There is a reason these are called entry level jobs not full time careers. I have very little to no sympathy for people who make bad choices, refuse to try and better themselves, and scream that the government needs to do something about their situation. I grew up on food stamps and when Beth and I got married we had to resort to assistance for a little bit, I am well aware of both sides of the coin. If you refuse to step up to the plate and do what you have to to better yourself you deserve to flounder in the pool of stagnant water you have made for yourself. Take responsibility for your actions and get on with life.

I just did a check, and the fast food place that gets my most business, also has the highest pay for their employees compared to other national chains.
I enjoy the extra service, lower pay minimum wage worth employees would not survive at this chain, as they are expected to work well and be cheerful about it. Its a responsibility that comes with higher pay, and if you can't cut it, you're not going to make the extra $$$. Raising the minimum wage to equal with an entry level machinist, is a :eek: of entitlement that creates and attitude that you simply deserve free money from somewhere. Raising the minimum wage and increasing the pay of the employees at lower service fast food will not magically double my experience going there. |
If you look at the cost of everything else in comparison to the cost of a gallon of gas, things are going to have to correct in the next few years.

Most people's mentality at entry level jobs are the lack of care and only want to do the minimal amount of work possible. Management aren't dumb, so they see that and guess who isn't moving up too the next rung? when a subpar service job is provided, customers stop coming and lay off starts. Who's the first to go? This is my experience with entry level pay jobs for many who stay for years.

In my 20's, I worked at a skilled craft which also involved a great deal of manual labor (millwright rebuilding large machinery).
There were times when money was very tight, so I did the logical thing: "Hey boss, if there's any overtime available please let me know, I'm in. I don't care if it's midnight shift, weekends, holidays, doesn't matter. I'll work it". And work it I did, many weeks of 70+ hours or more. I did that for 10 years. I made allot of money, and improved my situation and managed to max out the 401k and put some money in the bank. What I DID NOT do was sit around on my part-time ass thinking it was everyone else's job to take care of me. Shame on anyone who does that. |
If you currently hold an $11/hr job you WILL be unemployed when the owner is forced to make it a $15/hr job.
Else you would already have a $15/hr job. |
This striking stuff is just one facet of capitalism in action. However it turns out, employers and customers will respond accordingly.

Lucky thing they are not doctors, but I suppose someone with that mentality could never become a doctor.

You always make me laugh Patrick. You are in favor of a ton of stuff that is going to make this worse, then seem surprised when in fact, consistent with numerous predictions, it actually makes things worse when something you support as a "good idea" is put into effect. Very amusing, particularly so, due to the fact that I presume you are a bright, well educated man. |
