I worked at Wendy's in high school. I don't remember there being any thug employees at all. We were mostly high school kids just making extra money. The only people I knew who needed that money to live were the managers, who were all much older than us worker bees. The folks I'd assume were doomed to a life of min. wage, menial jobs would be people over the age of about 25 who were still working fast food. If you're a teenager, it's perfectly acceptable to work a job like that. Oh, the other employees older than us who weren't managers were females inmates on work release from the local women's prison.
