There has been a lot of negative responses to that stuff so I will just add my own words to this. Working in a fast food chain restaurant is a very hard work. Sure it does not require any college degree but it is hard work nonetheless. Yet many comments reflect dislike of this news.
Why?
I can only speculate but I think the ultimate issue people are having with this is that if those workers will get more pay, the price of the hamburger will go up. It's of course a bad human nature to wanting to pay less and make more money and it always leads to a down spiral.
Think of the electronics. Americans complain about that products are not made in America anymore, but seriously, would they pay the price for it? Of course not. It's easy to complain that many of the things are made in asian countries but honestly my good American friend, look around you! What you are looking at right now, that monitor, that iPad, that smartphone, it's all made somewhere in Asia. And you have it. You bought it. You didn't buy "American". Why not? Because if it was a 100% American product then your smartphone would cost a lot more and then you would complain about that.
So yes if those hard working fast food workers get their higher wages as they want to -- and in my opinion they deserve it -- then prepare for more expensive tacos and hamburgers. It's just how it is. I know, my friend that you want to eat the cake and keep it too but that is just never going to happen.
Suck it up! :)
