I did it for 335 an hour in high school. Then for 700 in college on summer for graveyard shift in resort area before mickey d went 24 hrs. I loved it we actually cooked real food back then.Inflation SUCKS DONKEY BALLS!!!! Shit, the US dollar racket SUCKS DONKEY BALLS. I fucking hate money — I hate the artificial fucking system.
Thank the global system owners, the central banking Ponzi scheme and evil in general.
Now, the “burger flippers,” $17 an hr — how much would YOU do that job for?

Every American who's willing to work full time at an honest job deserves to make a wage that allows them to support themselves. I'll gladly pay extra for those delicious Five Guys Burgers (and fries). Especially if the money is going to pay a worker and not some shareholder.
I refuse to look down on somebody because they do menial labor. Not everybody can be a business owner or skilled tradesman. But these people still need to feed their children.
I work for a gazillion dollar pharm company. We get on average 2% raise. A yearly bonus of about 10% . They made so much money this year they are giving us an extra weeks pay. If your a higher level manager you can get up to 50% bonus. But as usual we grunts do all the work and get at least something I am grateful for.Places like fast food and other businesses (especially the service industry) are hurting for applicants and were forced to raise their hourly rate. Good for them. I've seen a lot of places do so. Unfortunately it's more of a benefit to get people in the door and work. On the other end, those who continue (and have) worked for corporations and etc, aren't seeing the raises.
For instance, I work at a hospital. They raised their starting wage for any position at the hospital to $15/hr. Whether it's cleaning toilets or etc. While good for those that are in that line of work, other positions are seeing no change in wage. There is a lot of frustration for someone who has worked years at an organization that likely started out at a lower wage, and to see a new employee make several dollars more an hour what they started out at.
What would be nice is since they bumped up the starting wage, they would bump everyone's wage up uniformly. We all know that is not likely to happen. As far as the service industry, that wage increase, is obviously passed onto the consumer. Someone has to pay and it sure isn't going to be the greedy owners.
referring to your first sentence, it used to be like that in the 1950s. you could graduate high school, get a full-time job and be able to support a wife, kids, a car and a house all on one income with no College degree. And then along came government and fucked everything up.
every five guys I’ve been to has an option at check out to leave a tip.
I don’t agree that if you work any type of a full-time job that you should automatically be able to support yourself. if the job you’re doing can’t produce enough money to support your wages then that makes no sense for someone to hire you at that high wage. you’ll be priced out of the market. you need to produce more than what your wages are.
you’re selling your labor to your employer. to make yourself hireable at a desired income you need to pick up skills. many people pick up those skills working low-paying jobs and working their way up and learning how the workforce operates.
I don’t believe in a minimum wage. I don’t agree that the government should set peoples wages.
minimum wage laws hurts people who have no skills. they get priced out of the market and people who have some skills will get the job instead. it’s destroying all the unskilled workers.
I agree 100% with your last statement, but why are people having kids if they can’t support them?
I shouldn’t have to pay extra for my Bacon cheese burger with fresh cut fries because someone is irresponsible and has multiple kids they can’t afford. now they’re asking for higher wages because of their irresponsibility.
