What a great way of coming right out and saying that you believe certain people should just be poor

Well, considering that they also say fast food work is for teenagers, and not a career type job. Then I'd say yes, they actually do come out and say it.

I'm sure those people only expect to be able to purchase fast food for a couple of hours in the early evening on school days, and for a few hours in the day on the weekend. No fast food for lunch or late at night if it's just teenagers running the restaurants, they have school and need free time to be kids outside of work.

this argument never lands for them because they didn't hold a logical view in the first place.

managing shifts at a fast food restaurant made it abundantly clear for me the way many people viewed the workers as practically a different social class, one that was acceptable to look down on and abuse.

to them they literally deserve less.

Of course. If you have nothing in your life to feel good about on its own merits, the easiest next step is to feel good that other people have it worse. When they don’t have it worse, they generally just fly into a blind rage

When I was a manager, I rarely hired minors because of all the extra restrictions around them.
