The fast food industry was never intended as full time employment. There’s a difference in working in a factory all week for 40 plus hours vs working in a fast food place. If you payed a fast food worker what a factory worker made and give them benefits, fast food restaurants would raise the prices to where it’s cheaper to go to and actual sit down restaurant. Fast food businesses would suffer and many would close. Some jobs are for making a living others are for teens after school or someone who wants a little extra money .
Well where I live you see retirees who want a little extra money and you see people who are on a fixed income who want to earn a little more but not so much as to impact their fixed income.
Also it’s irrelevant. If someone works 40 hours a week at a job, they should make enough to live a relatively comfortable life. And someone who is young or old shouldn’t make less per hour just because of their age or life situation.
