There is a reason high paid jobs exist and working at fast food places requires zero skill. I'm not knocking the job as it's good for some folk but to get paid anything more than minimum wage for a job like that is silly. I mean I've worked fast food and retail but certainly don't expect £10 a hour like a labourer would get or something like that. --- One who knows nothing can understand nothing. http://psnprofiles.com/wwinterj - http://i.imgur.com/kDysIcd.gif <cite>wwinterj25 posted [p:886042077] in Fast food ...

I just got back from taking my grandma to wal-mart--and she bought me a few things, bless her heart--and bruh for a place that fucking tries to advertise themselves with the slogan "Everyday low prices!" it was literally anything but Fucking medium sized bag of cheetos was fucking $2.50 no fucking joke and that's not even the worst of it. go to wal-mart and see just how shitty our economy has gotten while everyone was distracted with the presidential race bullshit and other shenanigans we're fucked unless we start paying our workers what they're fucking owed. you literally can't live on anything less than maybe $12/hour @ 40+ hours a week and don't give me that fucking high horse high pedestal bull shit like "DERRR WELL IF DEY WANT A LIVING WAGE WORK A REAL JOB NOT SOMETHING HIGH SCHOOL KIDS DO DERRR" Yeah dude because everyone is like you and has had all the same fucking opportunities and didn't commit any mistakes dude fuck off with that fucking shit. Not everyone is born with a diamond spoon in their colon and rich parents that do everything for them. Some people never even had parents. Don't anyone even fucking try saying that shit to me I wish somebody would tho You do realize that, if required to pay all of their employees more per hour, Wal Mart's prices will go even higher, right? You seemed to have contradicted yourself there. Shenti is just a beta so he doesn't understand stuff like that. He also doesn't seem to understand that those workers are already paid more than what they're owed, since the minimum wage bumps up the natural compensation for their labor. SmokeMassTree posted...

What is so special about the fast food workers where they all get to demand a $15 minimum wage, but no other jobs getting minimum wage can do the same? Either make the minimum wage $15 across the board at the federal and state level or just forget about it entirely. But let's not all act like running a fryolator is some specialized skill and driving a forklift isn't. Having worked in both fast food and in a warehouse, I found forklift a lot easier and less stressful, and it doesn't really take much skill, and it paid 50% more. IMO, the minimum should rise across the board (and here it is, thankfully). If that means that it's more economical to automate some of those jobs, so be it. Not all of them can be automated, and the duty that will inevitably get shunted to other employees for the things that automation can't take care of will more than justify the increased wage. --- http://i.imgur.com/6tJEBqH.jpg http://steamsigmaker.de/new/AlleRacing.png <cite>AlleRacing posted [p:886119972] in Fast food ...
