[quote=Anonymous]Your thread title and your text don't really match up.

I don't understand the concept of "overtly recruit kids with jobs".  Meaning, some %age of our class is reserved for kids that can show a paid job?  Obviously, if you did this...then every rich kid would get on the payroll at parent or parent friend company and game the system.

I don't necessarily think it is the minimum wage that is the problem.  Historically, no adult would take a job at McDonald's thinking this was their lifetime job, and I think there was an understanding between the employer and employee regarding this.

Now, for some, it ended up being their lifetime job, and one would hope they were promoted to Manager of that franchise, and perhaps then a regional manager at much higher pay.

I think the role of these jobs has gotten warped where everyone thinks every job needs to pay a "living wage".  You could argue that yes, McDonald's should charge much more for their food in order to pay these wages...however, that is not the business model.

It will result in AI and other technology replacing people.  White Castle and others are now rolling out completely AI drive-through ordering systems, locations are implementing burger and fry robots (since their processes have become so standardized), etc.[/quote]
