Dude 2 days ago I just got off a 15 hours shift. So don't patronize me about working 12 hour shifts. Your point is null. It's called pack a -blam!-ing lunch. I packed 2. If u don't work in a place where there's a fridge to store your food and a microwave then either petition your boss to add one or buy one yourself. Even if u bought 1 it would be cheaper in the long run then eati ng out everyday. Working 12 hours means at least 1-2 lunch breaks and a snack or 2. All of which can fit into most lunch bags. You're making excuses for yourself and in the process making yourself look like a liar or a fool. I've done outside work where a fridge wasn't even available, guess what? I improvised and filled my lunch bags with ice and placed my lunch bags in a place away from sunlight and in a cool place. No excuses, so don't bring that weak sauce to someone who probably works more hours than you. Like I said, eating out is more expensive. Doesn't matter if it's convenient or not, convenience =/= product cost. Convenience is just a sakes tactic trust me. That's the reason at theme parks and sporting events that hotdogs are 3-4 bucks. That's the reason movie theaters don't allow outside food. And btw I work in a gym, but the catch is, it takes me 2 hours to get there and 2 hours to get home. So add that shit up while u make up wxcuses and lies as to why u don't have time to cook.

Lmfao, 15 yr old confirmed. Grocery shopping can be much cheaper than eating out, not to mention ten times healthier. Of course, that's hard to know when mommy has been stuffing your face with McNuggets since you were 1. You've made it clear that you have no concept of money or what you're talking about. And if you do work 60 hours a week and still spend like you claim, you have even bigger problems that your gut.

[quote]Lmfao...you're such an idiot. Go spend $400 grocery shopping, so in 2 weeks tops all your food will go bad. Maybe to someone who still lives in candy land in mommy and daddies basement, you can imagine buying $400 worth of food, while playing house with your girlfriend who lives 4 states away that you "date" via Facebook. However, in grown up land, when you have a busy schedule, ya know...work (60 hours) gym (8 hours), then manage to have time for the girlfriend/wife, social life, video games, etc....that $400 you spent on all those nice groceries will become -blam!-ing retarded because you'll have 0 time to use half of it. Maybe when I have 3 kids it'll make more sense....but any single person (or someone who lives with their girlfriend like me, but doesn't have a family) knows that eating take out occasionally is actually around the same price...especially when a third of my time is spent at an office. Kids...[/quote] Good Lord, you can't be [i]that[/i] stupid... Can you? I shop like this [i]every single month[/i]. Now I know, for a fact, you're full of shit. Making up absurd numbers, saying things like my food will "go bad," and just otherwise obsessing over "living with Mommy"--it's very strange. You aren't fooling anyone.

Lmfao, you just keep making things up as you go. Let's clear a few things up. For starters, someone with the eating habits that you have isn't going to the gym. And if you are, just stop because you're wasting your time. Secondly, someone who eats burgers and fries on a daily basis really can't speak much to grocery shopping. It's the number one excuse that lazy, fat people use to justify the fact that they eat out every single day. "It's just as expensive." LOL, no. I work on average 50 hours a week, hit the gym 4 times a week, and still manage to go buy actual healthy food. And cook, another concept that's foreign to someone like you unless you count heating up a Totinos frozen pizza.

Idk about 15 an hour, but minimum wage should definitely be increased imo, some companies take advantage of cheap labor, and the end result is the workers end up having low moral and they produce an even lower quality of work. On top of that their quality of life will be close to shit so they won't have any desire to come in and do their best work. It's a very few select amount of people who are willing to work hard even though they're being paid inadequately. Over the years the cost of living has increased but the wages haven't increased at the same rate. The Chiefs of these companies are making huge amounts of money vs the smaller Indians..I understand a gap in wages for more educated and skilled assets, but let's be frank, does a ceo really represent the value of 1000 workers? Because that's what their pay consists of some Ceos pay consists of even higher amounts. Many corporations have a growing problem of too many chiefs and not enough indians, and they find themselves constantly trying to figure out why their company is failing on the most basic level....You can't pay your workers the bare minimum and expect the best quality of work. That isn't rocket science. 30 years ago it was okay for people to work at minimum wage, because the dollar had a much higher value back then and there were much more things of [u]value[/u] to buy with said dollar. Nowadays the if you work minimum wage chances are you're only going to be able to buy and contribute to other companies that pay their workers minimum wage. Corporate greed is the reason people belive paying fast food workers isn't necessary, but I for 1 am I tired of getting my order -blam!-ed up, I'm also tired of seeing fast food workers deal with ridiculous circumstances while some suit is far removed and has no idea how chaotic the actual restaurant is because of a few decisions they made in a meeting. Like I said 15 an hour across the board isn't necessary, but in different states and cities minimum wage should reflect the cost of living. Maybe closer to the 10-13 wage, again depending on location. Let's not forget that most companies barely ever even give out raises and will find every excuse in the book not to, and will even go as far as training their managers to enforce strict raise requirements that make it near impossible to get a raise without dedicating your life to the conpany, which would be hard to do when you're making the bare minimum.

To anyone in this board that agrees with this, please state your case.

I use to work at McDonald's, for pocket change. I don't see how it should be more than that. It's great money for someone who has parents supporting and you hate asking for money. People need to quit and let the teenagers learn to be independent.
