How much do you pay your employees?

From 65K to 300K. i'm talking about common sense, not "studies." a person needs to make a living wage when they work for you full time. if you can't pay them, then you're a loser at operating your business, you should downsize or go work for someone else. so the question is, how much is that wage? it ain't much less than $15, if at all.

Bull shit. Nobody that pays their employees that much money would post such nonsense

So nobody wants to answer my question about a living wage, especially in a place like California?

Get an education, learn a trade.
The cost of living in California is obscene.
Depending on where one lives in our great state, $45,000.00 a year still lands you at or under poverty level.
Working at the fast food counter asking if you want French Fries with your order, being unable to even count change back properly hardly commands $10.00 an hour much less $15.00.
The fact that mickey D's is placing kiosks, replacing 2500 workers, should tell you sumthin'.

I will have a go, if you can't afford to live here go back where you came from or go to a state where you can. This is a country built on capitalism, not handouts.

So if McDonald's saves money by using kiosks, those displaced workers will go someplace else, as you suggest. That's fine. But as long as McDonald's employs people full-time, they should pay them a livable minimum wage...surely you don't begrudge them making that from a huge, wealthy multi-billion dollar company like McDonald's. It's not a handout...it's minimal wages. I was in a union as a grocery store bag boy at 15, I was above minimum wage as a result...was it livable as an adult? No.

A livable minimum wage?
$10.00 an hour goes a lot further in Oklahoma than it does in California.
Counter work at a fast food establishment is a mindless, no experience necessary job.
The cost of your Happy Meal will sky rocket...
Entry level jobs that a kiosk can perform says it all. You better come up with a better plan for your future.
Entry level jobs are there to train people how to work, show up on time, take the initiative, interact with others, etc.
If workers don't like the wages they are making at Mickey D's, they too can, will and should go elsewhere.

Yes it is a livable wage. If it's not a livable wage, your Union isn't doing the job you pay them to do, which is to extract wages.

That is why unions are a major part of the problem. Minimum wage jobs are not meant to support a family, they are a starting point in separating the makers from the takers.

It is just a liberal way to extract more taxes from the public, income tax and sales tax of higher priced burgers.
