Fast Food workers just don't get it....

Taking a counter/kitchen job at a fast food chain ISN'T supposed to be a career move, it's ENTRY LEVEL.

Unless you work your butt off and get into a managerial program, you're going nowhere. It's a job almost anyone can do and your wages reflect that.

These folks flunk Economics 101:
Emboldened by an outpouring of support on social media, low-wage fast-food and retail workers in eight cities who have staged walkouts this year are calling for a national day of strikes Aug. 29.
The workers — backed by community groups and national unions, they have held one-day walkouts in cities such as New York and Detroit — say workers in dozens of cities have pledged support. 
They are calling for a wage of $15 an hour and the right to form unions. Organizers of the walkout say cashiers, cooks, and crew members at fast-food restaurants are paid a median wage of $8.94 an hour.
Since some 200 workers walked off their jobs at fast-food restaurants in New York City in November, the strikes have moved across the country, drawing attention to a fast-growing segment of the workforce that until recently had shown no inclination to organize for the purpose of collective bargaining.
