That uneducated dolt might also be working on your car or counting your pills as a pharmacy tech among other things.
Is there such a thing as pharmacy tech? It's my understanding that only trained pharmacists can work behind the counter, and they all make 100K+. Pretty much the easiest steady job in civilized society that earns you that much
Visit well-run Dunkin Donuts stores in busy neighborhoods like Forest Hills and Jackson Heights in the morning. Notice that there is typically only one person manning food preparation (ie, cutting bread, heating food, etc.) for their breakfast meals. Automation and better processes cut down the number of people needed to work in stores. That is the future of FF workers demanding $15/hr.

Those people are usually family members. Lots of immigrants, especially Indian, will work 3 jobs for years to save enough to buy a Dunkin Donuts franchise and then staff the place with their wife, kids, brothers/sisters etc... The workers have a vested interest in the success of the franchise, so they are necessarily of much higher quality even at low wages. You won't find that sort of thing at a McDonalds or Taco Bell
If wages were too low then FF joints wouldn't be able to staff their restaurants. As it turns out, they get dozens of applications every day at that wage. The fact is that these are no skill positions (can you move your hands and move around, and do you understand english? - you're hired!). People shouldn't be trying to live off these jobs, they are meant to be for students or for adults as a stepping stone to better jobs. If you're still taking orders at Burger King after 8 years, there's something wrong with you. Pick up a book or something, gain some skills, open a side business, do something instead of complain that you don't get paid enough to flip burgers all day

HA! These workers must've eaten too much of the garbage that they serve and had one too many "burgers" pumped with God knows what. $15 dollars to provide "food" that's not even for human consumption? And who can forget the attitude that you get in these places.
Oh stop with the "food not fit for human consumption". Admit it....you have eaten more than your share of fast food.
Come on...tell us while you were in high school, you said to your friends...NO, Im not eating at McDonalds, Id rather go get some tofu.
We all have until we learned about the garbage that they put in these things. Better off making a burger and fries at home where you can feel confident that the "burger" you're eating is really a burger and the french fries are actually made of potatoes.
Oh please again with the drama.....if I plopped a nice Big Mac and Fries in front of you...you'd gobble those down so fast.
I don't eat fast food. I cook at home like normal people do. We go out to eat at the occasional restaurant but other than that everything is prepared at home, this way we can ensure that we're eating real food and not some chemically ladened garbage. For every person eating tons of Big Mac's I can find 4 obese people suffering from the likes of places like McDonalds.
The last thing we need to be doing is encouraging people to make a career at these low quality places.
If it means that everyone, at every job, regardless of age, has good pay, benefits, vacation, sick days...the answer is obviously YES..we all win. Who would be against that? You do realize that people eagerly pay that and more already for coffee and there is no societal benefit.
I agree.
But people here will continue to line up in opposition.
