The fight for $15 an hour in New Orleans

She shouldve known that a fast food worker's salary isnt enough to support a family or a decent lifestyle. If you want more out of life, you have to make more of yourself. Quit blaming the business you chose to work in.

Re: The fight for $15 an hour in New Orleans

Unless you are doing the job of multiple people on a regular basis, you aren't worth $15 an hour for working in fast food. I've never worked at a fast food place, but I've worked for regular restaurants. I can tell you it's not assembly line work. You have to wear a lot of different hats, so to speak, and there is a much greater attention to detail. Yet, only managers make the kind of money that this woman is asking for.

As 44 said, if it isn't enough to support your family, you find another way.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
