So stupid. Now people like me who are studying for a degree will have to find a better place to work where our diplomas are actually worth something.

Goodbye jobs, goodbye small business, hello $17 value meals from mcdonalds

The morons on the city board are gonna wonder why restaurants and small business's will either close or move out of the city. Then will blame their high and ever rising unemployment on corporate greed claiming these business owners would rather maximize there profits than pay a " living wage " to deserving low skilled workers. When they should accept responsibility for their failed policies that have caused the once great city of Los Angeles to be on the verge of bankruptcy with epidemic crime rates and levels of poverty.

They also should realize that a burger flipper should (emphasize should) bea high-school level job and not a career (unless you own a franchise and other high level stuff).

College costs ~25,000 a year. At $7.25 an hour you need to work 60 hours a week for a year to pay that off. Twenty years ago you could work 40 hours a week for a year at minimum wage and pay for college.They also should realize that a burger flipper should (emphasize should) bea high-school level job and not a career (unless you own a franchise and other high level stuff).
Also, convert the US minimum wage to many European countries currency. Compare that countries minimum wage then to our conversion and to use an analogy, our minimum wage would seem like the wages of an illegal.
Also, the price to escape poverty in the US is greater than that of other European countries. Working a minimum wage job isn't an option to escape but sometimes it's the only choice some needy people have.

Now you're probably sitting back on your fancy shmancy smart phone complaining how others income will somehow affect your steady flow of cash. You can create all these logical reasons about how prices may go up and whatnot but nobody knows for certain what will happen by raising the minimum wage until it's raised. And I can tell you for certain that your fast food shitty burger cost the company probably 20 cents in labor and materials combined. That means they're making 80 cents a burger. With the amount McDonald's sells a day, they can afford to not pay minimum wage but they're too focused on increasing profits

I took a couple minutes to actually research the cost of a hamburger at Mcdonalds
McDonald's expects an order to be assembled in 45 seconds or less. Speaking from experience there, I can make a burger in less than 15 seconds but let's assume the average time is 30 seconds to make a $1 burger.
There are 3600 seconds in an hour. I get paid $7.25 and hour. I can make 120 burgers in an hour. 7.25 / 120 is and .06 so it costs about 6 cents for me to make a burger there in labor. The materials to make a hamburger cost 34 cents (source: https://m.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1ueddc/thought_you_guys_would_like_to_see_exactly_how/ sidenote: you can see how much other menu items cost here) so that's a 60 cent profit to be had on my 6 cents of laborEdit: that's not to include the fact that as an employee gets better, the amount of time to make a burger goes down. Therefore the cost per burger goes down and the profit per burger goes up when you have good employees.

1.Inflation is a certain thing.
2. Mc Donald's isn't the only minimum wage job so your burger making theory can't be applied to everything.
3.Some people don't want to go to college,they rather a las be passed where they can strong arm the employer.
4.I worked hard to get this fancy shmancy phone.
5.Undocumented workers do bring wages down.I know from personal experience.

Cactus, that was an interesting read, but I have to pick apart your reasoning a bit. When you make burgers, you are not operating at maximum efficiency. You aren't a machine. You have to factor in all the seconds your aren't assembling product. Second, you left out OVERHEAD. What about your manager? The lights over your head? The lawsuits by old ladies with coffee-burnt thighs? The cost of the property the building is on?
The operation of a McDonalds is what I would call a sub-minimum wage for business owners.
Because the parent company makes profit because of the massive scale and their real estate holdings does not mean that a franchisee is at home rolling around on piles of cash stolen from under-paid workers.
-
Bottom line, as long as it is a competitive market, profits will be relatively slim across the board. The cheapest product in a market generally means costs were cut as low as possible in production. So isn't the cause of underpaid workers at McDonalds and Walmart, and every other evil target of the week because we demand cheap product?
Tell us please how to fix that.
I suppose we have to outlaw cheap shit.
Hence, raise minimum wage.
Prices go up. People earn more, but their dollar is worth less. Winner: none.
Yeah, I think stop fucking with it.

There are successful and unsuccessful franchisees. In not saying it's wrong for him to be successful but at the same time, there are some people who can afford a cut to their check for others to be paid.
Many people think congress shouldn't get their checks until those in the military get theirs first because congress decides who to fight without going to the frontlines themselves.
Another example, my now old high school claims to be piss poor and burried in debt. Yet all the administrators drive everywhere in corvettes and other expensive cars. That doesn't sit right with me at all knowing that there are teachers who can't afford mortages because their salary was cut due to the school's "debt"
-
Cactus, sorry but as a hard working American I gotta say you can kiss my ass. It chaps your ass that a franchise owner drives up in a nice car while his employees are underpaid? They need to get their fucking hustle on, minimum wage is $7.25 here and I've never once had a minimum wage job. Lowest wage I ever made was $10 an hour because I'm not scared to work out in the heat and get my hands dirty.
-
No one owes these people a damn thing, I understand some people HAVE to work at these places because they have no other options and some money is better than no money. Most of these guys are just too lazy to do anything and want money to mess up people's orders. You don't have an argument, you have an issue with the distribution in wealth then move to a communist country. Let me know which one you prefer.
-
That gets right to the point. You don't want a living wage through an increased minimum wage. You want the profit earners to take a cut for the employees. That can't be legislated through minimum wage law. The owners simply increase the cost of the product, which devalues the wage earned by the employees.
-
Here numb nuts you guys panic and criticize to quick. Here's a link stating it's not going to happen from one day to another so hold your horses. It'll still take another year to get the minimum wage to $13 followed by yearly raises I concur it's a stupid thing to do bc they are going to find ways to screw over people in that amount of time raising prices. This will give the small businesses time to see how much they need to raise the prices on their supply to still make profit.

i worked at burger king in high school. we thought it was awesome when minimum wage went up, raises fir everyone! if course almost everyones hours were cut so they didnt have to raise prices. hard workers like myself were rewarded with more hours but had to work harder because there were less of us. lazy workers lost hours. if you need the government to give you a raise you're going to be screwed in the end no matter what. you want more you have to earn it.
