Reply #21: They don't go up the chain at all. [View All]

Thought I addressed that. People in the fast food or other industries that pay Minimum wage are a dime a dozen, they are not in a position to bargain - management included. CEO's won't starve in any case either - not that I was terribly concerned for them ...

But rest assured, no one is going to demand or be in a position to demand a raise because minimum wage went up. I've worked in enough companies where they raised the *entry level* salary for a certain position, and the people who worked in that position for a longer period of time were told "too bad so sad" if they made at least the same amount. That's how it works in this culture of corporate compassion. Anyone making the same or more will be kept at their current salary. Managers will be told they can return to flipping beef if they wish, but they'll lose hours, experience and of course *prestige* if they are demoted. :eyes:

Also, if I pay an extra .10 cents for my meal at Burger King, then I'll consider it money well spent.
