and people are so quick to say "find another job" if finding another job was easy maybe, just maybe they would've done so already but I mean sometimes this is the job people want.

I work for USPS and our custodial staff makes 13.75, I mean pay these people. Shit a lot of part-time clothing stores and grocery stores are starting off at 10-11 an hour.

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.

That is the fucking sad part.

My friend told me of a woman who was working at Publix. (Grocery supermarket here in Florida)

She was working there for about 12 years.
They never raised her pay and she stayed at minimum wage the entire time.

I was like  shouldn't she OWN Publix?  like bitch


at least a store manager or sum mess

And a lot of people that think retail and fast food employees are the only ones slaving. Most daycare workers and home health aides don't make shit either.

She was definitely cheated.
The more she works there, the more experience and knowledge she has about their company and products, and even customers. Which makes her, aside from a loyal employee, a very valuable employee.
There should be additional compensation for that. But that's the thing.....many people do not speak up. If you're not working for a great company that is proactive in rewarding their employees, you must make your voice heard.

But tbh, the whole "enough to make a living" argument is bigger than just minimum wage.

Am mean where I come from, 2k a month gets you luxury and SPACE. Which is how it should be imo. Imagine my surprise when I visit friends in bigger cities, and I'm waiting on them to show me my living space.... Gorl you're paying 2k for a damn CLOSET.

Ch.... no thanks

True.

My aunt is an Educational Director of a Daycare, Masters in her clutch and all, and still complains about compensation here and there lol but she's in NYC. But still....

She sacrifices a bit of pay to do what she loves. Like a lot of people.

OMG this is his full-time job as a cook and he gets 7.25$ an hour. Is THIS what salary in the U.S. looks like?

My sideline job literally gets me 15? an hour and that without having studied the profession. 

I almost bad for the man, he has to feed his family and mess. I forgot how strong German economy is. We are spoiled.

It does depend a lot on the area.

In NYC, you can live in a war struck ghetto, with prostitutes sucking dick right in front of your window, and still pay 1500 for a one bedroom apartment.

[Kurama]

Everyone is underpaid in America. I definitely think they deserve $ 15 or a lil less.

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.

It wouldn't hurt them one bit.  12-13 would be a nice compromise
