They can always start their own business and pay themselves what they think they are worth.

Fast food work is an entry-level job folks. The pay is not meant to support a family...just like sweeping floors at Walmart isn’t.

I worked a factory job in the early 90s. It wasn’t much money, but it was OK for the time. My duties were extensive and took some knowledge which I gained through experience.

I asked for a 50 cent/hr raise after 2 years. They only gave me a quarter. I got a better paying job and quit which is exactly what these people who don’t like their current pay should attempt to do. No one is forcing them to stay at this job.

Hey Pam, try looking for a better paying job or try to work hard enough to be considered for a KFC manager position. I love these people. They deserve a better wage because well, they just do. Don’t work harder to get ahead, just ask for more money. Typical democrat mentality. We are so screwed as a nation.

Yo Pammy, let me ax you a kestion... you be having some skills, yo, so lemme ax you this....

Why you not find a better job?

Why you not put your fat trunk on the market?

You think your worth more than $9 an hour? Then prove it.

Start your own bitness and pay yourself what you worth, girl.

Pamela Waldron doesn't seem to understand this yet, but her entire job depends on people choosing not to take an extra five minutes to pack a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. If ObamaCare raises employee costs which get passed to the consumer, or if they strike for higher minimum wages, or whatever new regulation comes around, customers won't just pay the higher price automatically. They will substitute.

The result would be that the high end restaurants would still exist, but the fast food industry would be gutted, and only vending machines would be profitable.

time for this one to load her can into the studebaker and head on up over to Bakken land where they’re payin mac flippers way more than they’re worth....

‘There’s a boom going on in North Dakota and jobs are plentiful. The “old fashioned oil boom” is called the largest in North America in the last 40 years, according to USA TODAY. If you are looking to make $15.00 per hour as a starting position, you will have to get your bags packed and head for Williston, North Dakota’

The 26-year old nursing student, and mother of two, says she has asked for a raise but her pleas have gone unheeded for weeks.

I almost want them to get a Union, then let her go beg for a raise/promption.

Lib: Mr. Manager, I have worked here for X years and have been stepping up, can I get a promotion?

Manger: Sorry, Steve has been employed here longer and has seniority, he get's the promoting next.

Lib: But Steve is late every day and hardly does any work.

Manager: Well, now that we have the union, that is out of my control. The Union say Steve is next based on seniority.

Lib: Well, can I get a raise than?

Manager: no. According to the Union contract, you will get a 10 cent raise next year.

The Age Of Obama.
GIMME GIMME GIMME. It’s owed to me! I want, I want, I want!

Fast food work is entry level. Doesn,t matter who you are or where you are at. If you want more money find a better job. There are only so many dollars to go around in fast food

honestly I’ve never understood why people stay working in fast food. Anytime I’ve gone to a busy fastfood restaurant I have to marvel at the efficiency of the machine. The worst service I’ve gotten has been at slow restaurants. I would think after two years working fast food... there would be any amount of jobs she could do in a fast paced environment. AS a former employer... I happily hired people who had fast food experience.

Wonderful!
Let their main clientele, those making minimum wage or on welfare, pay their way through school. It must be nice to actually believe minimum skills people are entitled to determine what their work is worth. Good luck with that.

Find a higher paying job commensurate with your skills, and stop whining.

I’m working on a theory of “mass retirement” for those who can afford it. Lay everyone off. Downsize our lives and starve the Socialist beast. Will people suffer? Mostly Obamabots or people who say “voteing is useless”.

If this was some where else I might agree with you. The volume of business is enormous. I read once people who owned a 24 hour pizza shop in Penn station made 20 million dollars a year. Since it is in the most expensive place to live in the world. The cost of transportation for workers is outrageous. Everything in NY city is nuts. I lived there. Just imagine how many times more money than an average Burger King or McDonalds in a city of 15 million. If these fast food places want quality workers they should give them a raise. IMHO.

NYC: 30 years ago I worked as a waitress there and GUESS what they were allowed to pay me, because I could earn tips?
$1 an hour or $40 a week. My rent was $300 a month!

Think how different it must be now and wonder how much this person’s tips might be. Also, how did she manage to pay her rent all these years on this type of pay?
