McDonalds is not going to go out of business becasue of a $15 minimum wage. The McDonalds in Burlington already pays $17 an hour.

It's not going to happen. People have wised up. They are no longer taking jobs that pay shit.

Bingo...you get a cigar.....so you can't force them to pay $15 an hour...especially while there are Biden illegals willing to take $8....
All it will do is cause McD's to go under...is that what you want?....

Average pay at McDonalds across the country is $11.94. Some already paying $15 or maybe more, without being forced.

Thousands of workers in food service, hospitality and retail are still making below $15 an hour, including the majority of workers at big-box stores and discount retailers.

Service Workers at America’s Biggest Companies Still Don’t Make $15 an Hour

Want to talk to some of my nephews and nieces who work shift manager jobs?

Then they get told that by the store owner/franchise owner that they have to hire the owners children but if the children don't want to do a job they don't have to and of course the store/franchise owner doesn't feel obligated to be there at any time to do inventory or help out either.

Then the store/franchise owner gets all pissed off when their shift manager tells them...

*****SMILE*****

they should take their experience and become their own boss

I have no idea what they will do. What I do know is that a lot of managers are working 7 days a week because they can't find help. I'm one of them.

So if mcd goes down and fires everyone it's catastrophic? Explain how?

A whole new crop of slave laborer's have been coming across the border for two years... we try and tell you libs that bringing in these people will lower the pay scale for everyone.....
What's that saying? every action has an equal but opposite reaction.....

So then what's the problem?.....market forces will work if left alone by gooberment.....

It would appear they haven't made to the northeast yet.

Mickey D's is not bad, all things considered. They promote (and give raises) quickly and from within. My son worked at one, and I did too when I was a kid.

I have no problem. I'll go you one better. In my opinion, marketplaces find the pay level necessary to float the boat. A mandatory minimum does nothing in the long run but spur inflation, by artificially increasing the resource price of labor above market pressures to get and keep labor. That is a Keynesian viewpoint, but what do you expect? I made my A's in Econ back in the 1980s.

Good, because it is all just menial labor that used to pay $8.50 an hour.

Do these jobs really need to be filled?
