Fast Food Industry

Fast food employees are paid as little as the law allows. They work hours on end with lines of customers coming at them with no breaks. They can't even use a restroom. Then the same cashier who rings your order may need to fix it, too. Then moments later they are unclogging the toilets. Then right back to work. The workers are made to work so hard and fast they sweat constantly. And all for $6.00 an hour or less. Customers treat them like dirt. Most all employees come from families who are desperate for money. Then the poor workers can't even depend on their small paychecks because of labor constraints. The average fast food restaurant allows only 11% of sales used on labor. In a $2000 day, open from 10AM-11PM, the dollars in labor can only be $230 or so. That is roughly 38 hours of labor to run a restaurant for 13 hours. Not only includes prep and serving the customers. It also means the entire restaurant has to be torn down daily to clean and deck scrub using that amount of labor. Boycott fast food.
