Just wait until the baby is here and older women on the sidewalk think it’s ok to get near your baby.

There is one training standard. The women who made it through went through the same shit as the men, so you can take your straw man and go home.

My aunt was very specific about what she wanted when she died, but she didn’t outlive her husband as she planned and she didn’t have a will either, so nothing she wanted to happen did. Wills people.

hopefully enough restaurants will voluntarily switch to the decent rate then the other restaurants will close do to being Fuckwads. I am especially enjoying thinking of all the pot scrubbers and prep people I worked with who sent every penny possible home to their families getting a big, fat, and deserved raise. TBH I…

A story on this topic in my local paper mentioned a guy who left his son-in-law a rope and a sincere wish that he hang himself with it.

“...And to little Edward Hutchinson Revere, the youngest of my eldest, who sanded my wooden teeth into witch’s fangs last All Hallow’s Eve, I bequeath: a boot to the head!” [thwack!]

Also, college students don't need a few extra bucks. They need many extra bucks. Heck, college students were working 40 hour weeks to get by when I was in college and that was 20 years ago.

I live in a country where there is a minimum wage, and we don’t tip (unless service was extra awesome/customer just feels like it). And, SURPRISE! We still have fast food outlets! And our restaurant wait-staff are still motivated to be nice to the customers! And these businesses still make a profit!!!

“But Mom, we shouldn’t be arguing over whether people should make a wage that lets them support themselves, we should be fighting against the guys on Wall Street making shit-tons of money even if they fail at their job.”

Or hey, you could pay your managers more!

I got into an argument with some douchebag who said that exact same thing. “What was the point of my getting my degree so I could earn $15 an hour at a shitty job, if some college dropout can come along and make the same amount as me?”

Satanists are far more reasonable and likable than the pick-n-choose Christians whose beliefs are hindering the growth of this country. Likening this crusty urinal residue to the only bastion of rationality and compassion left is horrible. Also, Gandalf is my homie. So poo on your **. Poo on it, I say.

You don’t even have to go that far. Higher wages means lower turnover in your staff which means less money spent training new employees constantly. Furthermore, an experienced staff tends to be more productive, efficient, and less inclined towards mistakes.

If I had made more than minimum wage at Burger King, I would’ve ordered more value meals instead of from the value menu (because you still have to pay half price, and no discounts on pickin chicken Monday or whopper Wednesday)

My mother has broken the software of every electronic device and service she has ever owned. Phone, computer, iPad, Samsung, coffee maker, ordering from Lands End, Amazon (seriously how do you end up with 3 duplicate accounts with the same pw and email?), and the public library. If the robots try to take over, I’m…

Part of me is curious to know what his thoughts on eliminating tipping in favor of 15/hr are. I bet the bastard doesn’t even tip.

Lobbyist-mercenary and aspiring Nazgul

I cannot wait to use “Aspiring Nazgul” in a sentence, specifically one directed at those who oppose raising the minimum wage. It’s astonishing that so many people can be ignorant of the fact that the minimum wage was intended to be (and was, for a while) a LIVING wage. This is the digital age. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers…

Regardless, if your business doesn’t make enough money to pay your employees a living wage, then it is not a very good business, and deserves to go broke.
