    That's crazy. I make more than my boyfriend and while my job is mentally tasking, he's locked in a room with inmates all day babysitting them. He should be making a heck of a lot more than what he is. I think if there is a risk of loss of life or injury maybe they should be making hella more than $15 an hour - especially if that's what fast food workers end up getting.

    Why oh why did I actually click on this thread!?!?!?! Sorry but this is a rant.

    The amount of derogatory comments about service employees is disgusting. I never worked at a McDonald's or any other fast food place, however I did work at several restaurants, including one I owned. What they say is true, everyone should work at a restaurant at some point in their life. A few things I've seen mentioned...minimum wage. Before you criticize the desire of restaurant employees to earn $15/hr do a bit of research on minimum wage.

    "The minimum wage was designed to create a MINIMUM standard of living to protect the health and well-being of employees. Others have argued that the primary purpose was to aid the lowest paid of the nation's working population, those who lacked sufficient bargaining power to secure for themselves a minimum subsistence wage." Minimum wage was meant to ensure that big, greedy companies, like McDonald's, paid their employees enough to survive. Why? Because it will always be in their nature to try to undercut the little guy.

    Here's a great tool to show you if people in your state can live on minimum wage http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/02/09/opinion/minimum-wage.html?_r=0 .

    I used mine (MD $7.25/hr) and even with my expenses which I try to keep really low, to the point of living in a crap area, I'd be $22,364 in debt per year OR I'd have to work 60 more hours a week at a second job.

    It's even worse for people who work for tips. Do you ever wonder why Europeans don't always tip, or don't get why we tip? Because they pay their servers a full wage. Waiters/waitresses make $2.13/hr. That's abysmal. As a nation we should be embarrassed that we even have wages that low. Sure they make tips, but you don't always get to keep what you earn. Some places pool tips, so you take less than you worked for. Some places make you share your tips with the kitchen staff. Others, take your tips, then pay you "a higher wage" which is still less than you'd make.

    I would keep going, but I'd take up a whole page. *end rant*

    Really??? Way to derail a thread. That topic was so last week. This one is about pie.

    Too late.

    Tell us more about how not getting an education is a bad idea.

    Oh, look at the time! BRB.
    And this is all it takes to get PMs?

    Sounds like some people had PMS before they clicked on this thread.

    How can a thread titled "free pie" go so horribly horribly wrong?




    I want my pie. Actually, I want *two* pies. I want steak pie and chips, and then blackberry and apple pie with custard (must be with wild blackberries because they taste the best)

    Only if they screw up your order.

    So the trick then is to get them to screw up your order? Maybe I should order a burger without a bun.
