McJobs

[Adam]

Caught a little news this morning. Bunch of fast food workers striking demanding the minimum wage be moved to $15.00/hr.

 

Sounds like a good plan

LOL

CNBC had a McD's worker on who was part of the strike.  He has been on the job for 6 months and at some point already went into his boss and asked for a raise.  

[Blarg]

I guess Jack is going to have to make it 2 Tacos for 1.99.

[mtangelsfan]

They do realize the restaurants themselves have no control over the minimum wage, right?

He went into his boss? If he didn't get the raise I'm guessing he didn't take any photos. Blackmail noob.

[arch stanton]

If they want to strike I would honor their picket line.

[Adam]

They may as well be chanting "ELIMINATE OUR JOBS!"

Or downgrade from grade D- to grade F meat.  Those tacos are terrible.  

 

I admit that $15 an hour is a bit of a stretch, but these people do have a legit gripe.  Under no circumstance, in the wealthiest country in the world, should anybody have to work full time to earn below the poverty line.

Working at a fast food restaurant should be a job, not a career.  Part of the journey, not the destination.  That is what is wrong with these strikers.  They are content with just being a fast food worker because they presumably have no other skills.  Sorry

ambitious enough to shoot for the raise, not ambitious enough to shoot past McDonald's

no, that's why they work at McDonald's

[Schildog]

that's the first time i've ever heard someone say jack n the box tacos are terrible.

Exactly.  These jobs are for high school kids, not grown-ups trying to support a family.

Exactly. What you guys said.

I always think people over 25ish that are behind the counter are managers or own the place.

[Adam]

I assume they raped somebody and went to prison

Funny you say that.

They also want the right to unionize.

Fleming's has the winepad. It is sweet!

[Brandon]

yeah, I guess it depends on the shirt they are wearing or if a tie is attached.

I always thought felonies were warehouse dudes or ups guys at their hubs (which by the way, isn't a bad gig. I had a buddy that did some kind of warehouse gig with ups and did pretty well to which when he got promoted had a pretty good career)

[Adam]

I think UPS is a good employer. I remember it being hard to land an entry level (4am-8am) warehouse gig with them.

I like Flemings ipad.

eventually, it would be cool if you could just sit down at a place and do everything from a tablet, like a virgin air flight.
