1. That's who should be in those jobs to begin with.

Back in the day working at McDonald was for spending money for cute clothes, movies, makeup, etc. not money to support a family.

4. +1

"Back in the day" I worked at one of these joints for $1.35 an hour. It sucked ass then too.

5. Great quote.

True to the core.

16. Another great quote - well worth keeping!

7. Yeah, but now all we have left are these kinds of jobs

Since the US allowed corporations to move most of our manufacturing jobs to forgein countries....while giving those same corporations tax breaks and allowing overseas competition to use our market infrastructure.

I use to work for a textile factory, a canning factory and a furniture factory as a way of making money for college. I hopped from factory to factory, making much better than minimum wage. All these factories have moved out of the country.

Neoliberal or "free" trade has turned the US into a nation of sales clerks and waiters.

12. And during the school day exactly worked there??

More people who didn't really need a living wage either?

6. Since 14 and 15 year olds can't drive,

Those creeps would offer to drive them home at night.

10. Why not? Works in other countries and times

11. Why is this herpetic sore still in Congress and Al Franken is not?

13. I started bagging groceries at 15

Before that I was working on local farms at 14.

It’s good for a teenager to have a job, they get some extra cash, learn to manage their money, time and creates lifelong work ethic.

14. I guess paying their employees a living wage is out of the question.

Here in California one of the Repug candidates vying for the governor's chair should Newsom be recalled -- which the polls show won't happen, thank god -- is Larry Elder, who says that the minimum wage should be $0.

20. That sign at the McDonalds where I live says

Now Hiring. $16.00 an Hour.

15. Okay, I'm actually laughing at this!

OMGAWD did I need this, this morning!!!

THANK YOU, EarlG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

17. My family was middle class,

but as a 14-year-old freshman in high school, I got an afternoon job washing pots and pans in the kitchen at the local hospital year-round. I continued with the job until I graduated and joined the army.

21. Glad to see young kids get a chance.

It is hard work and some customers are assholes. Life.
