fast food workers think their wage should be doubled

» What is the market value of a fast food worker? » News -- GOPUSA
Is there no end to the absurd notion that certain people think that money grows on trees?

 

[syrenn]

fire them all. They can see if they can get more out of welfare.

 

[DiamondDave]

Well.. maybe they should think, study, and up their skills.. to make themselves more in demand.. instead of thinking that their efforts at a job that 99.999% of the adult populace could do with little to no training deserves double the money

 

[High_Gravity]

They can be easily replaced, do they not get that?

profit margins in a fast food restaurant are likely slim.

Prices of food will double, sending customers elsewhere.

Is that the goal?

Yes, of course.

I hope that you people will someday have to support yourselves.

 

[R.C. Christian]

Oh shut up.

 

[SteadyMercury]

What? I support myself.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Who's against a livable wage for all Americans??

[Luddly Neddite]

Oh shut up.

Whusta mattah sonny boy?

Truth hurt?

Tough. Grow up and face the world as an adult and maybe you'll GET IT.

Are you fucking serious? What are you 14?

You call 11 dollars a livable wage, LOL. I make 35 dollars an hour and live modestly. I can't imagine how 11 dollars an hour could ever be considered a "livable wage". But then again I don't work a job that a 16 year old should be working or even a college intern. When I delivered pizza in college I would have never went on strike as pizza delivery man! Are you people for real? Here's a suggestion: Fuck less, and reproduce less.

While it does suck to be working minimum wage pushing fast food... come on.

$15 an hour? I don't think so. That's more than CNAs, Caregivers, etc. These kinds of healthcare professionals work harder than those who make fast food, and we're supposed to sit by while these fast food people make $15 while healthcare workers make less? That is ridiculous.

Maybe increase their wage by $1. Not up to $15. Not possible. No way. America can survive without fast food.

I do, as well as my son. In other words, Dudley, you know we're right and you can't defend the absurd so you resort to your trolling Straw Man attacks.

Such a pathetic excuse of a man you are.

I have little use for your insolent prattle.

I think he's a Boomer actually, but boy, with his lack of maturity and basic common sense it sure is hard to tell, isn't it?

The government should decide what we should make, it's the only way

They can be easily replaced, do they not get that?

Apparently not. Their loss.

Yes indeed margins are slim.
To have a fast food franchise comes with many strings. Most common is the corporation designs the menu and decides which purveyors the franchisee is to use for food and supplies. There are fixed costs such as royalty fees.
The goal is to keep the prices as low as possible while providing a quality product.
High labor costs would make this impossible.
$15 or more per hour for unskilled labor is absurd.
In most cities that is a higher wage than skilled trades apprentices earn.
