It shouldn't have cost consumers anything.
The mark up on fast food is ridiculous and the only reason that the companies, and more specifically the franchises, haven't just absorbed the increase in labour cost is pure greed.
But... most people, even you won't cut your own income/salary/increments to increase the salary of low-income workers. If not, they would have done so voluntarily.
Did you ever reject your pay raise and ask the boss to give a raise to the low income staff below you instead.
Business income is not magic, and earnings are divided based on salary structure. The income is divided between all staff, i.e., you get your high salary at the expense of low incomes.
The other way to get more money to raise min salary is to raise prices of product/services. But... why let poor customers suffer?
Where do you think the salary money will come from. Why signal so much concern, but when it hits your high salary, it is no go. Many are unwilling to take a tiny salary cut to help low income.
Some think money will 1000% go to C-suite/investor salary/income if everyone take a miniscule pay cut, even after a company guarantee a pay raise for low income in contract. Hardly anyone want their filthy obscene high salaries to be touched so they will come up with all sort of reasons, NIMBY, they want the money for low-income salary to appear by magic.
Is an apple an automobile? If i stand on my head does the moon disappear? You confused yet? Just asking questions.
no. yes. no. no yes, yes and no. The trick is to ask the right questions, you will get there eventually, don't be scared.
