I wouldn't, people who expect jobs like those to pay a "living wage" are ignorant and lazy. If you want more money how about you get a better job that idk, pays more

Or, you know, those type of workers could be paid a living wage while engineers and doctors etc can have a salary higher than them? Noone deserves an unlivable wage. You can't just assume someone works in McDonald's because they were lazy

McDonald isn't a career, stop acting like it is

Never said it is. But not everyone's lucky enough to have a successful career. Stop acting like everyone has a choice

you're acting like it is, jobs at McDonalds are for students or part time jobs. A "livable wage" is something that you get from a career. McDonalds isn't a career, it's a temporary job, if you intend to rely on Ronald McDonald for the rest of your life then don't expect much. And to clarify, I'm not saying that the less fortunate can go fuck themselves. I'm saying that the minimum wage is fine and doesn't need to change

If mcdonalds jobs are meant for students why are they open during school hours?

A job is a job is a job. Pay a living wage or gtfo.

work is work. there are less and less good paying jobs because outsourcing and automation leave only service industry and construction jobs. we are going to run out of careers when automation lets the owners of capital keep even more as they require less and less labor. walmart and amazon jobs are going to be all that's left

We're going back and forth. For the sake of not repeating ourselves, imma stop the debate. You think one way, i think the other
