Ok....I respect a person who wants to better themselves and make more money, but come on....Fast Food Workers Striking?

While i agree some conditions are not the best that some of these people work in, but just demanding more money and striking on days they should be working?

I know a ton of Unemployed or underemployed people who would love to have work right now. If i was one of them, I would walk right in, turn and point at a striker, and ask for their job!

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING BETTER PAYING, GO GET IT.....DONT DEMAND IT!

    Anyone who's upset because he can't get his Big Mac because the people who make it actually want a fair wage is a tool.

    Don't know if this is true but honestly the **** fast food workers have to go through sometimes I wouldn't be surprised if they went on strike.

    Anyone who thinks minimum wage is not MORE than a fair wage for making a big mac is a few fries short of a happy meal themselves.

    This. Cooking a Big Mac is not worth $10-15 an hour.

    This is a true thing going on today. Local and national media are touting this as a nationwide event.

    Im just sad to say that we live in such an entitlement nation.

    As long as Subway doesnt go on strike....the rest can suffer!

    Every job worked at full time hours should pay a living wage.

    Working fast food should be a stepping stone to getting a better job... not a career position. :bigsmile:

    Yeah, who cares that a trained monkey can do the job and you have NO marketable skills whatsoever. You should make more money because you breath, damnit! [/sarcasm]

    God, the entitlement some people feel is sickening. If you want to make more money, make yourself more valuable. If you are stuck earning minimum wage, news flash: YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING NOTHING WORTH MORE THAN THAT!

    I have to wonder with this one (bc honestly have no idea)

    What the impact of getting their desired raise would be for the ones (I imagine a good amount) that receive government benefits?

    Also, might make for a very sad tax refund season for most all of them.

    Its not like we are talking about the old $5.25 per hour job wage here....i think most MC jobs start at $8.00 per hour....Yeah thats enough. These are first time jobs....for some they are just launch pads while going to school or just starting in the work force. If they want more pay, do something that not many can do. Anyone can flip a burger! If you cant do more than that...well then your lifestyle needs to reflect that income. Too many are trying to live above themselves IMHO.

    So if everyone finds a better job that's not fast food, who's going to supply me with McChickens?

    I would agree, if the cost of living wasn't in such a discrepancy with the minimum wage.

    When I say a living wage, I mean a wage that puts a roof over your head and food in your belly. I'm not talking about phone and tv subscriptions, internet access, iphones, cars etc.
