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.
