“If they were paid more there would be competition for those jobs.”
You’d think that would be the case. But it’s not a very mentally engaging job and that doesn’t change because they throw you a extra buck or 2 per hour. Then you have to consider how much more you have to charge for “fast food” when your labor price structure goes up.
All true. Things won't change as long as people buy their food. The food is great...salt, sugar and fat, all the things that make food TASTE and taste GOOD.
No broccoli, spinach, collard greens, kale, Chinese cabbage, mustard greens, bok choi, etc., at the fast food places.
Those places are open to MAKE MONEY and they know the food they need to produce.
