"I think Whoppers are closer to $9.
Seems like they were $13 the last time I passed through HNL. Probably $15 now. Good times."
"Living wages" for part time entry-level high school labor has consequences:
$14.00 per hour beginning January 1, 2024;
$16.00 per hour beginning January 1, 2026; and
$18.00 per hour beginning January 1, 2028.
(Amount paid by employers basically doubles after paying the various taxes and insurances). In a few years those $15 whoppers will feel like the good ole days.
