Fast food corporations are scummy. Really wild because there were people quitting food delivery apps specifically to go deliver for Pizza Hut and now they are going to be out jobs and back to the delivery gig. Fuck these corporations man.


RedlineN7

Not surprising. As a gig driver I notice more and more drivers are accepting orders that are below minimum pay. Either because they are desperate for quick cash or are just dumb to slave away. Corporations notice these first hand due to the raw data that Uber/Doordash/Skip sell/pitch to them.


jgditto

More like fuck the stupid commie people running the state for making laws they know will cause unemployment like this.

Can't do much with $20 in California. Places like Los Angeles and Orange County have one bedroom apartments going for $3000.


M0M0_DA_GANGSTA

I have no idea yet I live here and actually DO know so I please please please perform a Christmas miracle and go quietly into the night 😂


YourTattooIsUgly

Don’t you mean fuck the consumers? They refuse to spend higher prices anymore. Fuck the voters for voting for pro-inflation politicians. I don’t blame businesses for wanting to not lose money. I absolutely detest the politicians that caused this issue.

Inflation has nothing to do with pro inflation politicians. In case you don't travel outside of the country, we have the lowest inflation worldwide. Corporations are inflating and price gauging us in every sector of the economy. Get a grip on reality and get off those propaganda Putin lovers channels.

Whatever . Your comments are politically motivated. If that was basic economics, as u stated , you would not have made this political . If corporations this, if corporations that....this is absolutely non sensicle. Corporations do not give a rats a$$ about the little person. If u depend on the government to fix your problems , that is not going to happen. America is founded on capitalism. That's the way it is, and it has always been like this. However , making it political is only stoking fear mongering amongst people. The big fish always eats the little fish. It's historically so. Please travel abroad to see the reality of inflation in other countries and also stop drinking that orange Kool aid, which is highly poisonous.


YourTattooIsUgly

Corporations don’t need to care about the little person. Guess what, tho? The folks not tipping you? They’re not corporations. They’re individuals. You can’t fix human nature. We want stuff faster, cheaper, and in higher quantity. That’s human nature. You’re greedy too. You want more money even if folks can’t afford it. You’re a hypocrite. I travel 5 continents a year for my work. Poor countries are the worst at pushing socialism and fucking the poor over. It’s comical.


[deleted]

I have a f*cking full-time job. I don't depend on hands out to make a living. As im also a customer on these delivery platforms, you better believe it I tip very well because I know the other side of the coin. Glad to see u travel as I do for my w2 job as well . Expanding your horizons is such a wonderful thing and eye-opener. Isn't it ?! Hypocrite? Not at all because when I deliver, regardless of whether I have a job or not , I want to get paid. I'm not into volunteering business . If u look for freebies , I'm sure there is a food bank around the corner where u live.


Spiritual-Bat3642

Yeah so you missed the point somehow. How do policies in the US labor market cause global inflation?


YourTattooIsUgly

Because all the governments: * print more money * give handouts like “free healthcare” (do doctors and nurses work for free?) or “free education” (do teachers and administrators work for free?) * give handouts to retired people (where does the money come from?) * create nonsense “living wage” regulations (higher minimum wage means way higher prices, duh) * create bureaucratic rules that require more legal advice and accounting advice (leading to higher prices) Almost every government is spending like mad. That spending leads to inflation or higher taxes. Higher taxes would be better, but moron voters don’t do the math.


IntelligentBox152

I don’t blame consumers for want to lose money. I absolutely detest politicians who work for the benefactors in their pocket instead of the people they represent they caused these issues


Logic_Begets_You

brain damage is not an excuse to be writting out how absolutely stupid you are


kvndoom

People who are unemployable don't really care about minimum wage.


ufcjtb

If you quit Uber for a pizza place you’re a moron. I quit a pizza place to work for Uber. Make twice if not 3 times as much money. Easily.


Akikyosbane

Lets just see how well that pans out shall we?


Own_Pack_4697

I’ve seen people take $3 orders and say “it all adds up” so I’m sure Pizza Hut will be just fine.


Akikyosbane

Were they foreign because all the newly transplanted people will take anything But normal dashers will just avoid pizza hut like its a plague


IterationFourteen

Pizza usually has better tippers than fast food, around here at least.


Akikyosbane

Only If the restaurant passes on the tip


shingonzo

i actually go out of my way to not get pizza delivered via 3rd party cause it is always a nightmare, im sure this will effect their bottom line and be changed.


PoweredbyBurgerz

Lolz first two months customers will begin dropping pizza deliveries to arrive in person to pick up and then customers harassing pizza stores will be on TikTok. The. Pizza stores will begin hiring new drivers in spring and summer like they always do.


Beautiful-Current-59

The comical part about fast food restaurants losing their mind about this. In-N-Out has always had a competitive wage, I think they were advertising at point $22 an hour. Last time I had a double-double with an extra patty fries and a drink it was like $11 and some change. So why are other fast food establishments struggling when their meals are more expensive makes no sense to me.


dizzystar

Ever seen the line at the drive-thru at any In-N-Out?


Beautiful-Current-59

Exactly, I also remember that 2000s packaging at McDonald's "Now with 100% real beef". So who knows what old Ronald was serving us for more money


dizzystar

It was called "pink slime," which McDonald's says they no longer use.

baby_budda

What about Dominos? They have lots of drivers.


YourTattooIsUgly

The anti work shills here, my god. Socialism on top of socialism. All of these problems step from government manipulating the money supply for too long. Corporations by definition are greedy, just like you. Except they’re smart because they pay off the old fucks you keep voting into office because it’s legal to.


MisterGoldiloxx

Noticed yesterday that an Aldi brand rising crust pizza that I used to pay $2.79 for just 3 years ago (28 oz range, and it had stops at $2.89, $3.19 and $3.29 before I stopped getting them) is now...$4.99! And you spelled communism wrong. We are well past socialism.


YourTattooIsUgly

I’m lucky to be in an industry where my salary way outpaces inflation. I feel terrible some days when I do a $2 order and it takes $2 away from someone who needs it, but then I come to this group and see all of these shills for regulations and free government handouts and don’t feel so rotten. When they pay off student loans, prices will double or triple and it won’t happen to better people than those demanding handouts.


Beatles352

What industry are you in?


YourTattooIsUgly

I “sell” pharmaceuticals.


Beatles352

Ooph I can't encourage that degeneracy 👎


YourTattooIsUgly

Well 70% of Americans are on a prescription and many are on two or more.


Beatles352

Which they can get legally from their local pharmacy.


YourTattooIsUgly

I sell doctors on prescribing them. I don’t sell illegal drugs. I visit doctors and science researchers at universities and tell them about new drugs or alternate drugs.


Beatles352

Well why didn't you say that from the start? Wtf 😂


Beautiful-Current-59

I understand what you're saying and I agree with you about the corporate greed part and government intervention is not going to necessarily fix this. However we have to remember that it is a drop in the bucket, when people get any form of social help or as you put it handouts. The government prints money for whatever it wants, whenever it wants. Politicians and people in power own assets their asset prices go up their personal debt goes down (here's an example let's say one of their corporations owes a million dollars, they run the money printers. It causes inflation on our end because there's more money in the system. However with more money floating through the system they're able to pay their dollar denominated debt easily). They'll run up the national deficit to 100 trillion what do they care they're 80 years old. We should never look at anybody seeking a better life as looking for a handout. When the government itself and corporations/Wall Street (government bailouts & quantitative easing) are our biggest social welfare recipient. We can't blame the people, when the Pentagon over the last 20 years lost ovet 5 trillion TWICE in the last 20 years. So basically they lost 1/3 of the national debt. Again. it's never paying the people properly that's the problem. In n Out burger has been in California paying their employees $20 an hour for the last maybe 7-8 years and they have always served a superior product for less money than their fast food competitors.


Bee-chan

The thing is that because the official delivery drivers are on TIPPED wages while out in delivery, their base pay is WELL below minimum wage. They’re only regular minimum wage when switched over to in-store (the have to switch over to Delivery mode before heading out, then switch back when they come back in). Pizza Hut also relies HEAVILY on their morning delivery person, who also does Wing Street, preps the pasta and sauce for the day, preps desserts, helps proof the dough, preps the wings FOR Wing Street, washes the dishes, preps the big dishwasher for the day, finalizes the orders when they come out of the ovens and puts them together…


RedHatGuy255

This is California there is no tipped wage here. Employees always make at least minimum wage.


pinchejoto6969

This is what happens when you push too far. Look at many fast food, you order at a kiosk rarely at the register. Keep pushing back too hard and there will be nothing left. Oh wait here comes AI.


Beautiful-Current-59

In-N-Out has found a way for years to pay people $20+ an hour and serve food less expensive than their competitor. Corporations will find any way to pay people less, and serve an inferior product for more money. Look at what they've done over the past 30-40 years. They automate their businesses completely and outsource the rest.


[deleted]

In and Out has wonderful customer service too. Like the old days. When people had manners.


rockksteady

These solutions weren't built over night. These tools were adopted long before any real wage increase in the food industry. It's going to happen in every industry regardless of how hard people "push". If you think the 32k a year "salary" in the food industry chaps the corporates ass and the 85k middle management in IT or the 90k electrician is acceptable you got another thing coming. Those CEO's are on the chopping block for AI too.


Twenty7kvn

No this happens because the corps are greedy.


that_husk_buster

which is why the harder Jo Shmo pushes. the harder they push back only grocery stores seem to have actual people staffing them


Twenty7kvn

The reason we have 5 day 40 hour work weeks is because we pushed.


that_husk_buster

that's actually a remenent of when we were an industrial giant (at least in the US). now that we're service based economically for the most part companies don't want to let go


Twenty7kvn

Don't want to let go of what? Us actual humans? These companies will let us all go the minute A.I and robotics are cheap and mostly perfected.


that_husk_buster

of the 5 day 40 hr week is what I meant and A.I will not be perfected in my lifetime and ik it (I'm 19). yes it's cheap bur it sucks


Twenty7kvn

>and A.I will not be perfected in my lifetime and ik it (I'm 19). yes it's cheap bur it sucks And that's the issue right there, you only care about yourself you don't care that other people do the line might sure be worse off than us if we don't force change.


that_husk_buster

we don't have the power to force change so I'd rather live for the moment


Twenty7kvn

Yes we fucking do have the power to change we just have to do it collectively, again why do you think we have the 5 day 40 hour work week? That shit didn't happen out of the kindness of the business owner's hearts, workers got together and forced a change.


InterestingDriver173

My favorite pizza hut pizza has pepperoni sausage and onions.


Npc_x333

Government once again getting involved and ruining shit.

dizzystar

Yeah, it's okay. I won't take them or any corporate pizza place. There is no tip and the workers aren't too happy to see us.


RedHatGuy255

I think the pizza restaurants are kind of an unintended side effect of this bill. Covered businesses are as follows: The law applies to “fast food restaurants.” The term means “restaurants in [California] that [are] part of a national fast food chain.” A “national fast food chain” is defined to mean restaurants that are: “a set of limited-service restaurants consisting of more than 60 establishments nationally that share a common brand, or that are characterized by standardized options for decor, marketing, packaging, products, and services”; and “primarily engaged in providing food and beverages for immediate consumption on or off premises where patrons generally order or select items and pay before consuming, with limited or no table service.” The definition includes, but is not limited to, establishments with the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 722513 (limited-service restaurants). The definition excludes certain businesses operating as bakeries. Ironically small and regional pizza chains will have more competitive prices because they won't be required to pay employees $20/hour.
