So, you're shitting on the people trying to earn an honest living with livable wages from making the fast food shit burgers and fries and chemical drinks you love to eat and drink but can't be fucked to make yourself.

Or are you shitting on the shit burgers themselves? The focus of your disdain is sketchy.

I wasn't aware McDonalds paid $15 an hour.

 

[bronzeage]

I know a man who makes $28 an hour. He sits in a chair and watches gauges on a control panel. On most days, the gauges never move. If a gauge moves, he pushes a button. That's it.

Unbelievable skills, but no one posts videos about him.

I used to do much the same.
The part that is a little harder than people thing is knowing which gauges are important and what button to push.

Didja happen to notice here that the folks most critical about jobs are either on the government dole (Ish, Amicus, Vetty) or rely on their spouse to be the primary breadwinner due to their spotty employment history (miles, AJ)?

Yeah, that's what they say.

If that's what you think, then you were overpaid.

If it's not worth $15 an hour, the solution is simple, boycott fast food places, and they won't be able to hire people anymore... but that woudl mean that the lazy fucks like the OP would have to make their own food, since they can't find a woman who will do it for them.

A Burger Joint Pays $15 An Hour. And, Yes, It's Making Money

Fast-food workers rallied around the country Thursday, calling for a minimum wage of $15 an hour. But in suburban Detroit, a small but growing fast-casual burger and chicken chain has already figured out how to pay higher wages and still be profitable.

When Moo Cluck Moo opened its first location almost two years ago, the starting pay for all workers was $12 an hour. The idea, according to co-founder Brian Parker, was to train everyone to multitask.

No one is just flipping burgers. All of the workers are expected to be jacks-of-all-trades: They bake buns from scratch daily, they house-make aioli and prepare made-to-order grass-fed burgers and free-range chicken sandwiches.

And, now, says Parker, the investment is paying off. Revenue is up at the chain's two locations. And workers are sticking around. And their pay now? It's up to $15 an hour. By comparison, a typical fast-food worker in the U.S. makes about $8 or $9 an hour.

"Because of our low turnover, and the fact that people are really into their jobs, $15 an hour wasn't a big stretch," Parker says.

Parker says there are savings in not having to constantly train new hires, and his workers are empowered because they're given so much responsibility.

I didn't argue with them when they wanted to give me a raise.

Which is KINDA like the government mandating that every bored, disinterested poorly performing worker in America get the same wage, devaluing the accomplishment of that particular business and its workers.

Of course you didn't. Just because you didn't understand your job, it didn't make you worth less to them.

No, the familiar cry of those opposed to raising the minimum wage is that it will hurt businesses, that they simply can't profit if they pay a decent wage to their workers. This example puts that claim to rest. There is no reason why other fast food poison factories can't follow their example.

It does no such thing. The business model for burger kind does not require its employees to make fresh aioli by hand. Its burgers are affordable to and purchased by the masses. It does not compete with the above restaurant nor should it.

I guarantee that if you put one of these flash-in-the pan high-priced burger places across from a burger King it will not put Burger King out of business.

Comparing a skilled job with an unskilled job is stupid. Comparing the needs of a niche-market business with the kinds of businesses where teens get their first job is stupid.

The workers that fabricate and box Sauder particle-board assemble it yourself furniture are not in the same line of work as custom cabinetmakers.

Do you have any concept about the need to compare apples to apples when drawing comparisons and making valid generalities?

 

[DooleyDarter]

A person should get paid as much as they can. If the job they work at doesn't meet their financial requirements, they should think about getting some training to allow them to move up the food chain so to speak. If you don't want a minimal income, you shouldn't settle for minimal skills.

Actually, it compares quite well. Burger King could very easily raise it's wages, and it's prices. It would however, require them to make actual food rather than the mass produced shit they dish out currently.

Making fresh aioli requires no special skill, only a small amount of training and the ability to follow a recipe. My High School aged son could make it by the ton.

2 garlic cloves
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Tadaaa! Fresh made aioli.

You really need to stop making so much sense

Although similar, mayo doesn't normally contain garlic.
Even so, it takes no special skill to make either. Unless you count reading and following directions a special skill.

Have you ever been to a fast food restaurant? Many of them can't understand "no onions", let alone understand fractions.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Our resident "conservatives" support lower wages so the workers are eligible food stamps; thereby allowing the tax payer to subsidize their labor costs.
