People should cook for themselves at home more often. You get better quality, cheaper, and a quiet private place where your family can bond. You will be healthier, wealthier, with closer family relationships.

Why would a business waste money on drug testing low-level positions with high turnover anymore? I know grocery store managers who will flat out tell you that if they had to drug test they'd lose 80% of their staff.
Corporations are worried about the wrong shite. Stop putting up all these barriers to employment for a shitty grocery store/fast food job that pays shite and act like you're doing people a favor by letting them drop frozen fries into a hot fryer and dealing with a-hole #346 of the day in the drive thru. Pissing on my head and telling me it's raining. Got me fricked up.

Almost all fast food joints here in Orlando are offering around $15 hr to match the parks. Not enough people to go around still.

quote:What’s pathetic is that it’s a part time wage, meaning that you can only work, what, 32 hours per week? So, they’re looking at earning a whopping $288 bucks for 4 full days of work, with no benefits, no vacation, nothing.
That’s pathetic
I get that it’s an entry level job, but I’m not sure I’d send my high school age son out to work 4 hours after school each day, then 12 hours over the weekend at that rate. I mean 4 hours would be basically the max during school, and he’d be bringing home a whopping $36/day. If that’s anywhere near a close call for us (solidly blue collar family with his old man who worked at the feed store for $3.50/hr), then who is gonna do that job except someone making a career in fast food?
And if they’re making a career at $288/week, then they are getting subsidized by government money, Medicare or whatever. That’s the real travesty: I’m subsidizing Popeye’s workforce, and I still have to pull forward for da spicy.

What fully functioning grown adult is getting a starting position at a fast food restaurant?

Know how I know you've never actually been inside a fast food restaurant?
I've had men and women twice my age take my order and hand me my meal. You say "starting position" like you're stuck in the 1950's. There are adults that work these jobs, and lack of education or opportunity doesn't make them any less functional an adult than you.
I'm conservative as frick, but the disdain elitists such as yourself have for retail workers is laughable and out of touch. Comical, really. You think you know something about the world when in reality, you don't know shite because you only know about the world from your ivory tower.

You said fully functional.

Never said it does.

Oh frick off. Don't give me that elitist bullshite. Starting positions at fast food restaurants are for kids. And if your mental capacity is that of a kid then you better get some roommates.
You think the adults at these fast food places are the ones making minimum wage?

I did, and you've provided nothing to indicate that adults who work at these positions are NOT fully functional. You made the claim in order to disagree with me and maintain your holier-than-thou stance on people with lesser skilled jobs than you, so prove it. I provided you with a link that clearly lays out for you that the average age of a fast food employee is TWENTY SEVEN YEARS OLD.
Working at a fast food joint doesn't make anyone less functional.

So what does? Be consistent in your claims. If working at a fast food chain as an adult = not fully functional as an adult, then what about them working there makes them "not fully functional?"

Oh frick off.
Don't think I will. Get mad about it.

Whoa, I never said anything about minimum wage. Quit moving the goal posts and conflating things just so you can have some semblance of a logical argument.
Pull up to a Popeye's at 2PM and let me know how old the person who helps you looks. Bet it's not anything that would meet the definition of a "kid" and the ADULT who helps you is very likely making less than $10 an hour.

Not if they're dependable and half assed at their job.

Figure there's a store manager and a shift manager available in a store at any given time. Those are the only 2 that likely make over $10. The data says that the average worker in the back preparing your food, taking your order, and giving you your food is making less than $10.

Those still aren't your functioning adults. And if they are they are in their 20's and have roommates and will work their way up.
There are plenty of jobs out there that pay over $10 an hour with benefits for those willing to work. Hell, those are available for those that want to half arse it too.

The average fast food worker is 27 years old. If they wake up, go to a job, and do that job, they are a functioning adult. Your personal opinion on their quality or difficulty of work doesn't make them any less functional.

Pie-in-the-sky, perfect world utopias maybe. But in the real world, a ton of people in their mid-late 20's don't have roommates and likely have a kid or two or three. As stated in my second post in this thread:
