Skeletons wrote I think it should be at least $10.. And you don't think that flipping burgers is worth a good wage? To tell you the truth, I am a Grill operator at steak n shake in daytona beach. I work at the highest volume store in my district (Most customers). Now getting down to the point. I work over 2 grills for 6 hours 6 days a week. Now the temperature of those grills are 350F and 285F. Now.. Stand over a grill for 6 hours 6 days a week. Thats not all. I'm a 6'4 tall man. What does that mean? My back hurts, why? Because all the bread I used for the hamburgers are under the grill. Now I want you to picture a dinning room full of people (97 is our max capacity) and a drive thru to feed (Having to keep drive thru times under 2 Mins).. I've done a $5000 lunch with me and a manger. What does that mean? The sales between 11am-3pm totaled $5000 dollars. with most of are costumers ordering off the 4 dollar menu that is roughly 1,200 burgers.. (2,400) pucks.. 1,200 Buns. Now.. Not counting re-makes that's a lot of work..

Point of the story, do I deserve $7.79/HR? No, so I want you to work in fast food. It's harder than you think.. Just because the food comes quick, doesn't mean It came easy, thanks

Or i can go to college and try to get a better job...

Well unfortunately living on your own isn't as easy as asking dad and mom for money to go to collage

Well it kind of is your fault to work at a fast food place. You could of got a scholarship
or student loans so you can pay the money back once you get your degree and get a good job. There is really no excuse to not going to college unless you have a learning disability, or a serious health condition etc. But i do still support the increase in wadges, people cannot survive with $8 an hour.

For a fact i know McDonalds won't let that happen.

I definitely don't think that they should be paid that much. McDonald's could easily afford it though...

I disagree!
They should only get paid maybe 11$ hour in my opinion!

$15 is to much for just flipping patties, If he wants more than he makes, He should get a better paying Job.

Going to work for McDonalds must suck that's why they pay

I totally agree with Ampz.

They're working for McDonald's, did they forget?

get a better job. These kinds of jobs should be worked by 16-24 year olds IMO. IF you're older than that and working there that's your own fault.

That is exactly how I see it. Thank you.
