Furthermore...it doesn't matter if the guy handing me my food was 50. Bottom line is it's UNSKILLED labor. What part of that can't you understand?
You don't pay people more money than what the job is worth. If they are worth a fuck, they will kick ass and go a great job and rise up by being promoted.
Just like the guy in the tie did at McDonalds.
You aren't thinking straight about this.
EDIT: And your comments about the Koch brothers have absolutely nothing to do with unskilled labor making low wages. That has been the case since long before the Koch brothers were even born.
It's called "REALITY". Get used to it. Or...change our society into one that just hands people money no matter what their skills are or the relative value of the job being done

Median age is 32 years old for mcdonalds. The minimum wage has been declining since the 1970s.
According to glassdoor.com (
http://www.glassdoor.com/Hourly-Pay/..._D_KO11,24.htm), your guy with the tie is making an average of $9.67 an hour as a shift manager. So bust your ass and you can take home an average of $19k a year.
Bust your ass and make under $20k a year lol.
Not everyone has it easy like us sitting around playing on the internet.
And I know this has been around a lot longer then the Koch brothers, but they and other like minded people have been pumping hundreds of millions into the media (really anywhere) to point fingers at poor people who are just trying to survive.
I just bring up the Koch brothers because this is what they are doing and you can see how badly they are suffering from the current recession by yet another graph
