Plus Gogo.... You have to tolerate me. I'm a baby boomer.

I forgot to mention that I look especially hot today. Cool my hair put a little makeup on it and I'm wearing a cool black T-shirt. I mean I really look dynomite!

If you have nothing good to say about scrapple, then say nothing at all.

Fast food workers earn every penny they make. What a horrible job.

Yeah, it used to be mostly students still living at home who would work these jobs, but for some reason millennials have chosen to make fast food their career instead of taking higher paying jobs ...

I know what you mean Geeg, it's the SAME thing as when some idjit puts a PICKLE on my sammich. Utterly pollutes the whole thing. (And that's AFTER they invariably put the french fry container in the bag upside down

that's the biggest lie right there. students had to go to school  and you had to get a work permit and c average. no permit no work. and you couldn't work during school hours. and during the school week you were limited to 4 hours and couldn't work past 8 pm. weekend you could do 8 and up to 10 if over 16. you had to stop at 10 Sundays at 8. and you could only work 5 days a week.

but I never saw any fast food closed in the mornings because students couldn't work.

When a service tech for Tired Rundown and Weary in CA once stopped at Jack-in-the-Box and I forgot what sammich I ordered but it came with an iron supplement. There was a nut grilled or fried to the meat portion of the sammich.

Not a lie at all.  Same with grocery baggers.  These are entry level jobs, not meant to be career positions.  The only reason I could see anyone much older than a teenager working one would be because it is a second job that fits their schedule, or possibly because of a disability.  There are far too many jobs paying much more and require little to no experience.

Actually, I'm just refusing to get pulled into the weeds on this one as EVERYONE knows that these jobs were traditionally done by mostly teenagers.  That has begun to change over the last 10 years was my point.

Lots has changed in the economic landscape in the last 10-15 years. This is just one piece to that puzzle.

Some are confused with minimum wage and liveable wage as they think they are the same

I am highly intelligent, likable and extremely talented. I also have a lot of compassion for people.

But today was almost too much for me. I went to McDonald's and ordered a sausage McMuffin combination.

Intelligent person should have gone to some place selling food.

Why has it changed?

[RUSH1]

Why has it changed?

You tell me.  There are $20.+ /hr. start jobs everywhere for the unskilled, yet you see 20 and 30 somethings everywhere settling for the type jobs mentioned above.  One guess would be motivation.  When mom still washes your clothes, a 40 hr. work week becomes less of a priority.

I watched a 20 something at a register in the gas station unable to do simple math like calculate change from a dollar. He had to use his fingers and still couldnt figure it out because he messed up when trying to calculate the total of the purchase on the register. Had to use a calculator to do it for him.
