On a trip to California last week, this is what I found in a Jack-in-the-Box restaurant. Putting in a machine like this is a natural response by firms who see minimum wage increases (or threats of minimum wage increases). The firms will replace low-skilled employees with machinery.
California increased their minimum wage on July 1, 2014 (to $9.00/hour). That is terrible news for young and low-skill workers.
