In’n’Out Burger, a Southern California-based chain with stores all over the western US, pays all new hires a minimum of $10.50/hr.
Full-timers get a full benefits package, part-timers get access to various group insurance plans and a retirement plan. Everyone gets vacation time. Everyone gets paid for holidays when the store is closed (part-time pro-rated).
And no one works for starting pay ten years after they’re hired.
The result?

Costs less than a Big Mac, too.
“If we didn’t abuse our employees we couldn’t sell you a cheap burger” is nonsense.
