That's pretty good for "Ya' want fries with that?"

Fast food workers are demanding $15 an hour as a minimum wage. For a 40-hour work week, that translates to $31,000 a year. That's pretty good pay for knowing how to say, "Ya' want fries with that?"

I saw a photo of some of the protesters -- one held up a sign saying he was a new age slave. Give me a break! If you don't like the pay at fast food restaurants, get an education and go work somewhere else. "Give us a living wage" another sign said. Minimum wage jobs were never intended as career choices -- they're for teenagers, first jobs, and people who just want a little extra money. If you've been making minimum wage for more than three years, the problem is not your employer -- it's you! You're probably the one making my sandwich who isn't smart enough to comprehend "no cheese and no onions."
