“Fast Food Restaurant minimum wage”?



If a restaurant, any restaurant, 
would pay and care for 
real good employees, 
their service, and their food.

Customers 
would always outgrow
 their competition 
and this would mean 
more money in the pocket.

Fast food like Wal-Mart is too big for their britches.


AS a proud, now retired
‘Union Steward,’ 
I believer in 
the workers of my country 
and Mother Earth for that matter.

While we are on this subject, pay should never be by ‘Gender’!

It must not be because you are 
white, black, red, brown, yellow, or (lgbtq).
Not because of your ancestors or the country they are from.
It is, or should be,
 ‘how well you do the job’!

This last one 
is the subject of today’s posting!

When anyone around my age and of a union, we are talking $15 minimum plus ‘real benefits’!

Being paid for your work 
must be by your 
qualifications, knowledge, experience, neatness 
and 
not because of your 
color or lack thereof!

Unfortunately my friends, 
this is only the beginning of this story!

When was the last time you pulled up to a window of a
“Fast Food Restaurant”?

That person 
as you pull up 
and 
the rest of the employees 
are screaming for $15 per hour, 
some even want more.


Because we only have one car 
and 
Florida is now a ‘Gun Shine State,’

And
We always take our dogs along for the ride; 
we like to treat ourselves to a lunch out,
 the dogs food is always with us.
Our trips in Florida turns out to be
a challenge just to get your order, 
let alone getting it right the first time 
and
 if you take too long 
someone behind you is on the horn!

As a 
‘Working Forman’ for 25 of my 40 years, 
not only would I not pay some of them $15.

I would try to retrain or I would fire them!
