Busting your ass brings EXTRA, not just basics. If you can't afford to pay your employees a living wage, you can't afford your business.

How's that worked out for you?
I know I busted my ass in college like a motherfucker.
And just because you think you are supposed to only work 40 hours a week doesn't make it so. If I only worked 40 hours a week I would have never made the kind of money I have made.
And yeah...when I was in college I was on the East Coast of Florida and played a gig with my band at nights on the west coast. Slept in the car many times when I would pull off the side of the road at 4 in the morning to keep from passing out.
This woman, in my opinion, was an example of a good person with pride and dignity.
And it's not my job in this world to pay other people a "living wage". Nor is it the job of fast food restaurants.
It's the job of individuals to do what is necessary to make a living for themselves. The world doesn't owe anybody anything. Once you figure that out...you are on your way to being a success in life.
Some of the attitude I see (like yours) disgusts me. Not saying that you as a person disgust me...just the attitude that our society has formed and you have adopted.
This lady was trying her level best to work her way up and out. Meanwhile, millions in this country don't even try. They have that attitude that you are espousing...their employer OWES them a living.
Nope. And nobody forces anyone to work any job.
This woman CHOSE to work hard and try to make it. She obviously had no skill sets or education or above-average intelligence.
But I'd take a woman like her over 10 guys with your attitude any day of the week.
