It was never meant to be a living wage job you can support a family on.

And yet you’ve done nothing to help make sure people don’t make pennies and I have.
I see what you're getting at. But is it unreasonable for pay expectations to be based more on what a company or organization can pay while still remaining profitable than on the nature of the work itself?

We can only hope so.This is what happens when you pay someone over $18 an hour to flip burgers and then forget to put the fries in your bag or forget your kids chicken nuggets. Incompetent, overpaid labor cost is passed on to the consumer. The CEO continues to rake massive amounts of money and stocks annually. Then lay off the mid level, furthering the disaster. All recipes for inflation and recession. It‘s over $40 to feed a family of four onety meal from these places, they will all fail soon.

Correct, and that is exactly how a good contract would work. If you have a union they will get as much as they can for the bargaining unit based on the profits of that company.

One of the strategies to go after fast food, type workers and organize them backfired because they were replaced with kiosk. And there became less jobs now I think this was a bad idea for the companies as it has hurt them. As you can see in McDonald’s isn’t doing all that great. Franchises also made it difficult to negotiate contracts.
This is why they’ve gone after Starbucks. Those people actually have to have some training to know how to make the product they’re selling so it’s more of a skill.

automation which relieves the people needing to do the job in the first place is attractive
but workers whos jobs are automated need to live a live of decency

It’s also reduced the number of workers. some are scheduling, some with technology, and some it’s just impossible to find people even for $20.
Don't you play dumb with me, comrade. It's fine that you're wrong on this one.
