Do fast food workers really need $15/hr to fug up my drive thru orders?

pre-frozen? they froze it before they froze it? sounds complicated. maybe they do need a raise

How do you feel about corporations such as Walmart and McDonalds that encourage their employees to get on food stamps and medicaid because they pay such low wages their employees can't buy food and shit. The way I see it, they would rather the taxpayers take care of their employees. I do not know any small business that would encourage their employees to do something like that.

I don't know that all the blame should fall on the corporations, honestly. At some point, taxpayers (voters) need to stop putting people in power who serve as enablers. They pass laws and regulations like they're going out of style that allow big business to pay workers shit wages, because they know their employees have a safety net in the government. Everyone is to blame.

I've heard all sides of the argument, and my answer is simple: govmt needs to fuck off and get out of the private sector's business, private sector businesses need to take care of their employees and do a better job of both hiring people who want to progress and making professional progression within their company more readily available, and the employees need to have the personal responsiblity to live within their means.

Not everyone is dealt the same hand, that's fucking life. If you don't like your situation, make a change. I get sick of people bitching that they don't make enough money to be happy, but when you suggest they do something about it they have an excuse as to why they can't.

There are no jobs locally? Fucking move and find one. I moved 1700 miles when I was 18 for a job.

Can't pay for school? Bullshit. Get grants, loans, put money back slowly until you have enough, do whatever it takes. And for fuck's sake stop eating steak dinners every fucking night, cancel your cable service, get on a modest cell service, don't buy a car that the payments are so big you worry about paying them, and stop fucking smoking a pack a day.

Math is hard.

that shit is shipped to them frozen fucker. All they gotta do is thaw it out, grill that bish, put it on a piece of bread and stick it in a paper bag.

So if you raise minimum wage, then unskilled workers will make asmuch as skilled workers. What kind of sense does that make?

Skilled labor isn't cheap, and cheap labor isn't skilled.

It's not all frozen.

I don't eat fast food, but jesus fuck you have to be a retard to think it's sensible to pay someone 15-20 bucks an hour to show up, unpack a pre-made, pre-frozen meat patty, let it thaw, and then flip it on a hot surface a few times until it's brown.

The entry salary for my job was $14, if back then I had been told that a McDonalds employee taking orders, salting fries, swirling a McFlurry or flipping burgers made $15 while I'm dealing with child safety, visiting families, transporting people and going to court... I would have choked a puppy.

When I go into In-N-Out, it's almost all kids working behind the counter. I assume the adults are manager types. I mean someone has to supervise those punks. But really though, the kids at In-N-Out are all pretty pleasant. They seem happy to be working there. Even the adults do too.

Carl's Jr., not so much. I love that goddamn teriyaki burger though.
