Remind me again why someone deserves 15$ an hour for dealing with basic human interaction and heating up food?

You talk like social interaction is easy while you are on Yea Forums... Top kek
You sound poor
Because they have to deal with autists like you
/thread
because op is a fag
They don't, but those kinds of jobs shouldn't be full time jobs; they should be basic entry level jobs that you actually want to get out of.
On the other hand though, someone working full time deserves a living wage without living in squalor or on government assistance.

thanks mcdonalds
this
because they also have to clean the fucking place like they're janitors or something, you sound like someone who has never worked one of these jobs
not a worker btw, im an inspector who makes $20 an hour, and these people deserve far better than they get, they're right next to waitresses on how much they should be paid
“Hello how can I help you”
“Yeah can i get 2 number 5’s”
“Ok will that be all”
“Yea”
Jesus fucking Christ I need to hide in a corner I need to recharge my introvert batteries fuck i cant handle this oh god oh fuck
Wrong question.
The real question is, why are you ok with walmart and mcdonalds hosing the taxpayer for the survival of these minimum wage workers?
All of these companies can afford to pay these workers a living wage, but in order to enrich billionaires, middle class taxpayers have to pay to have these people housed and fed.
Stop being such a cuck and open your goddamn eyes.
Because every working person deserves to be able to afford a roof over their head if nothing else.
Cause they gotta deal with fat annoying redneck bitches with their fat bratty redneck kids.
cuz rent costs 2k$
Ok commie
this is the unironic correct answer.
Can’t tell if joking, they gotta deal with annoying people? Yeah I get it, that sucks but literally everywhere you deal with annoying people
why not.

I make $16.30 an hour as a journeyman clerk in a grocery store and I still can't afford my own place, I rent part of a house for $500/mo.
It doesnt matter if it's easy. It matters if people will do it. I make 60 usd per hour, so fuck off. Not op.
“Hello how can I help you”
“Two number fives”
“Ok will that be all”
“I said two number fives faggot, did I say anything else?”
Don’t know what made up fantasy land you live in where people are courteous and decent.
they get paid $15, just not from the company that is getting the benefit of their work. they end up with low-income healthcare (medi-cal), food stamps, section 8 housing.
Why shouldn't the company that gets the benefit of their work pay a living rage.
And, if that isn't affordable for them, automate. I'd rather have the government pay the whole amount than having a private company take economic advantage.
After you tell us why you tip plate carriers to the point most of them earn over 30 an hour?
Well damn maybe you should’ve got the skills to work a good job, you don’t need a 4 year college to make a living wage.
You may need to learn something about computers, agriculture or that shit. Cause nothing comes easy
/thread
Fair.
Was in We Wuz Burger Kangs recently. Dude in front of me goes on this long winded explanation about how he wants everything.
>This is how I want my burger.
>This is how I want my fries.
>Blah, blah, blah ~super specific~
>"And God help you if you fuck it up!"
So they have to custom cook his order and while I'm quietly eating, I see this fucker rush back up to the counter, push past everyone else in line and just start screaming about how they put too much mustard on his burger and it throws off the balance of flavors or some shit. Then he starts screeching at the manager about "Have it YOUR way!! Have it YOUR way!! That's the fucking slogan!! Have it YOUR way!!" I could see that the staff and a few customers just wanted to do the world a favor and end this dipshit.
>You may need to learn something about computers, agriculture or that shit
>you don’t need a 4 year college
>the skills to work a good job
maybe tell 1% not to increase the cost of fucking bread, so that those, who work and dont have "a good job" can live?
If any of you guys took an economy class you would have e ought of an understanding to hold a conversation with a 8th grader. Oh how the educational system has failed us.
I used to work at Burger King.
If they ignored his preferences they weren't doing their job. Making a burger is fucking easy.
Because you're too lazy to cook for yourself. Plus like stated all the non-cooking hassle running a kitchen of any size entails.
>i want a cheeseburger without cheese
>thatll be hamburger
>no, i want a cheeseburger without cheese
>right
>serve hamburger
>look at receipt
>"hamburger"
>stir up shit u wanted a cheeseburger without cheese
>threaten to sue

So they can afford to not starve to death
>you would have e ought of an understanding
What the fuck is an e ought?
I had an 8th grade reading level in 2nd grade faggot, I was already reading novels.
Let’s be brutally honest here, mopping and scrubbing shit ain’t shit
Paid for your time
I get it if the dude had said "No pickles, no relish, etc." but he's describing the exact amount of each condiment, the order he wants them on the burger, "I want four pickles of this size arranged like this", "I want one large slice of tomato this thickness".
Shit like that.
if you actually have a high paying salary why tf would you care if peasants get a few more pennies
Let's be brutally honest here, if you're too lazy to do it yourself you deserve to pay through your nose.
For babysitting your need to eat when you could have cooked food yourself like an adult?
You are full of shit dude, the tomato witch cuts the slices the exact same size every time.
I’ve seen men get ran over by tractors, work with no water for hours, get left with consistent cramping in arm for years because of work.
But they could never understand that pain of dealing with a really annoying person I’m sorry.
Yes sir because being able to read twilight at grade 2 must give you the biggest brain. And of course basic literacy warrants you to be an outstanding mathematician. Grow the fuck up mate.
It’s not about deserving. It’s about fairness. If you have a full time job, you should be able to life a decent life. At least better than someone who gets welfare. But 15$ are pretty high. Wenn I started after my graduation, I got less money than that.
In Germany the minimum wage is 9,19€ per Hour (10,25$). I think that this is fair and a cashier at McDonalds definitely doesn’t deserve more.
>zoomer twilight novels and math
Literally lay off the crack pipe retard.
You deserve 15 an hour just for showing up anywhere to work. 15 dollars isn't shit these days. You can't even live on it alone.
The general idea is that when you raise the minimum wage, you're just magically pulling money out of your ass. You're disincentivising companies because now they have to pay their workforce more. To make cuts, they keep their more able workers and fire the rest. Effectively, you raise unemployment and get more people in welfare but hey, the people that had it good now have it better right? If you want real change you need to implement a maximum wage so that corporations have to give their workers the extra money rather than handing out bonuses to executives.
I remember when I was 16 I worked fast food and it was the worst job ive ever had to this day. It is the most soul crushing never ending wave of bullshit I have ever experienced. If youve never worked fast food id imagine itd be hard to have an opinion on it. The shear volume of food you have to put out is ridiculous and corporations are stingy with their hours so a lot of times you have to do the work of two or three people
if you want more than 15 dollars to "afford to live", get a real fucking career you degenerate autist cunts
does this actually happen?
Complete fucking bullshit.
My store has an average wage of $19/hr not counting salaried employees and we run 14% labor and literally demolish projections every period.
If I go by specific departments it gets even worse, they beat the projection by $2k per week easily in one department with 6 employees, 5 making around $16/hr and one making $27/hr (the manager)
They could easily bump everyone in the department to $20/hr and still be profitable.
nice anecdote faggot
Its a shit suburb of a major city with massive heroin and meth problems.
A huge chunk of our stores profits are from WIC checks and food stamps. Shit isn't an anecdote.
Congrats. You just described what minimum wage means. It always means the minimum you can live freely off. It should be in the 20s at this point. But old people really love being fucked in the ass by corporations and government.
Sorry m8 but a companies business model isnt meant to be generous to its employees. Does it make sense for me, a cash business executive to give some of my money to you peasants? What about my shareholders, do you think they will willingly give employees raises just because it's the good thing to do? When you raise the minimum wage, companies double down on this behavior and purposely cut their workforce to keep the profit they had before the wage hike.
Hey I’m from Seattle too
lol oh hi :)
yup one of the shittier grocery stores in everett.
top kek, you work at a grocery store complaining about pay, maybe get a real job and then you wouldn't complain about money
>business model isnt meant to be generous to its employees
No shit that's why we have unions.
Not complaining at all, I use the fact that I know they can afford to pay me more to leverage the district manager into giving me raises.
Its extremely easy to make a liveable wage at a grocery store.
What I don't like is that there is a good chunk of employees that get paid barely above min wage when the company can afford to give them like $6-$8 more an hour.
Look buddy, Nothing in this life comes easy and compare being really annoyed and bored to hard labor, and mind splitting work in programming, business, etc. Who should be payed more?
A lot more than you might think, though it's only niggers and old white farts that do it really.
While I sadly didn't pursue anything after school and I've been unlucky enough to work in fast food ever since I still see it completely unnecessary that the minimum wage be increased to $15 because a group of kids,blacks, and snowflakes can't afford there drugs and hobbies.
>I make 60 usd per hour
and i'm the king of Jupiter.
And NOT jupiter florida where you suck dick for a living
Homosexual kid running drive-thru at the Burger King I worked at had some old lady open her soda and chuck it at him and tell him he was going to hell.
Ive been working at windys for about 4 months now to make a little extra money and i can say for certain it is an easy job. Obviously theres hard parts like very angry customers but i would say im getting paid fairly
And unions are complete shit at their jobs. What we need is a maximum wage where exec's cant get paid more than 12 times of their bottom employee. That way you solve wealth inequality and you effectively get rid of this awful business model
It's "get" not "got", you dumb redneck.
>unions are complete shit at their jobs
Maybe but my contract is decent.
I get 4 weeks paid vacation 70ish hours of sick pay, health/dental/vision for $20 a month and they match my 401k.
Pretty fucking good for a grocery store.
It’s called inflation
And they deserve $25/hr at least.
Your system is broken, cappy
He should've shut his fucking mouth and done his job. If I had some teen homo preach to me in line at burger king I'd fuckin throw my drink at him too

I hate to agree so much but I do
Remind me again why someone deserves anything at all?
Yeah unions own and anybody who doesn't like them is a bougie idiot.
Dude. You make more money when people have enough to buy the shit you sell.
Why do you think diamonds, fast food, and every single thing you make is doing worse now then 20 years ago?
>If
>Would have
No you wouldn't tough guy.
Based grandma. I don't have a problem with gays but It's fun to watch other people get upset over them.
You've got to be in the very early ages of life to think your 2nd grade reading level is anything to flex about
What would you do? Get out and suck him off? Enjoy the sweet and sour on your fuckin hashbrowns user.
can't wait to be old, you can get away with so much
Dude i knew all the dinosaurs in fourth grade so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about.
Basic human interaction involves getting spat on in this case
nigger wat, if you pay the peasants more money, then it drives the cost of everything associated with it up. to offset overhead cost, you either cut staff or increase price of product or service
No? I would take my food and so would you. You wouldn't assault a stranger in public, tough guy. Go find a victim right? Should be really easy to do if you actually wanted to do that. But you don't sadly. You want to try to sound tough on the internet. Sorry about the weak wrists, nerd.
Honestly, dealing with humans should pay double that at least.
>flex
lmfao I was talking about my air conditioner and this zoomer kid asked me why I was flexing.
I know what kind of retard you are already.
Here's the real reason people need to be paid a wage close to living.
If you pay them enough, they'll buy your shitty product.
If you don't, they can buy it with government won give me dats. One more voter for the democratic party. Who decide the fate of the rich cocks you suck. Because the rich cocks democrats suck think it's a good idea to have people "buying " the shit they make. And you, you shit brained scum sucker. Think it's "Smart" to pay people soo little. They have to pick between your double helping of premo shit, or shit generic.
Oh look. Another company you ruined. Oh well. Better rack up another 50 K in debt and default while you look for another marketing job.
Why would i buy your product if i don't make enough to afford it?
This is not how it works. Read a book about the economics of compensation.
Because I make 25/hr to say "have you turned it off then on again?".
Yeah definitely flex isn't slang from the 90s.
>assault a stranger
It's a drink user. Stop being such a fuckin nerd.
To be perfectly honest I think he deserved it.
This kid used to sexually harass me by pretending to suck off his mop while he eye fucked me and told me it could be me.
>bragging about being sexually assaulted by a faggot
fml...
No. It's being a shit. And if you think that's ok. You are a shit
It's this
My hypothesis is that old people cause pain for others to cope with the pain of being an old fuck that no one cares about
It's a fantasy user. Stop being such an internet tough guy. You have never done anything like that and you never will.
Guess I'm a shit
you're an internet tough faggot because you aren't an irl tough faggot hth
>internet tough guy
>internet tough guy
>internet tough guy
Christ. Why are you so fucking upset
The sad part is 90% of the time it works.
"Try blowing air through the end of the cable; sometimes they get dusty. Oh? It was unplugged and you didn't notice? Imagine that. Have a nice day!"
if you're able to handle thousands of emotional retards who know nothing about technology, sometimes 10 an hour, sitting there waiting to help rejects with technical information, you're actually higher than teaching assistant 19 year old fucks who happened to get an A in intermediate fucking java or a fucking egotistical professor who has no people skills.
YOU deserve at least 20 an hour in this high tech world. walmart retards do not deserve 5.
>he's teasing me and laughing at my fantasy life I create for myself on Yea Forums

Lol you think computer touching is work and that it's still 1995
I would jerk off 12 dogs in an alley way and then make it home for dinner.
He's the disgruntled mid shift worker in the back that pisses in the pickle bucket and cries himself to sleep because his redneck girlfriend crashed her 3-wheeler and has brain damage.
the real question is, why tf would you pay someone more if an autist can do it with two brain cells
I dunno. Most of Walmart's customer service problems are caused by shitty management, which is itself a result of a poisonous corporate culture. Money may not trickle down but mediocrity sure does.
It get's worse mang.
You gunna keep being a shit. And people are gunna know. Your kids are gunna hate you. Your wife is gunna leave you.
Your gunna die shitting yourself in the nursing home when you be a shit to some nurse. Your gunna die, shaking, cold in your own shit in a bed in a home your kids put you in to let you die.
And i'm gonna spend the rest of my life laughing at your future.
Because fuck you. And fuck your drink.

My favourite are the ones who said call from their car and their equipment is offline :)
Or the people that I literally ask them to read what their screen says to me. Then tell them do do exactly what their screen says.
Honestly... you just make your calls go longer by talking to the little old ladies/men that call in and honestly just want to talk to someone. I talked to a guy that came in roaring mad that his number doesn't show up in not my companies phone book... and then spent 2 hours talking about gardening.
Kids can't put you in a home if you don't have any. I plan on dying homeless and crazy. I revel in making the world just a slightly worse place than it was before
Great. Solid plan. Hope it works out for ya buddy.

lol
Dude I make $40k and max out my $401k contributions every year because no kids/wife.
Get over yourself faggot that one week a year where you start getting all lonely and do stupid shit like ask a woman out is temporary. 95% of the time doing whatever the fuck you want is better than being in a relationship.
Having kids is the result of giving into your biology.

Because it’s unacceptable for anyone to work full time and not be able to afford a place to live. I’ve lived in multiple states and have worked in retail management. I’m currently not working, but when I was I was only making $12 an hour and working 35 hours a week as an assistant produce manager. I lived in one of the cheapest cities in the country and I still was having trouble making rent and living in squalor. A minimum wage of $15 would assure that in most places full time workers could at least afford a one bedroom apartment. Also it’s a question of American business models being fair. Executives and elites shouldn’t be hoarding money while people at the ground level are struggling to make ends meet. Even worse most companies I’ve worked for also show anti union propaganda during orientation. A higher minimum wage wouldn’t solve everything, but it would make it easier for workers to live and give them the tools they need to make a better life. We also need to increase marginal tax rates for the incredibly wealthy to fund social programs such as Medicaid for all. Healthcare should be considered a basic human right.
yeah but the system literally doesnt care about you
all of your energy is for nothing.
You can absolutely live off minimum wage. You just have to find cheap housing. Get roommates. Learn to budget and how to cook. People just want easier living as if they "deserve" it. News flash, no one deserves shit unless you earn it. Working some piss ass easy job straight after high school with no actual skills or talents doesnt entitle you to be able live in your own and have a decent car. If you want something get off your ass and work towards a better career and use all the bullshit as a motivator. Or just complain that it's unfair while everyone else around you who isnt useless betters their lives.
Dude you got fucked.
I bet all the other asst managers were making $20/hr and just didn't tell you.
>no one deserves shit unless they earn it
user, their argument is that one who works full time deserves a decent life. I agree with you, but pay attention
Ok. You got me there.
AND so did dad.
No you absolutely cannot and it's the reason I have to pay higher taxes to support Walmart employees on welfare instead of Walmart paying their fucking employees a fair wage.
Sounds like you work for Walmart. That is the mistake.
Yea my bad I was just replying to all the "it ain't fair" people in here. I should've been more clear
I agree with you, actually. The system doesn’t care. However, the way we vote and the actions we take dictate how the system works. Nothing good ever comes easy, and just because the current situation is shit doesn’t mean we should attempt to change it or stop trying. I know I’m a certified idealist faggot, but I’d rather hold on to hope that we can do something collectively as a society to improve our situation.
Poor baby boy. Go tell your school counselor. I feel for you user but it's still May, come back in a month and shit up the board then, ok?
Also that if the company doesn't pay them enough then THE REST OF US have to do it through food stamps and subsidized housing. So McDonald's guy takes all the money, employees are poor and go on the dole.
It's ok
I actually worked for Sams Club, the other side of the company. This assistant manager job though was for a company called Vitamin Cottage. West coast health food store chain. We like to act like places like that are better than Walmart, but they aren’t. Retail is retail and they always treat their employees like shit. feelsbad.jpg
There's no such thing as fair dipshit.
No you cannot.
FLorida min wage is 8.50
Average cost of a apartment?
1,150
Even half that and you've still got no way to pay for a vehicle. You cannot work in this state walking or riding a bike, as the heatstroke will kill you or drench your clothing in sweat.
You can go into debt and live 8 per person in a shit hole..
And yes, People do deserve to be paid living wage if any of there taxes go to the government of the state they live in. Full time tax mandates living wage or you're just going to have a society that cannot live without government subsidy.
And worse. Business shut down because no one can afford to buy the stuff they sell you asshole.
I agree that's it pretty gay to have to subsidize other people. Personally, I'd like to abolish the government completely and just let everyone fend for themselves. I'm a bit of a wishful faggot but a misanthropist can dream.
Explain all the min wage people who do it then. Or I guess they just dont exist right? How fucking stupid are you people?
My brother actually held the same position before I did. They pay a flat rate based on position and don’t really do raises. The only way to get a raise is to move up and the only way to move up is to take abuse from management and act like a lap dog. It’s really shitty, my dude.
>their equipment is offline :)
Or that one, inevitable fucker who still doesn't know, in the year of our lord 2019, who still at this very time hasn't learned that maybe, possibly, there is the barest shadow of a chance that perhaps those emails from the HOT RUSSIAN GIRLS who WANT TO PAY YOU FOR SEX might not be on the up and up.
Because low skilled labor isnt a good life. It should be left to teenagers and Mexicans. Learn a trade. Move up literally anywhere if you arent weird then by 40 you should be earning at least 40k
I worked for Walmart (got to a $15/hr position and then noped out because the pay was way lower than the work load.)
So I swapped to mobile sales in target. I literally spent 8 hr shifts on my phone for the most part.
Remind me again why housing is so expensive?
Yeah there is. Fairness exists. I'm not sure what your Boomer point is. People figure out fair wages all the time. I accept a fair wage for my work.
They definitely exist, but they’re probably living at home with family or with other people scraping by. My mother is disabled and she asked about moving, but the wait list for section 8 is several years here. One of the benefits of a minimum wage is we would see more availability of section 8 for those who need it, and we would save money on all the people that would now be able to afford a 1br apt.
Because of Bills and cost of living are overcalculated. Being cool is what made America great. A penny more or less and trusting your neighbor with California peaches are priceless American habits.
There are things that are priceless Americans are respected and loved for.
There are also ones where I want to ask if they know the internet exists and porn is (for a lot of content) ABSOLUTELY BLOODY FREE AND WHY ARE YOU PAYING $100 A MONTH FOR IT THROUGH YOUR CABLE BOX. But of course that isn't what they called in about or something you can say.
B-but corporations are evil! Businesses need to be raped even though employment is a 100% consensual agreement that could be terminated at any time if I'm not content
Hippy fairness kind of reminded me of things I read in my history books. Grant's on railroads is how I view 15hr putting spending power on the economy.
They live with there parents. Or in many cases, live in groups of 3 to 8 people per studio apartment while saving no money.
Let's take the problem to you. What do you do for a living, and i'll explain why it's in your best interest to pay people more.
only stupid people stay poor
i suggest you use the Aristotelian method of determining the mean between vices in order to find proper virtue.
of course, your fedora and maybe fortnite helped you leap far beyond that level of consciousness and understanding but now that game of thrones and the big bang theory are over, you might actually learn some real wisdom that matters.
oh, and fuck you, retard. your philosophy makes me want to literally spit on you. why the fuck do i need a master's in philosophy along with my computer science degree when young people are SO FUCKING SMART?
I'm not a boomer lmao. I'm a 25yo who was tired of earning shit money so I learned skills and got a better mindset to ensure I dont have to live like that again. Like I said, people can continue crying that they arent getting paid a fair wage or do something other than cry about. There is so much opportunity to make money nowadays that it's your own fault if you live in squalor
I feel your pain, man. I was making like 11.50 when I left at working there three years. I was working at Lowe’s at the time too, so I cut down to just the one job to try and go back to school. Lowe’s has it’s own issues, but after working for Walmart for 3 years and doing more work per shift than most team leads, I just couldn’t do it. It broke me. I actually dislocated one of my knees when working at Lowe’s lifting soil and I have some fucked up ligaments because of it. They never paid for me to have a follow up or have it checked out past a 5 minute visit at the walk in clinic. It was really shit, man.
I suck hobo dicks for a living at a very reduced rate and you can't make me stop.
Oh no. Internet man mad. Said I wear fedora. Big man so smart. Make many money. Get all pussy
Nah there's lots of reasons.
Why should a nurse barely make enough to get by?
Why should a emt make the same as mcdonalds?
Why should a teacher make less then a car salesmen?
There's so much that needs to be fixed. Your job alone isn't going to run the world. When these people stop working and start protesting against this pay, who's going to run it?
But if they were all able to get paid enough to live off, you could suck renters dicks.
lmao same, i'm 26yo and i was born poor af but im sitting on a fat salary now
human time is worth more than $15, no matter the task. me sitting in a dark room doing nothing wouldn't be worth less than $15 an hour.
lol wat, my gf is a nurse and she's doing perfectly fine, all her sisters are nurses and they all live on their own
I'm pretty sure most nurses make decent money. Teachers dont work full years and car salesmen make extra money on commission. Emts make more than McDonalds employees. All shit examples
Ah i understand now.
Where i'm at, florida,
Nurses make, 64,890
Emts $31,170
teachers $48,134.
So in This state, with rent and property being nuts. These three careers make pretty close to nothing. What's the incentive to stay here and not leave this state to rot?
remind me again why do you even care? are you going to pay their wages? Or are you just an asshole who doesn't want others to have nice things?
Inflation. It is completely unreasonable that the minimum wage has dragged behind the increase in cost to everything that was considered a necessity, which informed the formation of the minimum wage.
The minimum wage was designed to make sure that exploitative businesses could not pay anyone they hired full time less than enough to survive. That amount in the past was indeed enough to afford accommodation, heat, food and clothing, today it is not. The number needs by necessity to rise with inflation or it is not serving its purpose.
rip gg, move to another state that has a lower COL
this. OP is an asshole/idiot
Because I don't want someone who is only worth 8$ an hour cooking my food. I don't like spit in my burger.
The trouble is that nobody can afford to stop working no. Labor markets are saturated. It's a buyer's market and companies can buy your life (because that's what labour is) at less than cost because of abundance in supply. This is the one situation in which the free market CANNOT create its own solution, because it is a founding principle of America that all have the right to life, so this one part of the market needs to be regulated so that the buyer (employers) cannot buy the product (life) at less than it costs the supplier (employee) to have (live) it.
You can't oversimplify it like that. Though all the other shit they do is also menial, there is much more than that. The problem really lies in the fact that, as another user mentioned, this should be a pit stop in life - not the final destination... Except you can only have so many people rise past it and get "good jobs." Some people aren't fit for higher paying jobs, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have at least a decent basic quality of life.
Where I live, in South Florida, you won't find much for rent cheaper than 1,500/mo (unless it's in the hood or in a 55+ community). This will get you a 700-900 sq ft box in lost cases. If you're making 15/hr and working full 40 hr work weeks, you're grossing 2400/mo which means you've got maybe 2k left after taxes, insurance, etc give or take. Take away rent and you're left with 500 for car (you will not survive in most places in Florida without a car so this is non negotiable), groceries, phone, etc. Little to no room for saving/401k, emergency funds, incidental expenses, etc.
Now, I don't want to pay a fucking McDonald's worker 15/hr because the prices are only going to go up since the people running these companies have little compassion for their workforces... But I also don't want to watch people fucking starving and suffering when they're busting their asses full time.
Something's got to give, man. Rent and shit keeps going up, wages are stagnating, and if it keeps going this way I'd guess we have maybe 10 years left before the masses actually start getting angry.
I make 100k/yr and will probably be able to make a hope to the 150 neighborhood within the next year or two and I can't even fucking imagine slaving away for at or near min wage in today's world.
>Move to another state
With what capital? You can't just up sticks without money. That doesn't work.
Literally anyone can work at Mcdonalds or Tacobell with zero education and zero skills. You don't even have to be good at your job, just show up and make food or sit at a register that has colored buttons.
I make 30$ an hour as an accountant for a hotel business and I have to keep track of millions of dollars down to the penny. Meanwhile I can't even trust a chef at wendys to remove onions from my hamburger. Be thankful you make anything, it's the only place that lets you be a complete retard and still make money.
if you had marketable skills, you could apply to jobs out of state
Yah mang.
I've got elderly folks depending on my ass. And a inheritance that's looking to pop in a year or two. But when that happens. i'm gonna rent a house out and move the fuck to the next side of the country.
Fuck this hot, hellishly expensive pit of statistically ugly human beings and slave labor. One day this state is gunna snap and bleed itself out. I wanna watch from far far away when that happens.
None of which would accept an out of state applicant with the same skills as someone who is already established. Which. Every state has. Buyer's market for labor.
If you had marketable skills, you have a constant debt. Working every moment to find a job somewhere else.
And all the people who don't have marketable skills? You think the best use of there buying potential is as slave labor only buying food provided by the government?
Who buy's what you sell?
>Anyone can do it
And EVERYONE has the right to life.
Minimum wage exists to prevent employers buying life at less than cost.
Remind me again why this isn't spam? The same thing, over and over?
>mcdonalds employee
>working
Ha, okay bud, get to bed you have school in the morning

They don't, but those kinds of jobs shouldn't be full time jobs; they should be basic entry level jobs that you actually want to get out of.
This makes some wild assumptions.
First, every worker is actually capable of doing more. Some people are just dumb.
Second, there will always be jobs available for entry level workers to work their way up to. Reality is that you may have to leave your home, community, even your state to be able to find something more than an “entry level” job.
Third, that the “system” actually wants people to be able to climb up the ladder. Simply put, if everyone becomes middle management then middle management becomes entry level. People at the top want folks to look down on. Furthermore, climbing the ladder to success isn’t merit based. Getting a better job requires knowing someone.
The reality is that “entry level” is much harder to rise above if you live in an area without opportunity and you don’t know someone who will give you a helping hand up the ladder of prosperity.
No one gets paid what they deserve. They get paid what people are willing to do the job for. Now if no one will do it for less than 15 an hour so be it. But people with zero skills need jobs that don't require them and people with zero skills can't afford to be picky.
most people aren't worth shit.
money is just a tool to motivate people to contribute to a phony society
think deeper.
Dubs of truth don’t lie
>this
reminds me that u still live with your parents and coming on Yea Forums thinking u do the big dick walk with a little dick.,
Well nigger since you asked. Before there was a glut of jobs like these welfare just paid people not to work. Adding the work requirement in the 90s made it so people had to get out in the world and do something for their income, they needed shit jobs to go to and we needed them out in the work force so they could move up. It is only recently that people expect the wage of a cashier to feed and House family of 4. If every one is forced to pay a wage that supports a family of 4 employers will be more.picky with who they hire. And all those people you're so worried about will be out of work and kicked off welfare
What kind of roof. Does every working person deserve enough money to not need a roommate? How many bedrooms does every working person deserve?
they don't
you're welcome
Nobody gets paid what they deserve. That's literally irrelevant.
Enjoy the dole then, faggot
>If you want something get off your ass and work
Says the Trumptard that's never heard of the concept of the "working poor."
Says the Trumptard that votes for people that are against any kind of government assistance to help those "working poor"
Says the Trumptard that is totally bereft of any semblance of humanity or empathy where other people are concerned (but would be first in line expecting it if something happened to him)
Says the Trumptard that (pick as many as applies)
>still lives with his parents
>inherited whatever money he has
>is a prime example of the definition of "nepotism"
Don’t fucking forget that people who work entry level jobs are usually working at a higher level of productivity than other people. Fast food? Lunch rush involves serving 500 to a thousand meals in a short period. Order fulfillment for Amazon? The scanner they use keeps track of their every movement. UPS and FedEx does the same thing with delivery. Factory workers get paid by the piece.
Entry level is practically Slave labor. These folks work their asses off and OP wants to lecture them about how they should have ambitions to get a better job and aren’t worth $15 an hour?
Currency is valueless outside of what everyone thinks it's worth; if people think an hour's worth of shitty work is worth $15 then it's worth $15
A sufficient roof and walls to keep the elements out. Yes, roommate is reliance, reliance is a loss of liberty, liberty is a right. One bedroom, you only need one in which to sleep.
Not rocket science.
The working poor AKA the lower end of the middle class barely get any help from the government if any which is why they don't support dumping more money into help they aren't going to qualify for.
You have to barley work, not work at all or lie about everything like the Mexicans do to get any sort of government assistance.

Just the last horror story. Managers hardly have employees side due to fear of ratings/complaints. People deserve 15/hr just for dealing withthe public.
why americunts call cola soda
This
Because we drink name brands, not just ___ cola eurofag
You do bark black shit at people, and expect us to read your mind while thinking you own your workplace.
I could not make simpler "as is" orders without there being a communication problem on your end or ghetto drama. Last but not least you are very disrespectful to my father and racist asking him to repeat himself like he doesn't speak English. It's a coke every time. Would you like fries with that sir? You can't fuck this up. God forbid I talk to your bitchass and tell you to add or remove burger toppings on behalf of my father. In a nigger society with entitled spics telling you to make custom orders or as you like to call it special for this faggot is like I killed a goddamn puppy and a kitten.
Original chicken sandwich with heavy mayo because I won't eat it with ketchup, a big mac with extra sauce no pickles no mustard I don't want the buns hard or old coke no ice fresh off the broiler fresh fries top it off to the top full like it's white America. I'm paying your hourly wage with my order. There I just got a puppy and a cat. You're ghetto trash and retarded. Fuck you.
what brands fat fuck
you always order coca cola with additional nigger cum
Because there are American things more important such as sam Walton's faith in people than your tax dollar political opinions. Or coronal Sanders war against blacks or McDonalds.
Because they have to put up with bullshit people like you.
Half of fast food markets that shit. Not just burger king and whataburger. I think you can ask taco bell for extra shit.Should I cuck myself out of avocado at my whataburger meal or extra tomato at subway? It's me my money and your bosses against you. Fuck you.
How is there a secret menu anywhere with your attitudes? Maybe then you would earn 15hr. I literally met a retarded spic genderbend bitch that took out lucky extra mozzarella sticks out of people's orders at sonic. If you're a chink or sandnigger you too, and do this against American things. Fill up my fries to the top or get the fuck out of this country.
Took. Shit. Out.
You don't hold down a waiter job in Mexico queer. In a sane country you just don't make it.
Not if you're smart. In Mexico you got inflation in my history books on America shot like this works all the time. Fuck it.
It's called laissez faire and spending power being injected into the economy.
Throughout my life I have worked three jobs. I worked at McDonalds (7.25), a construction company where I would cut clean and move 14 ton pipes all day long (11.50), and I am currently a programmer (32). Working at McDonalds was by far the most difficult jobs I have had, and caused me the most pain both physically and mentally. Every job is a "real job" and as long as you are working full time you deserve to afford to live.
>roommates
>every 3rd world country problem with minimum wage to middle class workers
>moving up in the world like madmen happens IRL 2019
Kid on YouTube cucks himself into great savings. Pretty stupid.
Labor is labor. Management is not labor.
There are more nurses from go back to your country and I think I have a legitimate career than fast food workers that caused it.
...is $15 an hour a lot of money to you?
Some basics right here:
Business needs employees to function.
Employees need money to live.
It's a simple agreement, OP. Either pay your employees enough to live or go out of business due to a lack of employees.
Cost of living goes up all the time. Businesses are notorious for not increasing employee pay as costs go up, which is fucked up already, but the bottom line workers need to actually be able to survive if they are going to continue working for your benefit. Stop being upset that you can't own hordes of slaves and make them work to death for peanuts. If you want to be able to do that then move to China or India.
Because your lazy ass won't do it.
You want better, do it yoself.
Nigga!
>Never worked in Retail
>Mommy paid for college and muh computer
Kys
I just think people are too retarded and cucked and trash to go to Macy's to buy clothes and out to eat.
They are trying to stay alive not pay employees, toys r us is an example of much social commentary
there should be no minimum wage.
and NEVER TIP. don't encourage that fuckery, those lecherous dogs that expect to be rewarded for doing their jobs are pavlov's libtards. they've been coddled too long.
nice trips! with the facts :)
this is why dumbocraps keep losing
#MAGA2020
Say those exact words to the next person who serves you food.
That will show the coddled bastards.
>Trips
>Dubs
Nice samefagging, homosexual
Fucking hell, people deserve a whole lot more than $15 for putting up with humanity.
I don't have to bring up pavlov to find semen on my food. I really want to call someone for sexual assault and to close the places like health inspectors. Getting fired or your ass beat is the last of your worries.
walk in to: cook a burger every 30 seconds AND HURRY UP GODDAMMIT until dinner is over
closing time now clean this shit hole from top to bottom in an hour and a half and ffs hurry up you lazy fuck
congrats its 3.30am now you can fuck off home to drink and do drugs to save what little sanity you have left
every part of those two tasks and every shitty job you have to do in between them is expected to be done as if you are the flash (also no one respects this and talks about these jobs as if they are easy)
you will never even be eligible to be even the shift manager without a degree
you will never be able to afford to eat the food you cook (to this end your restaurant will give you a half price meal while you work so that you cannot honestly say this but dw it will be raped of every enjoyable bit by the fact that you are sweating like a pig from working so god damn hard and have less than enough time on your break to order/eat said meal and visit the toilet to shit out the previous meal, also every customer will stare daggers at you while you aren't working because you are subhuman in their eyes who doesn't deserve breaks or meals),
your social life will evaporate down to the 1 or two people who work your shift that you can tolerate (you had better get along with them there are usually only 3 or 4 others working your restaurant including the manager who will be discouraged from socializing with you by the restaurant manager and area manager.
the only fun thing to do when you get off work is to do drugs and alcohol and play video games,
due to the palpable miasma of fat smog in the kitchen you will start to get pimples (or just never grow out of them like the other people around your age) and will also find it very hard to lose weight because you're absorbing the fat from the air
also some cunt will bait you by asking if you even deserve to be paid for heating up food and basic human interaction
tl;dr someone deserves over $20 an hour you cunt
anybody who has a job should be able to afford rent, food, power, internet and phone
Because $15 an hour is bottom of the barrel pay these days.
>fatty rage
hourly wage is irrelevant unless we know the cost of living, utilities, transportation in the area. $15/hr could be barely enough in some places, while acceptation in others. this is how the national minimum wage confuses people.
imo, if you work 40 hrs you should be able to acquire basic housing, 4 meals a day, and travel costs up to 50 miles per week, while saving $100 a month.
Jokes on you, you're getting that spit regardless of the wage.
People seem to forget that the reason there is so much wage depression in the USA is not only due to illegal immigration, but people such as yourself aren't willing to do jobs that have any value. Jobs in retail are low value jobs. They're not that hard and they pay accordingly. back when your grandparents worked, they worked back breaking jobs that paid well and supported a family. Too many of you are too soft to go into the trades and make a decent living. So instead, you choose jobs that any idiot can get and consequently are jobs that have high turn over and low value.
Illegal immigration doesn't help much with the housing shortage either. Rent is high because supply and demand. Also there are barriers to building housing that make the entrance price for said buildings high enough that folks like you cannot rent at an 'affordable rate'. It's not the employers job to make sure their wage is livable. Either you can live off that wage or you can't. If you can't, then you don't take the job.
>peasant farmer work. White muh lettuce pickers
> talk shit about immigration because chicano goblino 56%. Muh California white Hispanic contrast comparison.

> other bullshit
Shut up.
15 an hour? Every customer pays over 7 dollars a meal with fries and a drink. Per person per meal.
Majority of fast food workers are the absolute dregs of society. So many lazy, slow and entitled bitches.
Not only can they pay you 15 and hour, as in you're demanding 2x+ the profit of every family and customer profit. Guess why you and your coworkers don't get it? You treat the customer like shit like it's your business. My earned money or my immediate family's has that kind of power over you. Get my order and food right bitch. This isn't fight club and this isn't the ghetto I will put you in jail for fucking with my food. It is beyond out of the question for me to get avocados on my whataburger for the big almighty bitchass nigger employee. Advice stop being ready to charge it drives customers away and you will get fired.
I must be a poor fatass in this economy where people become YouTube celebrities and rockstars and astronauts
This. Niggers and niggerlovers too. I only feel comfortable when Hispanic people that don't speak English take my order.
Given the pattern across the rest of the OECD, a group of mostly rich countries, one would expect America, where GDP per person is $53,000, to pay a minimum wage around $12 an hour.
Also, I have a feeling your less concerned about the question of why a CEO should earn 70x more than a worker.
Literally all they had to do to beat you people at your job is not be you.
They couldn't be greedier and trashier with their tax evasion and monopoly on the market
They dont.
I wonder if it's because they don't make any money and so they put in zero effort?!
"Welcome to McDonalds. What can I get you?"
"I'll take six McDoubles, seven Big Macs, Fifteen and a hlf point seven chicken strips, six large Cokes, a cheeseburger with no cheese, and all of that in taco form."
"Ma'am, I can't put those in taco form."
"What happened to 'the customer is always right?' I want to speak to the manager."
"Ma'am, I apologize, but I am the manager."
"This is an outrage. It's 10 PM and I can't get dinner for my twelve children! The Internet will hear about this!"
But more importantly; perhaps they do deserve to make a decent living, and the rest of us also deserve more money.

Minimum wage wasn't designed for "entry level jobs." Nor was it designed for teenagers to have a bit of extra spending. It was designed to ensure employers paid a reasonable wage to where employees could live comfortably AND have money to spend on non-essentials to stimulate the economy. Having a large sum of people unable to participate in non-essentials actually harms the internal economy, even if it does help improve GDP. GDP is not a representation of quality of life nor is it a representation of how well an economy is doing. It's a representation of gross domestic produce - and that's it.
Programming isn't hard. Learned that shit in high school. Still do it as a hobby. Employers just want a college degree instead of personally-built code. Probably because HR can't read code. Didn't go to college for it because wages were already dropping and tuition was climbing because everyone poured into the field creating more labor and lower wages. The wage-to-risk ratio was too high. Learned a trade skill instead, and I'm still learning about the trade 4 years later. The trade was harder to learn than programming.
Probably because programming was designed to be easy and metals are wildly unpredictable when you're forming them. Less-so when welding. Not sure why welders think their job is so hard; they can pull me off a brake, laser, plasma, turret, or out of the paint booth to go weld. But they can't send welders to the booth or the machines. But welders get paid more than everyone else (I'm an exception due to me being hired when they were in a tight spot; not because of my skills.)
To be fair, it's not tax evasion if it's legal.
But, yes, tax laws are designed to ensure the rich don't pay shit relative to their income and the rest of the classes foot the bill... And carry the rifles.
Fast food is a more important job than most careers and all of the military.
I think they're as important as a doctor.
You can just work an honest job to add money to the economy.
"What do you mean taco form?"
"I want one bun bent over because of a legitimate dietary reason, over some mentally ill nonsense that is popular in the media. Like doggy yoga or pilates. "
"We can't fuck your dog this is burger king"
"Did I say that? Who sells hot dogs"
"Is that what you meant by taco form?"
"No I was just asking if you had the jackinthebox tacos from taco bell, the Coney from sonic Sam's club or james Comey island or brought back the mcwraps."
"That's 11.50 here's your drink with ice and halfway through cold fries."
If I'm not your friend to bring up a commercial I don't know what the fuck a coney is or haven't kept up with your memes and the way you talk.
I don't mean to be an ass, but that's simply not true. Electrical engineers, computer engineers, teachers/professors, agricultural engineers, farmers, and all the industries that support modern living are far more important than fast food.
The military is faaaaaar more important than fast food. There are a lot of shitbirds who would love for the modern world to not have militaries so they could just take over.
And doctors are far more important than fast food workers. If all the doctors disappeared, the world population would plummet rapidly. If all the fast food workers disappeared, the world population would probably increase rapidly.
They deserve to make a living - yes, but let's not claim them to be important.
But I want to shop at Mervyns and Dillards not some jews fantasy about new York Macy's.
I don't pay the hospital bill from some narcissistic psychopath that cuts people. I was fed 2 days and poked and injured to avoid prison to be paying 8k. Computer nerds and farmers that aren't needed are not engineers, I'll give you a pass for the cable guy and electricity guy but they might as well be fast food workers. My Bill's and tv aren't food.
I stopped reading at the teachers and professors part. Glad they live in fear.
You can't just poke people, overrule their rights and detain them involuntarily from leaving the hospital on good terms on a medical condition and send them involuntarily to a mental hospital after keeping them for days now you want the bed vacant? And charge 8k bill over nothing. Fuck you.
You tell me why one fucking guy needs 500 Trillion dollars...
Funny, the final boss of food and the banksters you trust with your money are the only people I consider important.
But you think that. I love it.
I would not post that guy and I'm saying stupid shit.
You're going to make me rip my hair out I just finished an 18 hour shift. pls
