A thought provoking post. Thank you for the different angle.

Whats funny? Obviously we have different opinions, as do others in the thread.

Interpretations. Go Cowboys!

Has anyone directly said "fast food workers are lazy?" It's hard to call anyone in any industry lazy without actually being by their side to witness it. Would anyone deny that working FF sucks really hard?

Not entirely, If minimum wage were raised to $15/hr then the average pay for an officer in my area, $18/hr, would hardly be worth the inherent dangers of such work. oh, LOL..

Thank you for that, I honestly thought it would be much less.

Anyone know how much the average salary is for a police officer? srs question.

Your job only comes down to life and death...no biggie.

No...you're an elitist! I really don't understand the thinking behind all of this. I'm in a similar boat. I hope to be making $15/hr within the next year. I worked for minimum wage since 2003, graduated HS, went to community college to study electronics then biomedical equipment, graduated from both programs, both of which…

Yes Yes and Yes. I have worked for minimum wage since 2003, until my big break, a year ago this week, when 5 months after graduation and was very fortunate to find a job in my field. I always knew what was expected of me at the minimum wage jobs as well as how much I was going to be compensated. I found it odd that…

I see, they have to be working. I thought it was meant that they were just on the clock. I have seen plenty of internet use while on the clock in various settings ie. FF, grocery, retail etc. LOL.

As far as responsibilities are concerned...yes, the hot sweaty grease pit would be much easier. Accreditation of the organization could possibly land on me at some point. Also, since when is a fast food employee without internet?

Here Here :drinker:

I can't wait til minimum wage hits the $13-14 mark here in NC. I will surely quit my job working on medical equipment to go mindlessly flip burgers and deep fry taters! Look out unskilled laborers, us semi skilled folks will be taking your $15 hr in no time flat. What do you want after that?

Do you even log your calorie intake?

vikneshvaran1 - Hello, it truly makes me cringe to hear about your experience. I had the cyst come back twice for a total of 3 operations. Nearly lost my job over it, was even ridiculed about it by class mates (high school at the time) and given a hard time by my supervisor. I have not had any other issues in the last 11…

Me too... On a similar note, I also get sadz when I look at how many calories I could have been eating to lose weight vs how many I actually did eat to lose weight. I wish I had taken the advice of long time members here and found my TDEE early on and adjusted intake from there.

Can boys get in on this too?

Actually according to Webster's dictionary a calorie... CALORIE 2 b : an amount of food having an energy-producing value of one large calorie really is just that...a calorie. CALORIE 2 b : an amount of food having an energy-producing value of one large calorie

OP, I have run into this on occasion, the old cal in vs cal out argument. It is unfortunate people discredit those who don't look the part... Just like when someone snickers about me starting with an empty barbell while doing a linear progression strength training program, I just think, the day will come when the results…
