It really backs me mad that people who flip burgers think they deserve 15 an hour. What about those…

FOR REAL!! My fiance comes home dripping I'm sweat and is constantly put in dangerous situations and gets $16/hr.

I think if they raise the wage of food workers they will have to raise other types of jobs as well. CNA s and nurses shouldn't make less than someone who didn't get some kind of training, but I guess it depends on how long these ppl have worked in that position!

@boogersbugsanddirt, my husband comes home dirty as heel muddy sweaty exhausted and works 10 hours everyday of the week sometimes 14 hours. Also on weekends sometimes. He gets paid 13 an hour.

@just9monthsx3, my mom CNA for 10 yrs makes 11 an hour. Cleans up poop pee and baths those who can't do for themselves (nursing home) now she's putting her life at risk working as a CNA at a women's prison.

Yea that's what I'm saying every situation is different and that's why they should make more than food workers ! This is gonna cause an uproar when it does happen

@lilanne1927, I understand. I never see my fiance. most days he works 12-14 hours 6 days a week.

I work in the food service industries and I don't think 15 is reasonable. Now I work at panera bread and I live in Memphis and I make 7.75 and that's not enough to live off with the cost of living with a baby. Now I do think if the raised it to 9.25 then that would be just fine with me because it's flexible. Plus my bd is a truck driver so we live comfortable. And I also don't plan on working in panera forever it's only until I finish school. So I don't agree with the15 but 9-10 would be ok!!!! That's all 🙂🙂🙂

@nikkib14, 10 would be understandable but for a place such as McDonald's and that's who are mostly aiming at 15 is ridiculous. I didn't mean to make my post sound like ALL food industries.

@lilanne1927, yea I understand exactly what your saying. I feel as if we do so much prepping and actual labor at panera unlike McDonald's whose stuff is mostly packaged that it's ridiculous for them to want 15

@nikkib14, my local McDonald's have pics of each burger that tells them what to put on them. They don't even flip them. They place each patty on a slab and shove it in this big stove looking thing. He'll just recently a McDonald's worker offered a homeless man a burger instead of the burger the worker throws a cup of water on the poor guy. And they still swear up and down they deserve it

Yea that's not ok. Then the point of jobs like that isn't for you to make a career it's for part time work and high school students.
