[Disillusioned]

Feel free to protest, unionize or do whatever, I'm not particularly impressed by the aptitude of the McDonald's workers in my city and feel that paying them minimum wage is still overcharging the company, but then, I'm old fashioned. I don't think companies owe you anything.

So you want burger flippers to make $20/hr?

 

[Auster]

Lol, how will McDees ever find highly skilled fry-lifters and burger flippers?

Did anyone say that?

Have you ever had a part time job?

 

[Auster]

I've had several at once, and a few full-time ones, why?

The inference is there, Fairy.

 

[Howey]

So you're a mindreader?

 

[Boris The Animal]

So you're a mindreader?

No, it's the typical Liberal mindset, Fairy. Everyone exactly equal with zero differences whatsoever.

Thanks for being truthful. You have no source for your claim and are merely lying.

 

[Billy the Great Khan]

Sure, raise the wages for burger flippers. Then I can sell McDonalds my automation idea and the likelyhood of a dumbass fry cook screwing up my food decreases exponentially.

Have you ever had a part time job?

Yup, mostly through college, was minimal wage menial work that a monkey could do. Probably the reason they accepted anyone whether experienced or not.

The thing about unskilled labor: They're easily replaced with a new employee in a market with 8% unemployment.

Duhhh!
Not too bright, these fast-food workers. It's like going all in with pocket deuces on the first hand of a tournament

 

[Granule]

Turn a fire hose on these assholes, and they'll disperse.

That might be true in an America 20 years ago, but we are living in a new world order

Like fuck they don't. They owe you a fair days wage for a fair days work in safe working conditions. Lassiez-faire capitilism has went the way of the communism and the DoDo bird. Get used to it.

Why not? Musicians make that much.

Easy.....they'll just call you.

Including you?
