8 million jobs available in America!

Did the USA brexit as well or is it just they also pay crap wages?

Federal minimum wage $7.25 since 4/7/2009. But with tipped work it's only $2.13. States can vary this, so Washington, for example, is $13.69 tipped and untipped.

Yep that looks familiar. I thought Obama fixed all that?

Would have done, but the original legislation was somewhat crippled by the republcans and a few of his own party. Under Trump some parts were reversed.

No, it's not simple, what's really simple is using "it's" or "its" correctly, but you can't even get that right, so what made you qualified to have any opinion whatsoever about how to run serious business like a 3 Michelin stars place? Be grateful London (and this country in general) lucky to have it here.

There are far more people who've got good grammar who can't cook. Why should good cooks, or indeed appreciators of cooks, be good grammarians? Bit of a non-sequitur there.

I understand why. having intimate knowledge of catering they are too fecking tight to pay a decent wage. I was the Agency chap on 30% more per hour covering the staff they pissed off.

The way you talk, it sounds like you still work in a fast food chain. Is that your 'contract' role?

vetran is not a good (Michelin 3 stars) cook, so the point is a bit moot.

funny.

30 years ago working my way through college I worked in plenty of fast food chains.

My Daddy wasn't rich or a party member!

Some of my friends who do the catering work now tell me the same stories about incompetent management and disgusting pay.

Ah you are off to insults right away, seems you have already lost.

This is what you do to all my posts when I call your drivel out ... so you are finally admitting that your 'Warrty' attempt at an insult, and your 'FTFY' response, is because you have lost the argument?

Not to worry mate, I'm sure you'll up sell a McFluffy later and get that 3rd star on your uniform

[Whorty]

funny.

Thank you, I thought so too.

30 years ago working my way through college I worked in plenty of fast food chains.

So your extensive experience is based on you working part time, a few hours a week, 30 years ago? Yeah, that should support your argument really well

My Daddy wasn't rich or a party member!

Same here fella. My dad was a violent man and an alcoholic. I've not seen him for over 30 years. Mrs W never even met him. Just because I'm success now with money, it doesn't mean it was handed to me. Everything I have I have worked for.

Again, anecdotal evidence based on what your 'mate' says isn't really a strong argument fella.

Next ....

Nor are the Comis and so forth in 3* places, if they were they'd be on a lot more than min wage.

Sadly he only sees the business "need" not the poor beggars earning minimum wage.

No my argument is based on the staff not wanting to work for peanuts and the restaurant/farmers complaining because they have spent years paying peanuts something that is being reported in the media again & again with facts & figures. Yours is obviously because you support slavery.
