Yep....if you expect people to work hard then you pay them a higher wage. If you pay less you should expect less production. It's the way things work. I could care less about McDonald's and what happens to them. All the more reason to get an education in a desired field. Making ends meet on 10 dollars per hour isn't called living....it's called struggling. And no I don't expect mcpukes to pay more because they don't expect much. They want a high turnover rate as do all lower wage employers.
