Some insight into working a min-wage job at a fast food outlet from someone who did that:
Sure the jobs suck, I’m not disagreeing with that. But their purpose is temporary; if you are working in the industry for years without moving up the corporate ladder then something is seriously wrong with you that doubling the minimum wage isn’t going to cure.My first job (not including cutting grass around my neighborhood as a kid) was at a small grocery for minimum wage in the very early 1970s. I made $2.25 per hour. And it's a cliche to say, but I really did walk to the job and back, probably two miles (though it was not uphill both ways).
