Nothing wrong with negotiations per se, but it would work far better if done in the RIGHT spirit and not in the WRONG one. There ought to be MORE sweetheart deals, in fact where EVERYBODY is a sweetheart... dig?
Most people I know got their first job at a fast food joint, where they were still under their parent’s health care. It was not a permanent venture as they went on to college or moved on to a better paying job. So, McDonalds could sell cheap food at a cheap price with cheap help. But, demanding 15 bucks an hour is just plain stupid. It would be like demanding a 2 dollar tip on every hamburg purchase.
