The mafia does that. They go into a store and demand money and if the owner doesn’t pay up they mess up the store.

Once upon a time the fast food industry employed high school students. Then the corporations decided to seek more permanent employees. Thus the importation of people less than legal and said good-bye to the former method of employing high school students. Fast Food has begun to reap what they themselves have sown.

I have a dream..... That someday all fast food will be served by robots... That's barely a dream anymore - it's starting to become an emerging reality. Especially as these idiots continue to price themselves out the labor market.

I’d like to go back a couple of decades. Life was simpler.

I’m thinking that these unhappy employees are likely to sabotage the food, a la Jesse Jackson. Guess I’ll eat at Chick-fil-a for a while.

Yes. Life, on God’s Planet, did enjoy a simpler time. Certainly wasn’t long enough. May that simpler time be once again and come in Centuries of Peace and may God be with us for what lays ahead if not may Centuries of Peace still come and be.

That’s OK, Chick-fil-A will probably see another major boost in sales. They already do several times more sales per store than any Wendy’s.

I tend to avoid places where I have had unpleasant experiences.
Wonder if this is part of plan.

P.S.
Just FYI...
A Chick-fil-A restaurant does about $3 million in sales per year, and a McDonald’s restaurant does about $2.6 million per year.

This is all planned agitation, so the Dems can run on the minimum wage issue.

Any idiot who thinks burger flipping is a middle class career job must have gotten a pubic education.
Oh wait, never mind.
