If we got paid based on how we felt we should be compensated then we'd all be making more money.

Well that's just stating the obvious.

But negotiating your pay based on what you feel is more fair is not a new concept or idea. Irrespective of whether you're in fast food or working directly for a corporate executive.

It's always worth a try, if you have the guts to go for it. They're hearing him out, so clearly they see logic in his feelings to some extent.

I don't fucking get it.

Why not just find a fucking job that STARTS at 15 an hour? 

sssssssss

This is key as well

I would hope ppl with better qualifications would seek bigger opportunities.

Because it isn't that easy, especially when you're younger and don't have much experience or just got your degree.   

[yummy]

yeah I just..

I'm pretty sure he won't get fifteen. This is just a negotiation tactic, request the highest amount possible and meet somewhere in the middle.

And these fast food franchises are worth billions. They can afford a two or three dollar salary increase.

I can't at y'all defending this.

If he has a family to provide for he should find a better job. 


Unless you're a fucking manager or sum mess,
Fast food income ain't gonna support your family.... like

This is true tho.  Minimum wage is disgusting. Like wtf am I gonna do with 8 damn dollars

[Herb.]

Right.

There's nothing wrong with negotiating. I am actually happy to see a black man speaking up for himself. So many of us have this "oooohhhh shush chile...don't upset massah!" complex when it comes to the workplace. It's worth a try to speak up instead of going around constantly saying "I don't get paid enough for this!", without saying it to the people who matter and who could possibly change that for you.

Action >>> complaining. More people should follow in his footsteps.

I think it was moreso the way u put it.
Oh, not enough? Simple, find a betta one LOLZ

[charlie.]

BUT I will say 7.25 is fucking pathetic.

Fast food cooks should be getting paid MORE... (working there is WORK sometimes)
But my point is if the job you're working at isn't satisfying you financially then find another.

dssss


I get it. I should've worded it differently.

[Vonc2002]

Is it really 7.25

[Herb.]

These jobs were originally created for teens who were in high school who wanted sneakers and phones, and college students trying to get extra money for books and mess. Times have changed since the recession. Many of these students are being replaced with adults, in many cases college educated adults, who have nowhere else to turn and just need to make ends meet, possibly until they find something more suitable for them.

Less and less people are retiring from their careers at "retirement age", due to the fear of such a scarce funds once they stop working. So this leaves less slots available to people just getting out to college who are ready to fill these positions. Times are changing. But the pay in fast food hasn't. It is time they keep up with the times. Especially considering the HELL these workers go through.

[∧ ∨ ∩ ∪]

I highly doubt they will slash jobs once the wages go up. These a multi-billion dollar companies. If anything the prices may increase which should be fine. I think everyone deserves to be able to provide and support their families. No one is in ANY position to tell another what they should or shouldn't be making regardless of career/job.
