    Imagine being so stupid that you think A) fast food is minimum effort and B) $20 an hour is more than most people make in fucking California

      It was mostly meant to poke fun at how fast food employees tend to mess up orders or not try, despite getting the massive pay raise. I came from browsing all channels and the post image was amusing so I thought it was a less serious thread, it wasn’t until I started getting downvoted that I realised this was in Work Reform. I still kinda stand by my statement, in that when it comes to people in California (that even care about what the minimum wage is,) fast food workers are probably out-earning the majority of them, considering minimum wage is still $16.50 for everyone else.

      The post implies that if you’re making minimum wage, you should put the minimum effort, I don’t disagree with that. However, fast food workers in California do not make minimum wage as of 2024, I was implying that they shouldn’t continue to put in the ‘minimum effort’ and at least get people’s orders right. Don’t put words in my mouth as I never once implied that fast food as a job is minimum effort, especially after the change here.
