Shit is fucked up. Getting paid so little while working that many hours, with no breaks, and having to deal with a bunch of shitty customers. Meanwhile, the company is raking in millions from this new product.

I never tried their new chicken

But there's no way it beats Wendy's, Chick Fila or even Publix(For you Southerners out there).

The last one isn't a fast food place but man they have good chicken.

This too.

And when they ask for $15 an hour for all this crap, people laugh.

...and then get really pissed if someone gets an order wrong because shockingly someone not being paid much isn't going to put in the effort that someone actually getting a good wage would put.

(Also they're people and people make mistakes and shouldn't be treated as less than a person because of that....)

It's pretty well documented and studied that poverty stress impacts IQ, decision making functions, and focus.

CFA pressure cooks their patties and not everyone has a pressure cooker. Also skillet fried just isn't the same as deep fried in the case of most other places, and obviously most people don't have a deep fryer.

If this isn't just to get a reaction and this is how you really feel, then there's no helping that. Sorry your heart is like that.

I have been wanting some Popeyes spicy tenders recently, but every time I pass by a Popeyes, the line of cars is like 40 cars long, and the parking lot is packed.

They had dudes with ipads walking around taking orders.

It's fucking dumb.

Minimum wage. Slaves typically received some type of compensation for their work. It just wasn't reasonable compensation. You can get paid and still work like a slave if the labor and compensation are completely unreasonable.

and then you have topics on here from cemen actually getting mad and pissed off because the workers were relieved when the nightmare was over for the day - when the sandwich ran out.

people are so goddamn entitled, man.

So is the sandwich different or special or something? Why not order the chicken and get your own bread/buns?
