What if every fast food worker went on strike for a week? (illegal, illegals)

[Kenneth-Kaunda]

Places like MacD and BK must surely have had their day in the sun I reckon, I mean I only ever visit those places to have a free ****, and no, I don't mean grabbing a burger whilst the cashier in not looking, lol

Who cares? How often do you eat fast food? That stuff is crap.

fThere would be two results

A. a lot of newly-unemployed

B. A lot of newly hired


Employees.

trouble is with the macd type joint, is the addiction.

That is their lure, similar to a cigarette.

Health warnings should be posted in the windows of these filth factories.

I'd go to the local deli in my grocery store, or the local gas station and get a sub, sandwich or whatever. And if those were closed, I'd go to a sit down restaurant, or bag my own lunch.

how about close these places down then send the workers to home grown factories, rather than outsourcing to Bangladesh and China?

but that would just make too much sense

Yes, that's right, there are so many jobs available, they can't find enough people to fill them? You truly haven't a clue do you?

Well, obviously they cannot, otherwise they would do so.

They haven't tried, probably because most monkey's have a hard time remembering to ask, "Would you like fries with that burger?".

So explain again how working at MacDs is not the 'real world' - do you mean it's like some kind of dream sequence or something?

Real world meaning, a lot of things. Constant learning and improving your skillset so that you can earn more. Being able to work at a place that has salaries and benefits that allow you to raise a family. the comment about moving up to the real world, deals with a time in your life where what you do has MAJOR consequences. When you are 16 working for macdonalds, making a mistake doesn't normally have the same impact as when you are 35, supporting a family, and your decisions and or mistakes impact more than just yourself.

When I was 16, a job meant spending money, it wasn't a matter of survival.

Actually, I think America would lose a few pounds.

Many of those employees will be history in the near future anyways. FF joints are already test running self serve kiosks.
You can order, and pay for your food like substance without ever talking to a person.

A strike wouldn't bother me in any way. I only do FF maybe once or twice a month.

FF employees have zero leverage for a "strike". Virtualy anyone can replace them with minimal instruction, and many would be glad to have the work. It is unskilled labor. Even if a guy with a PhD in Astro-Physics is working there, the work he is doing is un-skilled labor and will pay accordingly.
