GOVT SLAVES ^ | 8/11/15 | Jonathan Maze

[Republican Wildcat]

Now who could have seen this coming?

The true minimum wage is $0.00

Why does fast food look so bad? Because the “burger” on the left isn’t a burger, it’s an inedible model made of plastics, toxins, and other BS used to make what it represents, the “burger” on the right, look desirable.

The ones that really suffer in this nonsense are retired people on FIXED incomes.

[mylife]

No waffle houses effected?

[showme_the_Glory]

Olive Garden in Mesquite has them too.

[egfowler3]

Applebee’s as them as well here in the Kansas City metro.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Yes it does. But the steps required to get it to looking good and fresh made are not that many. This is just the ground work.

[mylife]

Me does not want, but I get your point.

Can I get a real burger on a Kaiser roll instead of some fast food slop? at $20 the hour?

[Personal Responsibility]

Liberalism explained

“I don’t care if it makes no sense, I want it.”

[Noumenon]

The Japanese have been doing this for years.

[mylife]

I make mine myself.

[Boogieman]

But the chili just won’t taste the same with out that floor-burger zestiness!

[acapesket]

There ya go!
Don’t eat this crap…period.

[GreyFriar]

Of course not, they are holy places for waffles, cheesie eggs and cheesie potatoes, with a side of bacon!

[TYVets]

Automation will replace: haveniceday ?

A big improvement.

Here is how traditional America works.

You give value for money and you take pride in your work.

You pay the employe who gives a darn a decent wage and you fire the jackass that sniffed all the nitrous oxide out of the whipped cream, and did not give a ****.

It’s a proven recipe for success and all this crap about robots is crap because is garbage in garbage out.

It is only as good as the manager and his staff.

Corporate squeze a nickle without understanding the floor, and we forget what we all know.

Garbage in, garbage out.

[stylin19a]

what's old is new again.

“There is a war on talent,”

Like showing up for work, actually working instead of sexting/texting, etc. .... in short supply and in high demand.
Remember, those were always supposed to be beginner part-time jobs for kids/students with Moms & old timers pulling the day shifts for extra income.

[VerySadAmerican]

They’ll pass a law “taxing” Wendy’s and others who use kiosks to make sure their prices are in line with those paying $15 an hour.

And Bert’s Chili LOL

Classic American Greasy spoon.
