Fast Food Workers Want $15/Hr Minimum Wage....

[Jhoon]

Eat fast food, brehs

Food, especially fast food, isnt the food from yesteryear. Companies looking to fill their margins have led to fast food being the garbage it is now. The company poisons the community, charged exorbitant rates to fix the symptoms of the poisoning, then gave the carcass to the government for burial. The government looks at the dead carcass and asks what value is left. Its almost poetic.

There's a reason why the rich are getting richer and it's not because of the workers demanding a living wage. What you 1% aspiration, 5 dollars reality azz dudes don't seem to understand is that no one is saying everyone should live like kings. How is wanting to be able to pay your rent something wrong.

Let's talk about this notion of everyone starting their own business. That in of itself is flawed because in every business you need workers how would you make money when your employees are hustling and effectively taking your customers.

Not everyone has the ability to run their own business. Heck look at the restaurant industry. The most profitable business employs the idea of making their employees happy. Studies have shown that employees work harder.

Of course some people are going to not want to work and look for the easy way out.

Want you really have is the top realizing that if they pin you against each other you effectively do their dirty work. It has been proven that workers are taking on more responsibility at the same pay than ever before.

So let me ask you this..... Don't you think you should be getting more pay for what you do???? Or do you like working longer hours while the top post IG pictures of what they HAVE, due to you being scared of losing your job to supplant the overwhelming inequality of wages.

Some of you have a misunderstanding of lower level workers thinking they all are lazy workers when I am sure where you work you can point to a few getting paid more than you.

My pop was a low wage worker and he worked hard sometimes to the point of him not being able to get out of bed. He was very smart but was never able to catch a break. Does that mean that he should not be afforded a living wage. He put his work in...

Look at the debacle of college now... More people have degrees than any time in history.. These people can't even get a job but to some of you delusional folks they just need to start a business, well because that's soooooo ooooooo easy.


Those bootstraps are choking you and it's not your hands on them.....

You're making too much sense. These smart-dumb nikkas don't even own their own minds. They're stuck in the matrix.

If they want 15/hr, they should go to school for a better career.

you sound like an old white woman right now

 

[jilla82]

oh ok. since you do fine, everyone should do fine too? what's wrong with the world then? do they need to just be more like you?

yes!

The average person in this country reads 1 book a year (28% havent read 1 in the last year)!
That means that most people arent even trying to better themselves day in and day out.
How are you going to demand more money, when you arent improving yourself?

People need to be real about their situations...how did you get stuck working at Mcdonalds in the first place? Why dont you want more for yourself?

 

[Don Mack]

Only if they raise the pay scale significantly for everybody else. Minimum wage should be increased but not to 15 unless everyone else gets an increase.

The rich get richer because they understand how money works...and they focus on it.
Its like getting mad at people in the gym because they get in better shape each year...while this country gets fatter.

Im not disputing that lower wage people dont work hard...they just arent working smart.

College is a dream sold to everyone...hopefully more people wake up and realize its really not needed unless you want to go into one of the sciences.
Not everyone can be the boss...but everyone can have a hustle.
I just hired a guy for a job that does what I need him to do on the side.
He said he has 4 other jobs he's working on when he's off work...and if he's smart w/ money he can flip that into something else.


There are a good number of manual labor jobs that pay 6 figures after a few years of experience...these positions are open, its just that folks arent getting the training.
Like I said...a lot of people are working stupid.

I believe workers should get paid a certain percentage depending on how well the company is doing and can afford them to pay them

fast food companies are getting over, they can pay their workers 20 an hour and still get over

Yes, if the lower wage earners earn a higher wage, youre going to get a higher wage. This is why property owners are against raising wages. By default, theyre in the business of suppressing wage expenses.

How about just aim higher. Fast food positions are supposed to be temporary. I personally never understood people that work at mcdonalds or Burger King for years and years

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

obviously we know that fast food workers aren't unionized and that most of them can't really afford to stay out of work for any extended period of time but believe it or not they still have the power to organize a strike...a consumer strike.

what if these workers were to start a massive, MASSIVE social media campaign urging people across the country to stop eating at these targeted restaurants after a specific date? get whoever was behind the ice bucket challenge bullshyt and spearhead something for "low wage awareness".

get the fukkin word out that a revolt like this could result in positive change for everyone, not just fast food workers. pick a date like a month from now and just start promoting the shyt out of it. get the word out that starting on that date NO ONE should eat at any of those targeted restaurants. it could be huge.

it's gotta be a concentrated effort. i'm talkin facebook, instagram, youtube... all that shyt. educate the people. make some videos informing everyone how important this is and how everyone watching has the power to make change. i could already see it makin all the news stations and seein all the dumb ass talkin heads on TV debating over it.

drill the fukkin date in everyone's head. start a movement.

is it gonna convince everyone? no. but i could see millions upon millions of people taking part. and honestly that might be enough. even if all these restaurants saw like a 30% decrease across the board for a solid 2 weeks it would probably get them sweating a bit.

what do you say coli brethen. you down?

october 1st.

say no to fast food.
say now to low wages.

They work there years and years because theyre being held captive by this economic model.
