[QUOTE="Laihendi"][QUOTE="ChelGirl86"]I used to work in fast food, and if there is any business that needs more worker's rights, it's that. It's unreal how the franchise owners use the cheapest labor they can find to make the most money they can. There are some good owners out there, but it's ridiculous for the most part.

Why should someone hire a worker demanding a high wage when there is another equally qualified/skilled person who is willing to work for significantly less? He shouldn't, which is one of the problems with capitalism. How is that a problem? Skilled labour is more valuable than unskilled labour. Skilled labour requires education, training, discipline, etc. Unskilled labour does not.Anyone can be a janitor, cashier, bagger, burger flipper, etc. It takes years of rigorous training to be qualified to even begin working as a scientist, doctor, lawyer, etc. A person with specialized knowledge/skills is difficult to replace and therefore valuable. An unskilled labourer has no specialized knowledge/skills and is therefore not valuable.
Instead of people having an entitlement complex and complaining about how they deserve a high salary/wage despite not possessing any skills/knowledge that is particularly valuable to anyone, perhaps they should consider acquiring skills/knowledge that is valuable to someone so that someone will be willing to pay them well for their services.
