Happy "$15 Minimum Wage" Labor Day From McDonalds
Coming to, or rather from, every forced "minimum wage" provider near you. And don't forget to thank your micromanaging, centrally-planning government.

Can't wait to get these in a stip club.
this is what plays on the screen: http://www.philiacband.com/propaganda.html
Who gives a shit?
Burgers won't be any cheaper.
Are minimum wage workers really dragging down this nation?
What's with the hard on for this issue? It's embarrassing.
JPM Ends Open Outcry at LME -

lol the possibly next Canadian government wants to do this for the entire minumum wage
though I guess that's like only 11-12USD or something... haha $20CAD to work fast food lol I know MBAs from lacking second-tier CAD unis in entry-level positions that makes less than that
Japan has had these for 15 years. One person can run a Yoshinoya resturant overnight. He'll never have to handle money, because it's all in the machine.
And Japan is a sterling fucking example of where we want our economy to go...II could give a shit about McDs and am glad a higher minimum wage is going to destroy their shit biz model. Mom and pop hamburger stands and places like In N Out will take their business while providing a better product. Fuck McDonald's and the rentier class cocksuckers who profit from their slagging of poison disguised (poorly) as food.
Stop sugarcoating it Nihilist and tell us how you REALLY feel.
Can I have one of these on my ballot instead of the two fuck sticks I get to pick from?
That would be AWESOME!

Lazy Americans are just not willing to work as hard as robots. That's why robots are going to get all the jobs. It takes work to make money, not capital!
Americans are no different from any other people. Why you would think that Canadians, australians, etc would be better is beyond me. This world isn't created to make rich men pay less to the natives. this world is for the natives to live in, and the rich are a consequence of our work. When the leadership from local to high govt levels do NOT warn the people of impending dome, what do you expect the people to do? There is nothing coming out of MSM, and the 6 corporations who own all the TV/news outlets/radio stations purchased them for this reason. THIS IS A SILENT FUCKING COUP GODDAMN IT.
The rich assholes who stole the world under the disguise of a failed economic policy...now, they deserve some recognition fuck face.
The rationale for this change is just an excuse. It is all abount increasing profits (and CEO bonuses). Even a $5 / hour 'wage' would not have stopped the greedy from extracting more rent (CEO bonus etc) from the process.
These pay screens should have been implemented back in the 1990s when minimum wage went to $5.15 an hour.
I know Zero Hedge gets all upset over minimum wage. I actually support minimum wage because it forces corporations to be more innovative with limited funds and it gets us one step closer to full unemployment which is what I advocate.
I'd rather a robot replace a human to do a task, than a human become a robot to fill a job. These mundane jobs are so last century and they need to go pronto. There's nothing worse than being stuck in a dead end unfulfilling job, which is something I know all too well.
I welcome full unemployment, and I welcome welfare as a transitional step to a resource based economy.
We should only have entrepreneurs and independent contractors. No mega corporations and no employees. Everyone else who has no skill set to offer society should be on welfare and housed. Wage slavery needs to be abolished as it is an industrial age relic. If one is satisfied sitting at home playing games all day, that can be accommodated. For those of us that want to do better, we can create startups that are serviced by independent contractors to fill any void in society that isn't covered.
Critics dismiss this as "utopia". The irony is that this message is posted on a blog on the world wide web which would have been science fiction fantasy when I was a child. Is today a utopia? Well compared to the agrarian age it is, but obviously we have problems today. New problems will arise in the system I advocate, but that's just the journey of life, and the startups of their day will rise to the challenge to tackle those problems.
The minimum wage argument that is whined about constantly on this website is rearranging the chairs on a sinking Titanic. The agrarian age is over! The industrial age is over! We need a completely new economic system that deals with today's reality of social media and instant information at the click of a button.
Jobs numbers and labor arguments and unions and blah, blah, blah is just bailing wire and chewing gum used to hold up a rotten to the core failed system. Yellen and The Fed knows their days are numbered. Japan has been a Zombie economy for the last quarter century because the post War growth has hit its logistic ceiling. We can't have forever growth on a finite planet with finite resources. We have to take off the nostalgia goggles at look at the current reality of the 21st Century. Even China and their ghost cities is taking a big dump lately.
Buckminster Fuller really did see the future, and we can do much more with much less.
yep lazy HS dropouts deserve a 100% raise, and happy meals should be $20
I worked for a time developing software for an insurance company that did pilot insurance. I was asked during the interview if I minded whether my work would cause people to lose their jobs. They had a team of people whose job it was to do a manual process to overcome the shortcomings of the current software. I quickly replaced them and 5 people lost their jobs. Then it was determined that they wanted some way to get past their current current backlog of 2000+ requests for insurance that were currently bottle-necked on their team of 30+ adjusters. I was amazed that they even had to go to the adjusters. Using analysis I determined the actual rate being offered vs all factors that were known and recorded about them. Unfortunately, the president of the company was a former adjuster himself and wasn't comfortable with that. So, they now take one month to get back to you while their competitors offer a quote immediately from their website. I left when they couldn't provide a matching counter-offer to another job offer because "you'd be making as much as the president of the company." I currently make even $20,000 more than that. I was kidding about the robots, though. Who is going to work as hard as a robot? But they're coming. Fully automated burger stands, automated lawn care, self-driving semis, etc. Marxism was brought about by fear of farm machinery. I wonder what this new phase will bring.
Interesting Post.
Question and preface.: there used to be a poster named slewie who I did not know well..
Statement: Automation is a tidal wave, a similie to the financial tsunami.
I am half remembering a Sci Fi procog story that had us untrapped in our cube like apartments, perfectly satisfied not to travel out of them, physical and intellectual needs satisfied.
One of these denizens had to travel for some reason and was terrorized of it, Travel was easy as the whole cube moved to the new location, yet it produced high anxiety.
Back to our time and reality, if this current over arching way of thinking does not shit the bed back into the stone age, we must figure out what to do with ourselves and skills.
I really don't want automated decision making on my behalf, even it is quicker, better, and more efficient. I will live with human imperfection, because it means a constant struggle, a human right missed by many and a species imperative.
I will do some research in my antiquated, ephemeral paper library to find and reference the story. ald
Thanks for ticking that brain cell.
In the mean time:
http://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/jan/22/1000-novels-science-fiction...
I would have to say I am in agreement that our financial system is a relic, that was originally place with bad intentions to begin with. I think the juvenile, eye for an eye, hierarchical and judgmental ways of thinking that we need to abolish. Once societies are allowed to do and think freely, without being boxed in by outside expectations for a period of time, progress will happen and peace will be made. Most people the world over don't think about killing, screwing over, etc their neighbor more than 50% of the time with all of these imposed "rules" present. Therefore, the mean attitude lies in peace and the willingness to work together. Just imagine how much better things would be if we say, all acted like one big family and did what we could to help each other out. Communities would still do things like install stop lights, fix roads, support their elderly, etc. It would all be on a voluntary basis, which would produce a higher overall success rate than we currently have, because people will not be feeling the pressures of having to pay a mortgage, taxes, rent, for food, gas, technology, what have you. Crime rates would plummet. For example, without a monetary system, robots would probably already be working all of the mundane jobs that no one likes to do, we would have electric flying cars, vacations on the moon or mars and there would be no such thing as the human misery index. It is just ridiculous to think how stupid we all really are, even the filthy rich, really what they are achieving are only short term personal gains and completely missing the big picture. It truly amazes me how stupid people allow themselves to be and how they are so easily swayed from true happiness, sovereignty and freedom to buy into some psychopath's twisted reality. So, sad :(
nice.
Break it up a bit to make it more readable.
learn paragraphs, although seemingly not relevant any more.
Whoops, submitted twice!
And 9thDoctor...Holy Crap. Here is today's lesson in REAL.
"Greed is good". Yup, Gordon Gecko was right. It is "greed" that makes us want better than average. Better than average for ourselves, our kids, our well being. If you believe in a system based on "average" where everyone gets the same, then Cuba or Venezeuala are the places for you. In systems based on "average" or a mean living standard as defined by the state, there is no innovation, no motivation, and economies collapse. The importance of "motivated" greed driven entrepreneurs in economies cannot be over estimated. Entrepreneurs are like "wildcatters". Most are simply their to make a better than average living and leave the pay check harvesting lifestyle behind. A few, however, develop something truly remarkable through their drive to succeed and can change large economic segments, causing millions of people to be employed by their innovation. Think Gates, Jobs, etc. Grab a copy of "Wealth of Nations". Its a hard read but a real eye opener. As an alternative, hit the website Mises.org as often as you can.
Fate the Magnificent
"Push the Button, Max"
I think I would prefer the characterization "enlightened self interest". The word "greed" for me carries the baggage of someone who cares not a whit for his fellows. Anyone who is at least a bit "enlightened" knows that such a system cannot function. "All for me and none for thee", or "It is not enough that I succeed, everyone else must fail" are not unsustainable systems. A rising tide truly DOES lift all boats, when everyone has taken the step to build a boat for themselves.
The sociopaths are the ones who "ruin it for everyone".
Hmmm...The good news here is that robots speak English and don't have to call the manager to look over their little metal shoulders when they make change. And I've never seen a robot with gold teeth or "grills".

I'd take Japan over USA any time. Very high standard of living, generally polite and educated people. Somewhat dense, but quality of much better. How shall I put it, there's not much people that are just outright trash. It seems to be very USA-centric problem.
You have not traveled much if you think the U.S has the world cornered on trashy people.
Translation: Japan doesn't have a violent kneegrow problem
I'd take Japan over USA any time.
The Japanese I have spoken with see it differently.
While I agree about Japan, In N Out burgers suck.....and so do you.
Dried up tiny burger and cold fries, long wait in line, screw In N Out.
Lots of poor people take their family to McDonald's, it was affordable and the kids had fun. The last thing they need is progressive government tyranny raising the cost to do so. So what about the food.
To hell with progressive tyranny, poorly disguised as government.
Grimaldus
Obvious trolling... Nobody who's ever eaten In N Out would EVER say that about their food. Fucking Gordon Ramsey ate them twice in one day he loved them so much. Julia Child was a fan. And they pay their employees great. So yeah you're an asshole.
"Those are good burgers, Walter."
Canadian fast food workers don't understand the concept of fast food.
Take one order... Serve one order.
No, Canada is talking about raising the min wage to Cdn$15.oo / hr too. Americans forget, everyone else in the world is poorer than you are. Only when Americans are made as poor as Canadians were in 2008 does anyone question any fuckin' thing around here! You do not simply apply FX to the problem.
Makes one wonder which exchanges use an open-source software code to follow and post price and volume, doesn't it?
Yo, Icon:
Please stop embarrassing yourself in public. Take one Milton Friedman "Free to Choose" chapter on wages and two Thomas Sowell "Unintended Consequences" and "Second Order Thinking" chapters and check back in later.

new meat ---excellent excellent post !
If you knew Milton Friedman a little bit better and the knew about shit he was involved with, you'd get up off that knee.
Poison the well much? Respond to the idea, not the man.
If not, then leave the room. The adults are having a discussion.
Along with, "But christians sin so God must be bad.".
Read the books.
Inflation adjusted, the minimum wage is lower than in the 1960s, yet there were fast food chains in the 1960s. There were many. There was competition and wages were higher and profits were lower and burgers were cheaper and of a higher quality.
Now there is no competition. What would Friedman and Sowell say about that?
Most MCD's employees aren't worth the current min. There's always one or two doing the work for the rest. Machines would be an improvement over most I've seen. Haven't been there in a few years. Still won't go.
Most MCD's employees aren't worth the current min.
With the new machines, the only difference will be that with cashiers, you had to guiess which one had the highest IQ thinking that that line would move faster. Now you have to guess which line has the highest IQ. It's gonna be tough.
Logged in just to say LOL, this made my morning :D
It isn't the cashier that slows down the line, it is the total weight of the customer's party. I'm not saying that fat people order more food, although they do, I'm saying that fat slobs want their orders all specialed up because Social Justice.
You telling me this champion of customer service doesn't deserve 15$/hr?

Welcome to Carl's Jr. Would you like to try our BIG ASS FRIES?
what's pulling down this nation is people with no more useful skills than flipping a burger and working a register...
...running the government and the financial sector
Plenty of laid off engineers last time I checked.
There's no affirmative action for white middle aged men.
Government only wants minorities.
I check 'black; on all boxes asking about race. Why? Because even asking is racist. Why does it even matter if everybody is anti-racist?
If Bruce is a chick, then I'm a nigger.
Blee dat.
All forms asking about race get checked black and I don't give a fuck.
I tell young white kids the same thing who are applying for scholarship money. They won't get a dime no matter how poor they are if they are white. Check the 'black' box and if anyone ask tell them your grandmother was black. If they question it then warn them you'll yell out to Al Sharpton and the local news media. Pull the OJ race card on them. The college will get so scared they'll hand the money to you. These institutions are scared poopless of the race issues.
Down arrows?
It's fucking embarrassing.
Embarrassing to think it's a legitimate concern that so many people support a solution that so obviously won't work? Check what's happening with every single corporation that's arbitrarily raised their employees wages recently. So many people think it's the holy grail to solving financial inequality and it's not even a drop in the bucket - it's worse.
Edit: Plus, no one is saying that minimum wages workers are dragging the country down. It's that this will simply put more people out of work and on government handouts. Nor is anyone claiming that it will have anything to do with making burgers cheaper or more expensive.... I don't think you grasp what's going on here.
Inflation adjusted the minimum wage in the 70s was OVER $15 an hour and the rentiers and grifters didn't own our government. Burgers were a lot fucking better to. That this clickbait bullshit is seen a useful to the Tylers IS fucking embarrassing.
I respect your point, but financial quality of life has been getting worse and worse ever since then. Are you really under the impression that money will be transfered from the top of corporations down through to the workers, supposedly stimulating the middle class? That money comes out of making everything you purchase more expensive, and from squeezing suppliers so that they make even less money per unit of effort as well. You can't force people to pay their workers more and expect an overall better quality of life for the society as a whole. It's simply not the answer, and calling it articles like this "embarrassing" isn't solving anything either.
Higher minimum wage breaks McDs and others shit biz models that are based on EXHORBANT commercial RE costs that maintain the lifestyle of the rentier class. Remember McDonald's business is not food, it's RE as they own or have the master lease on all the franchise properties. The input costs from labor a relatively minuscule. A raise to a living wage would force MCDs to lower franchise fees and their profits from the RE they control. Fuck those corporate cocksuckers. Impose a $15 minimum wage and subsidize it through direct credits to all qualifying small businesses. Let McDonald's and all the other tools of the rentier class die on the vine. Smaller more nimble business will replace them and the the great grift that is the ruling class control of most important RE might subside.
Well. If it breaks their business model they will go out of business. There go the jobs. I guess no job is an improvement ove a job that pays too little. Eh?
And the answer is government subsidies? We already have them. And you don't have to work to get them.
We have way more government than we can afford.
More government is not a blow against the ruling class. It empowers them.
You are completely missing his point. He is saying do this to break the corporations and empower small business.
PS- I don't think it will work now with technology and all but go back 20 years...
NihilistZero is spot on.
+1
Yes. What NihilistZero said.
If it breaks their business model they will go out of business. There go the jobs. I guess no job is an improvement ove a job that pays too little. Eh?
It is an improvement fuckhead. If you're a low wage couple what is better, you both slaving away or one of you with a job while the other can better himself to your long term benefit. beyond that for every McDonald's that closes people are STILL going to need their burgers so the non-shit restaurants will go on a hiring spree.
Jesus Fucking Christ you guys are so programmed by the Matrix to hate labor, you're completely oblivious to how the war on working people has DESTROYED this country!
word
You know, for a statist control freak statements like you "Impose a $15 minimum wage" you have a strange moniker. Nihilsts and anarchists are definately not statists.
And here's a question? Why not impose a $100 minimum wage? Or for that matter a $1 one. Either is equally stupid and useless, much like your "comment"
Only supply and demand can set any price and if you don't understand this big words liike nihiilst are over your head. Change it to ">zero"
"And here's a question? Why not impose a $100 minimum wage? Or for that matter a $1 one. Either is equally stupid and useless, much like your "comment""
Neither a $100 wage or a $1 wage yields results superior to a $15 wage. So why bother even mentioning those ridiculous wages?
Because he's part of the Limbaugh dittohead brigade that has invaded ZH. It's a talking point as old and tired as Rush himself...
Again, you're making the assumption that wage gains will come from anywhere other than the bottom line and the supply chain, and I think recent events show that's unsubstantiated. You really want to use this tactic to break the corporate business model? How do you expect small businesses to exist in the same environment? It's more likely to just kill the economy altogether than achieve anything you're aiming for.
Bullshit. Milton Friedman himself advocated for a negative income tqax as a for of social spending. All I'm saying is that the mega corps who have brougjht us this ruin WOULD NOT qualify.
I guess like so many here you fail to realize that government wil ALWAYS pick winners and losers and suggest that they don't use that power to help labor when they have already used it to enrich the oligarchy. to do so is beyond stupid.
I don't want the government to pick winners and losers at all, I want them to stay the fuck out and provide the bare essentials. Why do you think the government is capable of coming up with a strategy that really helps labor? What examples can you point to that didn't have awful unintended consequences? All you're doing is ignoring the points that I'm making, calling me wrong, calling everyone else retarded, and using bold print.
I don't want the government to pick winners and losers at all...
Government got your message. Their response was "We don't give a fuck what you want". Nothing happens in a fucking vacuum. Government is NOT going to stop bestowing lagresse upon Wall ST and the large corporate structures anytime soon. You ought to be hoping to all hell that someone like Sanders or Trump does SOMETHING for working people in this country before the thin veil that hides American fascism is completely torn away.
For someone that says they don't trust the government, you sure do trust the government to help you if they do something like mandate wages......
Giving the gov more power doesn't make the situation you're going on about any better.
you sure do trust the government to help you if they do something like mandate wages......
I don't trust anybody or anything, much less government. But facts are facts, when .gov mandated a minimum wage that inflation adjusted was actually OVER $15 an hour and had sane trade policies EVERYONE (with the exception of the oligarchs and their sycophants) was doing better. The standard of living enjoyed even in the inflationary 70's by working class people was higher than today and that is a fact.
It is. Anyone who has worked in one of these shitholes can tell you they could drop wages to 4 cents an hour and it wouldn't result in one more job.
They're constantly trying to cut hours and send people home from their shift early when they're being paid a pittance now.
It has always been a race to the bottom and these kiosks were coming regardless.
This would have happened minimum wage or no.
W/O the wage slaves, and the burger cost remaining the same, that means higher profits and a higher divend per share. Time to buy some stock.
It's "embarrassing" that people such as you don't have a basic grasp of economics and history.
The issue is a joke and a smoke screen for the real problem, ie corporatism and no free markets.
The pseudo-intellectual "go to" anymore is to call something a misdirection.
It's very simple, yet you don't get it.
Your idea of a"Free market" is to limit the growth of technology and force companies to employ troglodytes? To dictate what they should pay?
That's awesome thinking. You'll love the 14th century.
This is simply the easiest to understand example of the government getting in the way of voluntary transactions, and the repercussions of these intrussions.
If Ron wants to pay Joe $1 per hour for a job, and Joe considers himself lucky to get a job at $1 an hour, why should anyone step in and say: "no, you two are not free to negotiate this simple labor-for-money transaction. We will tell you what Ron must pay Joe."??
Few other forms of government meddling are as transparent as this.
NEVER pay for ANYTHING in advance at a strip club.

The porthole opens up and you take your food.

Cool then I will actually eat there cause I got tired of nasty shitty food served by dumbass stupid people who dont care about anything but themselves if even that. I actually dont care much for going into public places people just seem to all be off. I love hanging around my family and I work with the older people that have sense maybe old but they can carry on a conversation. So I aplaud the auto untill these young people get thier heads outta thier asses

I don't eat McDonalds, but as a general rule, I'd rather talk to a computer screen than a bitch with weave and fake nails named Shaquanda. Would probably get the food faster and the order right too.
Good thing you didn't mention Shaquanda's race. You could be labeled a rayccist!
Bullshit, Tanner and Hanna will fuck your order up just as well as Shaquanda. The best way to fix this is to never eat at McDonalds.
True story/ The last two times I've eaten at McD's .. the 'white' McD's fucked up my order. the 'black' McD's got it right.
Moral: Don't trust a fast food restaurant to get your order right. No matter who's working there.
Funny thing about paying a decent wage, you get people who give a fuck about their job and don't look anything like "Shaquanda"...
Witness all the clean cut and incredibly thankful kids who work at In N Out.

dick's pays a wage above and beyond any of the national 'chains'. dick's also was early in offering medical, and tuition matching. and, these are some of the best burgers/fried/shakes in seattle. the only places that compete are the other small, local outfits. the big 'chains' like mcdonald's and burger king have never been competitive from a quality standpoint.
Irony will have come full circle once the $15/hr protestors not only get fired, but then get replaced by robot protestors once they take to the streets again.
