Why should they get $15 when they always mess up your order?

Basically don't rely on fast food as a career. Only as a temporary job in high school or college.

If they only hired teens and college students, they'd only be open from about 4PM to 10PM on weekdays.

College student barely go to class anymore: they double dip on student loans and working fast food while not actually studying, then wonder why they end up mowing lawns upon graduating

Nobody gets a job with the expectation they should be unable to live off their income. Theres no point of a job otherwise.

plenty of people get part time jobs, which obviously isn't a livable situation. also, some people have side jobs, which are for extra money.

You really think you should be able to afford an apartment, car, internet, phone, cable, car insurance, medical insurance, groceries, gasoline, condoms, electricity, a computer, furniture, lamps, light bulbs, cleaning supplies, and clothing, just for assembling double cheeseburgers for 32 hours a week?

Why should they bother getting your order right if it costs about as much for your one meal as they make in an hour?

Because if we could figure out how to keep the kitchen clean, I can train monkeys to do their job - and they'd do it better, faster, and with less teenager drama bullshit.

One that you, the customer, insult them for and say they don't deserve to live off their labor. Yet at the same time, their labor is an essential function.

https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/minimum-wage/2015/home.htm
The following are highlights from the 2015 data:
Age. Minimum wage workers tend to be young. Although workers under age 25 represented only about one-fifth of hourly paid workers, they made up about half of those paid the federal minimum wage or less. Among employed teenagers (ages 16 to 19) paid by the hour, about 11 percent earned the minimum wage or less, compared with about 2 percent of workers age 25 and older. (See tables 1 and 7.)


They aren't essential and teenagers and college students do not deserve a livable wage. And if the best you can do is minimum wage jobs into your 30s and beyond that's why social programs exist, that provide actual essentials, which shockingly doesn't include McDonald's

Well they can always work for and earn a job paying above minimum wage.

Alternatively give 40% of their earnings to unions, bringing them right back to what they were making before.
