If they raised the minimum wage 10% (not double, let&#x27;s be realistic), it would raise McDonalds&#x27; incentive to eliminate a small percentage of staff.<p>Look at how supermarkets now have self-checkout. 4 self-checkout stations going with one employee monitoring, and customers don&#x27;t mind using them. In fact many customers prefer them because they help them get out of the store more quickly. There&#x27;s no reason to think that McDonalds won&#x27;t eventually try to eliminate some of the staff that takes orders. It&#x27;s just a question of when they&#x27;ll be incentivized enough to try it.
