Wendy's can't afford $15.00 an hour. My friends and I can't afford Wendy's.

1. It's crap anyway.

You're better off.

2. Which creates a feedback loop...

that makes Wendy's even more expensive since they don't sell as much so they have to raise prices which result in even more people that can't afford it thus making the Republicans happy because none of us get food.

3. Overpriced.....

...greasy....

....nasty....

It's not food.

4. "Can't afford it"

my right hind end: http://ir.wendys.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=67548&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2136634. Absolutely disgusting. Pricks like these have been low-balling their employees for DECADES. Glad I also stopped eating their crappy "food" decades ago... if you want just Google how they really make their chili.

5. I don't understand all the griping by the employers

The minimum wage would go up over several years time, with $15 an hour as the target. Why don't they look at cities that already have a higher wage, like Seattle? Their economy is better than ever.
