McDonald's franchisee group says new $20 minimum wage California fast-food bill will cause 'devastating financial blow'
The California fast-food bill will raise the minimum wage for many California workers at fast-food chains to $20 an hour starting April 1.

Awww. I'm so sad for these billionaires.
Would you pay $20 for a Big Mac? ...though they'll probably automate the cooking and cashier positions, so they don't have to pay an employee what I make as a robotics technician.
Have we seen any of that happen in the places the company already operates that enforce a decent wage?

Are you ignorant or what? There's proof worldwide that paying your workers decent wages doesn't cost more. Also, imagine what would happen if workers actually had money to spend... Guess where they'd spend.
was the whole point of this comment to flex your job in robotics
I don't think he's a very good robotics technician if he's only making $20 an hour.
He could be flipping burgers and making that.

I think if they could have done that (automate the cooking and cashier) to save paying $3 wages they would have.
How much of the overall cost do you think is labor? Because your dollar figure implies you've overestimated by plenty.
Assuming USD.
No, I wouldn't. That's why they won't price it at $20. They're gonna have to figure something else out or just have a complete negative loss in the state. You can try to price gouge people but they'll likely just go somewhere else. This is some bs thinking through and through
So it turns out that you are underpaid just like these McDonald's employees. Unless by robotics technician you mean something like a roomba repairman. Maybe support your fellow laborers when they are fighting for fair wages. It shouldn't be a competition.
Good.
