Seriously, I think all those places should just accept tips. I don't mind paying a buck or two more if I know it directly goes in the employees pockets.

The prices you posted as an increase if employees were to earn a $15 an hour wage, are basically what we are paying now in Canada for those menu items, and minimum wage falls between $10.30- $11.00 per hour depending on the province.

Maybe if these restaurants are forced to pay $15 per hour, they'll insist on decent intelligent workers and not just hire any brain dead moron off the street. I'd gladly pay a couple extra bucks for my food. Might boost the quality of the whole fast food experience.
These jobs aren't meant to be careers. They are meant to be stepping stones to move up Into the job market to better opportunities.

This is what people fail to understand most of these employees are lazy and will only work a minimal job, just enough so they can still qualify for welfare.

It's interesting. Most of the people (if not all) that I see that push this so hard and advocate for wage increases so high like this have clearly never owned a business...
While places like Mcdonalds will probably still survive.
You're effectively cutting the throat of mom and pop and family owned businesses. Which actually provide the most jobs in America.
They will be forced to compete with these wages. While big corps like Mcdonalds have massive revenues and can increase process to offset. Smaller businesses do not have this luxury
You think the middle class is dying now? Wait till you kill off your local home grown stores and businesses....
People talk about coorporate greed. What about personal accountability.

I dont understand why people think businesses shouldnt pay a living wage?
we have a minimum wage here in the UK and working for minimum wage still means you can't afford a place to live without government assistance. Surely a person day of abour should be enough for food and a place to live?

Ah...love the personal attack. I guess I hit a nerve, eh? I respect people who work at all levels, but any one who thinks that flipping burgers or mowing lawns is a great career choice is a idiot. If they use it as a stepping stone to become a franchise owner or to become management, then they are not.
