So hardworking people who make a honest living everyday in America
Should be forced to get involved in illegal activities because the company their working for is profiting in the billions can't afford to pay them a little more
Why are Y'all against fastfood workers making $15/HR???

Bullshyt. With time and dedication any MCD employee can be like this guy;
"I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But now... now I'm washing lettuce. Soon I'll be on fries; then the grill. In a year or two, I'll make assistant manager, and that's when the big bucks start rolling in."
It's not as simple as that anymore, some people will end up being a fry cook forever. This ain't the 80s or 90s anymore, jobs are hard to come by and a college degree is the new HS diploma. Some people are just shyt out of luck
tWhy should they do something illegal when the company they work for is posting $30 billion a year income? They shouldn't have to risk their freedom or live below the poverty line just because a multi-billion dollar company doesn't want to cut into profits.

to some of those jobs listed. In high school, I worked at Sonic before I got a job as a pharmacy technician at a Walgreens. I'm sorry, but they were not the same. I actually had to take classes to become certified (learning all the drugs that are prescribed, why they are used, and possible reactions). I even had to learn some compounding (which could cause harm if done wrong). It actually took brain power to do my job as a pharmacy tech (I'm not talking about just ringing people up) as opposed to when I was carhopping and making fruity drinks. Also, I damn sure wasn't making 15/hr as a pharmacy tech.
And a lot of them are coming over here and ballin' so what's your point?
I am not worried about them specifically. You just obviously have no idea how inflation works and how it's bad for all of us in the long run. McDonalds gets their raise. Cool. No every unskilled employee will be demanding similar pay raises.
Watch as the price of your gas, groceries, food, clothing, utilities, transportation, etc. increases while your check stays the same.
Y'all are the type of people who think the problem to solving the U.S. economy is to just to print more money.
There's no way to replace my job friend. I actually have skills that are valued, technical, and that require human opinion/consultation/reasoning/intuition/judgment. Pretty sure you don't though since you think the shyt is unfathomable.

What in the hell man. Cost of living Vs. wages Is the reason why this is even an issue

This is just stupid.
Quick Facts: Pharmacy Technicians
2010 Median Pay$28,400 per year
$13.65 per hour
Entry-Level EducationHigh school diploma or equivalent
Work Experience in a Related OccupationNone
On-the-job TrainingModerate-term on-the-job training
Number of Jobs, 2010334,400
Job Outlook, 2010-2032% (Much faster than average)
Employment Change, 2010-20
Any job that just requires a high school diploma is not going to require more skill ( that can't be easily obtained through on the job training) as one that doesn't.

Pharmacy tech seems like a horrible job, BTW.

Exactly, we already have a problem so why are you suggesting actions that will lead to an even bigger disparity?:dafukk:

No one needs to pay fast food workers more. All we need is more jobs so that those who shouldn't be there, aren't there.
IF you all care so much about the shyt, start purchasing American cars, go pick up the local paper newspaper/magazine and read them, call a plumber when something goes wrong with your toilet instead of running to the hardware store and youtube, go to the library when you need to looking something up, go to Blockbuster and rent a DVD, go buy a CD from the CD store, attend the concerts/functions of educated musicians, etc.
All of y'all nikkas talkin' about being worried money and jobs, but I bet you don't do any of the shyt, or only 1-2 things of what I just listed

Most of you are really saying nothing besides the fact that you want damn near communism/socialism.
You clearly have not seen any Eastern Bloc countries. 
I honestly could give 2 fukks and think fast food should be shut down period. It's unhealthy anyway. If we are so worried about the good of the people, shut them shyts down if you really care

I understand OP, and if I had to choose I'd side with him over the people who are actively protecting the pockets of billionaires.
But I do think the OP's strategy isn't a long term solution either. If you raise the wages, the unskilled workers will eventually be pushed out by more skilled workers who can't find a job (or need a better paying job) in this shytty economy, or companies will look towards automation to drives workers out entirely. In addition if you raise the wages in these huge corporations, employees will be sucked out of mom and pop operations in search of higher salaries at the fast food giants, so you are also depressing smaller businesses.
A bigger problem is actually education. Our work force lacks it in the areas where many jobs are, and that is simply because the cost of education is becoming too high. Colleges have been able to get away with raising tuition almost every year without a care because the government is subsidizing it. But this rising cost has made the option to even attempt to be educated extremely far fetched, particularly for the poor/working class that work these McDonald's type jobs.

Some people will live in 2 bedrooms and not mansions, even though we have enough land for everyone out here.
