Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

You can't pay your employees poverty wages and expect them to care about quality.
It has to hurt for the people who spend their hard earned money on a night off from cooking by ordering out at McDonald's, but it's a lesson we all learn the hard way.
it's very hard to give a shit when you're making a meal that costs $15 in 30 seconds when you make maybe $9/hr. the math is so plainly unfair and it's right in front of you all day
Yeah. When you entire shift could just barely afford a days worth of calories and nothing more I think you would basically check out.
All the fasst food places here pay like 15$ minimum, mcdonalds. Bk, Wendy's, all the big names.
It's still shit money but it's not THAT low.
If you're selling a product that you can't produce by paying employees a lousy wage, you have to pay what's needed to produce a salable product. This is the way business works everywhere and is true for both skilled and unskilled labor.
These companies have radically increased their prices while allowing the products produced to go to shit, and their customers are doing what customers always do when faced with crappy products and high prices. We're going elsewhere.
