Hard workers and those who live off their hard work.

[Koios]

Start your own restaurant.

Save your excess minimum wage earning and build up the $1 Million plus in liquid assets, in addition to the franchise fee and cost of building the structure that a McD's franchisee has to have.

Good ******* luck. (read: keeping people down and living hand to mouth and then saying they should VC their own enterprises, is not just woefully ignorant, it makes you a heartless ******* piece of shit.)

Try to be a better person. You might like yourself more. So there's that.

How about you do something to improve yourself to get away from that minimum wage job? Or work real hard and get noticed by management and maybe they will see your worth and train you up for something better.

Also, making others pay for your social programs using the guns of the government makes you a authoritarian lazy piece of shit, so there.

Had that epiphany at age 17, back in the day when moving from the dishwashing area and out into the dining room provided a nice living wage and plenty extra for refer and blow.

Of course, that was the 70s, when even the shit-pay washing dishes was double what the FMW is today, inflation-adjusted.

Happy days behind.

Because moving up from hamburger flipper to manager can be such a long arduous journey.....

All those brilliant minds in the way.............

You have the freedom to fail that goes hand in hand with the freedom to succeed

The freedom to succeed does not mean the freedom to become rich at the expense of others.

Expense of others?? Funny, it is the one earning a wage from the owners and investors that are the expense

What's really funny, are some people believing that the employee wages are a charity by the owner.

Pay for what you do and how you do it. You are NOT entitled to shit. Despite what your local welfare office tells you.

No.. it is a voluntarily negotiated contract for compensation for work given... and if you add minimal value, you get minimal compensation.. if your skill is as common as sand on a beach, you get minimal compensation... and that is the fault of the individual, not the employer

If they dont want to better themselves then yes.

I said "less talented and less lucky" -- should they live in misery?

I know what you said. Do i need to copy and paste for your ass? Do your shit for you?

I just wanted to check whether you are a ******* asshole.

How about you dont do drugs unless it is part of your disposable income?

Value gets rewarded, and if it doesnt, its time to move on....................

Nah; it's cake if you speak Spanish and English, and can thus manage the entire back end. You'll rocket to the title and different color shirt. The pay grade is little more, but even you can do it. Go for it.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Consider, the staff at the typical fast food restaurant work hard; the owner of the franchise and stock holders of the parent firm reap the benefits.

That is correct.

Thank you for playing.

The staff at a typical FF restaurant do not work hard..... The managers, yes. The floor people.. no, most are borderline braindead.

No shit... that certainly explains his twisted thought patterns.

Had that epiphany too, albeit by necessity. My dealers were none too trusting back in the day, and credit was not a popular tool for moving product.

Paid cash, every time. Ya happy?

There was no suggestion Franchise owners and stock holders don't take risks.

There was no suggestion that Franchise owners don't work hard, some do, some don't.

The thread was in response to the constant comments and threads by callous conservatives that the poor and working poor are morally corrupt, lazy and seeking government aid. Some are and some do, but many work more than one PT job earning minimum wage with no benefits.

Blaming those who may have made poor choices, or had no choices to make is what makes many of those who posted above callous individuals; the irony being many of those claim to be Christians.

One measure of whether a thread is spot on is by the response of those who have differing opinions. When the response is to attack me personally and not respond critically to the theme is gratifying.

The hardest worker in any restaurant is the owner.

What's really funny, are some people believing that the employee wages are a charity by the owner.

No.. it is a voluntarily negotiated contract

We've been there already. Everything you do, you do "voluntarily", including giving your wallet to an armed robber, or paying triple to a monopoly. It doesn't make it right, though.

When choice diminsihes, voluntary becomes a relative concept.

You could not be more wrong... that is probably the dumbest assertion I have ever heard

So the OP makes restaurant ownership sound so easy it's just not fair, then koios steps in to say its so hard to do its just not fair.

Verdict is in: "IT'S JUST NOT FAIIIRRRR!!!! :-("
