Saw this coming from a mile away. Hospitality workers say if someone at McDonald's is making $20/hr then we should be making $25/hr.

California Workers DEMAND $25 Hour Minimum Wage As State LOSES 10,000 Jobs From Fast Food Wage Hike!

Slight problem, when the shit starts to hurt they'll move to your state in even bigger numbers.  

I am all for them feeling the pain, believe me.   We just need a way to stop them from doing the same shit in the sane parts of the country.

Pump up those wages, and eventually BurgerBot 9000 becomes a practical alternative to meat-people employees.


Eventually, each shift is just one or two employees who sweep up, handle the cash, and call the techs out when there's a glitch.

People don't get taught economics in high school and most don't pay attention to it, if they even have to take it, in college.

I said this a long time ago to the min wage increase freaks... If you get bumped to $20hr, your manager and everyone else is going to demand an increase, and costs will increase across the board, it will be a zero gain in the end, but they don't listen, because they are stupid.

Now everyone is trying to demand a tip in order to make their employees/position more attractive.

They want shit that "sounds good" but lack the ability to think through the consequences... or even recognize the consequences when they are bitten in the ass by those consequences.

Most will just double-down on stupid shit.

What these people don't get is that they are fast food workers, generally considered to be among the lowest skilled workers out there.

Oh, many people working fast food are doing a good job but if they had skills they would go somewhere else. And a great many fast food workers are so bad at their jobs that it keeps people away from fast food restaurants.

Now, you go paying $25 an hour for fast food and what happens is the fast food restaurants suddenly can start hiring people who are worth $25.00 an hour. And that means the current fast food workers lose their jobs. I mean, if you are paying $10.00 an hour you might have to put up with the slack jawed tatted up guy who comes in smelling like weed 15 minutes late every day. He's all you can get for $10 and hour. But if you have to pay him $25 then why not get rid of him and get someone who will show up early, clean and eager to do the job?

This dumb ass couldn't speak any English, let alone read or understand it.
I said loudly that this is what $20/hr gets you, and started walking out.
A worker in back told that was rude.

As I was going through the door, 3 more people followed me.
He comes the manager asking what's wrong.

You can't really gatekeep the labor market in some centrally planned appropriate age per job scheme according to your whims. Wages are depressed broadly, and it doesn't help that we've offshored a lot of middle class jobs over the last few decades.  We're barely keeping a lid on the economic situation as it is. When the day comes that people can't even afford to eat, which seems like a certainty at the rate we're going, things are going to get violent.

I would rather address the issues now than hit that point, which is why I don't like clowning on the service industry that much. The vocal minority calling for minimum wage increases are usually assholes and communists, but that doesn't change the fact that there's a much greater number of people silently struggling to get ahead right now, and I don't like lumping them in with the former.

Not really true.

Certain professions like waiting tables and delivering food still get low wages ( below minimum even in some states ) because they are tip based jobs.

If you are talking about actual hourly $15 an hour fast food staff sure, they were never required to be tipped as much as some seem to think so.

But tip based jobs are a different thing.

Service based economies do not work.

Spending more than you take in from revenue does not work when you are dumping it into nonproductive personnel/zero return-net loss endeavors.

Non real asset backed currencies do not work.

we’ve been concurrently raping and doing cpr/resuscitation on an economy with all three features for decades.
