I don't eat at fast food restaurants very much, not healthy at all! I've had to for a few days as I traveled by car with wife and 8 week old puppy. So here's my assessment of the proposed increase in minimum wage.
I worked at a KFC before it was called KFC when I was in high school. I learned a lot and after high school I moved into better jobs. I never thought of it as a permanent job.
All the fast food restaurants that we used in five different states, had a lot of things in common. Place were usually dirty, unorganized, slow, slow and slow. Orders were usually wrong and in some cases lost.
I feel that in most cases, they were being overpaid!
The good news is, with our economy the way it is, if we go to $15 an hour, they will likely replace these employees with better qualified persons and/or machines.
Another advantage of the wage increase is the food prices will increase and force more people to eat at home which is healthier!
Bottom line is we need to do a better job in our education system. Start Vocational Schools.
