     What do you want? The McWorker to have 7 roommates to lower YOUR property values playing like a Mexican? Basically, conservatives have something in common with welfare recipients: You want something for nothing. You want your workers to live "properly" but are unwilling to pay them the money needed to do so. You want your McWorkers to "play by the rules" even though they can't afford it, and like hell if you're going to offer the needed paycheck. You want to remove mass transport, to enforce car ownership, yet bitch about uninsured driver. Do any of you conservatives expect McWorkers to live in cardboard boxes and commute by flapping their arms so they can fly in from their neighbourhood to work for you?
     Get real.

     What I want is simple : I want the McWorker to either live on the wages paid or find another job. This approach works for hundred of millions of people in America, and it's one of the fundamental ways the market self-regulates wages.

     The previous poster is exactly correct. The McWorker should never expect to prosper with such a job. If McDonalds^[sic] is the height of his ambition then he has chosen his own poverty level.
     I do not by this mean that someone should not choose to be a McWorker if that met his current needs. But to clain that the system should change is decision to suit his needs is preposterous.

     About a week ago I went to McDonalds^[sic] when the sales rep (McWorker) tells me I'm not suppose to be there. I ignore her ramblings and ate my meal, but the whole time she was eyeing me, like I was a criminal. Then I came went to McDonalds^[sic] yestarday^[sic] and I saw the McWorker (Lucy) talking to another McWorker and when I get to the front of the line they refuse to serve me.

     huh???
     "Used govt. to increase OUR property values?" No wonder you are a McWorker...you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
     Put down your crack pipe. Work harder. Quit bitching.
