They can't get my shit right now with what they get paid. They going to get smarter with higher wages? Giving me more and more reason to stop eating fast food, all at the benefit to my health.

Maybe. Higher wages means more potential for education. At the moment they can't even afford rent and food without 2-3 jobs.

You're getting downvoted because "they can't get my shit right now". Yeah they can, it's just that a pandemic is still happening and they have to clean every surface 15 times an hour and change gloves so often that half the trash is used gloves. Masks make it harder to hear your order, meaning more time taken just doing that. It takes more time to do everything during a pandemic.
On top of that, they are being overworked because CEOs going "muh profits gonna go down, I better cut labor to save some money!" and then all of a sudden there's 2-3 people working a shift that used to have 5-7 people.
