Employee: "Hey boss...I'm currently making $15 an hour, but thanks to the new minimum wage laws, I can make $15 an hour at many other companies. Why should I keep working here?"
Boss: "Because we're going to give you a raise. You will now be making $20 an hour."
Employee: "Great! But what about the people who hold higher positions in our company that currently make $20 an hour?"
Boss: "We're going to give them and everyone else a raise for the same reason."
Employee: "I see. But how is the company going to afford paying more wages?"
Boss: "Easy...we simply charge our customers more for our service. Our competitors will be forced to do the same thing, so it won't put as at a disadvantage."
Employee: "Oh, I get it! We all get raises so that we can afford to pay for stuff that's now going to be more expensive since everyone is getting a raise!"
In my very brief stint as a civilian I was a GM at McDonald's for a very close friend's family. They had 15 restaurants. They profited roughly $300k a week.
They almost turned in their guns during the mandatory McCafe upgrade. It was $125k per store for just coffee equipment.
That totally automated system would cost more than a franchise, which was $144k cash at that time or roughly $1.2 million to have a new store built that the company still owned, of course.
Corporate fast food shops might go automated, but there is ZERO chance franchisees go along with it. Labor is only 20% and you hire a bunch of turds because it is minimum wage, no benefits, no vacation, etc. They will just adopt the Euro model of less workers, a livable wage, benefits, vacation, etc.
Regular people will own battleships before automated fast food joints are the norm.
Interesting. I know a family that owns 5 in Thurston County, and they profit nothing close to that.
I also know they built the JITB ground up in Tillicum and Grand Mound for under $800k.

First off you are comparing 15 to 5 and you are comparing McDonald's to Jack in the Box.
