If you're an adult working in fast food, you better either be an owner, a supervisor, or someone who isn't the primary breadwinner in the family.
Otherwise, you're a loser.
That's the plan.There's an election in bit more than 60 days. All the minimum wage hoopla now is to get the dim's extremely low information/wage earners ginned up against the rich republican corporate folks in hopes it'll help get them to the polls. Period, as Barry would say.
BOBO is at the top of the list.Only an absolute idiot would think that giving FF workers $15/hour is a good idea.
Just a note: fast food like Burger King and McD's etc., is more expensive in Europe: possibly because employees are paid higher wages. Even so, these restaurants are always packed. If you don't want to pay for the food, don't go to those restaurants.Fast food workers take to the streets
Thousands of fast food workers are expected to stage protests Thursday outside of restaurants such as McDonald’s, Burger King and Domino’s in a coordinated push for higher pay.
Backed by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), fast food workers in 150 cities plan to walk off the job and pick up picket signs to demand that they be paid no less than $15 per hour. It will be the seventh strike organized by the Fast Food Forward campaign since November 2012, when the campaign began.
"At Thursday’s strike, fast food restaurants will see firsthand that workers are willing to do whatever it takes to win $15 and union rights,” said Kendall Fells, the organizing director at Fast Food Forward, which receives funding from the SEIU.

The only result the SEIU would have is increasing the prices of fast food so it would no longer be the deal it is today, pushing consumers away.
Looks like there may be job openings at the Fast Food places if anyone is interested...

Tell that to pretty much every inner city Black who lives on salt/fat/carbonated sugar water and MSG. They are the majority of customers. Fast food franchise owners could write an encyclopedia on the 'inner city' politics' of who to hire and who not to hire IF they don't want their businesses looted and burned.Just a note: fast food like Burger King and McD's etc., is more expensive in Europe: possibly because employees are paid higher wages.

Let's see what happens to the franchise when a group of 'young Black men' descend on their nearest McDonalds and orders a Big Mac with fries and drink and the cashier tells them "that will be fifteen dollars" LOL!
"Well we have to charge that amount. Your second cousin over there behind the frieri is now making $15.00 an hour."
Good fucking luck with that pal.
The answer, to be blunt, is they are not mentally capable to accomplish anything but the most simple task. Even that is a stretch.I've actually been having much this same discussion with some buddies on FB the past couple/few days. One of them brought up the point about the number of jobs that would have their value destroyed by paying FF workers $15/h. They exampled CNA's making on average $12/h. Why go get CNA training if you'd make less than a FF worker, right? So the CNA's would have to get a raise, which means the RN's need a raise, etc. The ultimate costs to maintain employment value would be in the billions of dollars.
My personal experience just doesn't fit with this situation or the min wage thing - My middle son graduated HS last fall, worked at McD's for 6months, and got promoted to manager. My eldest graduated HS 2 years ago, he worked full time as a busser making $10/h, and part time as a mechanic's lacky for $15/h his first summer after; He's now working full time in mechanics and making $19/h plus they said they'd pay for his certifications and stuff after he had the required experience time. Hell my 13 year old got a job in customer service making $9/h last summer.
I personally just don't get why these folks are working low pay fast food if they're trying to support a family (or min wage trying to raise a family) and I can't help feeling that they are doing something wrong/poorly/etc. at work. What is preventing them from getting a better paying job?
I don't think fast food workers should make as much as CNAs. Being a CNA is a skilled profession and much harder work than working in a fast food joint. I used to work for a company that placed medical workers, including CNAs. Those people are trained and work very hard. It's a job I wouldn't want to do for any amount of pay.I've actually been having much this same discussion with some buddies on FB the past couple/few days.

Hence 'Affirmative Action'.
Jesus Christ! Look who the 'OJ jury put in the White house? The first 'AA' President in history'
Look what a fuck-up he's been.
All he want's to do is fucking golf. And even at that he's basically a failure.
Ever hear any of his fucking MSNBS sycophants brag how good a golfer BOBO is? NOPE.
