Working at fast food has become 3rd class job. Its undesirable. Most of the folks who work there can barely speak English, in terms of major cities. But in hicktown Indiana, its going to be kids mostly. However, there is always that 50 year old loser who never made a life for themselves.

Here is the deal. An old friend of mine's mother worked at McD's. She has worked there for 30+ years. She started out at the bottom, and became regional manager. She started off making minimum wage and now makes over $50000 a year (she lives in small town in Minnesota, so extrapolate that to your area) and wears suits to work. If you want it bad enough, you can do it. Plain & simple.

A fast food worker in New York definitely deserves to make $20/hr not minimum wage. How you expect someone not to go out there and slang dope or rob when they can't find a job except Crap Ronalds who wants to give them $7.25/hr and less than 40 hours to avoid providing healthcare (of course the Fed gave Crap Ronalds a waiver on the healthcare laws too). Crap Ronalds is a multi-billion dollar worldwide corporation. They can't take better care of their hard working in restaurant employee's? GTFOH These workers might take a little more pride in making your McFat meals for all the McFattys if they were justly compensated for it. When they drop your horse burger on the ground they might toss it instead of wrapping it up and serving it to you like its all good. Private entities such as In N Out pay their workers $10+/hr and will pay for college. A multi Billion worldwide conglomerate like Crap Ronalds can't do better? If you believe that to be true you have been bamboozled. The workers need to unionize, real talk.
Just $20 per hour? Why not $50, $100, $500? Shit, how about a free car to get to work? Why stop there? How about fully paid healthcare for their whole immediate and extended family? College too. While we're at it lets throw in guaranteed annual bonuses? Actually, fuck annual! These are professional cashiers and burger flippers, they deserve daily bonuses. Should we talk about retirement as well? I vote full pensions for all, including family and close or estranged friends. McDonald's should also cover burial expenses and set up full scholarship programs in honor of each and every fallen fry tosser.

What a bitter fool you are. Entitled, ungrateful, uninformed, and hateful of success. A picture perfect union pawn.

and LOL @ this guy, saying a fucking McDonalds employee should make $20 an hour lol that's about $40,000 a year and extra LOL @ "hard working employee". You ever ate at a McDonalds, what hard work are they doing there? lol
$40,000 ain't sh!t outside of Podunk, USA.

I make between 2-3 times what the average person in my industry makes. I receive profit sharing, stock, quarterly bonuses, wage increases, health dental disability and life insurance, sabbaticals vacation sick and holiday time, and a pension and I only work on average 14 days/ month. Do you want to know why? Because the corporation I work for, whose profits are $50+ Billion per year, takes care of their employees. They do this because they are a worldwide industry leader in an industry that is not unionized. Many have attempted to form unions in my industry. Employers such as my own do this to keep unions out and to keep their employees happy, which the current POTUS came to personally to praise their groundbreaking of new construction in the US versus overseas, praise their treatment of their workers through wages and other benefits, and praise what we do for the world.

It really is a slave mentality to put a corporation, such as McDonalds, Burger King, or Yum Brands, aka the plantation, whose profits are multi-billion annually yet cannot provide the simplest forms of employee appreciation such as profit sharing competitive wages and health insurance (to name a few), before your fellow (wo)man.

Any serious fast food person who wants good wages & benefits need to move to California & apply at In-N-Out Burger.

Any other fast food place that pay's their employees anymore than they have to better have the orders correct every fuckin' time.
That's what I always hear about IN N OUT. The few times that I go to McDonalds by my house they're incompetent as fuck, it's irritating they can't get a simple ass food order right. Lol @ serious fast food person tho, if I worked At in n out I'd be eating double doubles daily

Higher wages mean more money that will stimulate the economy, especially on the lower end of the socioeconomic scale.
If you raise minimum wage, you have to raise the dudes wage (accordingly) that was makin 5 bucks above min. Then you gotta raise the chicks wage whos makin 8 more than min. Up and up the ladder. Eventually, the minimum wage is higher but not any more valuable.

Fast food aint worth more than the minimum. You can get work at McDonalds at 16 years old.

No you don't. If the minimum wage kept up with inflation, atleast there would be an argument for it but it has gotten worse the past 30 years.

Yes you do

You can literally, no bullshit, be a crackhead and get a job at McDonalds. If you were to up and give McDonalds workers say a $5.00 an hour raise you would definately have to spread that across all industry.

Why would somebody bust their ass to go to school for a degree or a certification if crackhead high school drop out changes minimum wage jobs every 2 months Joe Blow gets paid the same?

The fuck would I want to put in effort to better myself with years of schooling or training and actually put in work and bust my ass every day to just look over and watch some loser pouring fries into a fryer and wiping down some tables twice a night make as much money as me.

There's a reason McDonalds employees don't make shit, because A: it takes zero training or experience to get their job, B: their job isn't hard and they barely do anything for work, and C: there's more people looking for these shitty jobs due to lack of education or being a complete fuck up than the actual jobs that exist, one minimum wage worker quits a job, 10 more are gonna swoop in and try to get it.



Handing these people who do easy, but shit work more money just establishes that you can be lazy and don't have to succeed in this world, but we'll just give you what everyone else has anyway because you can't live as good as the person that busted their ass and it makes you sad. lol






*in before the excuses about people's environment or upbringing is why they're stuck in these jobs, can't wait to here that one.

I do find it interesting that many on the Sicc showed support for servers at restaurants stating they work hard and deserve their tips(I remember that thread), but belittle the fast food employees by saying they dont work hard. Sorry, but neither job requires any critical thinking skills or education passed high school. A 16 year old can work at McD's, but they can also work at a restaurant as well.

i have yet to see anyone live comfortably in california off of 15/hour..the problem is a lot of these people have over crowded house holds of which some are full grown adults that do nothing, also they need start cutting out some of those unnecessary expenditures such as xbox live, cable and possibly the internet bills...maybe getting a car note was a bad choice to..but what i say is speculation as i dont know each situation..but perhaps having a bunch of kids that you arent able to afford comes into mind also...also 15/hour in some of these rural ass areas of the USA would be like living a california dream...15 in cali is poverty basically...i have a few friends who struggle making 18-20 hr..but they sacrifice other shit to make it work for the area they live in ...but if fast food chains say ok to 15 hr to flip burgers..im quitting my job and working for them...why should i have to work hard to get ahead when these people can complain and be heard ...i'll flip ya'll some pink slime, get your order wrong, look at you funny, or tell you no when you ask for that extra dipping sauce...sounds good to me
