California fast food prices raise after minimum wage hike | NewsNation Now

Popular fast food chains in California have gotten pricier since the state raised the minimum wage earlier this month. This comes after months of franchise owners warning prices would go up. Correspondent Nancy Loo joins "NewsNation Now" with the latest, saying some California residents are changing their eating habits amid the rising costs.

[@rickreallylikedthevideobut7899]

[@MichellePlaisance]

So let’s put it this way. Price of gas goes up which means the price of everything that is delivered goes up. Minimum wage goes up which I’m not saying is bad but the consequences of both of those means the owners of those businesses have to raise their prices in order to make money. So maybe that raise only covers the additional cost of groceries and gas among other things. It’s a vicious cycle that continues to grow out of control.

It is called education without so much procreation. Remember when fast food were high school student's jobs. Not meant to have and raise family. Raising minimum wage lowers educational necessity for the lazy.

[@jakebailey6285]

In 1988, fast food workers were paid $3.35 an hour, the equivalent of about $8.00 an hour today. When fast wood workers (who were mostly Black then) complained about the low pay, they were told that you shouldn't expect a living wage working fast food. Funny how many people have now embraced $20.00 an hour, which is 2 1/2 times what fast food workers were paid in 1988, now that the demographics have changed.

[@paulthegameralt2796]

Of course, the corporate apologists blame higher prices on the minimum wage. How did In and Out pay its employees more than the $20 per hour before the increase took effect for the other franchises? Could higher prices for beef and other supplies have anything to do with higher prices? Unbiased coverage? Your corporate sponsors don't want that and even you know that.

[@jallen1227]

Add Bidenflation + Newsomflation = unobtainium

[@torturedsoul8066]

Every time you raise the minimum wage you reduce the number of jobs. The issue is the lack of low income housing for single people and childless couples. The Bush family cut that out years ago and now we have a homeless problem. Stop letting police decide who gets a job and who doesn't. Background checks should be limited to those on probation or parole. Once the time is done then they should not be prohibited from returning from the workforce by company policy. Exceptions for obvious reasons. Use common sense. Not everything that sounds like a good idea is a good idea. A billion dollar bride to nowhere? Not such a good idea after all unless you are bilking billions from the government. How did anyone not spot that in the bill or did they all get a cut of that money? An investigation is needed.

[@JosephSato-1997]

The truth is that their intention is to encourage people live a healthy lifestyle by not eating so much fast food. People now realize that cooking at home is a much healthier and cheaper choice. Next time if they have another call to raise it to $25 per hour, I’ll be gladly join the rally, until all the fast food stores are out of business.

Restaurant employers now have a legal rights to cutting back all full time employees to part time employees.

To play Devil's Advocate and to try and balance the narratives here: - 1) The CEO's and C-Suite Exec's of these companies in question are still making the same exorbitant salaries they did before the $20 min. wage initiative (1,000% - 1,000,000% ABOVE that of their lowest paid employee). - 2) The CEO's and C-Suite Exec's are still getting massively inflated yearly bonuses, raises, and retirement packages. - 3) The only people who refuse to allow inflation, cost of living changes, and poor business decisions to affect them, are the CEO's and C-Suite Exec's. However, their businesses and employees are allowed to pay that price for them. - 4) To those saying these businesses will replace workers with machines and automations -- Yeah, I can tell you right now that hiring an experienced engineer or IT technician to constantly monitor, update, and repair those things is going to be SIGNIFICANTLY more costly than holding onto a handful of $20 p/h employees. - 5) Fast Food work was NEVER meant to be a career. It's an introductory service-level job. These jobs are meant to be staffed and run by 16-30-year-olds who are gaining work experience and earning part-time cash on the side while they focus on education (High School/College) and eventually get a real adult job elsewhere earning a real adult salary. Perhaps some of these companies would be able to afford keeping on some more of their employees if their leadership teams acted like real leaders and "felt the crunch" with their employees by taking a pay cut and reduction in benefits in order to allow their employees to continue working.

In March 2024, home prices in California were up 10.1% compared to last year, selling for a median price of $816,800. Fast food workers wages have been neglected for too long. Glad they got a bit of a raise.

[@phongle-g8j]

why just fast food people got raised, it is stupid and discriminatory.

@user-gj5bi3cl4l yes, I wonder that myself. But Fast food from a sit down restaurant, ... the sit down workers get 20% tips , fast food get no tips.

Good. If you want to buy and eat trash food simply for the convenience and taste you should always pay $10 or more.

They shouldn’t be allowed to raise their prices like this.

Fast food workers should make a thousand dollars an hour. Heck, everyone should be a billionaire

Say what you want, most fast food workers work their ass off, it's not easy work, there's a lot more to it than calling them burger flippers, the ones being condescending, you try it for a day. Try not to cry now 😊😊😊😊😊😊
