LISTEN TO THE COMPLETE SHOW FOR DETAILS OF SUBJECTS DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW.

RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK w/ Dick Shalhoub re: “McDonalds”.
– DISCUSSION of the New York Post article about McDonalds $16 meal. This is a very old story. Prices use to be set by supply and demand. Now the CA. legislature has made it impossible to do business in CA. for may venders and stores have had to shop out of state which increases the cost to the customer.
– REPORT that some European stores are using computers rather than persons.
– REPORT that the employers don’t benefit, the customer doesn’t benefit, but payroll taxes and workman’s comp go up and the GOVERNMENT benefits.

– REPORT that the owners can pick ingredients.
– DISCUSSION of the impact of the 2024 minimum wage coming in Jan.,
