Best action to support Fast Food workers August 29th?

Just want to clarify. We are not fast food workers, but want to support them in the best way possible.
What actions should we take?
(BTW - it would be good if the admins would paste a reminder to support the FFW until Aug. 29th)

My thought is simple
1) If you know a fast food worker who will be going out on that day - support them by showing up and joining them picketing.

2) if you can't do that, at the very least, brown bag it that day. Let the businesses know, no pay for the workers, no business from you.

Thoughts please?

Prove how valuable those workers are. You get a lunch rush where you have a thousand people each ordering a double cheeseburger, each in a different way, management would lose it.

Either way, works, I guess. I bring my lunch to work, anyway.
