  • As some Los Angeles-area fast food restaurants have already increased prices amid the minimum wage hike, residents who live in so-called food deserts are left with fewer affordable food options. NBC Los Angeles' Amber Frias reports on April 1, 2024.

      The reality is that you're not going to get fast food anymore. It's not the end of the world. You just don't get fast food.
      If they can't afford labor then they won't hire it.
      It's likely that they'll start resorting to robots and an automat style of service. You could hire one person to operate it all and they would never have to deal with customers face to face.
      Perhaps if we have less of these fast foods and chain stores then we'll have real mom and pop business again like we used to in the old days. Middle class business owners are what built this country, not McDonalds fast food workers. These corporations have destroyed local communities and I root for their downfall.

      It probably will lead to some lost jobs. But workers not being able to afford to live eventually causes them to have to find other work anyway so these restaurants would be understaffed pretty badly, leading to worse customer service. Restaurant jobs don't really make sense anymore for anyone involved except maybe the owners.
