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

[IAmGettingAMailOrderBride]

shyt my friends pops works at Costco. This nikka make over $20 and hour .

No degree. He been working there for years but my homeboy said they start you out close to $12 an hour.

I mean fast food workers do get paid scraps but a lot of professional people should get paid more as well.

Costco pays so good but it hard to get into
My friend makes 16 on sundays

America is the richesr country in the world yet its minimum wage is not on par with other countries.

15 is way to high, and all it would do is pass the costs to the consumers and cut workers shifts.

Theyre passing the cost on anyway to increase their margins.

This has been proven false study after study.

you think youre so special. Wait until they find a replacement for you.

Everyday, more and more lawyers are being displaced.....

Private market for the win, breh.

You can do anything when you build your OWN client base and don't have to succumb to the whims of any law firm.

This is my thinking, as well.
Like, people labored and had to spend six figures to get educations and they STILL end up only managing a Wal-Mart or something because they had to settle (not that there’s anything wrong with that, but that’s NOT what they intended when they were GETTING that degree and that’s not how the job market is right now)….and they struggling to get paid what they’re educations say they’re worth…

…but you want $15 to do work that it only takes a DAY to train you on?
A better idea would be allowing fast food workers to work for tips.

DUDE, YOU CANT BE SERIOUS? I was raised not to look down on any job. I do remember my mom working fast food as a part time from her Federal government job when I was little to. Anything can happen in life breh, wouldnt you want somebody who may have to resort to that job due to circumstance at least being able to cover themselves slightly? I mean damn y'all

thats only like 25k a year why yall mad?
yall dont understand that corporations have increased worker efficiency by making them do more work for the same amount of pay when you take into account inflation
while they make record profits fukk outta here
it should be around 11-13 to be fair but i have no problem the ceo making damn near a billi every year and he do less work than them

Its not false you think companies wouldn't bump the price of a burgee or fries to cover that increase in salary ?

Instead if having 5 cashiers they'd have foirb

Instead of four waitresses 3

This has been proven false study after study.

I cant wait for the day the monster you cheered on as is destroyed other villages, destroys your home.

The real minimum wage should be $25 or $26.

Why? How?

Not being facetious, I'm genuinely interested to hear how you think that would work.

And...if minimum wage is $25/hr, and a person CURRENTLY makes $30/hr, does THEIR pay rate go up, as well? And who gon' pay for all that there?

To cover the gap in wage increases? No.

And you can't decrease workers or you decrease quality and profits

Why you so hostile, B?

Here's my thinking....nobody should be trying to survive off of a Fast Food salary alone. Get up, go to school, get some certs, do something to better your life. There's no reason why a person should be able to sit at home, get a part-time job at McDonalds, and be able to live "comfortably." There are jobs that are at the bottom of the pyramid and they're there for a reason, and they need to stay there.

If youre truly interested, take an economics class. I paid for my education, you should too, commie.

I don't understand how anyone could be opposed to this
