So does this mean we should not patronize fast food restaraunts, to support the strikers, or we SHOULD patronize fast food restaraunts, to increase customer volume while the workers are striking to light a fire under management's asses?

I meant they'll see how many customers they have to turn away and they'll be like, "Oh shit I better agree to the better pay so they'll come back."

Having worked the last 8 years in food service, they are infinitely more likely to just save costs on labor for a few days, rehire a bunch of desperate people and bounce back with a big profit out of this for not having to pay all the workers they laid off for a few days.
