Should fast food workers and restaurant staff be paid more than minimum wage? Is $15 an hour too much?

Strangely enough with my life experience, skill set, and work history – I’d say, yes they do!

You can’t even afford an apartment with $15 CAD an hour and minimum wage is only $12 CAD not even.

Personally I find working in a warehouse, on a road crew, or driving truck/operating equipment to be a lot easier...

Especially, when we’re talking stress levels and the crazy amounts of pressure that come along with customer relations and dealing with the general public!

Then again, I’ve seen these other places that are like ant hills, and there’s always a couple people who hold it together; all the while getting no credit and little reward. It’s kinda sad…

These poor souls give their life blood to it and are never rewarded.

Sure half of it’s their own fault and they should move on – but man it’s so crazy that people don’t get recognized. It’s not going to kill one of these master multi-million dollar corporations to give someone a lil something extra.

That’s probably half the reason no one strives at these places, and we can’t get a decent coffee or sandwich.

Things will never be perfect, I just know people can’t live off of the current minimum wage (unless they partner up)
That’s a whole other issue there’s literal toxic relationships EVERYWHERE where the people stay in the abuse simply because it makes “financial sense”

Not everyone can do construction or drive equipment.

And honestly, I find those jobs to be “easier”.

Heck, driving a forklift around a warehouse was the easiest thing I did in my life…

Digging a hole? Hammering a nail? Cake. Dealing with assholes like me… MISERABLE!

I know it’d be pretty depressing if we woke up one day and every single fast food worker was on strike.

Imagine the angry privilege? 😅

Thanks,
