I actually enjoy 15 dollar min wage...it's nice to deal with a machine that gets my order right instead of an entitled dipshit who would rather talk on their "sail" phone than do the job they're being paid to do
You shouldn't, it'll be a death knell for most Americans. Anyone currently earning 12-25$ will see their purchasing power massively reduced, as prices will go up, but their wages relative to the minimum wage will not.
If the minimum wage is currently 10$ (round number) and someone is earning 12$, they're 2 bucks an hour ahead of the game. After the raise, they're dead even. If someone is earning 20$ an hour, they're 100% ahead every hour they work, after the raise, they're only 33%.
And that's if they get to keep their jobs. This is the kind of thing that results in the Whitehouse being overrun by rioters.
The problem with the purchasing power analogy is that is fails to take into account hyper inflation, which always comes from giant leaps in minimum wage hikes. Yes, your purchasing power is now on par with other minimum wage earners as people raise prices to offset the increased cost, but that problem compounds itself. You're no longer on par with minimum wage when you were once ahead. No, now you and the minimum wage slackers are behind where they were before the hike.
And that's assuming any of you kept your jobs, which most of you won't.
My friend in Australia always tells me how great their $19 minimum wage is, but when I ask him how much a gallon of milk costs and he tells me its $8 I laugh my ass off at him. 7.25/2.50 < 19/8.
It kills lots of other jobs but yeah I’m surprised that people prefer self service kiosks. I’ve noticed it’s the antisocial though.
Most people do because it's easier than speaking to some dipshit who barely speaks English and will get your order wrong
