I do agree that minimum wage is not enough to support a family. I don't think anyone would disagree with that. It wasn't meant to support a family though. 30,000 dollars per year for a high school kid to **** up a cheeseburger is insane.
I agree.
Fast food has become remarkably overpriced in the past 3-5 years. McDonald's was one of the last holdouts, but they've recently gotten rid of their dollar menu. Due to the rise in prices, I've simply stopped going. If I'm desperate enough to pay $7-8 for a burger-and-fry meal, I'm going to have it served to me somewhere the forks aren't plastic. I still tip, mind you, but I find myself increasingly annoyed by the "suggested amounts" they print on receipts. 21%? I can't recall having service to justify that outside a Jeff Ruby steakhouse.
