With all this talk about raising the minimum wage, particularly for fast food workers, no way would I even come close to supporting that when those clowns often do at least one of the following:
1) Screw up the order somehow: worst case is if they charge you for something without actually serving it
2) The old problem where you're the only one in the restaurant, it takes forever, and your food is still somehow lukewarm
3) Blatant food safety violations (I stopped going to a certain Burger King after watching someone assemble my sandwich without gloves)
4) Fry container knocked over in bag.
Meanwhile, burgers get smaller and price continues to climb, so that's a strike against the industry as a whole (and no, having a TV that plays news will not make me like fast food more).
The whole idea is bad. Good workers who care about what they're doing should get higher wages than those that don't care (and move up the career ladder, as they should), and anyone striking should be on the short list for firing--there's a bunch of teenagers and college students out there who will happily do it for the same price and deliver service with a smile. Debate is welcome.
