They should put laws in place preventing price hikes and short staffing. The cost needs to come out of the pockets of the CEOs.

They raise the price anyways. I worked at Taco Bell and they raised prices like 3 times before I got a dollar raise.

These companies jack the price up anyway. They gouge the customers even in places where workers make $7.50 an hour.

Might as well make sure the employees get paid better

Maybe they can hire some of those bums to get them off the streets. With this wage increase, they can afford some more basic needs.

When I was a a manager at McDonald's (like around 2007) they raised the minimum wage in NJ from 7.50 to 12 an hour. All the owner had to do to cover that was raise prices by like 10c. That's it.

They were raising prices before the they increased minimum wage pay. I doubt this will raise it by much.

But this is also true as well. They will most definitely be raising prices to match the wage.

Respectfully, the market hasn't been perfect for "mom and pop" stores for a loooong time.

I mean before some of us (not all of us) were born "long time".

The illusion of a bunch of chain stores in any given state ran by a family of two to five people that carry the economy on their backs is exactly that - an illusion. It's why they use the term "Small Business" instead nowadays.

A small business can have anywhere from 100 to 1500 employees. They might be distributed in smaller, local stores across multiple states or a single state. Their revenue is also generally less than $40 million annually, but greater than $1 million.

They get away with this because as a consumer, if you enter your local store and see 5 employees, you would definitely immediately consider them a small business. And you'd be right. But they're also propped up by an individual or individuals who have a large amount of capital to maintain and even profit off of an organization which requires minimal overhead.

Mom and Pop shops don't have that advantage. They are usually barely keeping their business running, unless they know how to utilize the same Govt. programs for assistance based on their location that small business owners do, as well as itemize every write off they can account for. They are also usually paying their family who works there with them off of the money they actually make.

Raising the minimum wage of workers at established businesses - small or large - should not do anything to mom and pop shops. Not in the least. Anything of the sort is the result of small business owners or large corporations trying to put the squeeze on them on purpose to increase their own profits.

They can still pay the migrant workers that harvest the ingredients a pittance and threaten them with deportation though, so the dream of capitalist exploitation lives on!

if you didn't read the article, "The mandatory raise would apply to all fast food restaurants in California that are part of a chain with at least 60 locations nationwide."

If they can't afford to pay $20/hr on California they shouldn't be in business or we need to make some major changes to our economic systems

Let me know when McDonald's can get their ice cream machines to work before we start to worry about them replacing drive thru employees with AI.
