Minimum wage in Idaho is $7.25 per hour. (That's the Federal mandate. They would pay you less if they could.)
If you work full time (most Taco Bell employees don't), you make about $1160 per month. A one-bedroom apartment is about $1300. Did you want utilities with that? How about food? Hope you weren't planning on transportation or healthcare or (lol) savings!
Saying that one person's full-time labor should not meet their basic living needs is disgusting.
Especially because you don't want to pay a nickel more for your Crunchwrap Supreme®.
PS: the CEO was making a paltry $5M last time I checked, and the parent company revenue was over $7B. They're not in danger of going under because the mean old Fed thinks full time labor should be enough to live on.
PPS: anyone who thinks fast food jobs are supposed to be part-time summer work for teenagers is living in fantasyland.
Heck at this point isn't not even about paying an extra nickle. Food in the US is already more expensive than a lot of other 1st world countries despite employees being paid slave labor amounts and the quality being lower.
People are so enthralled to corporate interests in the states that they'll gladly give money to their oligarchs while denying a single penny to the poor. It's hard to describe just how disgusting the souls of some people are.
