If he is going to start out every kid working at Chic-Fil-A at $17 an hour...that's just dumb.
I will say this...that restaurant has a LOT of biz here in Vegas.
They opened the first one here about a year and a half ago.
They had to have police on the scene directing traffic.
I go to the one that they built about 6 months ago on Rancho and Sahara. It ALWAYS has cars backed up in both drive-thru lanes and they have teens out there taking orders on digital pads because it's too much for the drive-thru speakers to be able to get done in a timely manner.
They also have a kiosk set up outdoors to pay and then you pull up to the window and they hand you your food.
It's all teenagers or people in their early 20's working there by the way. At least the people who are in contact with the public are all very young people.
Not sure if you would want to pay a kid $17 an hour to stand outside in the drive-thru lane and use his touchscreen pad for your Chic-fil-a sandwich and large sweet tea though. lol

The story I read about the Chick Fil A place said that the owner of it was basically changing his way of thinking. His theory was instead of just hiring whoever he could for minimum wage or just above, he would pay more and try to find workers who would be professional and stay around longer so he didn't have the added expense of constantly hiring people. I don't know if it is going to work for him, but it is an interesting idea.
