I looked at this recently and he has. Years ago. They had to, because everyone sees these jobs as bad.
In fact, that’s one reason for this company to want a minimum wage increase. Won’t cost them nearly as much as it’ll cost some competitors (especially mom&pop places, I imagine).
The cynical read, that ceos can only be selfish monsters, would argue he’s trying to use this common misconception. People can hear that even McDonald’s demands it, assume every small business will benefit, and maybe get something signed into law over the broader restaurant lobby (which definitely doesn’t want a higher minimum wage regardless of tipping)
nice of him to say minimum wage should be higher so he can make more money, but why isn’t he increasing it for his own workers?
he’d get a competitive edge and put some pressure on other companies in competing markets to do the same. what’s stopping him?
