so are jobs not supposed to exist for the 15-20 year olds ? Everyone jsut supposed to make the same money rather 15 or 35 that is content living at the bare minimum ? No need to strive for more ? 32 hours a week (part time hours) would need to be around $15-16.

an extra $5 a hour across lets say 10 employees comes out to near $200,000 extra a year in payroll.

To scoop chicken.

We raised min wage in California and most jobs even chipotle and mcondalds now offer near $5 more hour than min wage.

Still cant find employees. The goal posts will always be moved.

the real truth is, kids just dont want to work anymore (although I do agree their should be a cap on how many orders a place should take an hour to maintain a healthy moral and workload. These places arent built for mass digital orders + being open inside, but this isnt a hourly issue, this is a logistics issue)

It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level - I mean the wages of decent living

the fight for $15/hr started over a decade ago and when they finally got it, inflation happened as it always does and they were still getting a non-livable wage.

Why concentrate on digital orders though? Every time I go past a fast food restaurant and see a gang of Just Eat, Deliveroo & UberEats staff I walk past. They spend too much time on those orders than the people in the store.

it's possible those particular establishments are seeing more online orders than in-store orders, maybe even at a particular time of day.:ld:

This is why I stopped going to Chipotle early on, you'd stand in line for 10mins and then they'd lay a couple receipts on the counter and start making burritos in front of you like you don't exist. That place doesn't hit like it used to, and I hate when I ask my kids what they want and they say Chipotle.
