It's funny how different experiences can be. There are two different McDonald's I go to semi-regularly, and both have always been consistently fast, precise, and friendly. It's pretty much the same with all the fast-food places in my neighborhood.

So as a semi-regular your pretty much a known quantum.
I hit so many different food joints in so many States at so many different times I'm an Unknown Quantum.

I have been in some McDonalds that are so over whelmed that I was amazed at how well the trained people did their jobs!
And all the while being polite and concerned about anyone waiting.

Most?

I once commented that a McDonalds in a Mall was taking care of the drive thru first.
Guy says "We don't have a Drive thru!"
I replied "My point exactly!"
I never ordered from them again.

Fair point.

As far as what fast-food workers should be making? I see a lot of older folks who need the extra money. They usually do a good job. I see a lot of kids just starting out. Most of them do alright. There are always some who leave something to be desired.

I was suddenly reminded of an old episode of Animaniacs, in which they are all at a drive-in movie. They go to the snack bar. Wacko orders a pizza. The pimple-faced kid with braces asks him "You want fries with that?"

Wacko asks "Why would I want fries with a pizza?"

The kid stares at him for a few seconds, then says "I'll have to ask my manager."

When I see people older then me working at a McDonalds or Wal-Mart Etc?
I can't help but feel how much We have been let down.
When I see young kids playing on their phones while those older folks work?
I can't help but hope for a major EMP to hit us.

Be careful what you wish for, with no gas, no electricity, no medication, no food and no water, those older folks will be just as boned as the youngsters on their phones.

An EMP is an equal opportunity disaster.

But some of us older folk, who grew up without most of the electronic gizmos now commonplace would adapt with much more ease and have a better chance of surviving...

This reminds me of my teaching one of my exes how to cook:
