The unfortunate reality is that in recent years wage increases result in higher prices, less hours for hourly employees, and fewer employees working.

Walk in to a McDonald’s now that they’re paying over $15 an hour. There are half the employees in the restaurant than there used to be. They got replaced with touchscreen kiosks.

Walmart, same thing, 2 lanes open and the rest is self checkout.

Just pay people more isn’t the whole answer.
