LOL, don't they realize that their jobs aren't worth $15/hr and that is why they don't get paid that much?

So if this happens (which it won't) is my big mac meal going to cost $20? If you don't like your shitty low paying job go back to school and find a better one. That's what the rest of us did.

So, I hated my low pay sh*t job, so I got a higher paying sh*t job and doubled my income.

Six figure household and I still have yet to get a college degree. What's YOUR excuse?

Entry level job = entry level wage





Although they sure could do with a union.

The fast food industry has already jumped the shark. But, if it had been unionized when I worked there in the 80's, maybe today the workers would mostly speak English and wouldn't screw up my order almost EVERY time. When I worked there, I was paid almost double the minimum wage, every employee spoke English, and we rarely got an order wrong.
