Re: Minimum wage now $9 an hour!!!!
I'm not an Obama supporter but it is a shame that so many companies pay as low as they do. Does a McDouble really need to be $1 or would it be better if it cost $1.50 and the workers actually made enough money to survive?

If you're trying to survive on McDonalds wages you fucked up somewhere in your life. It's a job for teenagers and 9 bucks an hour is very generous for a no skill whatsoever job.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32716157


Depends how you approach your job...

Plenty of stories of people who started off flipping burgers to ending up owning their own McDonald's location...some with a couple of them..

Nothing wrong with McDonald's or any honest work...there is dignity in all of it....it's the attitude and pride in what you do that gives one the opportunity to grow

Those no skill workers add little value to the economy and should be compensated accordingly. Artificially inflating their wage hurts everyone else. As if we don't subsidize them enough already. Don't like it, get some skills beyond those of a pimply faced 16 year old.

Okay I will make a prediction, you heard it here first.

In a couple years, maybe the end of Obama's presidency or the next POTUS, the fed will issue a denomination-less bill maybe an Obama Buck.

That is a bill that has no face value, but some text or mumbo jumbo that states you must check the official government website to find the value of the bill at that particular moment in time. You want to know how much the bill is worth, you get on line and it says $1,000,0000. The next day, it says the bill is worth $2,000,000.

You heard it here first.

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Re: Minimum wage now $9 an hour!!!!
I work at a place where they pay their employees only 9 dollars an hour which in oregon is only 5 cents above minimum wage...talk about a fucking slap in the face. 12hr shifts too...pay of course depends on shift and it's varies because of the 12hrs and we get 10 for grave, ect but it's slave labor people. Some idiots are bitching about the minimum wage increasing if that's a bad thing? like the poor save do not desereve it? For real people...? Money does actually grow on trees for those who don't think that is does. It's printed on paper last time I checked fucking iditos lol Of course you have precious jems, metals, gold ect,ect,ect-different forms of currency but "our" monetary system as well as many others too is based on debt and the printing of money until it's completely taken over by computers and then of course it'll all be digitalized in a computer chip based system. Raising the minimum wage is just a way to keep up with inflation lol the cost of living, ect,ect,ect Nothing is really changing haha same ol same ol...you still going to be a slave tmrw as you were yesterday until the day you die...so what's the point getting worked up about things you can't even change anyway. you are powerless...get over it.

I was in management when the wage in AZ was raised to $7.25 an hour. We just cut hours like a sonofabitch to make up the difference.

In these corporate fast food joints, every cent is tracked. Food costs can be controlled to a point but nothing can be controlled like labor can.

They will cut labor hours before they pass the cost along to the customers.

Don't forget they have share holders to keep happy and must show an increasing profit year over year.

Re: Minimum wage now $9 an hour!!!!
No thanks. I say abolish minimum wage. I know what I'm worth to start. I'll negotiate my wage with any prospective employer. And as it will be written in my personal contract all pay increases afterwhich will be negotiated as employer values my services an asset to the business.

You see, having a minimum wage to begin with keeps me from
getting my contacts signed. Knowing this alone, is how I know what I'm worth to start.

It's not 9 dollars either. More like 25-30 in this economy.
