Yup, We ALL Saw This Coming: Fast Food Chains Get Rid Of Workers After $20 Minimum Wage Hike
Gee. It's amazing how all those 'experts' -- politicians, economists, journalists -- are never, ever able to see the consequences of the policies they support while gals like this writer (with an English and Nursing degree) can see those consequences coming from a mile away. Fast food chains find a way around $20 minimum wage: Get rid of the worker. In response to recent minimum wage increases in California, fast food restaurants across the state are shifting to automation to get rid of wage-earning humans. The move to making customers place orders at digital kiosks alleviates what owners say is the financial strain of rising labor costs after the minimum wage for the state’s fast food workers increased on April 1 from $16 to $20 per hour.
Harsh Ghai, a Burger King franchise owner who manages 140 outlets along the West Coast, is leading the transition to automation. He plans to introduce digital kiosks across all his restaurants within months — a drastic acceleration from his original timeline of five to 10 years. -- Thanks, Gavin! All those minimum wage workers who find themselves on the unemployment line now are so grateful for your advocacy! Totally shocked. Not. If only anyone had seen this coming… We all did.
