    17 bucks to flip burgers is pretty good. Especially if you're a teenager

    It's enough to be able to still afford a dumpy to mediocre 1 bedroom apartment in a lot of parts of this city. And that's just the starting hourly wage.

    Everyone knows fast food restaurants can’t afford wages that high, they’ll be out of business in a week.

    You severely underestimate the number of people who want to put Dicks in their mouth.

    They make it up in volume.

    Everyone knows that a fast food restaurant won’t ever pay a wage that high unless they are forced to by the government.

    A little disingenuous because for at least the past 40 years, Dick's has pretty much looked at minimum wage and bumped its starting wage accordingly. Dick Spady hated unions, but was willing to offer higher wages and good benefits in order to retain employees and keep unions away from his business. There are employees at my local Dick's that have been there at least a decade and they're making $24+ per hour. There have been a few changes to the business since Dick Spady died, but it continues to be a pretty good place to work.

    When I got to UW in the 90's a cheeseburger was .$85 and in today's money that should be $1.41. But the 2019 cheeseburger price is $2.00 so well above inflation. But fine...I don't care about the slightly higher cost if I don't hear bitching and moaning about "livable wage"; I am willing to make this compromise.

    Moral of the story is that cost of living and employment rates have nothing to do with bums in our city.
    When I’m drunk I’ll pay $200 for a Deluxe
    Too sloppy. I don't like the speshial sauce. But the Dick's cheese burger is the greatest 2AM foodstuff in the history of civilization.

    Not quite sure how this challenges a fucking word I said in fact it supports it.

    He paid his employees greater than the MW without being forced by the government to do so.

    They used to be great arithmeticians, no cash register adding. It was manual and cash only.

    Seriously? The whole point of your post was that government didn’t establish what he paid. But it did.

    You're not from here.

    This Seattle institution has successfully bucked the prevailing economic thought on the subject.

    I still have a reasonable expectation that the prevailing economic thought is correct most of the time, so don't twist.

    But Dicks is certainly an anomaly on this topic.
