So are you saying you think people shouldn't be able to make a living at doing a job unless the work is hard enough?

These jobs were never designed to support a household. They were ways to make some money while attending college or learning a trade.

"How can I pay a mortgage, car payment, and a cable bill for $15 an hour?"

Fast food places will simply replace workers with automated kiosks. It is the small businesses that are going to suffer. The corner market can't afford to compete with Wal-fucking-mart as it is, now they will go belly up. Same with the pizza place.

At the end of the day, Businesses will will work out an 'under the table' payment plan with their employees, or close thier doors. But don't worry, maybe companies like Amazon or Google will send you a pizza once in a while.

Never designed to support a household? WTF are you talking about? A job is a job. If an employer wants to hire people he can offer to pay them a livable wage or he can fuck off and do it himself.

When all the minimum wage jobs are gone, because they have been replaced with kisosks, and massive corporations, like amazon, you can feel really good about yourself!

I can just about guarantee that anyone working fast food or retail is working harder than you, you miserable piece of shit. "Not designed to support a household," get fucked. People like you are scum.

The POS system is not supposed to be complicated. Make a hundred hamburgers three times a day, cleaning up between, and prepping everything you need for that. No sitting, no playing on your phone, always something to do.

For the fun experience of scheduling, do this early in the morning one day, then late in the evening the next, and repeat for a full week, jamming in time off on separate days sandwiched by inconvenient shifts. If you are sick, you can't call in sick without a doctor's note you can't afford. Speaking of not being able to afford things...

$15/hr is not much these days. The take-home pay works out to $70 a day. If you pay rent, and rent alone, your disposable income shrinks to just $21 a day. How are you supposed to afford a way to that job (car payments, insurance, gas), eat lunch while at work, afford groceries for home...

$15/hr is what these people should have been paid before everything went to shit.
