    Fatburger is thinking outside the box.
    All drive throughs have been updated to weigh scales so if you drop twenty pounds between visits you get a free shake (cup not included)

    What’s the point Frank? You either pay to live or die. Hopefully it’s at an Arby’s

    The single purpose of life is to last longer. You will be eaten at some stage.

    Are you shitting on high school kids and their first job?

    This just speeds up the inevitable replacement of low wage workers with robotics and AI.

    Can’t raise it all at once, people will notice.

    Raise it a little now….a little more next month…a little more the following….then have a sale back to the second raise

    Then a double raise after the sale.

    If memory serves, young Benjamin was born in 2010. This being 2024, will he be making bank at these fast food establishments some time soon?

    Easy $20 an hour.

    $100k is the new $50k. $20 is the new $10. Is that “bank”? I suspect Ben would open your eyes to a tweener’s real world expenses. Inflation is what it is.

    That Newsom is a weasel is the real issue. Thankfully, not my issue

    Minimum wage increase is short term positive long term destructive for entry level jobs.


    Kids don't understand what the experience of a full service gas station was back in the day. Now its you and a credit card and you lucky if they have fresh windex out. The person who really gets fucked is the 15 year old boy who is denied an opportunity to do entry level work on cars. Shame

    Funny you mention this, because there's a fairly new (2022) gas station by me, and I noticed that the hours were shitty. Like it was closed by 8pm. Whenever I tried to go in the late evening or middle of the night, I couldn't get gas there.

    Anyway one day I'm driving by and I see the pumps all lit up, yet the little mini-mart on the property was dark. I stopped by and, indeed, the pumps were turned on, but you couldn't interact with a human being. I filled up, and chalked it up to the dude forgetting to turn the pumps off (something I once saw occur at another gas station by me, which closes at 10).

    But no. Apparently the owner decided just to leave everything on 24/7, even if he leaves the property by 8. So for about 12 hours per day, that gas station has zero employees, yet is open. I wonder how long until dude realizes that it's not worth his time (or worth paying an employee) to be there at all, and just lets it run itself.

    This is because many restaurants don't pay rent, but instead have a deal with the landlord to give a certain percentage of gross sales to them, regardless of profit.

    Some clever owners started using this 3% surcharge trick in order to avoid passing that 3% on to the landlord. I'm not sure how it's legal, but it is somehow. I learned this from a friend who owns an LA restaurant. I went down to his place and noticed this 3% bullshit. I told him later, "I don't want to tell you how to run things, but just letting you know this sort of thing really gets customers angry, and I think you'd be better off just adding 3% to each item's price, as that won't be noticed nearly as much." He then explained to me that the 3% doesn't get shared with the landlord, which is a big savings to him. I then felt like a fool for giving advice to someone who knew way more about the industry than I did, and I apologized for the suggestion.

    Once again, this looks like lies by statistics.

    Average age of a fast food worker is 26.4? Even if that's true, what is the MEDIAN age? How come that isn't listed? That's the more important stat than average. If a fast food place has one 50-year-old, one 20-year-old, and two 16-year-olds, the average age is 25.5.

    Then there's the matter of "average salary". Looks brutal when you see $14k, but is this full time? Most fast food workers are part time.

    Finally, it does not define what a fast food "worker" is. Does this include the manager? The owner-manager? I bet it does. Obviously the manager is old, but is also better paid. Any owner-manager shouldn't even count.

    "The minimum wage has not kept up with the cost of living" is another left wing lie.

    I know this because I worked for minimum wage at a grocery store in early 1990. I made $4.25 per hour.

    That translates to $10.35 today. Go check it out for yourself: https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc...1&year2=202402

    Somehow the minimum wage wasn't a huge issue in 1990, but today it's made out to be greedy corporations exploiting the lower classes.

    It's all just rhetoric.
