Anyone who makes it possible for you lazy fat ass busy bodies to go about wasting your time and wealth on meaningless bull# more efficiently deserves a living wage for making your meaningless existence easier to manage.
Yeah, I know, probably get gigged for that post for it's being ill mannered....
PC is the destroyer of all things both good and bad for the sake of making things that cannot be made to taste like anything other than the # they are easier to swallow.

I hate to break it to you guys that think fast food workers deserve higher pay, you're only worth what the market dictates. Also I know some franchise owners, and they all say that if this continues to be an issue, that you're all gonna get replaced by touch screens with just back of the house staff. Keep pressing it though, and you won't even have a job, and my orders probably won't get messed up as often.

If you were to actually eat a meal prepared by a robot, I highly doubt it'd be as scrumptious as you're implying here.

Fast food sucks. I've had to do it. I got fired because I asked the boss for a break. He never noticed that I'd worked through mine because nobody came and relieved me. So, it was about an hour to end of shift and I asked. My sugar was really low and I needed a break.
Really any job where you have to deal with the public sucks. It stresses me out and makes me psycho. When I was a cashier I wanted to pull people over the counter and show what being rude would get them. I'm not violent but that's the reaction I had with the job. I can't deal with people lol.

Congrats on your new employment. I agree with your OP on working at fat (oops Freudian slip) food places. In fact , I will go further.I have often wondered why they consider certain occupations as unskilled.When you observe the employees in a fast food restaurant (I mean really watch) their actions look as if they are highly coordinated.This takes real skill.I know I am going to get ripped for this but why are they no payed more ? Just because the job qualifications are lower ? Tell me how many Theoretical Physicists would last more than an hour or 2 on these jobs ? They serve a function for the people as well as a surgeon does.

Exactly. There are some jobs that are essential otherwise society becomes a hell hole pretty quick :
Dustbin men (Ref : UK 1970's strike) , Toilet cleaners (Ref : uncleaned toilets -yuck) etc
There are some jobs where nobody would fricking notice and yet they get paid an obscene amount :
Stock market traders, Insurance salesmen , investment bankers etc.
