Things are different now than when I was younger. When I couldn't even get a job at McDonalds. Now there are help wanted signs for McJobs everywhere. Most probably aren't full time. So many people have to work more than one job to get by. And not only are they minimum wage, but have few if any benefits. But according to the trumptards, people not working are just lazy and looking for a free handout.
I'll tell ya' what, many of those who minimum wage jobs shouldn't even have those.
I rarely eat fast food but, yesterday, I hit the Burger King drive-thru; double Whopper with cheese (no tomato, thankyouverymuch), a chocolate shake and an order of onion rings. Nothing too challenging.
So the girl brings my shake to the window, then asks me to pull ahead because they're making my burger.
So, I pull around and about a minute or two later another girl brings my order out to the car. Not being in a rush to go anywhere, I pulled out of the parking lot and drove down to a local park. I figured I'd kick back and eat my lunch there. Well, when I unwrap the burger, I find nothing remotely similar to what I ordered. This was a single patty burger with bacon, no cheese and no onions.
No bueno.
So, I wrap the burger up, drive back to Burger King, and hit the drive through, heading straight to the window. When I told the woman the burger wasn't what I ordered, she unwrapped and and actually insisted it was what I ordered (I think it was called a Stacker King). When I asked when they started putting bacon on double Whoppers as a matter of course, she got this stupid look on her face and said "Oh... um, hold on."
She then came back and asked me to pull forward because they were making my burger. Thankfully they got it right, but as long as monumental **** ups like this happen, people can suck on their minimum wage paychecks for all I fuckin' care. Had I been someone who was traveling, and had discovered the **** up after hitting the interstate, I'd have been major league pissed off. Had I been someone who couldn't eat pork, say a Muslim or a devout Jew, it'd be even worse.
People working "McJobs" don't deserve $15 minimum wage. They don't deserve $10 minimum wage. If I were to look at the last 10 times I've visited a fast food restaurant, I would bet that six or seven of those orders have been fucked up.
So, why should those idiots get paid more?
[quoteI have a message for all those fools out there who may have a good job. There isn't anything you do that somebody from another country wouldn't gladly do. For less pay. And if given the chance would do so.
