Not to worry. The politicians have assured us that these low wage jobs aren’t jobs that Americans want.

Maybe they should learn to make change first before they ask for a raise.......

We are witnessing the death of fast food.
A value meal already costs 8.00. I can get a 1/2lb of pulled pork and a 1/2lb of burnt ends from Arthur Bryant’s for 10.00.

They’re not union. Any self respecting fast food joint owner or manager should simply put out the help wanted sign and replace anyone who walks out. They might get a better class of employee in return.

OMG! A full day without barfing at McD’s?!
How soon can they quit working?
To: SeekAndFind
Well I guess if the help won’t be working but striking instead people will just have to refrain from spending money.
