If you think working fast food is an "easier job" then you must have never worked in the industry before. I see your point, but The small businesses usually have family and friends working for them and make out OK. I also think that it was in CA if I'm not mistaken. The wage should be on par with the price it takes to live in the area worked in. They have to afford housing and just basic life essentials.

One has to consider the person that works for fast may or may not have 1-5 kids or more. Maybe not. Maybe it would make other chain corporate restaurants pay more throughout the US. I feel like the 2.35 an hour thing for waiters is ludicrous. I have been in the bar/restaurant biz for 32 years and had to go back to school to get out of it. Got a nursing degree though.
I do think 12 an hour is OK and should be standard starting pay for that job.

Corporations raise the price simply because those fucking bastards will NEVER take less, EVER! It goes against everything capitalism stands for. It is a fuck all you guys I got mine now go get your own. It is my right as a corporation/greedy fuck to get as much as I possibly can.
ME:"But sir, you can still have the 30 billion for that."
THEM:"Fuck you, it is my right as a corporation to get 40 billion. 30 billion would bankrupt me!"

...and some people DO NOT want to progress academically at all. They may see it as BS and have no drive beyond simple minimum wage jobs. Some people see college as a waste of time/money. They are perfectly content with having minimal lifestyles. I saw this out in rural OK when I went to get my RN degree. The mothers of the girls I went to school with told me they were pressuring them into having kids before they are "too old" and before 25!!!
I met some people that thought Paris Texas was a "big city" compared to Broken Bow. It was frightening, enlightening, and sickening all at the same time. The people that live in what some would consider a poor neighborhood or in poverty is OK to them. Not all of them, but a lot of them want/like it that way. Places like Broken Bow will never change because the people that live there and own the land/businesses etc... keep it that way for themselves and their families.
I also heard from some people out there that the business/land owners will never sell to anyone that is not of their ilk (religious, doesn't want any chain restaurants, no progress beyond what is there). Some people just do not want any of the BS that cities provide. I personally think/know there is a happy medium for me.
