Anyone expecting to make it to the big leagues with that Industry is delusional.
It's hard to disagree when you put it in terms of small business, isn't it? Places like McDs or Wally World probably "could" afford to pay the $15/hour, but most businesses don't do the volume of McDs and Wally World.
If this law passes, know where you'll eat and shop?
McDs and Wally World.
I like the system better as is, lots of low pay survival level jobs vs concentrated living wage jobs.
McDs is the LAST place I want to eat.
True story: My son at 13 had never eaten at Olive Garden, but loved Italian food that he'd had prepared by real Italian people in mom and pop restaurants.
One night my wife was out with coworkers and I had to feed him, he suggested Olive Garden because his friends had been telling them it was their favorite. On the way there he said he can't wait to try their breadsticks, and spoke of the other culinary delights he'd heard of.
When he ate the food, he was very disappointed. "These breadsticks are like we have at home!", "This soup is OK", "This pasta is average at best".
I told him this is the way of chain restaurants in mall parking lots- homogenized, bland food made to appeal to the customer on a budget, short on time.
He was disillusioned.
I like mom and pop businesses, even if the jobs there don't pay well.
