Thousands of minimum wage workers have been striking or planning on doing so because they demand higher wages than the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 (Some states slightly higher) in year of 2013.
Any company that pays less than $9 an hour for any type of job should be embarrassed (although paying $15 an hour for fast food cashier is also too much). Also I'm not saying that minimum wage should be considered a job that could support a family, but common let's not be selfish. All big companies and even most small ones' could for sure give slightly higher wages. Even if prices will be a dollar or two higher for items, it's not a big deal for most middle and higher class people.
Costco is the only retail company that pays its worker good wages, and offers great benefits including paid day off on major holidays while still selling low pricing products. This company has been mentioned everywhere including by President Obama recently. They also have great business hours closing earlier than other retail places = more family time and higher quality of life. GOD BLESS COSTCO!

If they put as much effort into their job as they do whining about their low pay, they would solve their own problems immediately.
With current unemployment levels, fire 'em all and have new workers in place by morning. I'd also suggest creating a blacklist of strikers and pass it around amongst all the fast food places so that they know who not to hire in the future.

Great idea, while at it why also not bring back slavery to hire people for free?
As long as the gov stays out I say good for them! $15 seems high when you consider they can't get your order right though.
HEY! It takes skills to press the correct picture on the register. If you order extra condiments, that should be overtime!
