    In other words, if you don’t want to pay more for fast food, then you don’t actually want to see fast food workers earn a better wage.

    If a business relies on exploitation, it shouldn’t exist. If paying the workers a living wage means raising the prices beyond a sustainable level for the business, this business shouldn’t exist. If a business pays out millions in bonuses to it’s executives while the workers are relying on government subsidies, the business shouldn’t exist.

      That’s true. But restaurant owners aren’t paying millions to anyone.

      And hiking prices to pay fast food employees more isn’t unsustainable. It just means customers won’t eat fast food as often as they used to.
