$15 an Hour Gets You......

Face it, the Min. wage is a UNION THUGERY plot to get their workers MORE money per hour than they currently get. More than half of all UNION CONTRACTS are tied into a higher % of Min. wage that will substantially RAISE the cost of everything to the consumer...and just HOW MANY people make Min. wage in the country....

1. about 2 percent of Americans get paid the minimum...

   Dec 8, 2013 ... About 2 percent of Americans get paid the minimum wage. ... raise the federal minimum wage and offered a flurry of statistics to help make his point. ... It counted only minimum-wage workers who are actually paid by the hour.

Quite frankly, I believe it goes much deeper than that. Today, most fast food jobs are held by illegals. For some insane reason, the left feels this "need" to insure that these people can make a career out of flipping burgers. I don't understand the logic - because the fast food industry, just like any other major employer, will NOT be extorted. Instead, they will go fully automated. As well they should.

I heard about that phone prank back in the 70's. It's a funny story, but I doubt anyone fell for it back then, or recently either.

So you think every news agency in the world who are running this story got pranked to too?

Yep. Either that, or somebody fell for a very old phone prank.

If I were to receive a call like that, I wouldn't hesitate to ask what fire department they are with and then dial star 69 to see if I can get the number that the person is calling from. Then if they actually gave me the name of a fire department, I would call the place and ask if anyone working there has the number that the person called me from.

God bless you always!!!

COON RAPIDS, Minn. -- A prank caller tricked workers at a Minnesota Burger King into smashing the windows of the restaurant to keep it from exploding, police said Saturday, mirroring similar deceptions at Burger Kings and other fast-food restaurants in other states in recent months.

Police said employees at the restaurant in the Minneapolis suburb of Coon Rapids got the call Friday night from someone claiming to be with the fire department. The caller said the restaurant could explode, so they needed to relieve the pressure. The manager and other employees believed the caller and smashed all the windows on the ground floor.

"Officers arrived and found that the manager and employees of the Burger King were smashing out the windows," Sgt. Rick Boone told the Star Tribune. "The manager explained they'd received a phone call from a male who identified himself as a fireman who said there were dangerous levels of gas in the building and they had to break out all the windows to keep the building from blowing up."

Boone said there was no immediate cost estimate for the damage. The restaurant was boarded up Saturday, and investigators were trying to identify the caller.

Someone placed a similar call to a Burger King in Shawnee, Oklahoma, on Thursday night, claiming there were high levels of carbon monoxide in the building. KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City reported that the window damage there was estimated at $10,000.

"It is a little upsetting that they would try to give the fire department a black eye," Thomas Larman, of the Shawnee Fire Department, told the station. "We would never do anything like that. We're here to serve the public, protect the public."

A similar call to Burger King in Morro Bay, California, about a purported gas leak in early February resulted in $35,000 in damage. Not only did employees smash the windows, but a manager went as far as ramming his car into building. And police in Tucson, Arizona, say several similar prank calls were placed to Jack in the Box restaurants there in early February, fooling workers at one store. A similar incident happened at a Wendy's in Phoenix in late January.
