Because if youre in your forties and working maximum hours for minimum wage you have failed and deserve that as punishment. I worked with a guy that was mentally retarded, in his thirties, who worked as a cart pusher? Want to know how much he was making? Almost $25/hr. He had been with the company for some time and accrued that rate of pay.
Stop saying entry level positions need to paid a living wage. Youre going to lose these positions altogether.
People can get mad about anything these days. Don't they have things to worry about in their own life?
Got my doubts about the pay unless he's a 10+ year employee or benefitting of some extra pay due to mental health - which means the company is being rewarded for employing him (what normally would happen, at least).
You aren't going to lose low skilled jobs, they are part of life, especially in some countries of high wealth and low tax. People without the ability to climb higher deserves to survive. A living wage isn't even that much. I am talking LIVING wage, doesn't mean purchase of car, or house, or iphones etc. That is the basics, even if you don't respect humankind, you gotta realize that we aren't equal on the job market, and not everyone is rewarded with a grandeur job with swell pay and shit.
And no, you don't lose low skilled positions. Especially not when you're part of a community of consumerism and social tiers so wide apart.
And as of the punishment comment, you believe people who can't afford an education should be punished for so?
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
Nope? Taxes are low over there, 15 dollars is a bit below minimum wage here, and mostly due to the dollar tanking a bit. 15 dollars an hour is still a living wage, heck, it is a living wage in countries more expensive and higher taxed.
Survival does. We all need to live. And you don't achieve better paid jobs without the papers.
For making the best social developed country, you would expect all to want to work. 15 dollars doesn't affect other people, fuck it, I've heard of job positions to minimum 70 dollars an hour, doesn't affect me either. A person not completing an education doesn't affect me either, overall it affects the social classes because it means the system failed somewhere, or people did.
That is true, just sad it is run like a government of their neighbour, strangling development to milk the coins better. Which is understandable but you'll have a better employee if they actually can live.
Discussable, may be optional if you have a higher paid job or having someone take care of your bills. Others though, need to survive. And if pouring coffee is the only method, then shit, gotta live with customers and a fake smile because you'll be dead or in debt later if you can't climb the ladder with the attitude some has. But all in all, it is correct that you pick the job.
These no skill jobs aren't careers, no, they are traps. You can't develop, you can't hardly go forward as they are now. And no, they are not meant to be for your whole life but if you don't have any other papers, well shit, that is where some might be stuck.
I am not talking deserving, I am talking living. If you can handle full time, you should be counted under a living wage. If you can't full time, it is different - and yes, I mean that for directors too. Work force is more important overall, they are the veins of your towns and cities.
Nah, progression and freedom, but you ain't got no freedom if you're rotting at 7 dollars an hour and believed to yet still climb a ladder without education.
The fuck would I do with that? Communism is outdated.

True, makes it a bit easier to snuff them out but to be honest, striking at TH isn't even where the problem lies, they just go with what they can, because that is how it's set.

No, we understand 'labor costs'; in particular that allowing businesses to underpay employees is effectively business welfare since it forces public assistance to pick up the slack.
Let me phrase it another way; if a full time job is not sufficient to live off, that job is not worth doing.

Oh look, someone who's getting their economic data from 1995.
Ignoring the fact that no, you can't make sufficient money to subsist and pay for schooling on minimum wage, most minimum wage workers are in fact women over 35. 'Minimum wage work' has become a full time career since 2008, and it's silly to pretend it's still just for high schoolers or college students. Nor is it remotely informed to view it as a 'stepping stone' because no; not everyone has the education or skillset to progress, and they sure as hell aren't likely to gain those opportunities on minimum wage. Whether it is a 'career' or not is immaterial; it is full time work, and deserves to be paid as such.
But of course, the economics of minimum wage are pretty irrelevant when you've clearly revealed your stance with that bit about the 'language'. Your issue isn't with minimum wage, it's with Hispanics.

You're correct in that saturation does lead to wage decrease. Do you know how many high-paying blue collar jobs go unfulfilled because this generation believes its underneath them?

So you honestly think someone flips burgers should earn the same as someone with education/training and years of experience? Keep dreaming, snowflake. And yes if you aren't bothering to learn the language of the country you're living in after several years then you have no business being there in the first place.
Not in the slightest. Good thing minimum wage increases don't mean that fast food workers earn the same as accountants.
It's almost as if minimum wage increases cascade upwards because they give people above the minimum better bargaining power.
So you're not disputing your issue being with a negative view of Hispanics and poor people in general rather than the merits of the minimum wage. Kay.Keep dreaming, snowflake. And yes if you aren't bothering to learn the language of the country you're living in after several years then you have no business being there in the first place.

There are plenty of immigrants from Syria and Mexico who would gladly take those positions.

It's ridiculous from Tim Horton. Frankly, it feels like a teenager tantrum more than a stance on anything.
I live in Quebec, basically the neighbor of Ontario. We don't have the same minimum wage as they do and it was recently announced by our lovely government that they wouldn't go that route (although they did say minimum wage would rise by 50c/year), so we don't really have to deal with Tim's tantrum. Yet I have friends that work in our local Tim Horton and I can't help but wonder how that'll impact them in the long run.
Shitty reaction from Tim Horton, in any case.

[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..
There's absolutely no evidence to suggest it does.
Then tough shit? Why are these businesses worth protecting but employees aren't?If you've ever run a business (small business to be exact) you'd understand this. Wal-mart could get away with paying $15 an hour but for smaller businesses most likely not.
If your business model is contingent upon paying people insufficient money to live despite working full time, you don't deserve to be in business. Someone else will fill the market demand.
No. I happen to be white and upper middle class; you were the one who brought in 'the language' as if it was some argument against higher minimum wage. Clearly that means you don't think Hispanics deserve to be paid well for their work.Learning the language of the country you choose to belong to has NOTHING to do with negative views of hispanics.
