Are you that cheap, Boo?
Are you really making Ferm pay for her own plane tickets?
Is it because she makes more money than you do?

If that is the case the market proves people like the undetectable taste of cardboard.

They eat the fries, spill the Coke, throw the cardboard all over the back seat and play with the Happy Meal toy for about an hour until it begins to bore them to tears and the next day, you step on it in bare feet.
There's a reason they and Jack-in-the-Box employed a clown.

PS - that's also the reason that the extra minute matters...
The fucking whining from the back seat.

Yep, but they pay to do it millions of times a year.

That's a period in a parent's life when they have to learn to either shut out the whining or go without decent food...

This is a shame. So many cashiers are out of their jobs now. No, I don't agree with them pushing for $15 an hour - why should they get that much an hour when most of them are just starting in the workforce? They're not performing brain surgery, they shouldn't be getting paid that much. But they shouldn't be losing their jobs on the other hand, either.
Jobs have been steadily declining since Trump took over, and this is no different. The man is just a complete pig and there's no effort on his part to allow people to keep their jobs.

Take your false premise elsewhere, Trump doesn't have a damn thing to do with it. Technology is slowly but surely replacing virtually all unskilled labor and a good portion of semi-skilled. And the more unwashed idiots clamor for more money, the faster the business owners are going to invest in that technology. This has been going on since the 1980's.

I'm definitely not paying for her plane ticket. That would just be dumb, much like you, connie.

What issue do you have with women that makes you believe it's wrong for them to make more money than a man?

At least we know for sure how you feel about unskilled labor.

They should have spent more time going to school or accumulating marketable skills.

A business has no moral responsibility to provide jobs, only to identify and satisfy demand and profit from it within the law. If it takes human labor to do it fine, hire people. If it can be accomplished more efficiently and more profitably with the application of technology then they have a moral responsibility to themselves and their investors to do so.

Only those that go around demanding to be paid more than their job's worth.

A fiduciary responsibility, not a moral one.
In any case, a 16 cent rise (the increase needed to cover $15/hr wage) in the price of a big mac wouldn't hurt McDonald's bottom line, particularly when the millions saved in reduced turnover are factored in.

Define moral...
Is not protecting and advancing the interests of those whom invest in you moral?

Lets pretend that is true.
Why not raise it 32 cents? Make it $20 an hour.
Better still, raise it a buck and pay workers $40 an hour. Be a much more livable "living wage," no?
Query:
If the market could absorb a mere 16 cents / Mac so readilly, why doesn't McDonalds raise the price today, continue to "exploit" the workers as before and pass the millions of dollars on in the form of dividends to the evil, greedy shareholders?

Mc D's experts think otherwise.
At any case they are just tired of it and how about fuck all those workers they can have zero dollars per hour now!

Not sure why you say that. Doesn't appear they decided to pull out of SF and Seattle where the min wage is $15.
