I never understood the enthusiasm for Starbuck's over-priced bitter swill. I'd rather drink Army coffee, even the C-Ration powdered gunk.

They aren’t strikers or grass roots protesters they are passive labor paid $9 an hour by the UFCW Local to do these protests. They are Obama Agitators and the HNIC is the guy with the $1,500 cuff links and the bull horn.
They want to unionize fast food workers because they have destroyed every other business in the country and you can’t offshore restaurant workers.
But you can eliminate them and automate a vast majority of their positions.
Fast food workers should be young. The fact that these people need to work fast food is a reflection on the poor economy, not the pay level of unskilled work.
So for those of us who won’t go and pay for the overpriced burgers at MacD’s does that make us racists too? You can dang bet for sure that with increasing prices the amount of food and quality wont rise along with it. They can demand $15/hr but they cant demand increasing customers. It no worky like dat.
Exactly!
White privilege much?
N O is a word that they should learn to understand. I was in Europe a few months ago and a fast-food that we went to was pretty much fully automated...I did see humans, but basically our order was handled by “robots”...they may cost a lot, but they don’t get $15.00 per hour to hand you a sandwich.
idjits hastening their own obsolescence.
The day is not far off when fast food places have two employees per shift, mostly for logistics and janitorial: one to load the raw ingredients from the supply trucks into the mini-food-factory and one to take out the trash and keep the place clean.
If you’ve ever watched the TV show “Food Factory”, you can see it’s feasible to automate an entire fast food restaurant. It’s just a matter of economics now, namely, when it will be cheaper and less trouble to mass produce and install fast food restaurant mini-food-factories vs. dealing with the increasing headaches of the increasingly expensive complement of unskilled fast food restaurant labor.
Mandated minimum-wages that are gross distortions of the local labor market merely accelerate the day when unskilled fast-food labor prices itself into complete obsolescence.
Soros paid protesters whether they are paid by him directly or indirectly...
And I’m the guy who will end up, at some point in my life, designing and installing said machines!
Fast food is already too expensive.
Better to just make it at home, tastes better too
I get the 20 McNuggets for $5, but not very often.
Does #16 ring a bell?
I ate MDs and Burger King in college , then gave it up to lose weight and keep it off
In the 1990s during the burger wars I started eating their food again when they had those regular specials $2.50 sandwiches for only a $1.
They almost bankrupted each other,
BK still has several of their larger sandwiches at 2 for $5, but luckily the only close one is out of the way for me. There is a McDonald’s in the Wal-Mart we shop at most often, but I try to abstain.
McDonalds has really good coffee,
I always hated Starbucks and headed for McDs.

Absolutely
I love good tasting plain black coffee and that is where Starbucks sucks, its overpriced and bitter.
Well made coffee has a natural sweet taste and McDonalds is one of the best at that.
And all of the store owners who were victims of this “work protest” should call a press conference and announce that as many of their burger flipper jobs as possible are being totally automated. Surplus employees will be given two weeks’ pay and a free beverage of choice to see them on their way.
Some airline pilots are paid less than that.
