In-n-Out is not a publicly owned company, they're owned by a small super religious family (the girl president right now had a wild youth but basically got her act together when she hit her late 20s before she was given the company to run). The family's objective isn't to make the maximum return they possibly could, but to make a decent amount while also taking care of their workers and while making a decent product. They can do this precisely because they don't answer to shareholders the way that >>16098942 implies.

If In-n-Out were publicly owned, the shareholders could demand that they cut wages so that profits would rise. But since it's family owned that won't happen. And since the family that owns it is religious and takes seriously its responsibility to take care of others, they'll continue to pay good wages as long as the revenue those shops generate supports it.

And when wages arer higher, that's a good thing because MORE people can afford stuff. That's good for business. Also, >implying minimum wages are the only wages that matter in inflation.

It's mostly because other people's wages go and the business owners driving the cost up for more profit to themselves, not the people working in minimum wages. The minimum wage has only very little portion to do with the inflation. It's basic maths. It can't be the main reason for inflation because the wages are usually about 10 percent of the final product. Raising minimum wage DOUBLE would only mean costing 10 dollar meal 11 dollars now. It's the owners driving the price up and blaming minimum wage. Surely you aren't that naive that you believe their bullshit. It's greed, not the minimum wage people's fault.

I don't know about that. Those businesses sure do get a lot of subsidies, grants, and handouts from the gubmint every time something bad happens. Can't say they are taking 100% of the risk. The people working there are also taking a risk in trusting that the owners know what they are doing as far as business goes, and that they are being given a fair shake.
Seems like everyone there is taking some kind of risk, but the owners are the only ones capable to mitigating the damage they take by tossing the employees under the bus first.

Hey, all you people crying about making less than burger flippers in LA, I have a question: do you also live in LA, where every job pays a high wage because the cost of living is so high, or do you live in Nowheresville, Buttfuck County in Flyoverland, where you can buy a house for $10k but the only jobs are at the local Walmart?
Because I work in Alaska, in the summers, and make four times what I make when I go back to my little shitfuck town in Florida, but the cost of living in Alaska is nearly as bad as what it is in los Angeles, and mind you, the resort I cook at pays for my housing.

i live in LA and work as a grocery store clerk. i make $18 an hour whereas the same position elsewhere would probably be like $15.

im fortunate enough where im only paying for partial rent so i can get by and still have left over money to buy whatever the fuck i want.
and to go off what that EMT anon was going on, one of my old coworkers was an EMT and i believe he was paid like $20 an hour.

This doesn’t make any sense. if the distributor screws up then the kitchen is missing ingredients and the cooks don’t “take shortcuts” they simply put a sign up saying they are out of certain ingredients and they aren’t available. This happened with Romaine lettuce for awhile, member?

If you order something the restaurant says they do not have your order is not wrong if it comes without it. A bad distributor screws the restaurant location but it won’t cause the wagies to make mistakes

Here in Ohio, total unemployment benefits for an individual are $800 per week after the federal government bonus ($500 from state, $300 from federal). Comparing to a 40 hour work week, that's equivalent to $20 per hour, which is given for not doing work AND higher than the $19.50 being advertised in OP's photo. Of course, most fast food workers actually work 25-30 hours per week, so they would have to pay their workers $26 to $32 per hour to give a 25-30 hour per week worker as much money as is offered by the government for unemployment right now. If you can't understand how ridiculously unsustainable this is then you deserve the inevitable inflation that will result from this. Enjoy your $15 McChickens.

Unemployment payments are taxed, but the federal government recently introduced an extra $10,200 tax deduction on unemployment earnings in addition to the normal $12,000 standard deduction. So if you're on unemployment for the entire year, the first $22,200 is untaxed while someone working a job for the whole year only gets the first $12,000 untaxed. Yet more reasons for people to avoid work.

You're arguing against basic economic principles because you feel bad.
I worked minimum wage at Subway in hs but was able to move over to landscaping which paid 1.5x as much since it wasn't 0 skill. If people are working full time and they aren't making enough they need to either get another side job and/or switch to a higher paying job

If minimum wage workers start getting paid twice as much it will cause a spike in prices. Maybe not immediately, but within a couple years.
If minimum wage workers are paid twice as much, people in OTHER industries will NOT get the same 100% raise to compensate. This means skilled workers will simply have their spending power reduced and exist closer to the minimum wage line than before while all the minimum wage workers will find their $17 per hour wages just as insufficient as they did their $8.50 per hour wages.
The minimum wage workers will end up right back where they started, accomplishing nothing except the erosion of working and middle class spending power. Everyone loses except the upper class.

If minimum wage workers get a 100% raise, let's say conservatively that prices have to go up by 25% to compensate. If prices at restaurants and grocery stores go up by 25% but I still only get my typical 3-5% annual raise, guess what happens to my ability to buy food. Go on, guess.

This is not actually as common as you think, you have above average financial awareness if you think this way. Most people who get to that income level go out to eat even more because they "can afford it" and are "too busy" to cook at home.

It's literally illegal for companies not to do everything in their power to increase profits year on year. It's called fiduciary duty, look it up. McDonald's could be sued if they increased wages without offsetting the loss with something that brings in equal or greater profits.

mostly a function of money-lending and interest schemes, rather than of average wages.

austraila is a good example. you can be a brainlet and go "THEY MAY MAKE 20$/h BUT A LOAF OF BREAD IS LIKE SIX BUCKS!!!" but if you cease to be a brainlet you see that that arrangement is far better than the current one of making 10$/h and a loaf of bread costing four bucks

The in n out near me is always crowded but even when you're in line behind a dozen cars you get your food faster than 2 people in front of you at burger king. It helps having hard workers that are trained well and an extremely simple, streamlined menu. Working there isn't as easy as other fast food places but the pay is good and they even have career options for people that are into that.
I don't think bk being forced to raise wage to $20 an hour will suddenly get rid of all the nonwhite employees that barely speak English or improve their training regimen and menu. Actually the minimum in my city is $15 an hour already and quality of service hasn't improved at all.

actually food in Australia is quite a bit more expensive than in the us, so your example is bogus. Of course claiming that only has to do with their minimum wages is ridiculous as there are a myriads of factors including they act as a bread basket for china which increases internal prices... but you are still full of shit.

It's because it's managed ethically, efficiently, and with the goal of it still being that way in 50 years. Notice how McDonald's would never have been nearly as successful if they weren't essentially a real estate company.
