Oh boo hoo, cry me a fucking river you fat, greasy suits. You’ve been taking advantage of workers since inception. You can absolutely afford to pay your workers $20/hr, you just won’t have as much profit. So what? You’ll still make ridiculous money. America is disgusting. I’m just disgusted with all the inequality. People are battling every day just to survive, and these corporate fucks are crying while wiping their tears with $100 bills and the shirts off the backs of their employees. Fuck off.

Their business can’t just absorb this cost. That’s not how businesses work. What they can do is raise prices a few cents each and pay the cost.
Franchisees are empowered to set their own pricing, so this is a non-issue.

I can almost guarantee a lot of locations wouldn’t even need to do that. The owner would just have to not take a bonus. God forbid that though.
