First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Exactly. All you have to do is boycott these places.. problem solved

LMAO! How the fukk you figure. You boycott they lose money, they not gonna give people raises in hopes the customers comeback. More muthafukkas will just be unemployed.

I dont look down on shyt and I worked in a fukkin checkers so no idea what you are talking about, but we need to consider fast food is a cheap fast way to get shytty food. If you are ok with it being a more expensive fast way to get shytty food, then go right ahead and start cutting those checks.

You keep looking at this shyt like an arm chair qb. If you owned a McDs and you have 8 kids working making $18-20k a year... You ok with giving those same 8 kids/adults 32k+ a year? And if so, do you think your profits and prices stay the same? Everyone here assumes every mcd, every wendys is just swimming with money, do they profit of course, but thats because they factor in their money in -money out.. now If you change that by about 100k+ a year that changes things..

I will sit back and wait for your posts bytching about your $8 big macs...

I don't care about any companies profit.. Mickey D's doesn't not have some inherent right to exist and make money. If they cant compete then they deserve to go out of business. If the market demands it then another more innovative fast food chain will take their place. There are plenty of ways to innovate to save money outside of just keeping wages low. The problem is these companies are not investing in their own future by innovating. They can save millions a year through simple supply chain innovations and other improvements. The reason they attack wages and cut workers hours first is simply cause they can get away with it for now and it's easier than being force to innovate. Mickey D's is already losing ground to their more innovate competitors like five guys, in and out burger etc.. And speaking of in and out burger.. they have been making profits, expanding, and paying a higher starting wage(over $10 per hour) for years..

They are entitled because they feel the manual tasks that their job entail mean they deserve 15 an hour. Work multiple jobs. That's how its fuvking done. Either do that or put in work till you get a better one.

Fast food jobs aren't worth 15 an hour. I worked fast food when I was in high school and in thought I was making bank with 9 bucks. Those jobs aren't supposed to feed a fukking family. The end

They're far from entitled. They're smart enough to fight for better compensation, which is how workers even got rights in the first place. If minimum wage kept up with inflation, it'd be around $20 an hour. Why would they work multiple jobs when they can get better compensation from their own job who is pulling in millions, if not billions in profits and can pay CEOs millions even if the business isn't doing great?

What will you do when you get that 'better job', but then your company tells you to take a 50% paycut or they're going to ship your job overseas or bring in some foreigner on a work visa? Like it or not, that's what these companies are doing, and it's easy to dismiss the claims of fast food workers, because the higher skilled jobs aren't affected to the same extent... but automation and cultivating cheap labor will come for those 'prestigious jobs' too.

Oh well

If my job 10 or 20 years from now is going to be replaced by robots, I guarantee I would have had the foresight to understand that and would have taken precautions, or even better, went to a profession where the risk was lower. Because I'm not a simpleton and I plan ahead and don't try to feed a family of four on a goddamn Wendy's paycheck.

The only thing thats going to happen is Wendy's and other places are going to implement these automated services faster so they can wash their hands of this bullshyt and these lazy muhfukkas even faster.

They gonna be BEGGING for that 9 dollars an hour back. And I won't give a flying fukk because for the first time in years I got my goddamn order CORRECTLY

That's what's fukking ironic about this whole shyt. We got college kids with ridiculous loans doing unpaid internships that these companies profit from immensely and everyone acts like that shyt is gravy

It's like I'm living in some wacko world where people enjoy getting fukked by their overseers.. instead of following suit they legit getting mad an underpaid people for asking for a raise

Ol "shhhhh you'll make massa mad at us" ass house negros

CEOs shouldn't be taking home more than 200k/year.. and no bonuses

See how stupid that sounds?

Trust me, there will be an app in the near future that doesn't require strenuous time and effort in learning a new language.

Besides, traveling just to find work is pointless. Become an innovator and be good at running your own business. Stop being a damn employee.

Being able to communicate without the app is the skill. And your greatly underestimating the power of a dollar in other countries.

Being an innovator and running your own business isn't a plan, nor will it help in an overall bad economy.

why fret at this point,humanoids act like soulless automatons anyways..

really makes sense as to how this is our last incarnation for this yuga though,if you're gonna make it through Harmageddon/ecosystem/social system destruction you prolly have to transfer your consciousness to a literal android anyhow..

and not the cool kind like the Terminators or Human,they prolly gonna SoulSwipe your consciousness and make you inhabit a fukkin static Wendy's ordering machine anyways..
