Should a person making food at McDonalds be able to afford rent and groceries with their paycheck?

[CouldntBeMeTho]

If you're working 40 hours a week in America doing anything... ANYTHING.. you deserve those things

Those jobs were meant for teens 30 years ago. There are adults working full-time there now

They don’t want us to live full lives with the basic necessities, @Dave24 …

Anyone working anywhere should be able to afford rent and groceries wtf. That should be bare minimum shyt.

It's crazy how people are arguing against this.

Not everyone is going to be able to get a high paying career. That's literally impossible.

Some people are going to have to make our food. And they should at least be able to survive doing so.

People are so brainwashed by corporations that they don’t realize the pay raise at McDonald’s should also mean a pay raise for everyone else if “you want fast food to be paid the same as doctors and engineers”. It’s literally nothing but dumbass white folks arguing against this stuff

Facts @Magic Mulatto they see us as the dregs of society

 

[TheGreatMTB]

Who are the people least likely to be unable to afford “rent and groceries”?

People who planned their lives very meticulously which in a modern, technological society means people who did well in school and delayed gratification.

what type of double negative syntax is that. Had to read that twice.

Ideally there would be minimum wage housing for minimum wage employees. Housing that isn't that great, but it's secure.

If we keeping it a buck McDonald’s wouldn’t exist in an ideal society, it’s quite a slippery slope.

 

[Shadow King]

Yes

 

[big bun]

Mickey D’s is meant for teenagers, not grown adults to take care of a family with.

Minimum wage should be enough to afford the basics(food, clothing, shelter). It's ridiculous people have to work over forty hours and probably multiple jobs just to make ends meat.

You're adding shyt that wasn't poised in the question.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

It’s wild how people shyt on these low wage jobs like McDonald’s and Walmart yet these establishments continue to be some of the most profitable companies in the world

Like chappelle said ain’t nobody trying to pick their own strawberries….yet got every answer on why someone else shouldn’t be either

That's an old talking point that isn't true. Fast food was never meant for teens. Most adults opted those jobs because of the low pay and lack of stability. Anyone who worked fast food knows you can work 10 hours one week and 30 the next. That is something teens can tolerate but not most adults.

So then why does Mickey D's hire people who are not teenagers?
