Ain’t no one paying $7 for a pretzel.
I can't get past homeless mother of 6 working at Jack in the Box.
Probably should have stopped at one.
You will soon
Here a pretzel is 12.99
i paid $11.00 for a scoop of ice cream the other day but no more...
@@pavy415 Where are you in Sri Lanka???
A single mother with 6 kids? Where is the baby daddy and why isn't he contributing?
Nah. he is in Jail. so now she is Begging the taxpayers to foot the bill
everyday he be out there hustlin' 😂
You mean the 6 babies daddies!
U know they not all from the same guy 😂
All 6 guys are in Jail probably. 76% of black mothers are single.
Anyone with common sense knows you can't afford six kids today.
nor could she when she had them, but since they just incresae the food stamps and welfare each kid.. why not have 6
Anyone who ask why fast food doesn't pay a livable wage is stupid and has been failed by the education system.
@@williamhaynes7089they actually been cutting down on welfare/food stamps even when you got a good number of kids
@@DGDR123 - not enough... hasnt stopped people here
@@williamhaynes7089 I hear ya
It's not good news. 1) Customers will cut back on fast food and 2) Machines will replace workers. Then what? They will learn that $0 is the true minimum wage when they are out of a job.
Hello beautiful, yes you are correct AI will replace people
Machines will replace workers anyway
6 kids and 7 baby daddies
When the Democrat Party gets involved - the Quality of Service always goes DOWN !!!! 😒
Stay in school, don’t get pregnant, work hard study hard and GET A CAREER!!!! Fast food is not a retirement job DAMN IT!!!!!!
Wrong! It is a good job when you are retired. I’d rather buy fast food from older people than teenagers.
Get preg n keep that baby better than the last parent
@@RonSouththat job is not meant for old people. At a old age you should have developed professional skills to keep you away from those places . Fast food is meant for teenagers
I remember when the men in the families were real men, worked to support their family so the wife didn't have to. 😢Good old days.
@@cromedome6511
Honestly, I don't think so.
Think first before pregnant.
1:53 Those jobs are for students, not for Single Mothers of 6 babies.
If those jobs are for students, why are restaurants open during school hours?
70% of fast food workers are over 18
Cbeaucrawford is right, these days, fast food jobs are not just for kids in school working the weekends for pocket money. More and more often, these workers aren't even students
And her baby daddies
All it does is drive prices up. I happened to drive by Sonic this morning and saw an employee charging menu prices before the facility opens.
Same thing happened last year when they raised taxes on rental properties. Property owners have no choice but to increase rents. For every action taken there is always reaction.
Jokes on her. She will get laid off.
💯💯💯
🎯 exactly.!!!! 🤣
Fast food restaurants will only keep the most efficient workers. And she is not one of them.
lol
I just commented the same thing
As an engineer, I can tell you automation is coming because we are doing it project after project. Companies cannot hire people who want to work or people want $20/hr. to flip a burger.
If jobs are automated who Is gonna buy the product if the majority of people are not making money?
It's not fair to say people that work in fast food deserve a higher minimum wage than other minimum wage jobs.
@@gilbertgarcia69 It's the education systems fault for allowing people to think they can work for other people and get rich.
@@gilbertgarcia69originally a fast food job was simply a stepping stone in life while in high school school or college as it was for me. It was never intended to be a career job. The business model was fast, inexpensive food and part of that is to keep cost low including labor. Now people are trying to make a career out of it because they lack education or job skills so they are doing this job well into adulthood. Part of this is due to changing demographics. I predict the price of fast food getting so expensive most will stop buying it which will be good for health but will eliminate many jobs. I ran a restaurant while going to college along with my wife. I can tell you the profit margins are very thin, owners are not getting as rich as you think. Restaurants have the highest failure rate of any other business. The restaurant was a great stepping stone for the both my wife and I while we finished college and obtained our career jobs. I would never imagined trying to make a career and buying a house, etc. from a restaurant job. Times have changed…..
Gavin Newsom probably has money invested in Automation
Yes. The entire state should raise their minimum wage to match. Every other job below it is lacking behind.
@fastdude2002 there are manager jobs a d district manager jobs that could be considered a career
Jobs are already being lost. This will close more businesses. California needs to make housing affordable and stop inflation on housing. People can’t survive on $20 minimum wage in California.
Housing isn't affordable because of government red tapes all over. If they would get rid of their politicians and allow the builders to build, there will be plenty of houses.
Stop voting Blue, you ruin every city with your delusional politics and polices.
Exactly!!!!! Absolutely correct
How do you do that? Anytime the government gets involved, it gets worse.
@madmaximus2836 we can start with removing all of the red tape and fees associated with home building. Try building a new house in California. The non building costs are just as high as the materials.
6 kids, homeless and working at a fast food job
Now she has to deal with higher food prices thanks to this
This type of person is exactly why we're seeing swarms at Six Flags.
Itll be robots long term
For everything
Unless we the people vote ag7snt it
Good Burger 2 warned us... it's coming
@mikeohawk95 we won't though. Corporations will influence the vote towards their favor.
Your job is next🤣🤣🤣
when we started with 15 dollars, does any one remember what happned in seatle? people were laid off, benefits cut, hours cut, employees had to pay for parking or start taking the bus. and then everyone else suffers. People can choose to work somewhere else. build yourself and go somewhere where you can get paid more. it doesn't have to be fast food. this is going to make the cost of living go up for everyone. if you think you can live off a 4 dollar increase i don't think you are thinking about other expenses going up. this is a joke.
It’s like the cat chasing its own tail with no end in sight
Yeah rent prices are actually what they should be focused on. Increasing minimum wage will only speed up inflation. Reducing rent prices might actually reduce inflation overall. But they're too terrified of pissing off the real estate investors that get them elected
@gabrielnunez: Well said. The whole financial thing is cyclical in the end and just keeps going 'round & 'round. Because ff workers now make $20/hr the guy who uses these services will need a raise to cover the increase or stop purchasing their product. Whatever this guy does when his pay is increased will be added on to whatever he produces and so on & on until it works its way back around to where this single mom will need another wage increase because she still can't afford anything. Maybe in the end she should be making wiser decisions.
The problem is trickle down economics, and the USA moving from a manufacturing economy to a service economy. Follow the money trail to find those responsible for this slow economic suicide.
The economist lady says that fast food is making Record profits... but thats the company itself and not the Franchise owner..
this.
Sounds like franchises need to go out of business to make corporate start giving them better rates on their franchise. I welcome it. The pain has rested squarely on the workers long enough. Time for the business owners to feel the corporate squeeze.
@@WaxPaperThat's not a good idea. These Franchises invested millions to open up.
@@WaxPaper you do realize that these owners pit millions into the business and can't just walk away
@@williamhaynes7089 I just don't care. They're closer to the source of corporate greed that's ruining this country than the workers, and it's time for that hurt to start trickling up.
Well not to worry, many of these franchises will end up shutting down when the see the average customers aren't going to pay $18.00 for a combo meal, they're going to start cooking their own food.
Maybe more robust businesses will step into the market.
Some places are already charging
$ 16.00 for a burrito a la carte.
The franchise model was only successful because of cheap labor. It is a thing of the past now 🤷♂️
Been doing exactly that for decades. Homemade is always better. Lower cost, better ingredients and taste excellent.
@@googleuser868 And no snotty arrogant teenager with green hair giving you attitude while getting your food!

She's going to have less hours or get laid-off , this is not going to help her.
Sounds like a problem with how corporations run their businesses to me. Should probably fix that instead of accepting those jobs having people working at poverty levels of pay.
@@giggitygooquagsounds like you have never and could never run a business that lasts more than a week. But you keep telling others what's what from your "0" knowlege and experience of things. That's pretty much the dem/left way - "we hold the purest ignorance about a thing, and, as such, we assume it's super simple and we must already be experts on it"
@taylort8674 I know your infinite knowledge doesn't know this, but what you're arguing here is, "let us treat our workers like crap while reaping all the profits like we've been doing all these years." Which seems to be the rights way of things for a loooong time now. Step on the weak while living like a scrooge mcduck essentially.
🎯
@@giggitygooquag keep telling people that as prices rise and less working hours/layoffs from these jobs 😂 Keep raising the minimum wage until they close down the businesses or get robots
Who we kidding here... With 6 kids.She's probably getting damn near free housing from the government. I can't believe she even did this interview
You will still get the same shity service and lack of respect
Of course, it's always the clientele that screws things up.
Not if I don’t get fast food.
If you're getting bad service that just means you're a bad customer. Doesn't matter what food place you go. Bad service = bad customers.
They don't really owe you anything
@@jamesschubbe8938 sorry if a stuck a nerve you must be a burger flipper yourself .. just have some respect for yourself and your job is all im saying .. even if your a fry guy
Don't think for one second you are getting a huge pay raise. This is only temporarily. Automation for cooking is coming to replace your job. The writings are on the wall. I said this years ago and I was the laughing stock. I guess they aren't laughing now huh.
I worked at McDonald's back in 1985. I was 16 years old. The minimum wage was $3.95 an hr. I had no plans on retiring from there. People need to go to college and learn skills.
Correct you are!
Dear Sir, Have you seen the price of college these days? That doesn’t even include rent.
FASFA exists student grants exist@@maylani3697
Grants and scholarships get many free degrees.
In California, if you’re in poverty and a minority, you’re school is practically paid for. I paid about $150 a semester at a community college with books. This was early 2000-2004.
$7 for 1 Pretzel ??? That's insane.
why they interviewing the same woman over n over?? i seen her in two interviews already. wat agenda are they pushing??
She would also be the first to throw something at a customer if she even receives the slightest perception of being disrespected!
She probably a paid actor. Most are for these segments.
Plus modern black women have too much pride to be on NATIONAL TV talking about they "un-housed with 6 children"...
We are in an age of "I don't need no man" and "Boss Bih" and Faking it for IG...so i highly doubt that was her real situation. She's an actor
Now she can afford 6 more kids.
Lol
No, that would require a 100% raise. 25% only lets her afford 1-2 more
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣 no joke 🤣
😳😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can give a minimum wage of 50 dlls an hour. Renters are just going to see that the people have more money and hike rent prices it is really a never-ending batte.
Isn't it great to be living in California. If your stores aren't closing because of out of control minority crime, then they will be closing because of the high costs of labor.
My first "real job" was at a company owned Taco Bell. I was young. For a brief time I thought this would be a career. That thought was brief. Even if my pay was the equivalent to $20 at the time, it wouldn't have changed my mind. I put in 1 1/2 years at the place and moved on to better things (by far). There's nothing wrong with these jobs, but these are stepping stones, and are best for young people. Working the front line, kitchen, cleaning, etc., at a McDonald's, Taco Bell or Jack-in-the-Box is not a career. $20 isn't going to get you the American dream. Unless your goal is upper management, you got to move on to something else as a career.
Agreed, but atleast I could afford a car now working these jobs
I loved my job at Taco Bell but realized quickly that college was necessary for me.
@@neonnoir9692 basically same on my end.
It wasn’t until I worked a job for “teens” and realized the majority were 30+ and struggling, that I decided college was probably a better idea.
The American dream Is lifestyle inflation and wondering where your money went as your wages have stagnated for decades just to beg for your time back on your deathbed. Generic arm and back logic
the price of the 'food' will be going Up Up.
$20 for burger alone lol
Insanity.
Hope that lady dont get to happy cuz everything gonna go up. That $20 is not enough.
Yup that means it’s gonna get more expensive and gonna hurt those Earning 16!
she will be laid off next week.....
How about solving the housing/renting crisis so people can afford it at any level of income?
That Homeless mother of 6 needs an education she's probably going to be one of the first people fired. To make up for price hikes, People who are excited for this doesn't know what it means.
Who cares I bought a meat grinder to make my own burgers.
Cost less than fast foods.
Better meat too.
Oh totally!!!
Cheaper and better quality meat.
Nice.!!!!!
Got one too plus juicer, chopper, grill , air fryer etc
Say goodbye to Mom & Pop restaurants. Big corporation fast food restaurants will just pump up their prices across the country which won’t make a big difference. However, the local restaurant prices will have to go up.
The grocery stores are slowly going back the a person doing your checks so, curious about what’s going to happen next.
It doesn't apply to mom & pop restaurants, only fast food restaurants with 60 or more locations
@@joeyGalileoHotto Small business owners are left with the dregs that major chain restaurants passed on. They'd rather not start up, or fold on their own terms rather than pay people $16 an hour to destroy their business from within.
1.) We eat at home more and more, 2.) These jobs (unless you are the owner or manager) were never intended as careers. It is a stepping stone. 3.) There will be no jobs left for kids once the total automation sets in. I refuse to pay over $10.00 for a burger. I don't care how much I make!
Wait two weeks and see how many owners are ready to close multiple brick and mortar. Also, AI will be a one time cost replacement. This will not solve homelessness. Actually, it will exacerbate it. Housing will remain out of rich. No benefits and no jobs will be indicators on your way to being homeless. Move out of CA is the answer.
No…stay in California. They voted themselves into this mess, they will continue to vote the same way…
Exactly. More homeless, more drug use, more robberies, and more killins...
And now it’s going to cost $18.37 for a combo at McDonald’s.
Nope! Think $22.
Fastfood worker is not a job that deserves $20 an hour. This type of job is for students not an adult.
Everyone is DESERVING of a living if they work hard! Nobody seeks a career in fast food. Many fast food workers have degrees.
1.66 percent of the workforce in the US was employed in agriculture,
19.18 percent in industry and 79.15 percent in services (10%: Restaurant workforce) google
78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, a 6% increase from the previous year
Problem is all the “Blue collar” jobs went to Mexico and China, so now the blue collar job is the fast food industry.
Homeless mother of 6, that’s always where I turn to for advice and insight!
me too
Record breaking profits from the "top firms" is not the same as franchise owners. I have a friend who's parents own 1 McDonald franchise. Over $3 million in sales but after food cost, supplies, utilities, insurance, franchise fees, payroll, etc. They profit about $200-250k a year, that is less then 10% in the total sales. I cannot confirm how many employees they have. But let says they have 30 employees x $16/hr x 40 hours = $1 million in payroll. Raising minimum wage by 20% = increase $200k in payroll. Say goodbye to that $200-250k profit.
Too bad not too many people understand this... Everyone is looking at the large corporations record profits and thinking that they should share that profit. They keep forgeting that the corporations makes money off franchise owners whether they are profitable or not. So franchise owners are the ones that suffer...
Exactly McDonald's corporate is a real estate company, and gets franchise fees based on revenue. What does that mean in an inflationary environment? Corporate level profits regardless of franchise level problems. The corporate bottom line only gets hit when franchises begin closing on mass.
🎯
Man they make a killing in profit.
McDonald’s is rubbish I have friends in tech make more than franchise owners and McDonald’s is supposed to be one of the best ones yet they have so much expenses, food service ain’t worth it low margins with high costs and labor and too much work. Your lucky to take home 8% of gross revenue.
Employee hours will be cut, more days off, shorter shifts, and salaried managers will do more of the work.
Fast food restaurant jobs, initially intended to be Summer jobs for teenagers, have become a lifetime vocation. Now they're talking about $50 an hour. Absurd. 🙄
There won't be any jump in pay at all. Restaurants will change their hours open, everyone will soon be on a part time schedule. Without the same volume, all the mom and pops will close first, they don't have the volume. People now have less reason to go out and waste even more money on food with the higher prices this will bring. As it is, people are already scrimping. All the places you loved will soon be gone...all forced out by govt sticking their nose in business.
🎯
Mom and Pops have 60 or more stores ? 😅
The lady is happy for a high raise, she fails to understand she has a good chance to lose her job. The small businesses cannot afford to pay the high wages. The low wages were meant for teenagers and young adults not for careers. Many business will raise prices, cut back hours and move out of California.
Jack in the Box is not a small business.
They profit billions of dollars every year.
If they can afford to gift their CEOs with multi-million dollar bonuses, then they can afford to pay their employees a decent wage.
They aren't going anywhere....California has population of near 40 million people. Millions of visitors come to this state every year too....
@@alfredgeorge3186 That is not true. Burger King made 2 billion in revenue and owes 14 billion. The franchise owners are small businesses. They will close up shop. No body wants to buy a burger for $25. They already said they will replace their workforce with automation. You will see more people leave California from these socialist laws.
@@alfredgeorge3186 Are you saying that those Jack in the Box is owned by the corporation with their high paying CEO? Seriously? You don't know what a franchise is? Franchisees pay the salary, not the corporations. No wonder weed sells so well in Cali...
Those are not "high wages". $20 an hour is equivalent to $5.30 an hour in 1980. If McDonalds is having trouble meeting that they can cut the salaries of a few board members and stop making stock buybacks. Twenty bucks is not a lot these days, but at least it's a move in the right direction. More money in worker's pockets stimulates the economy. Everybody wins.
@@alfredgeorge3186 You misunderstand how businesses operate. Jack n the Box is mostly operated by franchise owners. The owners invest a ton of money in their establishment. The franchisees do not make a lot of money. They are considered small business owners backed by the Jack n the Box corporation. The franchise owners are already planning on closing numerous locations because of the wage hike. Higher prices will cause less revenue. The corporation will not allow their profits to plummet from franchise owners closing their business. They will automate to replace their workforce.
Mcdonalds’ CEO is paid $8,543 an hour. Burger King’s CEO is paid $ 56,250 an hour. Domino’s CEO is paid $4875 an hour. Throwing that out there before anyone starts complaining that $20 an hour is too high. and we are always getting price increasing in food.
NO ONE STAYED IN CALIFORNIA
STOP EATING AT THESE PLACES
WE WILL PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS IN A YEAR
Minimum wage should be $100 an hour
loaf bread 50$ then! 👋
It will be one day
Minimum wages were frozen while these companies were raising prices by up to 60% . Can anyone please tell me why this is acceptable?
Big fast food chains will:
1) Pass the added costs to the customers.
2) Cut hours and/or employees.
3) Sacrifice quality for cheaper ingredients/supplies.
4) Close shop and move to another state.
Businesses will never compromise their earnings, bonuses and salary raises to favor the lower part of the food chain.
🎯
Margot Roosevelt needs to realize that the fast food industry already has a low profit margin as it is... You raise minimum wage, they still need to pay the rent, utilities, insurance, etc... They're going to automate at that point...
or go bankrupt.......
Margot Roosevelt is just out of touch with the real world.
@@PatrickDempsey-bx9pi - I hope people continue to move out of California. Honestly, surprised that Gavin Newsome is considering running for president under that record.
I need for the rest of us to get a raise as well. There are people with degrees that need raises as well. CNA’s aren’t even making that much. This is wild.
It seems like every news outlet is reporting this story, but this journalist took the story in a whole different direction. Maybe next time interview an economist for an additional perspective.
These huge rich companies use anything they can to claim a reason for raising their prices and lowering their quality. Its all greed. They can afford to pay their workers fairly, they just dont want too

Best comment here
Near the LA county/ Orange County border line in California.The fast food lines for Burger King and Carl's Jr. are empty. To get pizza, take out, delivery and tip It's close to seventy five dollars. 3 Large jersey mike sandwiches with tip and tax was 77.00 dollars. There's no way I'd go back there with minimum wage at twenty dollars for fast food workers only.
What to know? Simple. It’s unsustainable and will destroy the fast food industry. The mother of six who is feeling so good about the raise needs to brace herself for being unemployed. And the sad part is, she’ll still have no clue how this happened to her.
She's the wrong economist to be asked to explain why fast food restaurants should have a $20 per hour minimum wage. She should have addressed why the general minimum wage did not go up as well.
Is someone going to tell this Margo about the minimum wage increase for the past 10 years and the labor laws. I mean at this point let’s close all’s the stores and let Margo run them cuz she knows how profitable they are by working at a 9-5 and getting free insurance from from government 💀
Margot is clueless as to how anything operates.
Costs are up at fast food restaurants because commodity prices are through the roof. Food stuffs cost more today than they did even 2 years ago.
Labor costs are exploding because of these wage increases that are being mandated. Fast food work is supposed to be entry level not a career unless you are getting into management.
Rent, insurance, utilities have all skyrocketed recently. Cause and effect.
Targeting the franchisees isn’t the way to go after the companies. They are going to bankrupt small business owners who can’t afford to keep their doors open. The corporations will be insulated just as they always have been.
It amazes me that people, even supposed in the know people really can’t see wha the issues are. Or they are just too inept and obtuse to see it.
Something has to break at some point. It’s going to be fun to see what gives first.
She is an activist and not a journalist. She knows what she is doing.
ALL SECTORS NEED MONEY AS WELL, NOT JUST ONE SECTION
My daughter became a registered dental assistant in California.. She’s barely making over minimum wage and now she has a loan to pay back. She should have stayed in fast food while going to school to become a nurse now.
I agree $20 an hour in California isn’t very much, but what about the jobs that require schooling and cost money to attend, but don’t pay much over minimum wage?
The higher wages doesn’t have to mean higher prices. It’s just the corporations would dare lower their profit margins or take a hit for their workers. Businesses would sooner willingly go bankrupt than reduce their profit (or CEO salaries + bonuses) by even 1%. The wage increase isn’t the problem. The problem is corporate greed. Period
Why should they? The goal of business IS to profit. Try North Korea if that's what you're into.
@@WSTofKMT U can go to north💩💩 I’ll buy your ticket
Again, most corporations aren't being impacted. Their franchisees are impacted. The franchisees will have to find a way to absorb the costs or figure out a way to cut costs.

@@adventurousloner People aren't "losing their jobs" to AI - the jobs are just moving from one sector to another - the worker to the people programming, building and maintaining robots or AI. The usefulness of humans in fast food is coming to an end. Maybe not right away, but in the close future.
Those who okayed this law did it intentionally to have mass layoffs in California.

Why are fast food workers, paid MORE than CA Minimum Wage?
By next year, A.I. is going to replace 30% of these jobs.
restaurant owners saving the $4 per/hr increase is hundreds of thousands a year, doing away with employees and saving on the $16 minimum base wage is a multi million dollar windfall ...automation never looked sooo good
Fast food has always been a starter job
Why has her time finnaly come ?? Why can’t she look somewhere else for betger hope
This isn't the win people think it is. The stores will cut hours and jobs and move toward more automation. And prices will definitely go up. It was already too much for what it was. This will start the doom loop of higher prices meaning less customers. Less customers means higher prices.
All those points she made about employees not having resources are just more incentive for these businesses to move toward further automation.
As much as they are charging for food nowadays ... Employees should get no less than $25
I don't think you understand how this works.
Freaking doubling the cost of a pretzel since 2019...wow
8 bucks for some bread 💀
I hate to say it but raising the minimum wage also raises the poverty limit. When wages go up, taxes go up, prices go up, and everything else goes up. All of the benefits go to the state, and federal government with increased tax incomes from income tax, and sales tax all across the board. This will eventually drive out more people and businesses. California is caught in a bankruptcy spiral where it can no longer control its economic woes. This also benefits the unions and labor controls. This will spill into service restaurants and a repeat of the same dilemma. Fast food restaurants were jobs for school-age people wanting a little cash during school years, not careers.
This is actually good news. People will eat less fast food and make their own food. $18 for a Subway sandwich is insane. These fast food workers don't know what they are getting into. They will all be on the streets.
But what about the small, independently owned businesses?
Unecessary. Bye bye useless businesses.
It doesn’t apply to them
LoL.... That food doesn't taste good or good for you. They fought so hard to get fired. More homeless to come.
Not eating anything at a fast food joint for months. Eating healthier and cheaper at home. Dropped 10 lbs in 10 weeks
If you can’t afford a place to live now, $4 more an hour is not going to change that.
$7 for a pretzel that costs 15 cents to make!
Sports arena-type pricing now out on the streets ….. yeahhhhh no thanks
@@billkittleman9631 meanwhile blame the workers wages!wonder how many pretzels they put out an hour!
If you gave money to newsom you are exempt
i gave him a dollar
20 dollars an hour? And six kids? Good luck.😂
Greed. It’s not an arms race and not only ‘Big whatever industry’. A lot of business owners in this country have unbridled greed.
She said she will keep her fingers and toes crossed. She needs to keep her legs crossed! She has 6 kids!
thats what i just said.!!!!!!!!!!
You said what everyone else was thinking.😂
$20 an hour is crazy for flipping burgers
If you can’t pay workers a living wage you don’t deserve to own a business 👀
@@GeorgeSchneider8889 na. This forces prices to go out for everybody. People choose the job. If you want more money, go somewhere else and that’s for any job.
@@GeorgeSchneider8889.. go get a job as a welder if you want that money but if you want to be a welder you have to apply yourself and pay attention..
In a lot of nursing homes CNA‘s make far less than this. They actually have peoples lives and their safety in their hands. They are getting paid 15 $16 an hour for changing soiled diapers and other back breaking tasks. Where is the wage increase for them?
@@GeorgeSchneider8889Whose living?
It amazes me that we don't provide gradual 3% annual minimum wage increases like many other countries. With that said, fast food is also not meant to be a life-long career. Duh...
No job is meant to be a career, because jobs don’t exist to give employees a way to earn money. Employers hire people when and if they need labor, and there’s no guarantee that that ned will match employees’ need for work.
What they don’t realize their taxes are going up, this is the employees. Wages will never keep up with inflation. The homeless are living on the street is because of drugs they don’t want to follow the rules and prefer to live in a tent.
20 an higher equal higher taxes and you still can’t afford a place with 10 hrs a week smh.
Welcome to the United States of Cuba/Venezuela/Zimbabwe
Ah yes, I bet you wanted to say this is equivalent to the Holocaust, too? Like Marjorie Greene? Smh.
Pretty much.
Biden's and the democrats vision of America
Has anyone of you question why its only fast food? Think about it.
Fast food will start charging 30 dollars for a burger and business will start leaving or closing.
It's not like they put any effort, say, like education into securing their own futures.... Nobody has any sense of personal responsibility anymore. Maybe that lady wouldn't be homeless if she didn't have 7 mouths to feed. Where are the fathers of these kids? Which brings us right back to personal responsibility....
I’m sure they’d love to get an education if they had the time or money to spare.
