Chains like mcdonalds make thousands of dollars per hour even, you have to understand that when your clearing thousands of dollars in profit while the workers work as slaves for a company that can pay them so much more you should be asking for a pay increase,





just because a franchise takes a few grand to the bank each day it doesnt
mean that's their profits, the guy may only be seeing a few hundred in
profits. McDonalds isnt a chain, it's a franchise

what they take in is not profit, I havent worked at McDonalds but all the
McDonalds employees I knew were pretty happy with their job, I've been in
a McDonalds helping them close, the assistant manager was a friend and I
dated a chick that worked there.

so since you know all this why not tell is what their P/L statements read,
how much the franchise took in per day, the daily operating, food cost,
weekly and monthly expenditures. how much was payroll, how much did they
have to match in tax, medicare and social security, maybe while you're at
it you could give us the combination to the safe

My current job (making $6/hour more than McDonalds)  is an engineering job designing HVAC and plumbing for commercial buildings. It's is easier than McDonald's was.




I'm glad someone finally said this. People trivialize the work so frequently, seemingly without realizing how many people do relatively simple tasks while sitting in front of a computer everyday and making 2-3x as much. I used to do IT work for twice what I make now in the food industry. Luckily I'm in a small business, but doing food preparation is more difficult than the IT work I used to do. Moving around 50-100lbs regularly, making things from scratch by hand, and working in a fast paced and somewhat physically demanding job is far more challenging than a huge number of desk jobs, particularly relative to the fitness level of the average office worker. I realized how horrible a sedentary career was for my overall health though, so now I'm stuck in the crossroads of what to do with science/engineering education that's physically active.

This said, 15/hr seems crazy, but current national minimum wage, even without a family to support, can be barely livable in some situations even when working more than full time.

How does welfare decrease crime and pestilence?  It has seemed to have the opposite effect.

Yes, we know you disagree.  And the level of effort you put into your post speaks volumes

http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/14poverty.cfm

Poverty level is less than a full time minimum wage job

Family size 1 48 Contiguous states and D.C. $11,670  Alaska $14,580  Hawaii  $13,420

My entire life, from 14 on, I made it a goal to NEVER work for minimum wage.  TONS of my friends did and many are in pretty decent jobs nowadays.  There are a small few though, that seemed content playing with mcdonald's special sauce all day....I don't get it.  I refrain from mocking outloud.  My mom told me if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it.  I don't ALWAYS follow that, :lol: but try to.

I'm 30 and have seemed to have succeeded in not working a minimum wage job yet..

I was kicked out of my house, no handouts, no money...just me and my stubborn nature. :smirk:

Food insecurity is a real issue for many poor people in this country. I know when my mother was struggling to raise us, sometimes a sack of groceries from a friend was the only way she could put food on the table, and she sometimes didn't have enough for herself.

Yes really. Just because you haven't experienced it doesn't mean that there aren't people with problems accessing food.
