re: McDonald's workers on strike at South Carrollton Avenue...want $15/hr

These comments on this thread are awesome. I see a lot of the idiots from the echo chamber Chiming in. "Black people working fast food want raise! Stupid Childeren on Obama. MAGA is gonna fix this shite!"

If McDonald's gives raises to their employees this does not effect any of you what so ever. Honestly, a lot of you sounds jealous. What kinda jobs do You all have?

I feel very bad for them actually and I think their job is hard, but I also likes to keep it realz

One I was referencing is in Berryville, AR. But most all of them are similar. Clean, nice kids and adults. Varying ethnic groups, save one.

Yeah because McDonald's will give raises and every other restaurant worker in this country will be just be fine at $8/hr.

Then what next? Nurses go on strike because a dude that refuses to clean the fricking shake machine makes as much as them?

I've seen now hiring at Popeyes, Taco Bell, Winn Dixie, CVs, Walgreens, circle K, Sears, dicks, Walmart, just in the past month.

They don't want to work. Every where you go is hiring.

It's a common misconception that just anyone can walk into a place like the ones above and get a job

Like "hey that guy is homeless, he can go go work at McDonald's!"

The consumer and places like Chik Fila are finally putting pressure on businesses to take a hard look at their customer service and image. So any place worth there salt isn't going out and hiring any schlub, in theory

How do you attract a better employee at McDonald's or Popeyes? Pay em more? Gives them more responsibility and if they don't perform, you get rid of them until you find someone who will at that price. How else do you change the landscape of crappy fast food and minimum wage workers?

These workers are fools. They'd be better off spending this time learning an actual trade.

They'll be back on the streets selling drugs in no time

The best way to get $15 per hour to do a job is to show you can do it for less to the tee

You get paid more people want more but they at least want to know you'll actually do the job. And anyone who has been to a McDonald's or fast food joint in Orleans parish knows they're not very good at their job now, so why would anyone pay them more to motivate them

While they're on strike I bet the franchise owner and a couple of his or her kids can go in there and have that place running smoothly within 10 minutes or so.

There are certain jobs that are stepping stones to better places in life, not destinations.

People are gonna bitch about bad service and they will bitch if they get raises So what's the solution?

The solution is to pay them what they're worth.

If they prove themselves, they get higher wages than the deadbeat. If they're good at their McD's job, pay them appropriately. If they're shitty, pay them what they're worth. It doesn't take long for word to get around that places pay well if you put in a modicum of effort.
