Sharika Evans grew up working in fast food. But, she said, the minimum wages she's received ? at $7.25 an hour ? are not enough to support a family, her health care, utilities and her bills,*Evans said she was fired from the McDonald's on Canal Street following a Fight For $15 protest at the restaurant earlier this year.?

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.

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.
