Maybe the McFlurry machine will function properly, now.
Once every six months or so, Iâll get it in a pinch if working late.
Iâll pass
In semi-related news, the table bussers at my local Perkins have been replaced with robots that bring the food from the kitchen to the correct table while maneuvering around customers.
I havenât had a Big Mac since they cost about 65 cents. And thatâs my answer to the OP question. 
Last thing I ever bought at McDonaldâs was frozen yogurt for my children in about 1990 although my daughterâs boyfriend bought me a coffee at a drive through a year or so ago.
I saw a stat in a McDonaldâs ad today on TV that claimed 1 of every 7 Americans has at one time worked at a McDonaldâs restaurant. Might be true, I donât really know, but if the wage for fast food worker goes up to $20/hr, that percentage will undoubtedly go down as positions formerly filled by teens as you were are replaced with robot kiosks.
Summer jobs (supplemented by part time fall, winter, and spring jobs) paid my way through college. Not so much anymore.
My first thought.
These are jobs you could get in the summer and after school. These are the jobs where kids learn a work ethic and where families would maybe pick up a second part time job to make ends meetâŠ
Whoâs going to hire those folks that are getting their first taste of work for $20 an hour.
Hereâs a better ideaâŠhowâs about the idiot bureaucrats who have no idea how to profitably run anything, especially in California which is hemorrhaging residentsâŠ
Stay the hell out if it.

Stupid bureaucrats mandating higher and higher costs of doing business arenât helping anyone.
Next Federal minimum wage increase should include a preemption provision, rendering all State and local minimum wages null and void.
Write a cost of living adjustment to the minimum wage so that the wage would be higher in New York City, San Francisco and lower in places like Mississippi and Alabama. The current localities map for Federal employees wage adjustments could be used for this purpose.
But absolutely beyond time for the Federal Government to preempt on the minimum wage.
ABADOLUTELY NOT! The last thing we need is the Federal Government trying to preempt State laws!
In fact, that would be clearly unconstitutional. The Federal Government has no authority to do anything like that.

The Federal Government has been preempting the States since forever. Courts have upheld it every time.

Yes they have ⊠to which I say NO MORE!
The Federal Government has no authority to tell the States that they cannot set their minimum wage higher than the Federal Minimum Wage. NONE!
republicans are blocking minimum wage federal law, thereby placing it on the states. its been 7.25 for eons.
Allan
actually they can, the nasty old supremacy clause
Allan.
No they do not have the authority. âThe powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.â
The Supremacy Clause does not say what you think it says.
which is why somehow the north states has to tolerate the fugitive slave law.

The Supremely Clause does not say anything that would allow the Feds to prohibit States from setting minimum wage higher than the Federal Minimum. Thatâs just stupid and you know it,
