself secure financially
Being heavily liquid, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. Since this strategy works for you, how can I contact your advisor?
Samuel Peter Descovich is the analyst that helps me. He has a large following and is easily found online.
He has extensive understanding as I have made so much since following him.
People blaming the businesses should be blaming the legislatures who passed the law. I owned a business for 15 years and sometimes you either cut costs or shut your doors. When minimum wages were raised some time back many fast food places replaced counter workers with kiosks.
If you can't pay your workers a living wage you don't deserve to own a business.

When I was in highschool, Pizza Hut and fast food business's were considered part time jobs. Mostly college and highschool students were employed. Now people expect these positions to be a high paying job to live on and don't need to further their education.

yep and the influx and competition from contractor drivers will drive the prices down for us. maybe we will get our food while its still hot now cause 30 people will be sitting in a parking lot waiting for an order instead of 1 guy picking what order will make him the most money and declining the rest.

Or else how will that store be able to afford overhead on the restaurant? Food, cleaning, repair, just keeping the lights on all cost money. When you say big corporate what you mean right now is small franchise owner. Apparently that franchise owner should suffer and struggle so you can get they cheap pizza right?

I worked fastfood in highschool & learned that was how you get in the door to improve & strive to be better elsewhere, or become part of the corporation.
This is the problem with the profit motive, increases in profits must occur week on week and if not then they ensure they do by whatever inhuman measure they can muster.

Government saying these people dont make enough money to live but still taxing them...
I worked for The Hut off and on since the late 80's, when they used to have a call center that would take orders and offer TVs and gifts for suggestive selling, a store with a staff of at least 10 employees with 3-4 making pizzas.
Now, Call center dissappeared, one person makes, cuts, stocks, answers phones, practically one employee runs the store, 1 manager who manipulates the delivery time by cashing the order in early to satisfy the algorithms! Meanwhile the driver, has to hope the customer doesn't think the delivery charge is a tip! From hand made dough to frozen, the taste just isn't the same anymore.
Yeah, we quit Pizza Hut. Their food isn't as good anymore. They charge too much for pizza. So, we are learning how to make it at home. Not paying (nearly) $8 bucks for delivery.
Yeah I used to love pizza but when I was a kid, haven't had it in years 😭
@@The_QuaaludeThat's only natural, kids have terrible taste. As long as it's full of carbs, kids will eat it.
Lol you plebs are obsessed with your little tips. "Omg nooo not my heckin tiparoo!!1"
It's hilariously sad that people think a massive chain like Pizza Hut that has already cut out tons of workers over the decades while increasing productivity, can't pay their remaining employees halfway livable wages. They can, they just don't want to. There should be grave penalties for these harmful moves that are clearly attempting to bypass the law. News flash, if someone can't afford to pay their employees livable wages, they can't afford to run a business. Just like I can't buy a Porsche if I can't afford one. Relying on slave labor under the guise that fast food workers are 'unskilled' and therefore deserve to live in poverty so big chains can keep their massive, record-breaking profits is such a disgusting notion.
See that’s the thing, you can mandate a $20/hr minimum - but that does not address the competitive nature of business. I.E., it can be hard to raise prices to compensate when customers have other options.
If there gonna be government min wage there needs to be government minimum prices
@@SgtJoeSmith Interesting: minimum prices but not maximum prices - welcome $18 Big Macs everywhere!
The option is cook your own food.
@@DM-hw4cr Lol. The companies behind fast food are banking on the addictive nature of fast food to keep customers coming in. But with rising price of fast food you might as well go to a regular sit down restaurant for more tasty and better food.
Why does it seem like the people who go to Pizza Hut are the same people who supported the higher minimum wage that is now getting rid of their delivery drivers
This is a serious tragedy ☹ My heart goes out to all those insulated pizza delivery boxes that will no longer have a purpose in life.

No, politicans know what they are doing. BUYING VOTERS. They always try to solve an issue without thinking the the consequences as if it's an after thought if at all. They als always make solutions without thinking it all the way thru.
Most people see these issues as one thing is either good or bad. They aren't intelligent enough to understand most of the cascading effects decisions have.
There's been a lot of Pizza Huts closing in my area. I tried to order one to carry out and it was going to be an hour wait. It's sad to see because I love Pizza Hut. I hope they can figure out a way to fix things.
The driver's get minimum wage, plus tips. Now that they'll be unemployed they'll simply switch to Door Dash - and end up earning less. Politicians like to mandate wages and benefits because it gets them votes, but the reality is that their actions hurt the little guy.

Before you complain, research how much these corporations made last year.
I used to be paid 10% commission of all I delivered and got to keep the tip. Average weekend in the 1990's was about 300.00 dollars. More companies should look into commission pay and adjust pricing to compensate.
I remember starting a good paying manufacturing job. At $.25 more than minimum wage $4.25/hr. And could afford alot more than I can now that I'm making $28/hr.
They haven't raised minimum wage to adjust for inflation in over 13 years.
Even at $20 dollars and hour people are still earning less than they did 30 years ago when you account for inflation.
It sounds crazy but it's true.
Yea, that is the sad truth. A masonry tender could afford a mortgage before the age of 25 back in the 90s. Now the same job wont even let you rent a garbage apartment on the worst side of town.

The sad truth is that people shouldn't need to be warned over simple mathematics. If the average amount of money people make goes up, then prices will, without a doubt, also go up. There are only a finite amount of things; supply and demand is a core principle because it is a reality. Common sense stuff

You best believe EVERY CONCEIVABLE ENTITY is going to raise prices (gas stations, grocery stores, housing, etc.) It frustrates me endlessly that the state will call itself raising money to HELP working people, only for working people to be HURT even more by inflation all around.
We replaced our fast food fix with an air fryer and frozen pizza with added toppings. Better than fast food and less expensive.
Everybody blaming the company…. Maybe they should stop voting for people that keep raising the minimum wage. Costs of everything go up when that happens and these companies aren’t charities.
The worst part is that too many workers in entry-level jobs want their jobs to become a long-term career path and that is not how it works.
Eh, people way too deep now. Government assistance, minimum wage, social justice infecting work places... it is all a crap show and people don't seem to want to look for answers, because it would bring their own morality into question.
Hey buddy let me fill you in on a little secret..prices have been going up without having to pay employees a good wage.. so wtf are u even talking about ?????
"build back better" in full effect.
Right... a president is responsible. What would trump do? Bankruptcy... again....

@@Look_What_You_Didwe didn't have bankruptcy under trump. He actually was helped fix the deficit. This is all newsome who is screwing up Cali. And Biden lacks protecting the border.
They been using Doordash and Ubereats and slowly removing their drivers. It's too much profit for them and the new law just confirmed for them to use third-party drivers for their delivery.
The CEO of YUM made nearly 17 million last year alone but sure, blame the dude making $15 and hour and working 25 hours a week.
15 An hour and 25 hours a week and driving his own car putting his own gas in and everything else that comes with owning your own car. Also if you don't tell your insurance company that you're using your car for commercial purposes they will drop you right away.
It really is a joke having to use your own car to do this type of work nowadays. I'm old enough to remember when places used to have their own delivery vehicles and multiple ones too and yet now they've learned that that's very expensive and they would rather have the employee take on that expense. Heaven forbid compensating them for the use of their private vehicle to help my business all for minimum wage.
They will rely on services like Door Dash to be their delivery, which means the customer gets screwed if there's a problem with their order. (Actual example: box gets smashed by driver, garlic sauce spills and soaks into the entire pizza, Door Dash refunds only half the total pizza value). *If you don't like what a company is doing, don't support it!*
LOL I love how they mentioned catching people "off guard"! What do these people think would happen? I love it when the other guy says he'll be looking for an alternate pizza chain. Well, you better look hard, you either will end up paying a lot more or pick it up yourself. This is going to happen to almost all franchises.
I bet they still can get frozen pizzas from grocery store for less than $10.
whos pooping in whos mouth?
Won't have to look too hard, somehow other chains and even other pizza huts aren't doing this.
It might lead to higher prices, for someone working in LA this is a 19% pay increase so that probably translates to less than $1/hr. Pizza hut will lose more than that when customers go elsewhere
In KC Missouri it just raised Jan 1st to $12.30. There's people here working professional jobs not making 20 bucks - and yes it costs money to live here too, nothing is cheap nowadays.
Stupid move by Pizza Hut. They are cutting off their noses to spite their faces.
Well everyone with common sense and some knowledge of economics saw this coming . But, many failed to listen . Get ready for the cost of living to increase as well. It will cause an entire ripple effect.
$2000 a month rent for those jobless pizza boys. more homeless drug addicts to join the streets now. walk up to a homeless man in cali in 5 years and he will tell you about the good ole days of delivering pizza or 10 an hour in his 400 a month apartment he shared with a coworker.
@@SgtJoeSmith yeah sucks the cost of living is so high in these blue cities . They claim to “ care “ but their policies are everything so expensive . Not to mention taxed out of your mind … where do those wonderful state taxes go in CA.., the state is horribly run . Cost of living isn’t out of control in many states . Maybe they should look at their disgusting policies as the cause .
@@SgtJoeSmith I see you are a fellow vet ! Hope your new year is going well brother ! Just got out of the SEAL Teams myself 👍🇺🇸
@AverageJoe483 tax dollars are going to feed and provide needles to homeless in Cali cause they weren't smart enough and got priced out of the work force. Tell your kids to learn to cut grass or weld for fix stuff if they don't want to be homeless. I'm making 150 an hour from home fixing lawn mowers in Arkansas down the street from Walmart home office. 200 an hour welding. 45 now. Semi retired at 40 after making $2 million cutting grass and landscaping that I started with my dad when I was in 4th grade. Only work half the year. Got 18 cars and trucks. Been offering employees 100 an hour but too hard they cry. So they go do door dash and beg democrats to make door dash pay them more. I haven't advertised in 10 years and can't keep up with work. Going up to 160 an hour now. Probably be at 175 in a year. I'm getting 7 a mile round trip to pick up or deliver. Do the math on that. 30 mph average speed. 30 miles in an hour for 7 an hour is $200+ an hour to be an Uber driver for lawn mowers in my 99 s10 I got for $4k 15 years ago and put 50k miles on it mowing with it. Money to be made for people not lazy. I got few e-commerce sites too on side. If someone still working at mcdonalds or delivering pizza at 40 then they really plucked up along the way
@@SgtJoeSmith exactly .. those that make policy don’t know the pains if what it takes to start and maintain a business . They are out of touch and can’t empathize . They have become career politicians that thing funding is unlimited because they spend other people’s money. Not money they earned . They don’t feel the pain of fraud, waste, or abuse . They keep getting funding regardless .
How the hell do you expect a private owners to survive paying $20/hr to a delivery driver or fast food workers?
They don't that's the plan.
Those fast food chains make far more than enough to pay their employees 20 bucks in Los Angeles county. You must be from a county that doesn't make the money LA nakes
yeah we need a living wage too!
They been doing it. In and out does it near me they been thriving for years. Pizza hut is cheap.
@@user-io3zd1qs1hhow much is pizza in la? I live about one hour away and dominos charges 15 bucks for a large pizza which is pretty cheap.
How much is rent for a spot like this? I know in Palm Springs for some locations to do business it’s 10k a month and it’s not even near down town where all the people are at. How much to pay for utilities? How many employees do they have? How much is insurance? Plus a bunch of other payments. How long does it take to make 1 pizza and how many do they have to make to break even.
Some businesses will fail and close down while others will survive and raise prices.
You get what you voted for CA. Your actions have consequences.
That lady doesn't understand how business works.
You can’t make $20 an hour when you’re unemployed…
when You are free, You mean? :|
People will get healthier 😂
Maybe you should have thought about the consequences before raising the minimum wage. It’s not shocking that people will lose jobs, it’s expected. That’s only start on the Job losses.
In the Philippines some fast foods let go of their motorcycle delivery but a company set up an app for delivery like grab eats.
Well what did they think was gonna happen with the minimum wage increase.

NEXT!
Paying fast food workers $20 an hour is insane. Maybe the top of the managers could should earn that, but these jobs are intended for teens and things like that. Not somebody who's supporting a family. It's not a job you have to have a lot of education for or special training that's why they pay less
Yes you are right but believe it or not, there are more adults with Family’s (between 25-65) working in these places than there are actual teens. Nowadays teens don’t work these types of jobs because these jobs don’t want teens working for them, they’re lazy. They go to Amazon, retail, or some online job or onlyfans 😂
You can thank Newsome and your legislature
Don’t blame Pizza Hut, blame those idiotic politicians you love and support up in Sacrapmento for thinking it was a great idea to raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour for what are basically stepping-stone jobs!!
But they are not stepping stone jobs anymore. They haven't been for the past 25+ years. Many people do these jobs for a living. That's the reality, while you're living in the past. I wish it wasn't the case, but it is.
It's funny how you think 20.00 per hour is a lot of money in California.
@@thehighllama8101they are if you have no motivation to better yourself
@@thehighllama8101 no one has a gun pointed to their head to make them work jobs meant for teenagers! True the companies are at fault for relying on hiring one immigrant than hiring 3 local teenagers because it’s easier to schedule! The money was all the same.

@@ryder4508 it’s not! But it’s an unskilled stepping -stone job for young people to learn punctuality, teamwork, responsibility so they can move on to something bigger and better!

All fast food will be cut down to skeletal crew soon.
As a delivery driver no we do not get the delivery fee.
don't forget the other fees: 3.99
transmission fee: 2.99
fee fee: 12.99
fee fi fo fum fee: 8.99
might as well fee: 5.00
WTF you gonna do fee: 2.00
Another dollar won't hurt fee: 1.00
It's not sitting well with him, huh? They're a big corporation so they have the finances. 😂 It's a franchise, look up what that means before you pass judgment on something you understand nothing about. Open your own franchise & I'm sure you'll understand why they're doing this. Give your hate to Gavin, these stores are just trying to stay profitable enough to keep giving you pizza in your area SMFH
If you can't afford to pay a few bucks more an hour than your business sucks anyway.
People see the brand and think they're rich, they have the money. The franchisee has to pay a fee to the parent company for the franchise and they have to pay all of the expenses, including labor and taxes. There's no big pot of money in the company office. These businesses will go through millions of dollars over years before they see a single dime of profit. Ask people if they will pay a big increase for the cost of the product and they'll say sure. But in reality it never happens. The customers will find a cheaper alternative. The government can mandate a 50 dollar an hour wage if they want. The true minimum wage is always zero. Fast food chains are already looking at robots and other technology to replace workers. You get paid according to the value you bring to an employer. The government increasing the cost does not increase the value the worker brings.
@@larrypatty8333Maybe they shouldn’t invest in these mediocre franchisees then
@@ryder4508 Always the backseat drivers with these comments 🤔
@@beelikemizu604 You know those franchise owners would pay 3.00 per hour if they could get away with it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 living wage just turned into AUTOMATION
Pizza Hut quality went to shit. We won't go there anymore. Crappy sevice. Employees in the kitchen on their phones. Absolute crap!
economics 101: minimum wage makes it illegal to run a business where the productivity of an employee is under the minimum amount
so if you have an idea for a business where an employee could deliver 15 dollars an hour worth of productivity, you have to hire them for under that to make a profit
setting a minimum wage de-facto abolishes business models which depend on low productivity/unlucrative goods and service sales
When I grew up in the 1970's only high school kids work at fast food places. You are now suppose to make a living working at these jobs.
That’s what happens when corporate America slashes all form of middle management positions and rape the life out of a unionized workforce
Thats cap cuz fast food places had to stay open during school hours so adults were working there
@@ZerospawnnMostly retirees, criminals, and mentally challenged people. Stop acting like fast food is a career simp.
lol i know. remember when someone pumped your gas too? imagine paying $30 a gallon so some 35 year old that could be doing construction but is too lazy can make $25 an hour pumping your gas
@@SgtJoeSmiththat actually was a thing?wtf
Gotta love the California business fee of $2.00. Stopped ordering Pizza Hut after that.
You mean the shitty quality pizza wasn't enough to get you to stop ordering it? lol
Nah, that's just the business making up a dumbass business fee to tact on the your delivery. You know how many deliver receipts I have and none of them say, "California business fee". Pizza Hut has been notoriously shitty to its employees. Charging delivery fees that don't go to its drivers. This was controversial before all this $20 an hour bullshit they are trying scapegoat for their failing business model.
I remember when pizza hut was a sit down place
It’s not “sad” or “surprising” if you have even a basic understanding of economics. Minimum wage manipulation by central governments never, ever, ever has the effect proponents claim. In fact, it has the opposite. Low income families suffer the most.
This is Bidenomics, man.
California voters voted for this. You voted for the politicians who made it happen. Don't act outrage and offended because businesses had to make cuts to survive what YOU voted for.
100% correct sir!
I like how she dismisses "Big Corporations" as having the resources to do whatever. Cali and its government screw up everything.
I live in Wisconsin the minimum wage is still $7.25 but I make $14 an hr at barnes & noble
pizza hut is doing these people a favor, they will find a better job
Doing what
@hooddip8018doing what??
@hooddip8018Some individuals want to work menial jobs for their entire life, and there should be nothing wrong with that.
It’s amazing how the people in California don’t even comprehend how businesses work, and raising employee costs will just pass it on to the consumer and all the other goods and services, which is why you have some of the highest rent and taxes in the state
As long as the people who make the rules are well compensated all is good
As someone who live in California it not raising the wages that causing the price up. Before the 15 dollar increase for many years the food industry skyrocketed their prices so i don't buy that.
are you so clueless to not understand that even $20/hour is well below the poverty level? what are people supposed to do? live on the streets while working at pizza hut?
If I worked at your hypocritical business, I’d definitely take everything from there to make up for the low pay 🤣
so let's pay them 200k a year. @@ZacharySire
Our local pizza hut replaced them all with DoorDash drivers. So they still do delivery, but DD now handles it once the order is placed.
All this means, is somebody higher up just got a big bonus. Same thing happened with the insurance company I worked with let go of a lot of employees and ended up giving extra bonuses to upper management.
All the pearl-clutching is because a direct transfer of payment to labor is a direct transfer from profit.
It ends up being a shake-out from the companies that are willing to cut the fat and those that won't.
A company doesn't necessarily have to raise prices if they get rid of the worthless layers of overpaid management or any other inefficiency in the business model.
If it puts companies out of business to pay a marginal living wage then I have no sympathy.
The market will adapt.
Pizza drivers get no dough?
Entry level fast food jobs are not CAREERS. EMT's make less than $20/hr LA County and have to go to school, pass the NREMT exam, are exposed to sick and sometimes dangerous people, and are open to medical malpractice lawsuits if they don't do their job correctly. Ridiculous
I'm an emt and we get paid like shit since like forever. It's ridiculous. Even emts can't afford a decent living with that wage. So this 20$ hike is nothing for everyone. Food and cost of living will go up no matter what. It's inevitable. All other states will be the same. It's just california is already known to be an expensive state to live in.
@@Phillipnoogenit's expensive due to self inflicted wounds regarding their politics....and the nice weather I'm sure.
Yeah but your forgot the fact that this country isn’t charity. Just because what emts do for a living is perceived as good doesn’t mean there is an driving economic force behind the industry. Shitty pizza on the other hand…
They are a mom and pop shop, they are franchises. This is what most people do not understand.
I live in So. Cal and was just at Chipotle. 2 chicken burritos w/ gauc... $26. Remember back when $30 got you a 5 course steak and lobster meal? Jesus!
It used to be if you worked at a fast food place you could afford to eat there, not anymore!!!
At $20 an hour they should be able to afford the steak house
