These aren't adults.
Just because they are over the age of 24 doesn't mean they aren't still children.

Yeah, so why is anyone taking them seriously? Why isn't anyone calling them on their bullshit on TV or something?

1) Fuck that. Idiot managers deserve all the lip they get. Shitty jobs are there to convince you to move on in life. It's one of the earliest practicable demonstration of the Peter Principle most people encounter.GORDON wrote:Well, I think the purpose of fast food jobs for the last 25 years or so has been to teach teenagers how to show up on time, do a simple task properly, and learn to not lip off to idiot managers. These low paying jobs aren't intended for adults.
2) Low pay needs to be an incentive to move on to a better job unless your lifestyle permits it or you simply don't care.
Finley also holds an associates degree from a community college.
"Some customers think you're stupid because you're behind the counter, but I have an education," said Finley.
And wtf would that 2-year degree be in? Psychology? Liberal arts? English? Art History?

Not many people are going to succeed in life if they can't hold their tongue to a superior who also happens to be an idiot. That's just the way life is.Malcolm wrote:1) Fuck that.

Fuck that. I do not bow to the idiots or the idiocy. It's open season on the stupid.

44% of American jobs created in the past four years have been in low wage industries like fast food, according to the National Employment Labor Project, a liberal labor rights advocacy group.
That's a lot of crappy jobs to try and move up from.

That's a lot of people who were told that a liberal arts degree was worth $25k in student loans.

That's one of the problems. Going out and having a couple kids on top of that is where it sounds like people get buried. To which I reply that condoms are cheaper than raising a kid.GORDON wrote:That's a lot of people who were told that a liberal arts degree was worth $25k in student loans.

Yeah, I had that point ready in the wings. Peeps having kids before they can support them, and then whining that they can't support them on fast food wages.Malcolm wrote:That's one of the problems.

Fuck these people. Take their kids and put them with successful families. I'll take one.

Let me know how that controlled breeding/rearing proposal works out.

Only way to take bad nurturing out of the equation is to get them away from the bad nurturers.

I still think every problem our society faces can be solved with one word: biofuel.

News Alert: Thing That Was Obviously Going to Happen is Starting to Happen!
They've been building their cash registers to be so easy to use a McDonald's employee is able to use them. That means any idiot should be able to. Just turn it around and put a printer in the kitchen and that's all it takes.
