McDonalds' Higher Wages = Higher Sales...

Results are the same regardless

That is where you are wrong. When government sticks its nose into things, the results are pretty much always worse. For example....look at the transgender bathroom nonsense in NC. Could have simply left it alone and let businesses decide how to solve their own problems. But the government had to get involved, and now it's illegal for a father to take his three year old daughter into a public bathroom when she has to make potty.

No its not...stop being fucking silly. The results are the same like I said.

You can tell me WHY your reason to be against it is different but it all leads to the same conclusion.

Right wingers hate having the government tell them to do anything. It impinges on their “freedom”.

To hell with rights of workers to receive a living age for their labour.

No one has a right to a living wage. That's something entirely made up by socialist morons.

The ignorance and stupidity of American right wingers knows no bounds.

The US is the only first world country in the world where the middle class subsidizes the low wages of manual labourers through social spending. It is such an economically draining and stupid system but Americans refuse to give it up. All while complaining about the the level of social spending.

Most of US social spending could be eliminated by raising the minimum wage. But that would be logical and cheaper than the current system so of course the idiot right opposes it.
"I'm going to raise your hourly wage from $12 to $15 an hour. Then you won't need to have your health care subsidized by the tax payers who went to school, studied instead of getting stoned and then were able to get decent paying jobs. Sounds great!".
The top ten percent pays 80% of federal taxes. Fifty percent of wage earners pay ZERO in federal taxes.
DO THE FUCKING MATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fortune.com: McDonald's CEO Says Better Worker Benefits Boosting U.S. Sales

“The improvements we made to our compensation and benefits package to employees in U.S.-company operated restaurants, along with expanding Archways to Opportunity … have resulted in lower crew turnover and higher customers satisfaction scores,” Easterbrook said.

No kidding, for some reason you don't feel raising the minimum wage would raise the price of just about everything. Which in turn will raise the poverty line. And we're the ignorant ones.

History tells us your theory is a lie. Bill Clinton raised the minimum wage and unemployment fell. So did social spending.

In the 1950’s, minimum wage provided a modest roof over your head, and three squares a day. A basic living. Now you need a second job, food stamps and Section 8 to get the same basic living. Think of the costs of processing all the paperwork and payments involved. It would be much cheaper all the way around if companies simply paid their employees the double the current minimum wage without all of the intervening paperwork and the associated costs.

Great, we're now resorting to subjective terms (i.e. modest roof and a basic living). With today's minimum wages you can still get a modest roof over you head and three squares a day. Although your definition of a modest roof and three squares is probably not the same as it was in the 50's.

You can’t pay rent and buy food on today’s minimum wage. Even in a small town you need a second job.
Sounds like a personal problem
 
Pay amount always equates to greater effort. If one pays minimum wage one doesn't expect good productive effort. It is that simple.

No it does not. There have been studies on it where pay increases didn't equal greater work output. However one study did show that if an employer gives a gift, let's say a bonus of some sort, that did produce higher work output for a short period of time, maybe a week or two.
Now for the reality.
Over the years I employees hundreds of min. wage employees working in the FF industry.
Employees who were the most productive are ALWAYS productive, no matter the job.
Employees are the happiest in their job are those who generally are 'happy' people wherever they are..at home at or work.
The 'cream' always rises. The best employees, who always show up on time, clean and sober always are the ones who move up the ladder, as far, or not as they wish to.
You could pay a fucking dead-beat dirty stoner fifty bucks an hour for flipping burgers and their productivity would actually get worse.
 
FTA:
McDonald’s MCD 0.84% on Friday reported its third straight increase in quarterly comparable sales, helped by moves such as bringing back All-Day breakfast and offering new menu options.

But another move by McDonald’s is behind this reversal of fortune for the hamburger chain, which had posted two years of declines through last fall: higher wages and tuition help for employees.


Pssssh...What does the CEO of McDonalds know about running a business? Doesnt he know that if he raises wages he'll have to create $10 hamburgers and no profits!! Communists boy I tell ya!

Get some real world experience ya dam Marxist.
All day breakfast ! Man dem niggaz gonna be happyNshit, wakes up, smells dat coffee and head out for some late night burglarizing......altho by now I'm sure you get " quieres papas con el breakfast taco dasayuno mae ?" Con limon ?

If minimum wage back then could have provided all you said, why did we need Section 8 at the first place?

I have no idea. American public assistance programs are heavy on oversight and administration because Ametucans are terrified that someone may cheat the system. So they spend twice as much as necessary on administration to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Terrified someone may cheat the system? No, terrified the system is too easy to cheat.
Welfare Fraud
