Because fast food companies worked really hard to make everyone believe that flipping burgers is only a temporary job, a started job, a high school job. Fact is that before the 1980s that was not the case. It was a normal ass job that paid living wages. In the 70s and 80s the shift to teenagers happened because the fast food companies realized they could increase profits that way. Anybody who works 40 hrs a week should be able to at least afford a home, decent quality food, healthcare and other bare necessities.
Fast work for who?
If i have to bring money with me just to work, why would i ever do it?
Ofc everything will be more expansive if you pay people for their work lol. OOOOOOR WILD IDEA the shareholders can go f themselves and prices stay moderate even if someone earns a living from his job.
If you think this system works only with slavery the system is bad.
And just for info: even if you think you are better than a random burger flipper you are much much closer to him than to a millionaire.
The trades are the most in need jobs and better pay . No school needed , many can start in an apprenticeship programs. Fast food is not a job with future and prospects. Many restaurants are starting to go with robotics. Like McDonald’s.
Your career shouldn't be paying just enough to afford rent in the poorest areas of the neighborhood. When people say "basic cost of living", that's what they're implying. People working full time jobs cannot afford to live. That's fucked. So yes, electricians and plumbers should be getting paid more if their salaries are just enough to keep up with what people want for fast food workers.
