Minimum wage is plenty for a kid needing extra money in an entry level position. Minimum wage was never supposed to be a living wage for a family. It's movie and arcade money. It is the place to start.

Economics is not dictated by what the employee is "supposed" to use their wages for. Economics is dictated by a balance between wages and labor. If their is imbalance in this system, there will be an imbalance in the quqlity of service. All talk of "work ethics" aside, there must be fair wage for fair labor. Crappy wage=crappy labor, all bellyaching aside. There is no such thing as a work ethic simply for work ethics' sake.

If you want better service, be prepared to pay $6 for your Big Mac. If you are not willing to pay that, than you can forget about service with a smile, and tucked in shirts.

Who cares about that anyway? I'll take the cheap food and not worry about the quality of employees that their pay scale attracts.

I think a part-time minimum wage paycheck is still a lot of money to a kid. Trouble is that the ones willing to take the jobs now seem to be in their mid-twenties. Folk are supposed to want more from life by then... If they are there though... It is not the job's fault. McDonalds should maybe have stuck to teenagers and retirees...

I don't get bad service at McDonalds, really... I mean, of course I have, but it has not been the rule. And the ones that forget? - I smile so broadly at them that they smile just out of surprise!

No matter what flaws they may have, their product is a science. Their food is exactly the same no matter where you go. I can't get peanut butter and jelly to taste the same twice.

We used to have a joke among my friends, that when the world seems upside-down and nothing seems right, you can always go to McDonalds. It never changes :~D
