The California Legislature has passed a bill to give fast food employees a minimum wage and better working conditions. As a former fast food restaurant employee, it absolutely sucks working there. But; unless you are going into management, ownership, or some other management capacity, fast food restaurant employee is not a career choice. I know people mess things up in life, and I’m glad they are earning a living and not on welfare, but front line fast food employee is not a and should not be a career choice!
If your single and plan on not having any kids, and you want to work there and not go into management, fine. But; f you have a spouse and kids, you need to look for something else. Quicky! The industry want the people who aren’t going to go anywhere else. Think about it? Who works in fast food places now? Immigrants! It’s the immigrants who have little to no skills and unfortunately its also language skills. These restaurants don’t want students or old people. The students move on in life and the old people just hang it up.
Also think about it; the fast food industry has been around for decades. Why hasn’t labor unions such as the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) try to organize these people? Labor Unions would organize dope dealers and hookers if they could.
Of course the consumer will eat the cost with a 20% increase in food prices. These people can celebrate, but they don’t see the writing on the wall. McDonald’s now have kiosks to order. And it takes a lot less people to run a McDonald’s than when I was a teenager! Also the T-100’s are coming. Robots are coming to the fast food industry. Robots, don’t call out sick, argue with customers, or other employees, steal, mess with your food or make little robots they can’t afford to feed!
