      Why work when you can get free money from the government.

        But Jay that's all they're qualified to do though

        When you do the same thing all day every day, and you still can't put the right stuff in a freaking bag, or always leave things out, then you aren't capable of doing anything more responsible and being paid more

          In the beginning this used to be kind of a joke, but it's become reality and 100% true

            This is all a result of Trump's policies. He never once went to a Burger King. Only eats at McDonald's.

              Money and unemployment on steroids. States don’t want to audit, and this continues

                The GM was upset about working 50-60 hours, something I do every week. Sorry about their situation but I have very little sympathy here. Businesses hire you to
                improve their business/culture. I started in my business at the very bottom making minimum wage and 17 years later I own the business with 150 employees. The fact is a great deal of these folks just do not have the qualifications, will or desire to change their situation. They do make excuses though.

                          They were working in 90!degree heat with no air conditioning you dumb shit, managers don’t own local franchises and they don’t have the power to order and install new parts.

                            We work 50-60 hours a week cause we get paid more than 15. I can get upwards of 55 dollars an hour for some sessions.

                            I started building kitchens with my uncle's own company when I was 16 and he paid me 20 bucks an hour. Theres no way ill work for less than that.

                            Minimum wage a complete joke. No one should work for that little.

                              If anyone is still eating this stuff, then they should probably be put in a work camp for stupidity alone. Its the worse food you can eat next to hot dogs (see nitrates). Stop eating fast food, and break out a dam pan on your stove. It aint that difficult. Plus, by the time you drive there, potentially wait in a line, get back home......you could've cooked.

                                The issue wasn’t work hours, it was 90-100 degree heat in a kitchen with no air conditioning.

                                      I worked for a month at Burger King when I was 15.

                                      Just put the burgers on the grill that fed the flame broil oven and did some fries, swept the floor a couple times.

                                      Don't see many 15 year olds working anymore.

                                        The heat is debatable... they were undermanned and frustrated. Most service businesses are right now. I live franchised business every single day and you fail again. I’d stick to what you know, losing. General Managers cannot order new equipment typically over $2500 but are authorized to order parts/service. Matter of fact, most franchised organizations have an internal person that handles that.

                                          Jay,

                                          Fair enough but I didn’t make $15 my first job in my current business. It was far less. What I did do is seize the opportunity I had though. There is no such thing as a perfect job or opportunity. You have to work towards it. I’m sure you have done just that.

                                            It's just a matter of time before all fast food places have these.

                                            These guys don't care hot hot it gets in the kitchen, they keep busting their asses.

                                                      They choose to get paid garbage. They literally applied to the job. Making minimum wage is a choice.

                                                        Working minimum wage for awhile is what lights a fire under you to want something better

                                                              Nothing about the article seems too stressful. The District Managers still have jobs, the General Manager and store employees don’t, but the store is still open. Seems more like a Tales From the Crypt episode. The District Manager probably IS a Crypt Keeper.
