We all Quit.

Good. Maybe now they'll go away away with McDonald's, Subway Wendy's, and the rest of their ilk.

You really don't wanna know what Wendy's makes their chili out of. Subway's bread has been found to have too much sugar in it to be legally called bread and their tuna is rumored to be not even tuna at all.

Americans might be able to learn how to make their own food instead of being lazy and buying this garbage for themselves and their children. This is a good sign.

I'm so amazed at my local BK. About a year ago, I had a whopper, large fries, coke for $6,50. My next BK trip cost about $8.00, which i thought was rather expensive. About 3 months ago, same meal cost $10.60. No way!!! Today same meal costs $12.27. That's just about doubling the price. And the staff is high school kids. I'm not anti-kid, but the kids are on autopilot. Each is doing his job, but if something happens to upset the process, there's no one there to take charge.. The kids are running the place. There doesn't seem to be any adult manager.
And even if the Queen Of England was in a Burger King shirt at the cash register, ain't no way I'm forking over $12.27 for a BK meal, do you agree?
 
I saw a sign on McDonald's here in Florida just yesterday that read "Help Wanted. Starting Pay $11.00 per hour." The majority of these types of jobs are not meant to support a person's lifestyle, but act as a supplement to other income. Most of these jobs are only part time and not 40 hours a week like most full time positions. I think high school kids make up a huge portion of the work force flipping hamburgers.

I always felt bad for the hotel maids working for $10 an hour or less. Motel maids expect to receive tips, but after talking to several of them over the years, they tell me that very few guests tip and if they do, it's only a dollar or two. I always made sure that I had a $5 bill to drop on the desk inside my room before departing for the airport. United promoted tipping our motel maids.

I've always left a generous tip before leaving my room. It's not easy work, being a hotel/motel maid.
 
There are lots of low-wage jobs like that, where people are being taken advantage of. One example: my newspaper is delivered to my door every morning at 4 AM. The same guy has been delivering it for years. I know this because he sends a Xmas card (reminder?) every year, with an envelope containing his name and home address. He probably gets minimum wage from the paper.

I am given the option of adding a tip to my monthly payment to the paper, automatically paid from my credit card. But instead, I give him a whopping cash gift every year in that Xmas envelope. That way, I'm sure it's going to him, and not in some general "tip"fund.
