Agreed, I worked at Burger King when I was a youngster and then jetted the fuck out for more money in auto mechanics. Never thought of Burger King as a career as be lucky to scrape 30k+ and who da fuck wants to bathe in grease all day besides acne. Need to be constantly looking for ways to improve yourself or be good enough that others recognize ya and offer a jump to something better. Minimum wage job wasn't meant to support 5 children from 4 dads, close your legs and go to night school part time instead of complaining ya can't get by.

Falls in line with the socialist everyone should make the same pay which would cause everyone to not give a fuck. Why go to college or learn a skill when a burger flipper makes the same as a doctor.
