That's how it is in seatac. I think skilled workers should scale with the change. But all its doing is speeding up inflation.

I'm not belittling the workers I'm belittling the job itself. I just don't see how anyone deserves 15 per hour to serve hot n' fresh cancer

I'm pretty sure that when people drop that basket of fries they're supposed to hit the timer, if the timer beeps at 5 minutes then the timer beeps but I'm also pretty sure that the timer doesnt automatically remove the fries and that it doesnt slap people's hands for trying to pull them early during a rush, I doubt they have sensors to detect if a burger has already had ketchup or sauce added already... feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

Belittling the workers labor and labeling them as undeserving of a fair wage is just another shill tactic to divide people with bullshit partisan politics.
If a small business cant afford to pay the employees enough to live in this country they should close down shop because their business is an absolute failure.
Unfortunately, when there's an excess pool of labor, wages fall. Some small businesses operate on very small margins today and wages are a huge part of their operating cost, higher wages (in some cases) mean they go out of business.
The US economy has been structurally damaged the last 30 years from outsourcing jobs out of the country, this has a huge impact on everything, small businesses don't have the growth and prosperity they once had, the old US economy is long gone.

I'm all for raising minimum wage, I think we should raise it to $100/hr because that would make more people wealthy and eliminate poverty in the US

you half touched on something, the excess labor, we've outsources jobs and imported labor, we wouldnt have to have a discussion about raising minimum wage had the wage standard not been kept back due to illegals flooding in

what about the huge business like the banking industry? they werent simply allowed to go out of business, government is dumping hundreds of billions into private industry every year, that's certainly not a suitable business model when there's no real return, Solyndra took $500mil and went bankrupt, obama stepped in and took possession of their records before the FBI could examine them and they're just one of thousands of businesses with a failing business model that are sucking the welfare tit
maybe the real problem is government's intervention in business, for government to give a few trillion to banks, car makers, green energy, research projects, etc... the money has to come from somewhere, do you think that maybe the corporate taxes are too high for mom and pop to compete when even the big businesses are getting handouts from government in order to 'compete'

yeah, because south park is the answer to everything
in 1986 the average wage for a construction laborer was $8/hr, skilled workers started at around $16/hr, minimum wage was $3.35/hr. thanks to the 27 million illegals in this country willing to work for anything, living 2 and 3 families per apartment, we now see that construction labor starts at $8/hr, skilled workers are starting at $12/hr. who do you think is responsible for this stagnation in wages?
this is life experience buckwheat, not southpark political commentary

Pris it's pretty much idiot proof so yeah you are wrong, not saying the employees are geniuses but yeah the fries and nuggets and fish actually raise themselves out of the fryer and as far as the condiments go the dosage is set by the corporation.This is not the Jetsons where you get a recipe suited to your particular taste.

I found it a bit of a challenge to fit a stove, sink and fridge into the car and while there's no law specifically against cooking while driving in georgia I'm sure that the cops would see it as similar to texting and cite me for something anyway

And back in the day, im sure people said "I just don't see how anyone deserves 25 cents per hour to blah di blah" 15 is just a number.
Compared to inflation, wages have been steadily going down for years and years. [Yet somehow profits and CEO wages have gone up, but oh no, the business simply can't handle paying their workers more...] No one is arguing that minimum wage jobs are so difficult that the workers deserve a raise, just that wages ought to match the increase in the cost of living. A person who works full time ought to be able to afford rent AND food.
