Or the "Metric Leisure Week"....

Now that you mention it, the "Metric Leisure Week" is a definite possibility! Of course, it could just be based on too much "Miller Time"...

I have learned in six decades of living that the ARE stupid people who are incapable of doing more than simple service jobs. There are also people who take the same jobs...and move up or on, depending how much intelligence, drive, and skill they have. Then, you have "organizers" who make money by virtue-signaling their way along, and banging the "$15-an-hour" drum. And let me tell you, I LOVE walking into a McDonalds, keying my order into a kiosk, putting my order in front of all the sheep in line and stuck in the drive through, and being gone with the wind. FORCING business to pay overpriced labor means "Oh LOOK! Eliminate human jobs!"

I don’t know what all McDonalds pay but I saw one from the road yesterday down in Parker, Colorado advertising for help and the starting wage was $13 an hour.

Omar needs to share his alcohol, he’s obviously drinking more than his share.

At 40 hours a day, they are probably putting in about 468 hours a week, all 83 weeks a year. So, at 39,000 hours a year...

What do these employees do the other 6 days of the week?
Work overtime?
Side hustle?
Sleep?
Binge on speed?

$134 a week?

$3.35 an hour?

McDonald’s is allowed to pay below minimum wage?

I know that some restaurants are permitted to pay waiters and waitresses below minimum wage because of tips. Who tips at McDonald’s? Those are some cheap customers looking to buy a meal for $0.99.

At least they don’t work on planet Venus, where the (solar) day is 2,802 hours long.
