Depends if those staff still had a job to go to. Do you think employers are still going to have a human do a job when it can be automated for a lower hourly cost? It's also worth bearing in mind that the employer looks at total cost for each hour worked. That £12/hr increases to circa £15/hr once you factor in employers NICs, pension contributions, and 28 days paid holiday per annum.
I honestly and truthfully could not give a fudge. If the McDonalds business model folds because they can't pay their employees £12 an hour it wouldn't bother me a jot. I don't shop there.
