its not healthy anyway, but they didn't need to raise the prices because of an increase in minimum wage....they would still have LOTS of profits anyway, but it's that never ending "must make even more profit! need to increase more more more" big corp mentality
This has been my motivator to STOP ALL fast food in my life. I ate fast food 12-15 times a month so far this year. This month it's been ZERO and I'm seeing my bank balance in a better condition. That's about $170 a month I'm now putting into my savings rather than hand it to someone in the drive thru.
It hasn't been fast food in years. the cashier does multiple roles. they will soon be doing cash, dumping fries, filling sodas, doing drive-thru before they can help the next customer.
We can avoid McDonald's, but we can't avoid grocery stores, or any place from which we purchase things to meet our basic needs. The law that upped minimum wage for fast food stores will spread out to cover all employers, and the prices for everything.
@@duncanbauer7309 I’ve been inside and never saw this. The crack near me has diverse employees. But also, I don’t touch junk/fast food anymore because it’s ridiculously unhealthy. An employee scratching themselves would be the least of your problems!
Good. Stop eating ultra-processed food. Remember, in California, this only applies to businesses with more than 60 locations and limited service. If anyone else claims they have to raise their prices, boycott them immediately.
When I was a kid back in the 60s, people only went out to eat for special occasions or when they were traveling. No one ate out regularly. The only exception was some places of work had a cafeteria which wasn't expensive and workers would eat their lunch there. Back in the 70s, the McDonald's hamburger was 30cents and its cheeseburger was 40cents. The portions were smaller and you rarely saw anyone overweight.
While I can afford to pay the increased prices, I have decided to start taking sandwhiches I make at the home for lunch. Everyone that works in my section is doing the same thing. I remember at the age of 16 in 1980, fast food employment was a stepping stone into the job market unless you were looking to go into management. It is a different story now.
I've stopped all fast food since this started, averaged 13-15 meals at fast food each month this year. Now I'm putting that money into my savings and watching it grow. Tonight was PBJ sandwich, tomorrow is home made pizza for about $2.50.
I havent had fast food since the hike.. in 3 Weeks ive lost weight.. love HANDLES dissapeared . For 20 bucks of groceries you can make 7 burgers instead of 1.. the ingredients are fresh and the choices are endless.. 😊
same here, totally stopped eating out since April 1. I was spending $170-$200 a month each month this year on fast food, now I'm transferring that cash into my savings.
@@rafimontoya8452 I ate fast food 12-15 times a month. I totally stopped on April 1 and am transferring that cash into my savings. I'm estimating $14 a meal 3x a week that's $42 I transfer for NOT eating out to my savings every Friday.
Imagine, forcing companies to pay $20 an hour (when the state minimum is $16) and people are baffled that prices have gone up at said companies. Crazy. Stop eating food that kills you
I remember when a hamburger was 20 cents and a cheeseburger was 25 cents at McDonald's. Anyone at that time who became a McDonald's franchise owner was guaranteed to become a millionaire back in the late 60's early 70's that was a fortune. Everyone could afford the food and the owner made a good profit. Makes you ask who screwed everything up so bad.
Only in California would going from $16/hr to unemployed be considered a wage hike. All those California workers can thank Newsom for their new pay raise.
I PAY $3 FOR A GREEK PASTA SALAD, $3.75 BLOCK CARROT CAKE, 2.00 FOR 8 COCONUT SHRIMP. $1.80 LARGE ORANGE JUICE, AND 4.50 FOR A CROSSIANT HAM SANDWICH!. THIS IS MY FASTFOOD! $15.05 WOO HOO!.
Instead of raising prices why not give a million or less to CEOs who make around 17 million a year. Hope they all go out of business and everyone eats healthier!
Your a fool and don't realize franchise owners are small business owners. $4 raise in minimum wage equals a loss of $250k to a restaurant like McDonald's franchisee not McDonald's corporation.
If everyone stopped going out to these places, you bet shareholders would do something about this situation. They'd do damn well anything to protect the bottom line.
It's like every generation is flabbergasted and floored when the same thing happens again. Why do people expect different results with the same situation.
Because the next generation hits voting age and the cycle repeats. You see what's going on at all the colleges? Bunch of kids that doesn't know how the world works but thinks they do until adulthood actually hits them by 30.
Dude their prices are up more than those claimed percentages. Remember the dollar menu that had McDoubles and mcchickens? That’s called the 5$ menu now. Taco Bell tacos were 1.20. That volcano taco they recently release was like 4.29$ for a single taco. That’s insane.
What are the prices in the McD app for deals in California? Here in central Texas, you can get two egg mcmuffins for about $5, 2x6 mcnuggets or 2 double cheeseburgers for about $3, $4 for 4pc mcnugget & cheeseburger & small drink & small fries
Already deleted my Starbucks,McDonald’s and pizza apps the day of the raises. They forgot one little thing in business, the consumer has the power to say NO!
These companies will not compromise their bottom line. It will be handed down to the consumers. They have the mentality that if you do not want or can’t pay for it, then step aside & let the person behind you step up & pay for it. The chickens will come home to roost
I actually don't like going out to eat. It's always overcrowded everywhere. I prefer to cook, undercook, overcook, whatever, as long as I don't have to be in crowded areas.
Another Generation about to say Goodbye to Fast Food as a Treat. 25 dollars for 1 Combo, 50$ for 2. Give Fifty Dollars to any Oma Opa and they can feed 2 for 4- or 5-days Hamburgers, nuggets and Fries on 1 of those days.
Fast food service is slow now and just more expensive. Not to mention the ever present discrimination to other industry workers' pay hovering in the air.
If I am a fast food restaurant owner, I am low key happy that the minimum wage hike passed. In the short term, the blow back for paying my workers will be tough, but over time, I will be able to replace them with technology and continue to raise my prices by blaming this new law. Win in the long run. Sympathy for the low level workers who will eventually lose their jobs and to the consumers who have to pay more for fast food.
Fast Food has been going up for a while but it's been slow. I used to be paid $20 for a family of 4. I remember when there was an actual dollar menu, not 1.49 or 2.50.
For a place like Taco Bell to even survive just shows you how crazy things are. Your basically paying $3.00 for a little more than a tablespoon of overly processed beef mixed with fillers. Inside of a tiny shell which may consist of 20% actual corn!
Not all Californians are paying more at fast food places. Some are just going somewhere else. We just had lunch at a small restaurant, there were so many people there it took twenty minutes to pay the tab. I hope what becomes the fast food chains loss, will become the mom and pop places gain. If you're going to pay more, you may as well eat better.
It's been proven in research studies just how addictive fast food is. They know higher prices might turn away a percentage of people that eat it semi-regularly, but their core addicted customers aren't going anywhere. I do feel for people that simply have nowhere to cook where they live that basically rely on fast food most of the time, but everyone that can cook at home should be doing it more often.
@@Hproawesome you're an awful awful person! i cant drive because my license is suspended and have to ubereats everything, also my stove doesnt work after i left my pans inside while it was on, SHAME ON YOU
Customers will stop eating out so much and the CEOs will eventually need to take less if they want to keep customers. Europe pays their workers a living wage, and they're not going broke over there. But they tax the wealthy and limit CEO pay.
Slow news day? 25-50 cents is not a big deal to anyone. This people pay money for gas to drive and get this food which is more then 50 cents. If they were worried about money they could cook at home. The big problem is high taxes being spent on illegals and homeless.
Exactly, this study estimates at MOST 80 cents on a 10 dollar bill is due to this increase in labor cost. Again this is at MOST. The study is proof that the increases at In-N-Out of about 50 cents is in line with increasing due to labor but the $1-$2 dollars being raised at other places like McDonalds is just straight up greedy opportunism
The problem people are seeing doesn't exist. If the gap between wages and cost of living are reduced, then prices will reflect that. Economist found that fast food companies only needed to raise prices by 10-50 cents to still be making considerable profit, and if people are putting more of their money back into the economy and working steady jobs (not having to juggle 3 jobs to make ends meet), that is good. If the fast food companies are doing so bad they need to react so aggressively to not go out of business, then I feel they have probably been cooking their books; Only other conclusion I could draw would be corporate greed, but doubt it as, like I said, they could still maintain considerable profit by a marginal increase.
I like how the obvious fallout from the wage increase was barely discussed beforehand and now everyone is like whaaaatttt the fast food companies are passing on the increases to consumer? whodathunk. Can say "Corporate greed/profits" til the cows come home but they arent not for profit, of course everyone has to pay more.
Hope CA EBT food stamp card raise benefit to public city or county social service raises all the benefits So CA people's can survivor And US social security benefits raised for California people's
I eat fast food almost every single day and I haven't noticed a single price increase yet anywhere. I think this is just another example of the media cherry picking info to make a story when there's no actual story there.
Its stupid to pay 20 someone who doesn’t do there job the way it should be its a waste of money I really don’t agree with the minimum wage going to 20 since everything else is gonna get more expensive at the end of day still the same thing no change if anything it’s even worse.
I still buy it, because it's good. Also how you do business is to make a profit, if you can't make a profit there is no point of a business. Why not support the cause and help pay for other people's living cost? You have to practice what you preach anyways.
Time to start making your own peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Wendy's should be an occasional treat, not a daily lifestyle
Exactly what I am doing, I enjoy me a good PB and J on fresh bread.
That's what I had for dinner tonight instead of Taco Bell and I've saved about $13 just in dinner.
Excellent news. Cook healthy (and cheaper) at home and stop eating junk fast food
Right on!
Please shut up.
You definitely feel the pinch around your waist after eating all that garbage. Lol
😂 I started to get a stomach after eating KBBQ everyday for 1 week 🐂
Imagine all the high fat and sodium content. 🤢

And healthier.
Stop eating fast food.
