1. Why is it titled "Fight For $15" at the top?

When one of the demands is for $25 per hour minimum wage?

2. Fight for $15 and a Union is the organization that is supporting these workers

4. Seems like they should change the name unless they are satisfied with $15

10. They would be satisfied with $15

For workers now making far less, even though $15 isn’t really enough to live on, especially if you’re a parent.
I don’t know where this country lost its way.

3. Perhaps they are hoping to settle at $15/hr.

The automatic wage deduction is unfair, especially if they don’t get a meal break. There should be a discount on meals or a credit each day, say about $10. The employee can get $10 worth of food and pay the difference if their choice goes above $10. And if they don’t eat an in-store meal that day, the credit simply gets cancelled for that day.

5. I'm not sure I've ever eaten at a Waffle House

Now I don't think I ever will.

7. They put the greasy in greasy spoon.

6. JFC they should be getting a minimum wage of $15. per hour to begin with and if they

want to eat their meals they can buy at employee discount. I have never quite understood how a country like the US could even allow such a low hourly wage to begin with. Our servers are paid the same as other industries and also get tips. To me that low rate is slave labour, if a business cannot afford to pay employees a proper wage then they should not be in business.

8. I ate at the local waffle house once last year, because my lunch

companion was fond of them. At least until that meal she had been. It was awful, and we won't even talk about the service, or the mess in the place. We determined never to go back. And now for absolute certain never going back. And that was the first time I had been in one in about 20 years.

If I want really good waffles, I go to Black Bear Dinnet, or one of several excellent local restaurants.

9. This wouldn't be a problem if we closed the borders and ended drag shows.

11. When I was young, I worked in many types of restaurants. I've NEVER heard

of a restaurant that charges their staff for meals. In certain places I couldn't eat the most expensive thing (ex.: shrimp) but, my God, how stingy!
