    Where I live some retail stores and fast food places are offering $18 or more per hour. You'd have to pay me a lot more than that do deal with shitty customers again.

    I support Murder Bryan's plan for a fast-food draft so all these Karens need to work at McDonald's for a year and learn how the other half lives.

      I saw $18 and was like "damn that's a lot." Then I crunched the numbers and it's $5000 less than I make. As a public school teacher.

      Exploitation, we love it folks.

        $36k before overtime. That was my entry level salary at a boutique software firm and they bumped my salary to $40k the following year and $45k the year after that for fear of losing me.

        This is peanuts compared to the value-add you're generating in billables/sales. Nobody should be earning less than $25/hr. Certainly not with the cost of living right now.

      fast-food draft

      as Pod Damn America (the only podcast who talks to workers and aren't worthless PMC art student fascists) says in their several Thank You For Your Service episodes, workers are braver than the troops.
