Anyone know if those red light camera tickets are enforceable? I got a lovely letter from the town of Farragut saying I owe them $50.
Minimum wage jobs were never intended to be for people on the 3rd, 4th, 5th jobs or whatever. Their soul purpose initially was for young people entering part-time jobs finishing hs and starting college or entering into a full time labor market. I realize their are tons of single parents and others who have been in adverse situations who, for whatever reason may still be stuck in minimum wage jobs.15 an hour ain't buyin no Tahoe..well maybe a 10 year old, 250,000 mile Tahoe with the bumpers tore off, one side caved in, the bottom rusted out.

But there is no way in hell our minimum wage should be set at $12, much less $15.
You let businesses and the market dictate the pay they are willing to fork over. But, hopefully, people working minimum wage jobs are working hard, being noticed, learning new skills thru their employer or school, updating or creating a resume and advancing into higher paying positions.
As someone posted earlier, even most fast-food restaurants are paying above minimum now just to have some workers. And no, you can't live off that alone but hopefully they aren't planning to flip a burger ten years from now at Wendy's.
Let the market dictate what they are willing to pay. It should not be dictated by the govt.
Starts from the top down. Not everybody loves the product but Chik Fil A doesn’t do bad service...from the face you see to what you get out of the bag.What’s ridiculous is the amount of effort you get in the product for those working at fast food places etc. who make minimum wage or more. I mean go to any fast food burger joint I bet 8 out of 10 of your burgers are going to look like crap because the individuals making them don’t give a crap. I miss a sense of pride in ones work in this nation. There just isn’t much of it anymore.

Something like that’s an outlier with them. With McDonald’s I almost expect it. Hence the almost 6 months since a Big Mac.Very true. I’ve never had bad service at Chick Fil A minus when they got super busy one time I think they forgot a sandwich but that was about it. Presentation and service is always good with them.
