California’s $20 fast food minimum wage could be hiked again: ‘definition of stupidity’

Quote

California officials plan to ask for another hike to the state’s controversial $20 minimum wage for fast food workers – despite the new law being blamed for higher menu prices and restaurant closings since it went into effect in April.

Do they not realize this will do more harm than good. Pay raise is good, but too much too quick will cause more problems than issues it will solve.

“The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing repeatedly and hoping for a different result,” Tom Manzo, president of CABIA, the California Business and Industrial Alliance, told The Post on Thursday.

Actually that's the definition of insanity.

“California has already killed thousands of fast food jobs with its misguided wage mandates, and this new union proposal will only do more damage.”

YEP!

The increases are coming too fast. This will only foster greed.

Those fast food workers don't deserve $20 an hour or more until they learn to start getting orders right and stop skimping on portions.

If they think this will help, it won't. A lot of fast food employees are losing their jobs and getting hours cut. Prices are going up. They had more money before all these hikes.

This is absolutely not good at all.

I agree. These people think if they get a wage increase that it will help them pay their bills. It won't. Those prices will also soon increase. Then, back at where they were.

Holy moley! In my case, the only fast food I've had since COVID hit was Pizza Hut, and that's only on Super Bowl Sunday.

Another raise! I fast food workers don't deserve it. Get orders right. Stop cheating customers. Then they might.
